GETTING OLD IS NOT FOR WIMPS
The older we get, the less we care
How younger folks do point and stare
I am what I am, I have come to terms
That soon IrCOll be feeding the flies and worms
I know IrCOm old when I see myself
Unable to reach the high dusty shelf
Unable to do what I want to do
Scared of being too far from a loo
Watching something on the screen
Recalling places that IrCOve been
Trying to fight against the freeze
With a blanket tucked around my knees
Thus I slouch in my rise and recline
Nodding off at twenty to nine
Then confused and vexed that IrCOm
Waking up when itrCOs bed time!

into that hole between two back teeth)

Try an interdental brush (TePe or PRO).
A bit experimental in obtaining the right size and using but once you
get the hang of them they're invaluable in cleaning between teeth.
Use before normal brushing.

Ta, have done. toothpicks (wooden, but a hundred to the pound) are just
too inflexible and tend to break.

Morrison's Dental Harps (tape or floss) work for me. There is one
'sheath' in each bag so you can take one wherever you go.

If it works for you - but it's not for me - I need to get right into a
tricky hole. those harps are a waste menace of plastic, IMO.
