Another random post from Maggie's. Tooth care is a complete drag, whether at home or in the dental hyena's office.

I tend to do my tooth care in the shower, but I have always hated tooth care and anything related to dentistry. Having grown up with a dentist who thought novocaine was newfangled nonsense didn't help, but as a kid I was afraid of needles too.

Anyway, some of us are obsessive tooth-carers and some are less so.

Nowadays, we have lots of choices:

- Water-pic (my dentist wants me to use, but it's a hassle)
- Old-fashioned toothbrush
- Electric toothbrush (I use, but it tickles my palate to annoyance)
- Sonic toothbrush (I want to try one)

Maybe permanent fake implants would be a good plan. (Photo is not me, thank God).

What tooth habits do our readers have?

Mark 3:20-35

3:20 and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.

3:21 When his family heard it, they went out to restrain him, for people were saying, "He has gone out of his mind."

3:22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons he casts out demons."

3:23 And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

3:24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

3:25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

3:26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end has come.

3:27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered.

3:28 "Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter;

3:29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--

3:30 for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."

3:31 Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent to him and called him.

3:32 A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for you."

3:33 And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"

3:34 And looking at those who sat around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

3:35 Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."
