Wait, is that REALLY true about the old number still working for PFL? My buddy spent THREE hours on hold last week before someone told him the same thing, but he swears it only worked on his fourth try after five different transfers.

My buddy Dave was the same way, brushed twice a day and flossed every night for like 6 months straight and still ended up with two cavities last visit. I used to think flossing was enough to keep everything perfect, but after seeing that I'm starting to realize it's more about what you eat and how your teeth are shaped. Some people just have deeper grooves in their molars that trap stuff no matter how much you floss. Plus if you're not using fluoride toothpaste or getting enough calcium that can mess you up too. It's frustrating but I guess it proves there's no magic fix, just a bunch of little things that add up.

Told my nephew the same thing. Kid thought he could just wing it with YouTube videos. Took him three months to realize he was just making poodle fluff look like tumbleweeds. Apprenticeships are everything in trades. I still mess up and look like a moron sometimes, and I've been doing this nine years. Better to learn while someone else eats the cost of your mistakes than to bleed money on your own.

Wait til you smell them three days later.

Totally agree, I dropped cash on a fancy desk for months and got maybe two actual conversations out of it.
