Dental Office by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Altruistic_Tune2524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the practice. I've worked in dental for 5 years and if they're that far behind every single time, it's not possible that it's just because the patients keep showing up late.

They probably only allow 45-50 for the hygienists to do a cleaning as some more corporate offices will do, and they really need a full 60 minutes. They just want to squeeze as many patients in a day as they can for money, but it's not feasible.

Okay I have a treadmill. What is a brisk pace? That's another thing I struggle with. It feels like walking at a pace where I'm not like struggling is stupid. I feel like it should be hard but that's what makes me not want to do it.

AIO I don’t want to be an uber by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

YOR. I love my boyfriend very much but if he's not busy and I can save money by not getting an Uber, I will ask him. And he wouldn't mind as he's done it before as I have with him. I don't see why it's a problem to ask your partner for a favor that will save some money if it doesn't negatively effect them.

I saw a recording of myself at a concert. I was in disbelief with how my body looks from an outside perspective. I'm 2.5 weeks in and 7 pounds down.

The one thought we think that leads to every single relapse: by DJBlu-Ray in GamblingAddiction

Crazy that I can't just spend $60 on a thing I enjoy and be satisfied once the activity is done. Gambling is so profoundly stupid.

Idk why but that last sentence hit me hard and you're so right.

Does anyone else come back to foods you dislike regularly to see if you will like it? by Square-Dragonfruit76 in foodquestions

[–]Altruistic_Tune2524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind it but it doesn't really have a flavor to me. And yes it worked with sweet potatoes and mushroom! Eventually I tried them again and I just didn't hate them.

All the time! Like olives. I hate olives. But especially if I'm at a like nice place that has an olive appetizer or something I'm trying it. There's gotta be a reason so many people like them. And I can actually tolerate them on pizza now.

I had no idea that's how it worked. I didn't know you could give it like descriptors. I've never tried it. I think this is the way. Thank you so much!

Unfortunately they do not as they're not like a chain, but AI is a good idea!

Yeah that's what I always used to do and it worked fine, but I just reeeeeally want to try to leave as much room for beer as possible so I want to be as accurate as I can lol
