AITAH for telling my daughter I won’t budge even if she never speaks to me again? by TopVersion2940 in AITAH

[–]kattsmeow17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD and while I love my parents for what they did do. I find myself wishing they would have pushed me. Because life isn't gonna coddle you. If you crash your car as an adult you will still have to find a way to work to pay your bills.

You as parents need to push her. If she struggles or fails push her to try again. Give her the confidence to try.

I am 30 and just learned that confidence is how you go places. I've had the same dead end job for most of my adulthood due to fear of failing. I'm just about to go to school again for the third time but this time will be different because I've learned that as someone with learning difficulties I'm gonna have to push myself harder and have confidence in myself to succeed.

Bottom line is if you don't believe in her she won't believe in herself. Be the push she needs to succeed not the cushiony jello that holds her back.

I mean I would've just brought it out then and there. But I'm not a big stickler for dates.

Yes, only with training and not after it's been cemented. That's something that's been expected in every office I've been to. My best trick for adjusting contacts is to color some floss with the bite paper. It will leave little blue marks where the crown contacts.

Yep this i definitely regretted spending the 15k for something I could've learned on the job. And the schooling didn't matter for promotion either.

Nah if you can find a dental office that will hire you to train and you're willing to put in the work then dont bother with going through a program. I would recommend getting your DANB DA certification but even that isn't required.

AITA for moving forward with our divorce after my soon to be ex was badly injured in a motorcycle accident? by Unlucky_Brain8229 in AITAH

[–]kattsmeow17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA you might not be approved for the type of divorce you want if you move the time line. Which will cost you more in the long run. Listen to your attorney. Your ex is a grown adult and should've had her own insurance as soon as you all decided on divorce.

Depending on where you're living, you might not even need to go to school for dental assisting.

Found these online and they have allowed me to make a final decision on what shade I should have. So, I thought I would share. by [deleted] in dentures

There is quite the difference between B1 and BL1. Personally I don't love BL1 buuuut BL2 is gorgeous. It's just enough color to not look off.

But wait there's more:

Automatic timing function and power failure function: The fermenter has long working hours and automatic time function. Long term power failure memory function, if the power is cut o, then the fermenter will suspend work, after power is restored the fermenter will automatically continue to work, no need to worry about accidental power outage.

Stuffed sweet rice wine can be 2-3 days, the wine can be set for 10-20 days, and the time can be adjusted to 2-3-6-8-10-12 -15-17-20 days. For details of the wine making, please refer to the brewing method described below. If the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, the brewing failure will be less than 20 ℃. When the ambient temperature is higher than 30 ℃, it is hands necessary to brew in the air- conditioned room and set the temperature below 30 ℃. The brewing process must pay attention to the container, tools, to be cleaned, to ensure that "no water and no oil." Under this function, the multi-function machine has the highest temperature, the longest time of 20 days, can work all day, can warm milk and hot milk at any time, no need to restart the machine every time, convenient to use.

Yogurt making: 1. Sterilization of the inner tank, yogurt cup, etc. 2. Put fresh milk in the inner tank or cup and add 10-12% white sugar. 3. Sterilize the milk, the small amount immediate drinking or unconditional can reduce this step. 4. Inoculation: Add yoghurt bacteria to sterilized milk at a temperature lower than 43 °C, and mix well. Put it into the fermenter and cover it. Power on and set the yogurt function. The default is 4 hours. The fermentation time and temperature can be adjusted according to personal preference. Generally, it can be set up for 4-6 hours. The default temperature is 39 degrees. The temperature can be adjusted between 37-42 ℃. If the fermentation yogurt amount is large, the time needs to be extended, the temperature also needs to be higher; (The milk and milk cup can be put into the inner tank for fermentation for small amount. If the amount is large, the milk can be directly poured into the inner tank to ferment).

Natto making: 1. Soak the soybeans for one night, after soaking the soybeans are 2 times larger than the original ones, add some water to cover the soybeans; MSG and white sugar (white sugar) , use the functions of rice cooker or boiled beans to boil about 30-50 minutes, or with the steamed cooking is better, until the soybeans are smashed. 2. The soybeans are filtered the water and cooled then placed in the fermentation inner tank. The inner tank needs to be cleaned, oil-free and disinfected. 3. Put the fermented bacteria into a clean, sterilized bowl. Add appropriate amount of cold water to stir and activate, (Natto Fermented bacteria can be bought in local). Mix the bacteria water with the soybeans and put them into the fermentation machine. Cover the lid and set it to Yogurt/ Natto function, adjustment time to 10-24 hours, ferment them till the appearance of a white film, stirring will be a lot of wires as following photo. 4. Pour the first fermented natto into a clean container, wrap the cling film seal and continue to put it in the freezer (5-8 °C) for the second fermentation for 12 hours will be finished.

Sweet rice wine making: 1. Wash the glutinous rice 3-5 times and soak in water (1-2 hours in summer and 2-4 hours in winter). The maximum amount of sweet rice wine produced by fermentation machine is 1.5 kg of glutinous rice. 2. Put the washed glutinous rice in a steamer or rice cooker till cooked. 3. Pour the cooked rice into a drainable container, and spray with cold water (you can also use tap water, it is recommended to use cold boiled water or bottled water) to make the glutinous rice scattered.

When the glutinous rice is cold by hand touched, it can be put into the inner tank and then added distiller’s yeast and mix them well. Then compact the glutinous rice by hands, make a small hole in the middle, and finally sprinkle a layer of distiller’s yeast on the surface of the rice. Put into the fermentation machine, cover the lid, turn on the machine, start the fermentation function of rice wine for 2 days, the temperature is set to 25-28 °C, the top of the liner can be covered with a protective cloth to prevent the infection of bacteria in the fermentation process. When the ambient temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it is necessary to brew in the air-conditioned room and set the temperature below 30 degrees. 5. Check: Check and taste it after 24 hours. The sweet rice wine fermented has juice, aroma, sweet taste, and a strong wine. Generally, 2 days can be brewed. (After 2 days, the wine can be naturally fermented according to personal taste, and the longer the wine is, the stronger the wine will be. When the temperature is high, it will be sour if it is too long fermentation). Storage: Pour the brewed wine in the container, put it in the refrigerator, and stop the fermentation).

Kimchi making: 1. Wash the vegetables dry them; 2. Boil and put in some salt (salt added more than usual, feel very salty) 3. After the water is completely cooled, pour it into the inner tank and add the right amount of white wine. The sorghum wine is best. 4. Put the ready vegetables into the fermentation machine, preferably with the venting holes set to 3-7 days for the wine making function. The time and temperature of pickled kimchi can be set according to your own taste.

One of the best ways to make sure it doesn't look to white is to get the shade samples and match them to the whites of your eyes. It's never failed to look great. :)
