New use for ShamWow

In my trips to the pool with the kids, I am coming home with dripping wet swimming suits in a plastic bag.  Should that plastic bag have a hole in it, then everything else is going to get wet, including the car. 
At the YMCA I am a member of, they only have the mechanical suit dryers in the Adult only locker rooms, so I am unable to make use of them when I am alone with my kiddies.  No biggie, I just tolerated the wetness and moved on. 
Until one day when I overheard a woman in the locker complaining about dripping suits and another commented that she should uses the chamois for drying cars, like the ShamWow, to soak up the moisture on the way home.
By george, it was brilliant. 
I went home in search of the 10 pack my husband bought at a motorcycle convention and took one out.  The next time we went swimming I wrapped the dripping swim suits inside of the ShamWow and by the time I was home, the suits were moist but not dripping and nothing else in the bag was wet!
Now to find a use for the other 8 cloths!

Smile Technology Part 2

Well I am on aligner number 2 after the application of my nubs.  The dentist applied 9 nubs to my teeth.
The first aligner you receive is basically a training aligner, the surface is smooth and it prepares you and your mouth for movement.  Afterwards, the nubs are applied to the front surface of teeth in order to help along the process or moving the teeth, or even rotating them.  The application of the nubs went pretty fast and was painless. 
It has taken some getting used to the nubs to say the least.  Mostly you play with them with your tongue and can notice a slight speech impairment from them.  I find it a little hard to keep my mouth closed, and chewing with my mouth closed is a slight challenge, its going to take practice!
The nubs are like ramps on your teeth, rather small, but I'm not sure how noticible to other people.  I see them right away when I smile in the mirror, but no one has mentioned it to me yet.  I feel like the name of the product in is a small way misleading.  These aligners are so not invisable.

Nub staining - On the afternoon of Day 1 of the nub additions to my teeth, I ate a chicken curry dish for lunch.  Big surprise when I got to the bathroom to brush and floss, my teeth glowed yellow!  It took several brushings with baking soda and whitening toothpaste before the glowing was less noticeable, but several days for it to completely subside.  Lesson - keep any and all staining food and drinks to the back of the mouth.
