and went back to the stupid little welcome screen. Around three, I went back, declared my doneness of the test, had my picture taken (I should have smiled, but my smiles look cheesy and forced anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter) and got my permit. And left that stupid place. I had no clue how to drive yet, so my mom drove me home.
Anyway, the diabetes part. A while ago, the DMV sent my mom a packet with a cover letter saying, basically, "You have a medical problem that brings into question your safeness as a driver. Go get all of your doctors to sign forms and increase their arthritis problems. In 30 days. [evil voice of doom]OR LOSE YOUR LICENSE.[/evil voice of doom]
She was able to get the signatures she needed, but we are both sure that such a letter awaits me threatening my permit because of my diabetes. Both her endocronologist and mine were like "That's only if you've gotten into an accident or if someone turns you in for unsafe driving, right?" And our responses: "Not now." Virginia's DMV, or at least the one in our area, is getting stricter on diseases and those who have them's driving privileges. So, even though I just had a doctor's appointment yesterday, I may need to get ANOTHER one (hard in only a month) soon. Lovely. Thank you, DMV, for making life harder.
And the reason I have been using a normal toothbrush instead of an electric one for over a month is.......[begin drumroll] .........[cymbal crash][end drumroll]CHEAP BATTERIES! The stupid toothbrush would work for a couple seconds and stop. My mom finally took matters into her own hands and replaced the batteries of my toothbrush with the nice little timer and such. Guess what kind of batteries were inside?

Have you ever heard of Vinnie batteries? They're the ones all huge right here.
Those are the ones that came with the stupid thing. Cheap batteries that don't last like energizer bunnies. Or duracells, or (my dad's favorite) Rayovac. VINNIE. Sounds kinda wimpy. Is kinda wimpy. After getting that toothbrush, it lasted for, perhaps, two months or so. The five-buck electric toothbrush I used before lasted much longer than that on normal SANE BRAND NAME batteries. Brand names aren't always good (clothes, but maybe that's because I think clothes shopping is BORING AS HECK), but in the case of batteries, stick with normal.
Glad you didn't miss your name. Wonder what happens when you miss one of those questions!?!?!?!
