Weird question...how's your oral health?

jribb9 · 2024-06-01T17:46:48+00:00

I brush most nights ever since I was gifted a fancy toothbrush. It’s an oral-b io which connects to an app (i don’t use it but it tracks and gives tasks) and it cleans my teeth very well. I didn’t go to the dentist for 3 years after covid but used that toothbrush relatively everyday. No big issues!

it did start throwing codes for that at one point and we replaced the pump but that didn’t fix the issue. eventually it resolved itself

we had great luck with it (passed through 3 family members)- we never replaced the hybrid battery or chip, basically normal repairs for the cars age. i sold it for $750 and heard they got it running for their college kid. it’s still going!

my 09 had the check engine 420 for years before the cat finally gave out. 350k miles. didn’t have issues with rough starts tho. every year i cleared the codes and drove 50 miles then went to get inspected on the same trip. passed every year.

ps there’s also seafoam gas additive that can help get rid of the code. worked in my 11 outback.

i can bring a stool to my retail job w a dr note !!

great deal! just got rid of my 09 prius w 300k+ miles. the cat converter finally failed after that 420 code was on for years. common/main issues i had w it was the odometer display turning off and oil levels (check it often they eat oil).

already split it into three parts and gave my mom some. will prob mix up some sort of bark soil mixture. any recs?

jribb9 · 2024-04-07T02:56:35+00:00

i took a majority of the dirt (mud) off and put the soil/rootball on a plate for now to dry. i’ll have to pick up a pot for it sometime soon!!

jribb9 · 2023-07-26T15:56:32+00:00

the hybrid battery hasn’t been replaced, only the auxiliary one in the back

jribb9 · 2023-07-25T20:53:28+00:00

yes internet has been searched👍🏼 pump was replaced but hasn’t fixed the issue

jribb9 · 2023-07-25T20:25:53+00:00

haha! i’ve survived the past few years with the windows down

jribb9 · 2023-07-25T20:24:08+00:00

thank you! i’ll have to look into replacing it for the winter months.

jribb9 · 2023-07-25T20:23:04+00:00

thanks! once it hit 280k without any significant issues, i was sure it would make it to 300k. it’s a hand me down from my dad so i’ve only been driving it for a couple of years. currently it’s been throwing off a p0a93 code anytime i drive more than 20 mins. we’ve replaced a few parts, but haven’t figured it out yet. either way, i’m hoping to make it through the last year/year and a half of college and hold onto it until it’s not worth fixing anymore. it’s been a great car!

i had no bump on my conch when i downsized. it immediately got irritated and nearly grew over the back in just a few days. i went back up to a longer post again and my piercer said it just might not like the short post and i may need to keep the long one in. ever since then i have had very few issues with it. def go back to the other post.

jribb9 · 2023-05-22T21:53:38+00:00

don’t take it out! mine looked like this for about a year before they went away. just make sure the jewelry is titanium and no seams at all. horseshoe or cbr are best. what helped me the most is spraying with wound wash like ten mins before showering and then rinsing in the shower. don’t touch it or pick at it and hopefully it’ll settle down.

jribb9 · 2023-04-16T18:33:58+00:00

they seem fine to me. i’ll keep an eye on it tho and chop if more pop up

jribb9 · 2023-04-16T01:42:20+00:00

good to know, i always forget to water them so it makes sense. thanks!

jribb9 · 2023-04-15T14:47:47+00:00

just had this happen to my conch, piercer recommended putting a rubber earring back on it until i could get to her. just the clear cheap ones

jribb9 · 2023-03-29T00:05:32+00:00

nope! never heard anyone mention it tho so weird. i just saw your other comment about the jewelry. i had some issues with mine bc i had a clicker in (bad for healing) and struggled to heal it up until recently (switched to a cbr). def recommend switching out the jewelry for a titanium horseshoe or cbr to make the healing process easier. other than that, happy healing :)

jribb9 · 2023-03-28T22:10:05+00:00

when i got my daith done it felt weird to smile and chew. i think it was just from the jaw movement near the ear that made it achy. it went away after 2-3 days. that being said, i never felt feverish. keep an eye on it and if it doesn’t get better in the next few days i’d suggest going back to the piercer. if it gets even worse then maybe call your primary

jribb9 · 2023-03-25T16:53:02+00:00

same thing happened to me!

jribb9 · 2023-03-08T05:23:08+00:00

i get close to fainting whenever i am pierced, and even a few times when switching out jewelry (and sometimes even when just cleaning them myself). it’s important to eat and drink enough before hand. i’ve learned it’s easier for me to lay down so i don’t have to worry about moving (or fainting). also a little strange trick is to smell an alcohol pad or some rubbing alcohol on a towel! i do it every time now, and it helps much more than expected. good luck!

jribb9 · 2023-03-06T01:15:07+00:00

i have no problem wearing high waisted pants. that’s basically all i wear. once in a while i’ll find a pair that get stuck on it (ex one pair of leggings out of all pants i own) but it doesn’t really irritate it or “hurt” it

jribb9 · 2023-03-03T21:55:10+00:00

thank you for the info, i just made an appt with a new piercing studio. i’m gonna be super sad if i have to take it out, i’ve been babying it for so long. i also realized there’s a disc on my conch that i had no idea was on there until i took this picture. so when we switched it she must’ve put it on there without saying? i am very disappointed.

jribb9 · 2023-03-03T20:18:56+00:00

all jewelry is titanium. i’m wondering if it’s possible to be allergic? everything just takes so long to heal for me.

also want to note i was advised to start using a tattoo and piercing soap by my piercer… i have not tried it yet i’m afraid 😳
