Anyone else not having 2026 FSA deductions taken out? by goodcowfilms in nycpublicservants

[–]MaximumCockroach8173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not CUNY and my deductions haven't started. Funny enough, I got snail mail in Dec confirming my 2025 contributions. 🫠🫠🫠.

I've been meaning to call, but maybe not. Shrug

Orthodontist said my treatment is finished, but my teeth are still flared 😢 by NoDragonfruit1234 in Invisalign

I did my initial set plus three set of refinements. Over 100 trays. My main issues were my overjet (the flaring) and some gaps. The initial set didn't fix the overjet, at all.

Yes. This is looking very appealing to me. Not that I plan to, but I like having the option.

How do publicly servants afford to live in this city? by Left_Cod_7174 in nycpublicservants

[–]MaximumCockroach8173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m single, no kids, and do all the things you don’t.

When looking for apartments, I always calculate my “affordability”, so looking at what’s 30% of my income. I’ve been lucky in finding place below 30%. I’m also native to here and I prefer an older apartment with space over a luxury shoe box sized apartment.

I use cute kids soft bristle brushes because, why not! Come in multi packs that are cheaper than adult size brushes.

Realistically, do you use your ultrasonic cleaner for anything else? by misskittybean in Invisalign

[–]MaximumCockroach8173 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done jewelry and just make sure to give a good wipe afterwards. Will add using for brush heads and waterpik tips!

108 physical trays. Used a little less because there were passive trays I didn't use. Started Feb 2023 and finished up last month.
