You may find a cheap older model Ultrasonex somewhere else. I didn't do an exhaustive search, just went to the first place I could think of.

I guess my only hesitation is buying a TOOTHBRUSH on ebay. How do I not know that this thing was used by some Chinaman and reboxed and sold to some unsuspecting dumb American like myself.

And since they can cost less if you shop around, I don't see why they wouldn't be worth it if that's what you like. Most come with a longer warranty than spring mattresses in my experience.

They will save you money in the long run as the new sonic brushes really do a much better job. It's made huge difference for my teeth. I think the electric toothbrush is a no brainer.

Many are saying that they aren't getting paid. I'm also concerned that many of you are reading this guy writing about giving away privacy. It is a slippery slope - first cell phones, then I Pass, then RFID, then the national ID, then the implantable microchip.Your life won't be easy when all the constitutional protections are talen away and you are nothing more than a slave. Anyway, I'm going to contact Lazy Man via email because he wants to stop my right to free speech! I wouldn’t use prosper. Many are saying that they aren’t getting paid.

As long as you are giving up your privacy anyway, you might as make life as easy as possible with GPS and transponers. Your cell phone already tracks you everywhere with the E911 feature.

I have an Electric Toothbrush because my dentist strongly recommended it. I have a GPS unit and can not imagine life without it now. And I love memory foam. I don't have the mattress though. I bought a queen size memory foam pad that lays on top of my regular mattress ($100 at Costco). I also use a memory foam pillow. Ok.

After all, we weren't put on this earth to be miserable. That's why we've just spent a couple of hundred quid on a new stereo we could have got for half the price: it will still be making our music sound wonderful and looking beautiful long after those cheaper models have given up the ghost - I hope!
