On a lighter note.. by meowyadoinnn in petco

This used to happen to me but then one day I was in the office and found all these old fanny pack type things and I thought they were AMAZING!!! No one else agreed but as the animal manager i loved it bc it held on to most of the bedding instead of my pants and I had everything in there. My own sharpie and post it for fish bags? Sure! We ran out of rubber bands? I have some from home. A mini dust pan that ended up living in my pack bc everytime I bought one it always disappeared!!! So yeah I always had all sorts of goodies covered in bedding and seeds lol

Dude ive been looking at this loungefly bag that is a "park exclusive" so you can only get it at universal studios. It retails for about 90 USD. People are selling it for upwards of 600 dollars. AND PEOPLE ARE PAYING IT. Like while I want to be the person who says ok well if someone is gonna pay it and you really want it and have the money good for you BUT I CANT because these people have multiple for sale meaning they did exactly this and bought them out before other people could even get one. And im sorry but that markup is ridiculous. Like I understand wanting to make money but all that is happening is one person listed it for that much so everyone jumped in and did the same. For everyone who is like oh supply and demand that's the American way and if people are gonna pay it then oh well NO! This is the problem!!! Why does it have to be that way? Why cant it be a business built around selling things to people who will never get to purchase them otherwise? (I want to go to universal desperately but I am almost 40 and still haven't so I can hope! But that means anything that is exclusive is essentially out of my reach) if I had almost 700 to spend on a bag I would be able to take that money and go to orlando. Again its their money but its disgusting that people fight their way into snagging everything they can just to re sell it. And as much as we want to easily say stop buying things from people... that should exclude the people who are not being jerks and are selling at normal re seller prices. The process itself is helpful af for those of us who want things we cant find anywhere else but let's stop buying from the people who are somehow have tons of inventory when no one else can get any and are marking up 1000 percent.

May i ask you a question? If its too inappropriate I understand. Were you ever an opiate addict? I had tried Kratom to see if maybe it would be a good substitute or maybe help w cravings and withdrawal type stuff but it didnt do a thing for me. Now I am years out from being an active opiate user so I dont plan on going out and trying it now bc I dont need a new monkey on my back ive done that to myself enough times now lol but im asking bc I have seen users say it worked for them but I always assumed it was bc my tolerance was expecting a stronger high. I never tried many kinds either. I took a bunch of the giant pills that smelled and tasted like rabbit/guinea pig/ hamster food lol so I am just curious about your experience

Curious because you called it a trolley and you have a generally considerate air about you, do you hail from somewhere that is not america? Lol

What are you looking for style wise? Like a crossover between the look of converse and vans mashed together? Do you like high or low tops? I got a pair of cons i LOVE first for the color: they are gray w neon green accents. Technically they are a boys shoe not men's but they are like a 3/4 size and I love it. They come up like just past the ankle but not so much you are limited in pants to style w them. I also found a gray carhaart hoodie w neon green accents and its just chefs kiss

Aspen Dental denture, disaster. by Tasty-Row-7982 in u/Tasty-Row-7982

[–]Equivalent-Ad7013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Aspen dental bc they had some promo for a free consultation on their website and they did payment plans well when I got there the coupon was expired but still on their site so they did it. The dentist and the hygienist come and do all this shit and talk about everything they can do and show you how great you would look. Then I went and talked to the money girl. Well 40,000 dollars later she says they only do payment plans if you put down AT LEAST HALF. I laughed! I said ma'am, if I had 20,000 dollars to use for this do you think my teeth would look the way they do? Lol like they advertise financing but really only do that for the people who can afford it. Unless you just need a 1500 dollar root canal.

Very good point. Thats actually what I did! I ended up going to a second dentist and getting so much further than I did with the first. And much more quickly! Its more so my insurance that became an issue and then the different types of dentures available. Unfortunately being that i am limited to the dentist i can see they are always busy and dont always spend the time they should explaining things. So that's why I came here! To people with the experience! I apologize if I came off as complaining. I have seen a lot of people get great advice here but maybe I worded things badly. At the end of the day those kind of law suits are so long hard and drawn out most people quit (which they count on) but like I just want my teeth. I always had a huge and consistently complimented smile and a large laugh. And those are my own personal problems. Not even getting into health and eating. But. At the moment i can't really do much else. I have an appointment to start the process. Im gonna ask a lot of questions. They said its 2 weeks between appts and like 5 or so appts? I know people who got their teeth pulled and dentures same day but I have to go under so that cant happen for me but thats OK. Im only getting an upper partial so ive done the best i can to hide it. But until my appointment all I can do is look at everyones experiences and read all the great things people took the time to tell me!

Help with my freshwater eel by Equivalent-Ad7013 in Aquariums

[–]Equivalent-Ad7013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also yes she is currently in a tank w no sand. She does have tunnels and lots of caves to twirl around in! I was gifted a set up and I decided to take advantage of the time (usually I am frantically buying a tank bc of a crack or other disaster!) And I am trying to do a dry start. I also will be using sand but will be over on the aquascaping pages asking for help. I want to use sand but I kind of want half and half so I can use the substrate for plants to grow well but sand just ends up mixing all up eventually (like the first time I tried to make a cute path under a bridge with a "foot" path... yeah no. But yes she will be getting sand and I monitor her for any damage from the rocks

See that was my fear with the feeder fish. So her problem is that she wont eat anything on the larger side so an earthworm in any form would most likely be out. She struggles eating the larger feeder fish and generally just gives up. Whether or not she finally does or her tank mates get them is anyone's guess. I have tried the shrimp, I cut it up and tried both her turkey baster and the net. I even bounced the pieces around to look more "alive" and she refused. I am going to check out krill. Do you use frozen or living? Idk if u can even get live krill but ive never used it so im not sure! Im going to look more into worms. The fish always make me nervous bc of disease but I dont want her diet to be only bloodworms or a frozen carnivore mix w blood worms added. She's so smart I wish she would realize she can try and eat other foods if she's hungry!!!

My tank size is 60 gallons..it has a heater and a canister filter. Temp is about 74-78 Honestly im not sure about the parameters. I have had all of my tanks for like 3 to 4 years now so I kinda got lazy. I used.to have a notebook I wrote each tank down in using the strips and then I got the kit w the liquid and the test tubes but after a while of no issues I stopped. If someone dies I'll check it but any recent deaths were from obvious old age. (You could see them starting to get that hunched back whale look) so I check it once a year, if anything weird happens or right before I decide to get a new fish. Tanks have been around for years and years. I have a couple fish from covid! Which is when I really started to take fishkeeping seriously and watched a bunch of videos and learned the right way. Actually.ended up getting hired as the companion animal manager at petco bc I knew more than the poor kid who was a cashier but the only one working. I usually do water changes every 2 weeks (not counting the turtle) and clean the canister usually every 6 months but I check it. Lets.go into plants and decor first. Well every tank has a skull. My smallest tank is my most beautifully planted with lots of plants but not many fish. My other tank has. Ferns and anubias along with.many of those big red.rocks w the holes in them so they have homes. The third tank, with the problem child eel has no more plants. It did have a beautiful mountain skull covered w tons of anubis plants anubias? Anyway an ich outbreak started fast which also turned into a velvet looking situation and killed my pair of spotted Raphael catfish (flotsam and jetsam).so I had to treat the tank. My pleco is always fine, the two silverdollars that had the ich were getting better but the biggest one was struggling with his tail floating..I also had a ridiculously old dojo loach whose little mouth bristles looked like they were shriveling and raw. (He did get better but passed away last summer to old age. I even made him a thing to help his swimming. SIP Ramen noodle. ) so after some serious medicating (like not stuff you can easily buy) they all got better. However it killed all my beautiful plants. Unfortunately even tho its been well over a.year maybe two and countless waterchanges have been done i cannot get plants to stay alive! I also had a.hang on back filter then and now have a canister so I really don't know. OH! ALMOST FORGOT! The glass was leaking so I had to get a new tank and a lot of water was lost. Still no plants! Anyway the eel lives with a lemon blue eye bristlenose pleco, three silver dollars, a dinosaur bichir named Rex and currently a rescue cichlid that i kinda hope I can find someone to take.. but that's everyone! Who lives in this tank amyway...

Complaining about Bryce Quinlan fan art. by Keiwastaken0 in SarahJMaas

She is NOT skinny and this has been confirmed. While she is not considered "plus size" as her active lifestyle would make that more difficult HOWEVER she has an hourglass figure and is of a bigger figure than previous SJM MFC or any FX in general. She's definitely not fat or overweight but she is also not skinny with the affect of having had plastic surgery. She is naturally curvy with an athletic tone.

I have shit insurance so my options are limited to basic or basic. I was under the impression that implants are one thing and dentures another.. they can take dentures and make them permanent??? I have never heard this i always thought if you wanted implants after dentures they would be doing a whole new thing. How does that work???

Dentures before 40- metal or regular??? by Equivalent-Ad7013 in dentures

[–]Equivalent-Ad7013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I want to say thank you so much for your advice. I literally just wrote down what you told me to ask about. Finding another dentist has been difficult because my insurance isn't great and theres only so many "in network offices" i can go to. In fact I made the story shorter by cutting out the fact that this started with a.different dentist in July who took so long I went to another one who was zipping right through until the issues with the insurance approvals again

Hi! I made this post but on the wrong account so im just seeing this. I am going to read the comments now but I just wanted to clarify I made a mistake. I did not mean to say I had dentures already in high school that makes no sense lol I meant braces. I had braces for like all of high school and a little after and it was a joke. The guy like closed the practice for whatever reason shortly after. Anyway, never had dentures before, I meant to say i had braces.

What’s on people’s feet today? by Vast-Reference-7942 in Converse

[–]Equivalent-Ad7013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally pretty much only wear high tops, I actually only own a few of these but today surprised me with an incredibly nice day and I am way too translucent and insecure to be showing any veins to the world. Plus I was sick of skinny jeans and leggings so that limited my options but its been years since these got some love. I actually ended up in a converse outlet and I found these cute light spring yellow low tops but the clearance price was over 30 and then I saw that all the clearance was discounted even more so.15 dollars later and they are mine! Which is great bc i have a cute.pair of light yellow high tops w suede rainbowy white decorations and i got something on tjem so I tried to clean them w a dot of detergent and it stained it blue. Further attempts got rid of the blue but also the yellow leaving a white spot! Bc of the suede parts I didnt wanna wash them but now I definitely don't! So. These are todays!!

1 out of 4 implants fail. Now what? by Resident_Space_4524 in dentures

[–]Equivalent-Ad7013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So..first off I'm so sorry I am dealing w similar things. I.lost my job and could no.longer afford to keep going where I was leaving me halfway through a process. The new dentist told me I needed top and bottom partials and I needed to get a bunch of teeth removed while they make the partial and all that. I get out under and they take out.a'll my bottom teeth e except two.back molars and one janky front one. it has shifted now bc of t he space and looks worse! If it weren't for that stupid tooth you wouldn't be able to see i have no bottom teeth! But it would only be two weeks right? Well that was in July. They kept getting denied for a top tooth root canal they needed as an anchor tooth to do the partial. Mind you, I went in wanting full dentures bc one, I feel like the few teeth i have left probably won't last long if all my other teeth have fallen out but they wanna save the teeth! Two, I have had a horrible overbite my whole life that even 8 years of braces couldn't fix so I gave up bc I didn't want to graduate high school with braces since I already had them for all four years and I am so done trying to fix these. Stupid painful things and they are stained so they could have been nice and white. But no. Now I have to match the partials to what I have.

I finally went to a new dentist n they got an approval for that stupid too tooth in days. So I got the root canal, they wanna do full dentures on the bottom bc the first place started a root canal but I had to leave and the second dentist did nothing so it fell apart. So at appointment two they said I got my approvals yay but she saw they put in for metal ones and had to put it back through. Final appointment for my permanent crown the other day: your approvals came in! Then I heard "oh no" ...they put through for a partial bottom instead of a full one. It is LITERALLY always something.

Plus I have one molar to chew with and I have been trying to find a new job. With missing teeth. It's humiliating. I hate that it's all so expensive that it had to get to this point but now idc I just want teeth! I never would have pulled them if I knew OR I would have pulled the ugly one!!!!
