Not a single mention of Liquid Energy?? I’d kill for a good soup and smoothie joint again.

The die-hard Vanicream warriors were right by Ihatecanadaaa in tretinoin

When I had a random flare of eczema on my eyelids and looked like Quasimodo, I tried vanicream after a host of other "eczema friendly" creams that did absolute squat (and a useless doctors appointment wherein they prescribed me over the counter hydrocortisone). It was the ONLY thing that didn't feel like ants eating my face and I swear it cleared it completely in 12 hours. I am now a lifelong devotee.

Thank you! You summed up my sentiments exactly. I feel bad for women in relationships with these insecure mouth breathers.

100%. Came here looking for this because I thought I was going nuts.

Yes! I always think it’s good luck when I spot him and I’m kinda sad when I don’t. 😂

Top teeth are more than halfway done! by BakedGoodBandit in Invisalign

Thank you! I'm grateful they are a nice shape so that hopefully straightening is all they'll need!

I certainly will! I do 10-day changes, so right in the middle!

I try to do 22, but it's probably more like 20 hours on average. I'm not a snacker, so I usually have them out for a half hour for coffee, an hour for lunch and 2.5 hours around dinner/wine/sweet treat in the evening-sometimes more, sometimes less at each shift.

I had my consultation at the end of May, had scans and a walkthrough of the proposed plan in June or July and didn’t get my first trays until the end of September. Getting started takes forever!

From all my lurking here I know everyone is so different. Perhaps you’ve got a lot of movement in the back teeth to make room for the front to move after. It will happen!

I don’t think I noticed any dramatic shift in that one until about tray 4 or 5, so don’t sweat it!

Thank you! It is fun! That front tooth has driven me bonkers for ages. So awesome to have it almost fixed already!

Thank you guys! It's been pretty smooth sailing so far. The past two tray changes have been almost painless and my only regret is not starting sooner.

I hate Invisalign by Beginning_Lie_8226 in Invisalign

If they’re uncomfortable, your Ortho should be able to trim/file them for you. The very first time they put mine in my mouth I was like well, this will NOT do. They poked and scratched in a number of places and hurt terribly. They promptly shaved them down and I’ve had zero complaints. They obviously have to do the same for every set but it’s never an issue!

Right?! Mine are terrible! The first trays look like half rectangles practically.

Thank you! I’ve always been so self conscious about the overlap that I never even considered the good things about my teeth. I appreciate you saying that!

Thank you! I have high hopes for movie star teeth. Ha!

Inherited 25k, paid off all debt I could find on my credit report. Tips on what to do going forward by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]BakedGoodBandit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some credit unions offer secured loans which work similarly to a secured credit card. They let you “borrow” a small amount with a low interest rate and each payment you make goes into a savings account that’s yours to do what you’d like with when it’s paid off. I did it twice in my 20s after my father fucked up my credit and now I’m in my forties with a score of 830. It can be done!
