Given my English heritage, that was an easy call.
I have Swedish half-siblings and a neice and nephews, so I’ll go with them (odds are good that they don’t really care).
I often sleep without a pillow, even in my own bed. But I almost always want at least a sheet. This may be related to the lack of pajamas.
I have heard of VRBO, since they dominated my YouTube ads for a few weeks. But i have no clue how i would pronounce it, if i somehow wanted to.
Depends on how tired I am. Sometimes I can fall asleep on somewhat rough ground, no bed needed either; but usually I want a pillow and sheet if hot, additional layers if not hot. Other, @Velocity, other.
I had to look up VRBO; once I did, I did indeed recognize them from YouTube ads, mostly as ‘oh, those were the ads that at least weren’t going on about weight or giving terrible medical advice’. But the name of the advertiser hadn’t stuck in my head.
I did a lot of camping in my Boy Scout days and slept without a bed or pillow often. I’m sure I could do it again, but it probably wouldn’t be a very sound or restful sleep.
I picked “daily”; but more accurate, although misleading, would have been “only when I have gunk stuck between my teeth”. I get gunk stuck between my teeth nearly every time I eat something, and floss multiple times a day.
I have a dental check-up every 6 months.
Far more often than “annually”, but not nearly “monthly”.
I try to brush and floss daily, but often forget or get distracted.
Far more often than “weekly”, but not nearly “daily”.
I was surprised that was not an option in the poll, because I always though every 6 months was the recommended frequency for dental checkups.
After my dental hygienist gently nagged me for long enough AND I started to develop some pockets in my gums, I’ve ended up with an unreasonably complicated dental hygiene routine. I brush with an electric toothbrush and special non-foaming tooth gel, then floss thoroughly, then use a water-pik, then brush again with a fluoride gel that I don’t rinse out. I get a cleaning (with fluoride) every six months, and I use a mouth guard at night so that I won’t grind my teeth. I also keep floss and dental picks nearby at all times and use them if I feel like anything is stuck between my teeth.
Sure, I’m spending something like an hour a day on dental care, but the pockets have receded, I haven’t had any new cavities, and my teeth always feel like I just had a cleaning!
Yep, I every 6 months is the standard. I did not vote.
mmm
I see my dentist every 3 months, because of some issues. But i agree that every 6 months is standard, and also that i didn’t vote in the poll.
Yeah, I didn’t vote either
Oh, and I have a WAVE radio/cd player/clock radio with FM, for sure. I’ve never tried to get AM, so I’m not sure if it has it. I didn’t buy it…way too expensive… it was one of the options through an employee appreciation program.
I didn’t vote. Every 6 months.
The ads that mention the name (and oddly, not all do) call it “Ver-bo” so I would also.
Regarding starting a book over, it’s typically not the plot I need a refresher on, but the names. I have a problem keeping names straight even without a gap. I said I’d start over if I missed a month. In reality, I seldom come back to a book where I was interrupted. I probably should.
Are usually have three or four books going at a time, if I start a new one, and then put it down for a week, I’m going to go back and at least need to skim it closely again. Assuming I want to read it.
I have generally had an almost eidetic memory for what I’ve read, and it lasted a very long time, but that ability has been dwindling in the past few years. I’m not sure if it’s an effect of reading ebooks or my general memory slippage, but nowadays there are books my Kindle swears I’ve started that I just don’t remember at all.
Me, too. I think Alexa has hacked my Kindle.
That’s what I thought until I moved to Switzerland. Here it is once per year.
I normally use interdental brushes instead of floss, especially as I have a permanent retainer across six of my lower teeth. Hygienist is quite impressed with my lack of tartar near the retainer as most people have problems with buildup there.
