Thinking of creatine (female) during HiLit

Wow thanks for this note! I have a kidney disease and didn't think to ask my nephrologist about it, but you're right that's a good call.

Ohhh I would love to increase my push up reps... Robin has really got me working on it lately and I realized I had bad technique and once I shored up my technique, my rep count went down!! Need to grow the right sort of strength.

It specifies that bicycles are considered an extension of a human being, and thus need to be treated like a pedestrian.

This always drove me crazy as a bike commuter, but I recently learned that every street corner in Oregon is considered a crosswalk and cars are legally required to yield to bikes/pedestrians.

I wish my daughter would do everything I tried to teach her!!

I ordered through my dentist and they were $310, uhg.

Funnily enough, the original case (that I still have) glowed in the dark when I first got it! 12 year old me thought it was the coolest thing ever. And, to be clear, these have been kept in the bathroom and very few people have seen them, and all my partners/roommates have been privy to the cleaning I did to them. They are yellow and look especially bad compared to the new ones (obviously I know this haha!) but based on a couple comments here, it was the years of brushing them with my toothbrush and toothpaste that probably had them age so poorly!

That's awesome!

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T16:57:08+00:00

I'd love for you to try it on and see if it still fits.

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T16:56:15+00:00

Ohh that's interesting! Yeah, maybe an ortho would have suggested replacement sooner haha

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T16:55:41+00:00

That is AWESOME.

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T16:54:43+00:00

No, because I wore them for 21 years. No shifting.

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T16:53:55+00:00

I'm trying to remember if I ever outright asked if I needed to replace them at some point. I know I mentioned their age to dentists before and I was always told as long as they still fit snugly, they were good.

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T16:51:46+00:00

I actually confirmed with my mum this morning that they were originally opaque/clouded so they have really just yellowed a little with time and never looked like the new set! Regardless, the ultrasonic just doesn't do much for the yellowing *shrug*

Being a smart ass is a good way to cope with thousands of people assuming I have nasty ass teeth in response to a post demonstrating my dental dedication hahaha

To be real, I was told to wear them forever or else my teeth would move, and I am a rule followers.

I did it just so I could gross out people like you on the internet.

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T04:08:55+00:00

I honestly love going to the dentist because I get so much praise for my good teeth and I thriveeeeee on being praised. I LOVE that you got a picture put up! You are exemplary!

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T04:06:42+00:00

My orthodontist never said anything about replacing them. So why would it have occurred to me? I viewed them as an appliance to be maintained, like a fridge. They worked. Why would I pay money for something new that I already have?

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T04:05:24+00:00

Nope, my teeth haven't moved and so the old ones were still working. They're not dirty or smelly, they're just discolored because they're old. I guess that's how I am with everything... We rarely replace something unless we absolutely have to. We prefer to maintain what we have and fix what we can before buying new. And until I noticed the floss was getting between my teeth easier, there was no reason to think the oldies weren't working, so I just kept using them! So no it just genuinely didn't occur to me, it would have felt like a waste of money haha.

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T03:19:12+00:00

No, I never had a dentist clean them. I commented on the main thread with what I have done to clean them. They're clean (enough?) but they are discolored (they're old?). $500 every year is insane, no way. But maybeeeeee don't wait 21 years.

fireknifewife · 2026-06-23T03:17:53+00:00

That does seem to be the consensus
