RE: Ahhh... The Writers Life: Perspective, Reality, and Personal Responsibility

in #lead6 years ago

Oh while reading I was maybe judging or surprised for the first few minutes. The i assumed its a fiction maybe, but as I came down and saw there is no fiction tag to the post and its all real. UMM, all I want to ask is what if you are out somewhere travelling , example hiking, then how do you manage to brush your teeth 5,6,9 times a day?

Sort:  

When I'm out for the day, I usually carry a toothbrush with me. If I know that I'm going to lunch with the girls. or family, I take a toothbrush and toothpaste in my purse.
I've learned from experience that toothpaste is not strictly necessary to clean the debris that eating creates. So, when I go hiking and such I don't usually like to waste the weight allocation on things that aren't essential. It's interesting that you mention hiking though, in this context. My hiking buddies spent a lot of time making fun of the fact that I won't carry toothpaste, but I'll carry 2 toothbrushes. One I keep in my hygiene kit which I use when we make camp. The other I keep accessible in my side pouch for when we stop to rest.
Also, I've noticed that I eat less often when I'm hiking. Usually, a cup of water and a dry toothbrush is enough to keep the debris from driving me nuts.

hahah sorry I am laughing in a positive manner. You are such an interesting person to be friends with, amazingly unique human <3
