"Everything needs maintenance." It's not just something a wise old engineer would say; it's life. Life itself is a Toothbrushing Problem.

That is to say, if all your problems are Toothbrushing Problems then you're doing pretty good! That means you're living. At that point you can do one or all of these things:

    * Complain about your Toothbrushing Problems (<- you are here, haha)
    * Bring NEW problems into your life
    * Work to make your Toothbrushing Problems a bit less troublesome
The HN crowd would probably say that 3rd bullet is where great startups are born ;D
