 I actually heard of a recent study that says that flossing is bad.go figure.
i had a roommate in yeshiva that only brushed in the morning to refresh his mouth.and he was a real junki (jelly beans, licorice, handfuls of candy corn etc etc)
To this day he hasn't had a single cavity.i guess dental health has more to do with DNA that we think

114 days. 
I have been fantasizing about my wife. On the one hand lust is lust. On the other hand, to be quite honest we are married 10 years & I don't recall fantasizing about her ever before. It feels like I'm finally having normal and natural sexual feelings. On the other hand, lust is lust.
I don't know. 
This is unrelated to the dental story.

That's a great share. See? Being clean opens up issues may times. I heard yesterday "I now have issues in areas that I didn't even know I had areas before." 

My experience is that speaking with my Higher Power can provide me with answers many times.

I took it to mean that I could avoid the dentist for a while and not suffer too badly for it :D

Thanks Gibbor, but I'd really like to move past the dental hygiene discussion. The marshal and (undisclosed) nimshal aren't productive. 
I certainly welcome your thoughts on my most recent post.

Thanks Shlomo. Can I ask you what is the reason you don't say "Hashem"? I understand that He may be referred to as Higher Power in 12 steps literature or elsewhere, but I figured it's just keeping things non-denominational. Why the need for that term among fellow observant Jews? I'm not trying to be combative, just want to understand if there's a reason.

Yes, lust is lust, but it's a good positive step.

Isn't a husband supposed to lust his wife.
as long as she's the only one in body and mind so to speak??

No.
 heI is supposed to desire and want his wife.
Lustin' means he is fantasizin' and somewhat out of control.
This is especially true for those of us who are addicts.

When the peacock spider spots a female, he lifts 2 legs and sticks his abdomen into the air while puffing out the flaps on the side of his abdomen (looks like a peacock).  He then proceeds to do a bizarre courtship dance with his legs up and colorful abdomen raised and vibrating. If the female is impressed she will allow the male to mount her. More often she remains unimpressed by his overtures and proceeds to devour him.
