Do you floss and are you regular at Flossing

My dentist keeps bugging me to floss more so I'm trying to do it everyday. Are you a regular flosser?

1. I floss but I am so incredibly lazy that I have a battery-operated flosser.

That's really pretty lazy, isn't it? I have a lot of battery-operated devices, now that I think about it.

As you age it appears that regular flossing not only cuts down on gum disease and plaque but heart disease as well. - Floss you! :P
