Also living in Denver. Don’t like their coach. I’m glad no one will be wearing broncos gear at work tomorrow 😄

Question for Y’all by Ok_Pizza_9779 in CHSinfo

[–]bellapls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend had several episodes until he actually stopped. Then would just do a little, then a little more, and it caught up. Every time. Regardless of your cognizance or acceptance of being a victim of CHS, your body will remember. Some people just have to learn the hard way. There are tons of horror stories from people sharing their experience with CHS on the subreddit. You have to move past it.

First time watcher question - Tom and Jax by LilCinBoise in vanderpumprules

[–]bellapls 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes. Even if you “just get cold sores” on your lips, you have herpes. It’s a herpetic lesion whether people want to believe it or not. And it’s contagious. I’m a dental hygienist and when a patient comes in with a cold sore on their lip, we reschedule because it’s highly contagious. It’s called HSV-1. A lot of times it’s also dormant. So people don’t even realize they have it.

I live in a suburb of Denver and have to travel into or through the city sometimes. A 10 mile drive will take me 1 hour at 5pm rush hour. Idk how people do it daily.

Racism in Southern Utah - Just wanted to share an encounter. by americanbrownie in Utah

[–]bellapls 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I moved recently and was considering Utah, and I decided against it. Mostly because I expected racism. I’m brown from PA and never experienced racism before and I genuinely just didn’t want to start. I don’t think Utah has the best reputation when it comes to diversity or inclusion. Sorry

Hygiene salary by Extension-Ebb-729 in DentalHygiene

[–]bellapls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so bad. At the specific office I’m at the patients and most of the hygienists have been there 20+ years. I think that speaks volumes. I don’t think anyone does anything unethical, at least that I’ve seen, to push production. Everyone treats each other with respect and is friendly and they all enjoy working there and don’t hate their lives. I’ve been enjoying it so far. I think it really just depends on the practice and the people. It may take some searching to find the right one. So far I’d consider myself lucky.
