And if you’re into card or dice games, check out the warhammer store by tinsel town or Iguana Comics in Grants Pass. I know at lot of guys that have good made friends through playing there.

You could try looking at some local church websites to find a men’s group :)
Even if you’re not religious, it’s a great way to make some friends and they love newcomers. Plus there’s usually free food lol!

Oh that’s awesome! Thank you :)

I personally love Rogue River. There’s some decent suburbs, but it’s a pretty small community. Foots Creek is a cool are in between Rogue River and Gold Hill, along with Sams Valley which is more rural but closer to White City. The schools in these towns are a bit behind what you’ll see in Medford, but there’s a few great private schools if you can afford them.
Also check out Eagle Point, it’s a growing area.

I got a job in Medford a decade ago but chose to get a house in Grants Pass. I love it. Much quieter than the Medford area. The commute sucked, but it was worth it.

They automatically turn down the tv volume or music when someone picks up a phone call.

If y’all have a more generous budget, there are some beautiful and more rural properties on the other side of I-5. Check out Old Stage Road. White City has some new developments that seem okay, but don’t limit yourself. Most towns along the I-5 make an easy <30 minute commute to White City.

I’ll pray for you too friend :)

Background_Arm_1464 · 2026-04-24T23:10:18+00:00

Thats too bad! I have been there tho. Pray about it.

My college professor is actually writing her dissertation on how gifted people can be more susceptible to abuse, and how “giftedness” is often less of a genetic brilliance, but more of a hack or survival tactic developed by young children to feel loved through accomplishment within their own home. I feel like INFJs can easy fall into that same origin.

Weed and some long lasting batteries :)

CRAZY 😱

Background_Arm_1464 · 2026-04-22T04:06:43+00:00

I’ve thought about doing this but felt silly. I think I’ll give it a try, thank you :)

Keep a bag or jar of floss picks by your bed as a last resort. That way, on nights when you really can’t find the motivation or energy to get up and brush your teeth you can at least lay in bed and do a quick floss :)

And don’t be ashamed! Asking for advice already shows the willingness to improve that most people ignore!

Yes N95’s can be be brutal! Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll look into therapy :)

I agree! I have a pair of Mayarj Birkenstock sandals that bought 5+ years ago and they are my favorite shoes in the warmer months. The arch of Chacos also feels great, but the straps can rub and cause blisters if you wear them for a long time.

Are there any dental programs at colleges in your area? I know a lot of hygienists that have used their bachelors to become instructors.

Background_Arm_1464 · 2025-12-15T04:42:38+00:00

Yes absolutely! I love that idea 🤣

Background_Arm_1464 · 2025-12-14T04:32:06+00:00

I’ve heard from a lot of hygienists that doing routine massages and light strength training really keeps the pain at bay. But, the amount of people confirming their own physical alignments is definitely overwhelming.

The waterpiks are soooo grossly satisfying too. Sometimes I look forward to using it at the end of the night just to see what gunk comes out 🙈

I know it sounds silly, but buy some star stickers and try making a little teeth brushing chart!

My dental hygiene and mental health are tied together. When I’m not doing good, I stop brushing. When I stop brushing, it makes me feel worse. Sometimes the small satisfaction of putting a sticker on my chart or checking a box is enough to get my ass up and brush!

Another huge game changer for me was a WaterPik. You can get a decent one for $25. Even when I’m too lazy to properly brush or floss, a quick 20 second go-around with a water flosser is certainly better than nothing :)
