From my father I got a top model electric toothbrush, as requested. Tried it out-thought my teeth were going to vibrate out of my mouth.

Fun story: I inherited my grandmother’s tv sound bar. It works fine but I’ve never been able to get its backup speaker to pare. A couple months ago my brother and sister in law paid me a visit and he tried getting it to work. No dice. So your have me a brand spanking new one, complete with backup speaker. I am convinced the fact he couldn’t get that speaker to work has been gnawing at him for weeks.
