blue paint reminds her of silk

Is there an expiry date on dental floss?

The number of shoes I own has increased by one about every seven years since I turned 19.

The price of used 55 gallon barrels has gone up, but I think they wash them now which means less work for us.

I have not yet investigated the idea of parachuting from the ground up to a plateau upon which rests a tissue box filled with dynamite. I do not anticipate beginning this investigation for quite some time.

the word "finally" used to remind him of faucet knobs.

now that we know that there is no 'best before' date on dental floss, the question that begs asking is, should there be one? perhaps that should have been the question all along?
and what about the benefits vs. costs of voluntary participation vs. federally enforced implementation of a safety advisories' program, like "use goggles to prevent damage to eyes from flying debris dislodged from between your teeth. remember: its all fun and games, until someone loses an eye."

so when you turned 33 you had one more pair than when you were 19?

are the barrels being washed with a bio-degradable cleaner? or at least one that wont damage your lawn?

1,2, half-assed 3, and 4.

Should there be one? Yes.
Cost benefit analyst of warnings - most floss containers are too small for such warnings.

Turned 26, bought shoes

I am not yet 40.

I don't know what they were washed with, but they have a government approved food-cleanliness value which means it should be fine for watering my garden (not my lawn).
