I’ve always been a big believer in running down your rechargable batteries until they’re completely useless and screaming for mercy before I recharge them. This way the battery doesn’t develope a “memory.” A lot of people say that recharable batteries don’t do this any more but I”m not convinced.So last night I’m brushing my teeth with my electric Sonicare Toothbrush. When it gets to the end of it’s charge it turns off and beeps three times. But if you give it a second it will have enough juice to run again. So in my fight to squeeze every ounce of power from that battery I brushed my teeth for 3 minutes in two second intervals.

My wife just stared at me like I was out of my mind, but at least I’m not out of a functional toothbrush.

You wrote: “at least I’m not out of a functional toothbrush.”
uh, that would not necessarily indicate that you are still not out of your mind.

Sure it does. It means I’m not just acting crazy, but there is a purpose with a goal in mind.

I’m tempted to ask for more proof, but I”m afraid you might actually find some. Don’t forget you asked me to DJ your adoption benefit.
