We’re fighting the threat from micro beads but not ISIS.

A liquid hand soap is only any good if it contains “fine Italian pumice”. Are these “microbeads” the modern day equivalent of fine Italian pumice?

We have to pick our battles. ISIS is way too hard.

“What have you got against macro boobs?”
“Nothing and that’s why I’m upset!”

Micro is too tiny. Macro ? Well, just not so big you break your thumbs.

It works. But I saw the ingredients and asked my doc about them. Well, if I wanted a natural remedy I could ask a pharmacist. I only take it when I don't seem to have any other choice.

If I drink enough water, I don't get enough fiber and vice versa.

I like to use Lava soap. It takes off the dirt, and the skin it's attached to.

LOL!

That is kind of my memory of Lava soap. Every household should have a bar of Lava soap - just never use it.
I think it was supposed to be kept in a glass case. Break open in case of a DefCon 1 dirt emergency. Or something.
I vaguely recall that it would not lather up, but it had the good texture of sandpaper.

>>they blow them from my neighbor’s yard into mine.

Just be grateful dog walkers don’t carry ‘leaf’ blowers.

Yes. Toothpaaste is not a good place for them. Use regular with a decent brush instead.

Ya’ll just get yourselves a bar of simple soap, or a bottle
of Dr. Bronner’s liquid multi-purpose soap, or a bar of
Dr. Bronner’s soap that is also multi-purpose, even use it
for shampoo & tooth cleaner.

Forget all the fancy this and that. Use plain old apple cider vinegar as underarm deodorant and hair rinse.

Go natural. Smell like a human being.

I think you and the environment and the little fish in the Great Lakes are safe from your Miralax. Polyethylene glycol dissolves in water. Polyethylene beads don’t.

It almost sounds like you are trying to hustle snake-oil to Micronesians.

Can we have a moment of silence for the deceased?

Good point. I stir it real well, and it's all nice and clear. When I go to rinse the glass, it foams up and I have to rinse real well to get rid of the stuff.

But except for one annoyance, it works better than prune juice, MOM, and I thought I was going to have luck with some probiotics, but got the mother of all stomach aches one evening, may try them once more as they seemed to pick up where the Miralax left off. I only take it as needed. It says for temporary relief. But the dr seems to think it's ok to take every day. That is too much for me. It would go the other way after more than two or three days at a smaller capful. Any smaller, there's no point in taking it.

Thanks for the reassurance.

I spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the dentist because I got blackberry seeds or hairs under my gums. It was a mess.

He also warned me about 3D Crest with the plastic beads.

I also use coconut oil on my teeth and he said many of his patients have success with it.
