Hmmmm...

I think I may have discovered why the dentistry is less than stellar in India. The other day we realized that Chinu has been cleaning our bathroom with Listerine. While our sinks do not have plaque buildup and have that lovely minty fresh taste to them, I hope I explained well enough to her that this is not its intended purpose. Of course, with our complete lack of a shared language she might start gargling bathroom cleaner and then I am really in trouble. Also, while shopping for toothpaste the other day, one brand stated quite emphatically "Now Sugar-Free!". That's positive. How very Victorian of them. This morning while brushing my teeth something caught my eye. As you can see, we just use our family favorite, Colgate.

It's what I noticed in the corner that I find so intriguing.

So no more mutton paste? Dang it! I kept coming back for that rich, gamey flavor...

Last night we had a lovely dinner with Nathan's cousin Mike who was here on business. He works for GE in their aircraft leasing division and is based out of Singapore. He has invited us to come and then suggested that we take a hopper flight to Bali for a few days. We are thinking December time would be perfect, so all morning in anticipation I have been singing Burl Ives' yuletide favorite, "Have a Holly Bali Christmas". This is shaping up to be a pretty exciting year!

Ah, Colgate, specialists in Oral care, personal care and PET nutrition !!! (according to their website) You'd better hope that nothing goes awry in their factory or that yummy meaty taste may return.....
You know I've no idea whether the toothpaste over here is vegetarian, I suddenly have the urge to leave work, rush home and find out (but then again when don't I have the urge to leave work)
I love the idea of cleaning the bathroom with listerine; air freshner and cleaner in one.

I think we have Moose and Bear flavored paste up here. I usually just stick with Reindeer as I try to keep the spirit of Christmas alive year round in my mouth. Yummy!

Jonesy! Hey it's your American cousin Carl or if you prefer your hispanic cousin Carlos. Good to see that they are keeping the red meat out of the toothpaste over there.
I have my first Rage in the Cage fight this Saturday and I was wondering if you could make it? What's that? You'll be there? Awesome! See you in Phoenix on Saturday big guy! lol
