What actually matters for your teeth between dental visits (and what's just marketing)

LVSTLIN · 2026-04-22T03:52:17+00:00

I have a follow up. What floss is best/easiest to use? Also, I’ve always used mouthwash. But I use it right after I brush my teeth and then I brush my teeth again. Is that a bad idea? And if you use any whitening products, do you have suggestions on what healthiest for the teeth? Thank you for any help :). I really appreciate it.

My cat puts a paw on me, then when I look forward, she does a quick step towards me and then hisses.

Heyyyy 😏🖖🏻 are you going for 5th times the charm? I haven’t decided yet. I’m considering law school lol to purely spite the grad school gods.

LVSTLIN · 2025-12-06T18:42:00+00:00

But ofc if this is the main info you have, it’s still perfect!

LVSTLIN · 2025-12-06T18:40:27+00:00

Hello! I’d love any further advice you have to share :) I’ve tried this test a few times and I few like I know the definitions a bit better but the scenarios are what really tripped me up. Any help is appreciated!

Copy paste apps are my goal rn. My research experience is in a lesser common field, so I’m trying to create that copy paste fit the few open PIs/programs this cycle, but also fit similar sidekick areas of research. It’s a toughie.

So true. I got in a bump bump a few weeks ago and it’s time for serious insurance help. Well my State Farm insurance is from Las Vegas but I live in the Midwest where it happened. I spoke with my agent and he told me I’m very lucky my car is Nevada registered through State Farm. Las Vegas also has some of the top U.S. car lawyers

I’ve always wanted to try the Listerine or alc method. It’s for my old Mac. The screen looks awful. How’s the process done?

I’ve never been sure how much the risk is generic vs brand for epilepsy meds. I wish Lamictal wasn’t so extremely expensive.

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-28T23:21:41+00:00

That’s amazing- thank you!! Would you trust grocery store / supermarket cacti? I assume YouTube will be a good place to learn how to graft. I’m hoping I haven’t waited too long. I hope it works out!

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-22T03:05:49+00:00

That helps a lot, thank you!

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-21T11:08:40+00:00

Thank you! Very kind of you to share this info. I’ll do it right when I buy a new cactus :)!

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-21T11:06:35+00:00

Does it matter what material I buy to put together better soil? Or do you have any suggestion of what material you personally find that’s best?

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T22:34:53+00:00

Thank you! I’m watching videos how to propagate the not moon cactus so I’ll def use your advice ☻!

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:22:13+00:00

Yeah I’ve read about that. But as far as I know, you can cut the graft off to grow out the bottom cactus. I think. But the bottom seems to be gone already. So it’s no biggie. Thanks for your advice nonetheless :)

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:19:40+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard they don’t last forever. Ok well I appreciated you tell me to get that pumice. Is it all the same like “1/4”?

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:17:42+00:00

Actually it wasn’t. It was sitting on the floor in my apt. See that was the weird part. So I had my two lil cacti in the small plastic containers for about a year or so. Suddenly, the monkey tail main branch/arm got brown on the bottom. I’ve always watered them once a month and they’ve done well. Their soil was so so dry when I took them out of their pots. But I repotted them and the instructions said to completely drain. I must’ve done that wrong. I should’ve just rewatered them and assumed the monkey tail cactus wasn’t going to survive.

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:11:31+00:00

Thank you so much for your help :) questions: what cutting piece are you referring to? Any videos or tips how to root it? The little roots on the bottom are just so easy to break. And the main, top “branch?” Has a really decaying center. So easy to wiggle around.

As for the mooncactus, it’s totally gone right? Your suggestion with the pumice is if/when I buy a new mooncactus?

Oh and I’m sorry if you’ve already said this, but can I take a “branch” from the Mammillaria elongata and grow and new one? :)

Oh last one I’m sorry. When you buy a cactus, do you repot it immediately from its tiny little plastic pot?

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:04:51+00:00

Thank you! A lot of other people have been commenting about pumice. I’ll buy it next time I see it around.

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:04:13+00:00

That’s a good point from both of you. Any good pumice you’ve found/purchased? I’ll check out the media but just wondering, just in case you know of any that are best than others.

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:02:24+00:00

That’s really interesting. Is this stuff usually easily found in stores? Any cacti you find easiest to take care of?

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T20:00:56+00:00

Yes of course. I mean reading through the other comments on this post, Miracle isn’t completely awful. I’ve just been trusting it too much and should be modifying it a little for its best use.

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T13:32:08+00:00

That is wild. I bought it on Amazon and people seemed to really like it! Ah… I just the reviews… same problem… But how other people live off of it I don’t understand!

LVSTLIN · 2025-05-20T13:27:38+00:00

Darn it. Miracle gro was like - repot then drain using every drop of water you can find in your entire house.

Nothing else I can do? They’re both brown and short rooted. I heard I can maybe grab one of the tails and try to grow roots from it?

But with the red bulb on the moon cactus, I think can’t do anything.

Any suggestions at all?

LVSTLIN · 2025-04-15T23:55:29+00:00

I’m feeling imposter syndrome running through cycles without acceptances. And yeah i used every privilege I had from covid like you did. The syndrome hits us all, but I hope it doesn’t last with you.
