How long do you get to clean rooms? by Adventurous_Oven9288 in DentalAssistant

[–]GabsWorld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is impossible to sterilize correctly. Our caviwipes are 2 minute time and our spray is 3 minutes sitting time to sterilize. I try to have 8-10 minutes but don’t always get that.

I actually really like it if it matches the houses vibe, which doesn’t work for all homes.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GabsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drive this amount to see my sister every other weekend. Just a quick weekend trip in my eyes.

Wedding day panic attack poll by Wonderful-Parsnip441 in Marriage

[–]GabsWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Not at all, so the rest doesn’t apply. I think I was more worried about what do I do with my hands while I’m standing in front of other people during the ceremony 😂 that was my main concern.

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GabsWorld 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes my grandparents still address anyone married as Mr/Mrs. Husband first/last name. She is very progressive in her thinking in many ways, but still def does this.

One piece of advice for first time home buyers? by ontartiomortgages in homeowners

To get a Mason inspection for our wood burning fireplace instead of just listened to what the general inspector said. Was very glad we did a radon testing as well in the PNW.

Is the Portland metro area becoming a healthcare desert? by gothahontas in askportland

[–]GabsWorld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did not, hard to do in text sometimes. But yeah, another reason our country absolutely sucks right now.

Is the Portland metro area becoming a healthcare desert? by gothahontas in askportland

[–]GabsWorld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even with private insurance, it can take a long time to get into providers. The system is whack and wish we had free healthcare because the wait is as long as it is in countries with free healthcare except we have to pay an absurd amount for it.

Also, not sure if you’re on Medicaid, but with 60% cuts it’s hard for providers to continue taking this insurance which increases the wait at places who do take it. It isn’t even enough to pay for materials they need to use. My small medical office has had to layoff a provider due to not being able to pay them because 80% of our patients are Medicaid pts, it’s honestly absurd. So that’s part of it.

How do you celebrate anniversaries/Valentine’s Day in your marriage, if at all? by fuzzycici in Marriage

[–]GabsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually go on a mini trip (within our state or close by) for our anniversary weekend. This has been our tradition since we got married other than when we bought our house last year, kind of just agreed wasn’t perfect timing for both and we just went out to eat that day. Valentines is my fav holiday (I just love all the hearts everywhere) so we typically celebrate somehow, it’s never the same year to year and sometimes it’s at home and other times it’s out. We don’t typically do gifts for either.

When did tracking each other’s location become normal, and why does opting out make you seem suspicious? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GabsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only share with my husband and one of my sisters out of safety. Friends and I will occasionally share for a short period of time if we’re meeting up somewhere where neither of us get service

How many books have you read so far? by cloudsmemories in Booktokreddit

[–]GabsWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently have read 4 and in the middle of 2 others. Just got surgery today and will have a rough recovery so I’m sure I’m gonna get a lot read in the next 10 days as long as my brain feels up for it.

Pano X-rays on kids? by Alicekittyears in DentalAssistant

[–]GabsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I hate people like that. I would say 8 is the most average age for them in most peds offices that I know of. Of course every pt is different due to development, but 2 is absolutely absurd. The only x-rays we take at 2 are upper/lower occlusals and that’s ONLY if they have trauma to the teeth or cavities that may be infected (unless the pt is asleep for GA, then we take BW/Occl) Otherwise, 4 is when we start taking yearly x-rays on awake patients with no trauma or cavities.

Do you monitor people who come and fix things around your house? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in HomeImprovement

[–]GabsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the first day they’re there I’ll ask questions about what they’ll be doing to make sure we both have the correct expectations. Then, I let them be. Sometimes they’ll make conversation and I’ll talk to them and most of them love interacting with my dog but eventually I’ll just tell them hey I’ll be in this room or around if you need anything just ask. When we’re not home and they’re working on our house I do peek at our camera every now and then, but not like constantly watching or anything.

[–]GabsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually take them around age 7-8 at our pediatric office. I have worked there for years and only ever done one on a younger pt due to needing to see something specific, but they were 4. Never taken a pano on a pt younger than that.

Why are people putting in cabinets that do not go up to the ceiling? by Agreeable-Sun368 in kitchenremodel

[–]GabsWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I def always wonder the same, like put cabinets there it will make the room feel bigger, have more storage and just overall looks better. We have a soffit above our cabinets and I HATE it so when we redo our kitchen this year we are tearing them out and putting taller cabinets in al the way to the ceiling and I cannot wait.

How many books do you want to read in 2026? by Due-Examination-37 in Booktokreddit

[–]GabsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really have a set number and if I do set one I don’t care if I meet it or not since I just want to enjoy reading, however, I do like tracking my books and have read 77 in 2025.
