Thanks to all of you for the help. Bullet I really am trying to improve my workflow so I don't have to go back through and redirect edge loops afterwards it is much easier to do while modeling once you learn the best ways to model. On my most recent model I only ended up with 6 tris not to bad for most on the top of the head which I don't think is that important could be wrong though. I did have two inside the mouth which I think happened when I merged my verticies but overall a most successful model.

I was also able to go back through a few of my older models and quickly clean them up last night now knowing how to pick them out.
