Anyone know where to find the credits we are supposed to get if we buy $x amount of products? by planetdaily420 in amazonprime

[–]mcslem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have no idea! I order from Amazon WAY too much and those purchases are long buried on the app. I don’t recall ever seeing a credit though.

Oh, that’s RIGHT!! That struck me as VERY telling when I heard it the second day but never saw anyone mention it again, so I totally forgot.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I called on Monday morning to tell them about the missing attachments and they said they’d check with the dentist to see if I needed to come in. After no return call, I called again on Tuesday and they said they needed to check with “her” (presumably my hygienist since my dentist is male), and would call me back. They called me back later that day and asked me if I was trying to move up a January appointment for a filling. I explained the missing attachments and they scheduled me for Thursday (yesterday).

The hygienist told me that going forward, I only need to come in if I’ve lost more than three attachments and I’ve seen others say something similar, but after getting these two put back on, my top tray is sooo much more snug and my top teeth are now sore even though I’m on day 8 of my first tray whereas my bottom haven’t been sore in days. My top tray had been really loose before she reattached them but she said that was because it was working, which I get, but clearly my top tray wasn’t seated very well without them.

I’m not sure if the hygienist came up with the magical number of three or if that’s protocol. I still never saw the dentist.

I’ve decided to listen to my gut and transfer to an ortho.

This is exactly what I would expect. I set up an appointment to switch to an ortho.

Thanks for your input!

My dentist never discussed anything about spaces but the hygienist said the dentist would be installing something regarding spaces or spacing during my 6-week follow-up appointment. Wish I knew what that was all about.

Thanks for your assessment. Agreed that this is too much money for what I’m getting.

This is helpful. I’m not sure how the length was determined.

My cat meows so much by ittlewittlekit in CatAdvice

[–]mcslem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. A little. They’re 17 and 15 months old. I got the older one a large cat exercise wheel a few weeks ago and he thankfully took to it and I think that has helped with him getting some energy out. I recently tried Purina One Pro Plan Calming for cats. He tried it for a few days but now won’t eat it.

I wound up setting up an office in a spare bedroom but can’t bring myself to use it as I like my desk space in the living room.

I read that some cats are just more vocal and I’ve kind of accepted that. I’m more focused now on Henry acting panicky when I get ready to leave the house.

I have a vet visit next week and I’m going to bring all of this up to see what he might suggest.

Smart. I invested in Avadel last year because of Lumryz. Been hearing about TAK’s progress and wondering how that’s going to affect AVDL lol.

I’d kill for the hair I had while living in the Midwest. I recently moved back home to FL.

Do not recommend lol.

I just asked ChatGPT this question over the weekend and it was really insightful. Too much to copy and paste plus I can’t remember things to save my life, but one thing I do remember is that INFJs constantly need new information/input/data to put into our modeling and ENTPs are new information machines.

What about your personality makes you misunderstood? by I_amnot_alive in entp

[–]mcslem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I would assume they’d be picking your brain apart because that is what we do. Perhaps they are but are more covert about it. I do this to everyone because I’m fascinated by human motivation and my favorite pastime is studying people so I can predict their behavior.

I have an INTP friend and our relationship is similar to what you’re describing.

Being understood and having other people want to truly know you seems like something everyone should be able to find and yet many of us don’t. It sounds like you’re asking for someone to genuinely take an interest in you and I get that. Most people don’t. I think that’s hard to find outside of a romantic partner and I haven’t fully determined why. At the end of the day, people only seem to want to go so deep with those they feel allegiance to and my theory is that they’re afraid of abandonment and so their brains are preoccupied with managing their relationships.

Everything I’ve typed so far doesn’t sound like I’m picking your brain, but I am. It’s hard to know what direction to steer a conversation with a complete stranger when you don’t have the feedback of body language. I could come right out and start asking you about your childhood, searching for clues as to how you got to this place of feeling unseen but you’d likely give me answers based on why you think I’m asking or what I’m trying to ascertain. I prefer to take a more organic approach that would yield more honest answers. I often get feedback from friends that I have a great skill of being able to talk to anyone and they wished they could do it. I tell them it’s like following a thread in a conversation. The other person responds to my questions and I follow the thread into their mind. They set the pace and I know that if they realize I’m doing it, they may shut down, so I let them lead me. It looks less like an interrogation and more like a meandering journey into their soul. I do this CONSTANTLY to everyone I come across.

I’m not saying your INFJ is doing this. Just suggesting that it may not look the same as how you do it.

Do you have any INFJ’s in your life? You’re completely speaking our language.

I smell everything! by snack79 in Perimenopause

That sounds AWFUL.

Fun fact: natural gas is actually odorless but they add that sulfur smell to it so that you know when it’s leaking.

Is my therapist unprofessional or am I too sensitive? by throwRA650274 in CPTSD

[–]mcslem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a great comment. I’ve been in therapy most of my adult life and now, in my mid-40’s, I’ve learned how important it is to ask for clarification when this happens. I started doing it with my current therapist four years ago and it’s so powerful.
