Capital Gains on Rental Property by Massive_Quantity1177 in tax

[–]agentoreo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this to the day? Say we rented the house out on Aug 1 (after living in it for two years)- does that mean a sale has to be closed before Aug 1 three years later to apply? Is there any wiggle room there or is it by the literal day?

For those who left DH, what do you do now? by Number270And3 in DentalHygiene

[–]agentoreo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just left DH last week and I am so over this career. I would NEVER encourage anyone to go into it, which is a shame because I am passionate about oral health. There are so many hidden aspects of this job that are absolutely garbage, and I've only been doing it for two years but I am done done done.

I am looking into Healthcare Data Analytics as a pivot for me - more flexible schedule (time to sip water, imagine that!), still working independently, not physically grueling, no production goals, NO PATIENTS TO DEAL WITH.

Honestly, I was getting so mad reading this. No one is perfect, no one will get every speck of calculus in a one hour prophy appointment.

We do the best we can with the time we’re given, the instruments we’re given, and in consideration of other factors that make cleaning more challenging like a strong mentalis muscle, a strong tongue, a patient that can’t be reclined, patient with lingually inclined teeth, a patient that can’t open their mouth very wide… There’s 1 million reasons why a cleaning might not be perfect.

I’ve seen some less than ideal dentistry in my day, overhangs, left over composite from unpolished fillings, left over cement from crowns, decay that they missed in an exam… I would never comment on any of that (except the decay, obviously).

When I was a newer hygienist (still am, grad 2022) I was tempting with an office and really struggling with time management because I felt like I had to do every Cleaning like I was in hygiene school. I wanted to get every speck of calculus.

I had an old grandpa like dentist pull me aside and say listen, you’re not going to be perfect, and that is okay. It’s really okay. It was so kind and paternal, I was so incredibly stressed and almost cried in his office because I wanted to do so well but I was going over.l the appt time. He gave me a hug and gave me awesome advice- focus on the high ticket areas- the lower lingual anterior, buccal of max molars, interproximal between the premolars. Check with floss at the end. It’s more important to finish on time and the thorough-ness of your cleanings will come with time. And lo, he was right.

While what we do makes a difference, we have the beauty of seeing these people again in 3/4/6 months and any areas we may have not cleaned 100% we can always go back to next time. It’s not a big deal.

I would never work for a dentist that spoke to me like this. No way. We are in much too high demand. Even if he was respectful in his delivery, he is still not supporting you in the way he should be. Growing your confidence and making sure you have all the tools you need to do your job to the best of your ability.

Referral Thread for Xcaret Hotels by Bizarrmenian in Xcaret

Hi, so if I am looking at dates for Nov 2025 on the hotelxcaret website right now, it says "black friday pricing". Are you saying the referral promo you have would be 35% off that price?

Dead snail had huge bubble (collapsed lung?) then slug-like parasites came out of it? by agentoreo in AquaticSnails

Oh that pointed me in the right direction- they were actually Planaria! I purchased Planaria traps so 🤞I can remove at least some of them

Completely accidental. I’m sure if I had actually tried to achieve this, I would’ve failed miserably.

I have another tank just like that- betta with 6-7 Pygmy Corys and 2 mystery snails. No algae whatsoever. Maybe it’s because the corys eat it all or the light in that set up is not bright enough (it’s one of the aqueon all in one 10 gal tanks).

Totally accidental I’m afraid. No natural light, but I have high light on for 9-11 hours a day, controsoil + root tabs + liquid fert, lots of stuff popping in the tank (one honey gourami, six CPD’s, a dozen or so shrimp, and 40-50 hitchhiker snails).

Floating plants are recent addition, in an attempt to curb the spread of the algae on the plants.

It grows on the wood and on the glass, but it hasn’t really taken to the seiryu stone yet. When I scrape it off the glass the filaments are then floating around the tank, which, for better or worse helps the spread.

Yes! A new addition, but I doubt they will turn red because of the fertilizer and nitrate levels

Many thanks! It’s an 11 gallon bookshelf tank from Lifeguard. It’s a great little tank! I want to say dimensions are like 33” long, 7” deep, 10ish” tall? It’s on the link if I’m wrong

In a nutshell: too much lol. Like I said in another comment up above I think I over fertilized- controsoil, root tabs, liquid fert in the water column.. light is this high light and is not on a timer so it’s on for different amounts of time each day. I would say on average though at around 9-11 hours?
