MyTeeth.com

There are periods in my life when I cannot for the life of me, get out of bed. These past several weeks have been one of those periods. The cold, the early darkness, some inexplicable internal timer I have always puts me down this time of year.

I am not one to remember my dreams but this recent hiding under the covers in various states of alertness in the morning to mid afternoon has allowed me to recall snippets of dreams that dance in my skull as I try to will myself out of bed.

This morning I dreamt that there was a website called MyTeeth.com. MyTeeth is similar to MySpace but it's all about teeth. Everyone has pictures of their mouth and you can be friends with other people's teeth, leave comments, etc.

I reckon this comes from my recent trip to the dentist where I got my tooth cleaned (they cleaned all of them but I only have one in the front that picks up a coffee stain). This trip resulted in my dentist, Dr. Barber recommending I get a Sonic Care toothbrush. Dr. Barber has been my dentist since I was a child and I was very confused about the difference between a Dentist and a Barber for many years.

Anyway, I now have a toothbrush that has an instruction manual and is currently being "charged" for its first use.

I am a little frightened as to how this is going to go down but I will keep my MyTeeth profile up to date with all the latest info.

I get the feeling that since the thought of getting up and brushing my teeth with just my regular toothbrush has been too much to stomach lately that this electrified contraption will only add to the stress.

P.S. The web page at www.MyTeeth.com is incredibly disappointing. I recommend you do not go there and just assume that it is a real social networking site all about teeth.

P.P.S. Upon further investigation, I have discovered that while MyTeeth.com may be disappointing in and of itself, the links it provides are not. I found this link under "Dental Humor."
