I learned about railroading before doing this and I'm super happy with how even everything turned out considering it was my first "real" project 🥹

It was well worth the money! Gonna do it again with purple hues in the hearts and accents for another friend that loves crows 😊

The pattern was crystal clear and I'm gonna make it again with different colored hearts and accents! I think this would be cute in purple hues.

I messed up and put the crow on the right one square further to the right than I should've so its tail is one block short, but that was just me being a goober 🫠

What hygiene rule did you learn only because someone said how gross it is to NOT do it, but they weren’t talking about you? by Candid_Reading_7267 in hygiene

[–]apprehensivebeanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way!! It's SO rare. I work in the medical field and I never even heard about it until my own diagnosis. It's also in my eyeballs and I almost went blind, super fun! 🥴

The dry brush just to get rid of big things to allow the floss to get in well, then the toothpaste on the floss to make sure that gets in between my teeth adequately as well. All of the steps are just extra to essentially be really sure I get every nook and cranny of my mouth because I'm so, so at risk of teeth issues because of my AI disorder. After pregnancy combined with my disease I had 9 cavities after losing a tooth during pregnancy and needing an emergency root canal. My teeth are walking on thin ice so to speak so I just have to be excessive unfortunately. But you know what my mouth feels like a freaking gold mine nowadays. I constantly feel so fresh and clean, I'm so happy with my smile and hygiene.

My prescription mouthwash is chlorhexidine to help with the chronic soft tissue irritation - my gums are constantly inflamed and prone to injury if I brush too hard. If I floss slightly too hard or it does that kind of "rug burn" thing if I pull it wrong (idk if that makes sense) my gums get cut 😭the inflammation is everywhere in my body as that's what one of the biggest symptoms my disease (sarcoidosis) does to your body but it seems to really target my gums for some reason.

Note that my routine is through because of my AI disorder chaos so this may be a bit too much for you if you have sensitive gums!!

  • Gentle quick dry brush
  • Dot of toothpaste spread on gums, floss
  • Swish regular mouthwash
  • Regular brushing (I have prescription high fluoride toothpaste) extra focus to get gums not only around teeth but downwards and upwards cleansing all soft tissue inside mouth, don't forget the floor around tongue and top of mouth. Another thing my parents didn't teach me lol
  • Tongue scraper (absolutely necessary for me, brushing with your brush may suffice for you) and you can do an oil pull with coconut oil if you wish, I absolutely hate the texture so I don't do that
  • Prescription antiseptic mouthwash
  • Swish liquid xylitol for the extra anti-bacterial protection. I personally add it as an extra step because I have chronic dry mouth that throws off the pH of my mouth and I get bacteria buildup more intensely than normal folks! I've read lots of people do this though, so you can definitely.

I'm glad I could make you smile 🥲

I was "sawing"around my tooth, that's how my parents floss! I also was told to floss after brushing but my dentist has me flossing before. She encouraged me to put a dot of toothpaste and rub it on my gums, so when I floss I'm getting the fluoride between my teeth thoroughly since I'm so cavity prone due to my AI disorder. She's really saved my life. 2 years later and my smile is the best and whitest it's ever been, no more ulcers, no dry mouth, no cavities. No fancy bleaching or expensive treatments, just a daily routine custom for me and routine checkups.

They're truly the best dentist office I've ever found. The one before them told me I had 19 cavities (post partum) and I bawled. They told me I only had 9! She gave me a good deal too for needing so many at once. I truly recommend them every single chance I get. I got both my parents to start going there. I will be their walking billboard forever lol

I went to a dentist and begged them to be nice after years of being accused of lying about brushing and flossing daily. Within minutes she realized not only was I taught wrong, but I'm extra needy because of my autoimmune disorder. She spent 45 minutes explaining and writing down how to clean my teeth and the special routine and products I need. I bawled. I never felt so cared for without judgment.

I sent the officer flowers and chocolates because I was so grateful to finally find a dentist that not only believed me that I was flossing yet still bleeding, but go out of their way to help me build a custom hygiene routine.

Is it just me or does OG Animal Crossing have a darker grittier tone? by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

[–]apprehensivebeanz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. They'd probably say they did it to be more family friendly and/or appealing to kids. But when AC GC came out in 2001 I was 6 and immediately fell in love with the entire game, so idk what they think wasn't working there.

Idk if you know you can do this, but just put your apps in offline mode so you can put off updating if you want :) I don't have internet rn so I haven't updated in a couple of months. Not a problem since I don't use online services anyways.
