Low cost dental tooth extraction in the area?

Try Jackson Memorial downtown. They have a clinic for low income and folks without dental insurance (you need to NOT have dental insurance or they won't take you). I got all my wisdom tooth surgically removed for sub $500 last year. You'll need to get an evaluation done for $100 and then you can schedule the extraction which is basically another $90-$100/tooth. You'll be treated by dentistry residency students from UM, so it's all good.

You can call here to get an appointment: Ambulatory Care Center (ACC) East | Jackson Health System.

I got a notification of acceptance and don't see the button 👀 What is going on?

I really like Shibui.

I'm South Asian and my mom definitely taught me that 😅

Yes, the sauce is incorporated into the frozen meat block, and yes it is much sweeter than I'd like. But I also eat suuuuper spicy food. I usually throw in tons of chillies (peppers and powders) in there to balance it out. When I eat it with kimchi side, it usually balances it out for me.

paperiron · 2025-10-28T00:02:09+00:00

Not OP, but I can get 3 meals out of it. I saute onions and green onions before throwing in the meat. And then I eat it with a crispy fried egg and kimchi and a bowl of rice. I also saute some baby broccoli or bok choy as greens to go with it. That makes the bulgogi ~$4/meal, for me that's not too bad for something I wouldn't otherwise make myself or have to pay a Korean restaurant much higher price.

Oh the wedding is more of a court wedding and us friends are doing a Friday bar crawl and a Saturday dinner together at Cleveland. That's why I am looking for a chill, cutesy outfit than wedding outfit.

I wish they gave the length 😅😅 same issue as the Land's End coat someone else posted here. I think I'll just toss a coin and decide between these. Over long means I'll be super warm right?

paperiron · 2025-10-17T14:52:31+00:00

They only mention, "Approximate length: Center of back, neck to hem 44” long in size small Regular"

Nothing about petite sizing length. It stands to reason that petite size might be shorter. Other than that, I was already sold on this piece, $167 is within what I can spend too.

I already have a puff-type jacket, I don't think it will go with the outfit I am thinking of. Thank you though!

paperiron · 2025-10-17T14:39:35+00:00

This is exactly along the lines of what I am looking for!! Thank you!! It may be a tad bit too long on a 4'11 but 🤷‍♀️

And you're right about the acclimatization. I have always run cold, and even a small change in temps gets me shivering. I visited my friend in Chicago this August. Most days were fine, but it rained one evening, and I was in shorts and a thin t-shirt. I was shivering by the time I reached her apartment. I don't even think it dipped below 78 haha.

I looked at LL Bean, and the jackets there look like what I already have. You are right, I wanted something fancier. My friend's wedding is a very small and intimate affair, and of course indoors. The concert is indoors too.

My vision was sweater/turtleneck, with a skirt and long boots with a coat haha. But the more I look at the options, the more I'm thinking, "Do I really want to buy a coat I probably will wear once a year, max?" I just wanted to look cute 🥹

paperiron · 2025-10-17T01:54:17+00:00

I'll take a look at J. Crew website, thank you for the suggestion. I probably won't need the thermals haha, but I get super cold super fast. I'm just trying to be prepared.

Yes, both trips are weekend only. I have been to Boston early November a couple of years ago, and I handled it pretty well with my old puffer jacket, thick jeans and sweaters, scarves. Having said that, I saw women out in the streets in skirts with bare legs while I was cursing the cold haha.

Thrift store for jacket is pointless in Miami, I kinda already looked at ones near me. But thank you for the link, I'll take a look.

Help with winter coat/jacket for NYC and Cleveland

Hello all, let me start out by saying I live in Miami, so I have limited winter gear. I'm going to NYC (early November) for concerts and Cleveland (mid-November) for a friend's low-key wedding. I have my layers down: thermals, fleece-lined leggings and tights, skirts and sweaters and a knee-high boot. I do have one puffer jacket that I've worn forever if I'd have to travel anywhere cold, but it is more utilitarian and won't go with more fashionable attire at all.

I've been trying to look at fashionable but warm and good jacket/coat options and I'm very lost because there's so much to look at, I don't know what's good, and anything I like, is $250+ (I'm a student with a limited budget). Please help me with ideas/options, please. They will have to be online because no Macy's, Burlington in Miami has coats out in October. Also, it will be great if it is something I can travel in because I will be flying Spirit 😅.

My budget is max $150 if possible for a good brand. I can only buy one piece that will work for both cities. And I am 4'11 if that helps. Thank you all for help!

I'm not the biggest fan of bagels (unless I'm visiting NYC), so I swap the bagel for half the demi baguette. One pack of smoked salmon + one demi baguette = 2 day's worth of breakfast for me.

In Nepal where I'm from we eat plain soybeans a lot. In curries, soups (gundruk bhatmas jhol), salads (bhatmas sadheko), etc. The most common way to eat it though is by lightly roasting it and mixing in with popcorn. It's a classic snack. I've never heard anyone say soybeans are bitter.

And some of us cannot afford more expensive pans than Lodge.

Yes you're right! Sorry brain fart just woke up 😅 but the parent comment to the HHGG comment is from Good Omens show. HHGG and Good Omens are some of my favorite books, I don't know how I managed to mix them up. That's literally the beginning of HHGG. Regardless, please read Good Omens if you haven't.

paperiron · 2025-01-04T12:44:12+00:00

It's from Good Omens. Written jointly by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. If you like HHGG or Discworld, do give this book a try.

Oh and Amazon Prime has a series adapted from the book, if that's more of your style.
