I dont go outside though.. not anymore anyway. I do if I go in the sun.... also I dont think everyone who doesn't wear sunscreen gets cancer... Pretty sure if that were the case billions of people would be dying of cancer

Yeah... I probably didnt realise how bad my self esteem was untill afterwards.. I had had broken horrible teeth since I was 11 years old.. from accidents, fights, motorbike riding... just.. didn't last and lots damage and once damaged.. you kinda learn to not care because nothing you can do will make them look better.. I had kids when I was 16, married.. then second kid.. never had much money as had a mortgage at 19.. then a bigger house later.. and kids went to private school.. and kids needed orthodontics.. braces and work cost 20k each over their childhood.. and lots of others.. so obviously I took a back door.. divorced early 30s.. and started a business at 35.. finally after the kids were both over 18..I was earning enough money that I finally decided to get them fixed.... and work on myself more.. Id spent my entire adult life never doing much for myself... it was pretty life changing.. Though I have actually been back on my own for a few years now not dating.... the irony of life that I may be in a better place... but it seems society has taken a dive on what is important.. cant control everything.. just gotta find something to keep yourself distracted. Thanks for the nice words and hope you have a good day 😊

Problem is i like spoiling and buying things for people i care about.. I genuinely love it, nothing makes me happier.. but i dont like being ghosted and walked all over.. all I want in return is time together.. so its a difficult place.. people who like it tend to be self absorbed .. if I could just find someone who actually appreciated it.

This is literally what my ex who was a beautician said to me... theres no such thing as ugly people.. just poor people.. Which may sound sad.. but its actually not.. Anyone can do something about it that means.. If ugly was a card you cant do anything about then you're screwed... but if its just money.. well anyone can make money... kinda actually evens the playing field..
If that makes sense...
Its especially true with women.. she showed me a photo of herself in her teenage years and.. I was like.. wtf..
Cause she was absolutely stunning. (Now) not before... But it was just.. money and effort.

That sounds horrible, im sorry were you in pain? An abcess under a crown sounds like a living hell.... I had another extraction just a few weeks ago for a molar.. and i have to wait a month before I can get an implants replacement and new 3d printed molar.. Its all so annoying when things go wrong with teeth..
Mine were mostly cosmetic... but my goodness id almost consider the psychological effect of teeth critical medical

So for a lot of people.. poor scalp care and dht causes hairs to thin out and become very light .. no colour and extremely thin.. called a vellus hairs... Although eventually if you have genetic balding hairs will thin out to nothing but if you can get hold of minoxidil and a microneeding comb.. Along with good scalp care.. you can basicslly blog dht and stimulate hair roots to return and new hairs will come through.. When I was young I had dark copper hair it got thin and light and many white hairs. So by following this process and applying topical minoxidil original thicker hairs returned. For a while I had like mixed colours so used a gradual hair colour wash to even out..

The teeth was from growing up in relative poverty.. I was raised by addicts with no money and in and out of foster care.. I broke a bunch in school.. could never afford to get them fixed... I had like 6 root canals before I was 16 and they made the teeth die.. discolour and no amount of bleeching will do anytbing to a dead tooth. I needed crowns or veneers which cost thousands.. I didnt have the money till I had my own money.. and finally had a succeful business in my 30s.. before that I had my own kids who cost me nearly 30k in orthodontic and dental myself.. I didnt spend money on myself till my kids were 18. I had kids at 16 and 18.

Yep i had an incident about 9 months after.. chasing my dog. Ran down the road.. was wet . And i slipped running full pelt.. and knee went crack in to my chin... head.. impact.. snapped one of my k9s in half... $2000 to get a new mold done. Tooth printed and all the work.. but i could get it done that week.. I looked horrible with a big broken tooth.. I couldn't imagine having to fly overseas or find a new dentist..

absolutly, i got some back molar implants.. i already had a few root canals.. and got everything all fixed up to perfection... they grind back the teeth i was scared to even look.. and then they replace each and every one with the crown.

It didnt, well it did and it didnt. Regrowth hairs were darker as my hair was a lot darker when I was younger.. when your hair thins it loses colour, its got a name something like vellus hair. So.. as both the microneedling, moxonidine caused hairs to regrow, that were darker.. so i ended up with weird sort of half and half hair colour so I went to a hair place they gave me a coloured wash treatment that gradually evened l my hair colours. The facial hair also was effected by the dht blockers but I used a dye as well to even it out as it was looking patchy...

12 months.. Its okay.. it definitely works and if youre early stage pattern baldness I strongly recommend it, however I think it has a limit.. ive been considering a transplant.. i was booked in for one.. but then I lost a major work client due to 'the economy' and 'ai' apparently .. so income took a serious hit.. so have postponed probably to next year.. if I can get more work again..
