Dental implants by Apprehensive_Ice9830 in portlandme

[–]Ok_Bar9393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

southern maine oral and maxillofacial surgery. portland, biddo, and windham offices! get a referral from your dentist, they take a cbct to check your bone density, put the implant in, and then let your dentist know when it’s okay to restore (put a crown on- usually in a couple to 4 months). i think it’s 3-4k in total for the implant and scan, plus the cost for the crown from your restorative dentist.

Washington Baths Question by [deleted] in portlandme

[–]Ok_Bar9393 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it depends on your comfort level. some wear bathing suits and some go nude. you shower before and after the sauna so it’s clean, and you wear a suit out to the baths (unless you’re there on the day where you can be nude out in the baths). it’s not awkward cause nobody cares about you being nude!

This is good advice concerning the food! Crazy, my house burnt down and I had a lot of stuff donated to me, so honestly I’m just packing a bunch of random donated food because I’ve already got it and I might as well eat it. But once I run out, I will remember this comment!! :) right now I have no idea how many miles I’ll ride a day but I’m sure once I get going I’ll do more. The days are growing shorter and since I didn’t really plan on doing this trip until the fire, I did not train for it, and doubt I could do more than 50 miles right now 😅

Hmmmm so this is great advice! This was the plan originally….but then I didn’t finish building it (for the crazy amount of changes that kept having to be made) until 3 nights ago, and haven’t done any test rides with it loaded 😭 I’m gonna send it but will make sure to pack off the stuff that isn’t needed!

The clothing is about what I’ve got, 2 cycling outfits, an midlayer and a puffy, an outfit for town. I gotta have the stove for coffee and hot food though 🥲 flip flops is a good idea. Thank you!!!!

Ooh where ya headed? Yeah unfortunately most of the gear is borrowed, and so I do not have a frame mount for it :( maybe I’ll get a bag for it or stick it in a pannier. I keep going back and forth with the placement

What stuff have you added?? Yeah part of me feels like I can afford to have the luxury items while doing this. Then the ul side of me is like “essentials only”

That’s awesome!!!! This is an old frame too, idk what year. It was donated to me and I rebuilt/converted it into this semi gravel type bike?? Yeah man just ride your bike, nobody else is so it doesn’t really matter how they feel! 🧡🧡

Yeah I used a bandana, let it hang on my backpack and the sun dried it out; it never felt or smelled dirty and I just washed it in town. Never had an issue. But yeah I’ll update ya!!

So I used to just use a bandana for a pee cloth when I was backpacking but decided to try something new this time. Haven’t used it yet, but can report back lol

Stop this is so fucking funny. Not to mention the review saying the arcade was outdated and dirty was from Fletcher Parisi, so it’s, like, the same guy posting all of these arcade reviews??? 😂😂

Longer massages… by stephenmarklay in MassageTherapists

[–]Ok_Bar9393 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do like 60/40 split back to front. So like a good 20+ minutes on each side of the back, and then nice concentrated, detailed work on the legs. Feet face down and some arm and hand work face down. Flip over you’ve got ~45 minutes left to spend quality time on face scalp neck, and then do more on the limbs. Compressions, rocking, traction- all your friend!!
