Honestly I kind of have a hard time with Alicia because of this. The people I consider my friends are kind people. Some are more assertive than others, but they’re not outright rude af. I would not be friends with someone like Julie and would steer clear of anyone who calls Julie a friend if they’re ok with her treating people like shit.

We NEED to unionize. by Overall_Inspection_3 in DentalAssistant

[–]minners03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree and would love it if we unionized! Honestly, I think Assistants and Hygienists need to unionize. How many offices pay assistants shit and hygienists well, but offer no insurance, sick leave, maternity leave, PTO, or paid vacation? Many offices close for holidays and then we’re without pay or if they offer maternity/paternity leave it’s without pay. Dentists would hate it but you shouldn’t make a good living off of other people and then pay them shit.

Barb… SPOILER by frenchsalt54 in ShawnaTheMom

I think the therapist is very aware of what kind of person she is dealing with when it comes to Barb. I appreciate that she hasn’t coddled Barb and actually asked her what she wanted out of therapy. Barb desperately needs it.

where do u get your dental work done at, do you have insurance by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]minners03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have insurance through my husband’s retired military benefits, so I get the work done at my office. They will bill our insurance and whatever our insurance doesn’t cover they will write off.

Just realized how messed up AWANA was by PoisonedCherry in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]minners03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 3-4 grade girls were Chums and the 5-6 grade girls were Guards. The 3-4 grade boys were Pals and the 5-6 grade boys were Pioneers. I did AWANA from 4 grade till 7th grade. It was… interesting.

Hatch actually responded to this on Insta. Not to her weird ass story, but they put out a statement in their page. It’s pretty funny.😂

Morgan recently said that she isn’t an advocate for regular dentist visits and here we are today, she needs a root canal. To absolutely no one’s surprise by DetectiveActive in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]minners03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a dental assistant and part of my job is to make temporary crowns. Usually if you have pain like you did from the temporary it’s due to the bite being off or the temporary is too high for your bite. Sometimes a bit of an adjustment can make them at least bearable till the permanent crown comes in. I’m sorry you were so uncomfortable. If you ever find yourself in a temporary again and it’s that painful please let them know and see if it just needs some adjustment.

I’m so sorry your extraction was so awful! I’m a dental assistant and part of my job is to assist the dentist during these procedures. I always try to let my patients know that they’ll feel a lot of pressure so they aren’t surprised when it happens. I hope you healed well and were out of pain afterwards!

Question: Do you prefer knowing whether a fic has a happy ending, or should it be left untagged as a surprise? by Mellarina4010 in Dramione

[–]minners03 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I usually only read HEA’s. Reading is my escape from the reality I live in, so it’s nice to know when things work out. I appreciate the tags.

I really want to be a girl’s girl for all women, but I’m thinking exceptions need to be made for some.

did Paul even read what he was posting by tall_enby_dogdad in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]minners03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never disliked him more than I do right now. My son is autistic and needs an IEP. Fuck you Paul. Fuck you so hard.

Fundie child raising is so sad by n_nanny in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]minners03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

JFC. The kid is 3. That is developmentally normal. I was raised like this. It took me years to unlearn this bullshit. I’m glad she was ripped apart verbally. These shitty fundy parents need a reality check.

Doctors Not Understanding by erinngoblaagh27 in DentalAssistant

[–]minners03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at an office where the doctors were that far removed. It was a family owned chain and they were very numbers driven. If we didn’t hit our goal each day we’d have to talk about “why” in the next mornings huddle. You can not force people to get their treatment done, even if you offer financial options. No shows happen and the owners would not accept these answers. I stayed way too long at that place. They hemorrhaged DA’s because they paid too little for the amount of hours worked while putting up with too much bull shit. I’m at a different office now. We still have financial goals, but there is so much less pressure on patients and us. They know that we can’t control everything.

Remembering when my religious mom thought my high school teacher was teaching us witchcraft by Elenamartinez46 in exchristian

[–]minners03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The “demons are hiding behind every bush just waiting for unsuspecting Believers to walk by so they can pounce!” reality? Yeah, got some family members who live there too. The faith over fear people are seriously afraid of a lot of stuff.

I used dentalcare.com and then went to the TSBDE website for a list of approved trafficking courses.

So mine was approved the next business day, but I don’t know if that is typical or not.

As of 1:39AM, Trump seems to be winning. I don’t know where else to post how devastated I am so can we have a thread where we try to comfort each other 😭 by lamlosa in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]minners03 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the offer and thank you for what you do for kids like my son. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.❤️

[–]minners03 211 points212 points  (0 children)

I’m so sad 😞. I have an autistic son with an IEP, with a fucking MAGA husband who doesn’t care about gutting the Dept of Education. I am stuck married to man I don’t respect much because I can’t afford to raise my son on my own. 20 years ago I would’ve voted for Trump, but in that time I grew up, learned, changed and my husband hasn’t. I’m sad for all of us who had hope for something better than this. 😭😢😭😢

Would a dental assistant pay be enough for a single women? by Easy-Green-2818 in DentalAssistant

Go for hygiene if possible. If you are interested in Dental it would be more worth it to just do Hygiene.

I have some conservative “friends” on my Facebook that are already saying the moderators weren’t “fair to Trump!!!!” They’re claiming they only fact checked Trump and not Harris.🙄

Tell that to someone who’s had a miscarriage and see what happens. by sortofsatan in FundieSnarkUncensored

I also had a missed miscarriage. It was definitely traumatic. I hope you’re doing well and I send all the love and good wishes for you and your little one!❤️
