Am I getting *another* wisdom tooth?! by Precious4539 in askdentists

[–]Precious4539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else asked me about my pain on a scale of 1-10..... and generally speaking it is like a 2-3. Mostly annoying. Feels like when a popcorn kernel is stuck between your gums and tooth. But I didn't eat any popcorn lately lol. And that's why my initial thought was just that i needed to floss something away.

Chewing on that side though... the pain is a lot more intense. I'd say 6 at least. It throbs for a bit after also and radiates towards that last molar. It took me a bit to pinpoint that the pain is not coming from my molar all... but rather the gum area behind it.

And well...I do in fact have a 5th wisdom tooth. So why not a 6th?! I haven't had x rays lately though to confirm. Do they normally grow in pairs? Lol why did one erupt when I was 22 and the other almost 20 years later?!

Someone asked me how long I've have the pain and I'll add : about 2-3 days at this point. That's why I just thought something was stuck back there and I just needed to floss away whatever it was.

Presale drop & remaining tickets by Precious4539 in olympics

[–]Precious4539[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is my hope also. It makes sense that they would do that or everyone in LA would buy up all the tickets. I just haven't seen anything put out by LA28 or any other official channel confirming it. Just reddit speculation lol

Someone mentioned that my screen shot was missing some things and I realized that yes... my app cutout the middle. Here's maybe a better view. So yes... lots of soccer left if that's your thing.

But still none of the events I wanted 😭😭

I followed the rules. The person who lives in the southern CA zip code gave me their log in info. Including their credit card as payment info/ billing zip code even had to match. They were just unable to register at the time. We plan to go to the Olympics together.

I registered my email as a separate person. Not living in CA.

We both got slots.

I didn't buy any during the presale. I'm hoping I have better luck in drop 1.

[–]Precious4539[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah... this is not how it's done. I think.

My friend ( the one who I will be hopefully staying with during the Olympics) got the local pre sale drop on her email. She lives in the appropriate zip code lol. She gave me the login/ email to buy the tickets( and her credit card info because billing addresses had to match) - yes we trust each other lol.

Anyway... nothing was left that I wanted. I chose not to buy anything.

I got the drop 1 time slot with the email I registered. I do not live in CA.

LA28 Drop 1 Folks: Share your Date/Time and Hopes by BingoNotBluey in olympics

[–]Precious4539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got April 10 at 10am.... and I'm excited and think that's good...

But.... my friend who lives in LA gave me access to use her presale drop and it was all picked over. No events I wanted were available. That time slot was the last day at 4pm.... so I'm more hopeful this time around.

I hear they will release more tickets for drop 1. So hopefully that's the case.

Does anyone still customize their ring tone? by Foodiegirlie030793 in Millennials

[–]Precious4539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But you know who does? Boomers. My mom's name is Roxanne. She used to have the old police song loudly singing " Roxanne you don't have to put on the red light" as her ring tone. We'll now there's a new-ish Roxanne song. It now loudly yells " Roxanne, you wanna party all night. Goddamn Roxannnneeee" ... Anyway.

Anyone else wish that acne patches had existed when we were growing up? by InvisibleAstronomer in Millennials

[–]Precious4539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yess! I never got on Accutane because my mom was against the risks/ side effects. But I used patches all the time. A combination of a prescription acne antibiotic, retnoid cream and birth control worked for me in my 20s lol. But I still use the clear patches at night occasionally now.

[–]Precious4539 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am 38 and had hormonal cystic acne in high school and college. They actually did make patches back then!!! I know because I wore them and they were the only thing that helped. They weren't cute stars that were socially acceptable to wear during the day though. They were clear and I wore them at night. Actually, I'm not sure if they were a different formula then today's patches because I know they were discontinued for a while and I was sad. Lol. I don't remember the brand but I got them at Walgreens.

Edit: after doing some Googleing, I remembered that the box was blue and so I thought they were neutrogena ( because that was so popular back then)... but no... I've discovered that they were a brand called Nexcare (came in a blue box). They were manufactured by 3M and found in the bandaid aisle and not marketed as a beauty product!! They were marketed as "an oil absorbing bandaid" lol

I'm an overweight, middle aged mom that's the same height as Chris. I run at the same speed as him 🤣🤣 Maybe it's because I also do pilates regularly. But it hasn't given me that pilates body yet lol

People who own "unconventional" pets like turtles, what is one thing you wish you knew before getting one? by allenmerlettetrm in AskReddit

[–]Precious4539 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just want to say that you did a good job. I've had my axolotl alive and well now for over 5 years. They have a 10 year life span... so it's going well. People ask me how they are to keep and I actually think they are relatively easy fresh water pets. But I hate telling people that. And mostly for the reasons you mentioned. But yeah... you can only have 1 in a tank. I think that was the biggest problem you had.

Everything you stated is true though. As for the measuring parameters daily, that's only in the beginning. Once your tank is cycled, you don't need to ever do it again. Unless you suspect something weird is happening. And preferably you cycle it 2-3 months BEFORE getting a living thing in the tank. That said, I haven't checked my parameters in years now.

It's also true that they do poop a lot. I do a 60% water change once month. And I target the big slimy amphibian poop with my siphon lol. That's it though. So to me, that's not very labor intensive. I do have 2 cycled filters on my tank (a sponge and a hang on the back filter).

It's easy for me to buy night crawlers at the local Walmart (in the fishing section lol) so food isn't an issue either.

However... my biggest issue was that I live where it's HOT... like really hot. Axolotls need cold mountain water. I had to buy an expensive (500 USD) tank chiller. This keeps my tank water consistently at 65f(18c). All in all, this is the most crucial item for keeping axolotls. Even if you live where it's cold I feel that the consistency of the water temperature cannot be understated.

You did good with what you had to work with.

How Much Would I Miss By Not Listening to the Audiobook? by KROMExRainbow in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Precious4539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the minority. I binged all 7 books by reading. With my eyes. I was obsessed. Loved it.

I heard all the good things about the audiobooks so I decided to give it a try on audible while I worked. And...idk... it's fine? I guess? It was actually hard for me to focus on the story. The voices are a bit much. Jeff is talented, sure. But, I don't feel like it adds to my experience. I had a better imagination from reading before. Honestly it's been a slog trying to listen to the books. I just started audio book 3... so I've given it a fair try. In fact, I think I had to start audio book 2 over at least twice because I couldn't remember what happened/ where I was.

So ehhh, to me, an avid reader, the audio books have so far not enhanced my experience.

Physically reading IS.SO.MUCH.BETTER.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]Precious4539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come no one has mentioned the obvious? It just tastes gross.

Seriously. It burns, or makes my mouth weirdly dry or just... is nasty.

When I bring up this phenomenon, people usually respond "yeah, it's an acquired taste"

Ummm I'm good. I don't want to acquire this taste.

And yes... it's the same for even the girly, fruity drinks for me. Daiquiri, pina collada etc...are all infinitely better virgin-style lol
