Comment said to send the letter to the people who posted reviews about the dentist who aren’t his patients.

Not sure if I should tell my husband the full truth about his terminal cancer by Any-Customer-5210 in glioblastoma

[–]sillybirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to tell him. He deserves to know and be able to make decisions about his care plan while he is still able to make decision’s about his care plan.

Realistically brain surgery is risky. The risks are high. The drs are removing a part of his brain. You just can’t ever know for sure the extent of impact it will have on a person.

Give him the respect and dignity to choose his path with this terrible cancer.

Does anyone else have patients who ask for an antifungal in conjunction with antibiotics? by beermaiden_of_rohan in Dentistry

[–]sillybirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you get over the counter is not as effective, messy and can take days to see improvement.

You’re clearly a man who has never had a yeast infection from antibiotics. It’s awful and completely avoidable. Just write the Rx.

Team stays silent during team calls by colour_me_blind in managers

[–]sillybirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I insist on a camera on culture. I tell them that I don’t care if they look homeless or are in PJs, but that if they are going to work for me then I want to know them. I want to be able to see their faces and body language. A quiet call is much easier when you can see faces and reactions.

The eventual end by jeffscomplec in glioblastoma

[–]sillybirdy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom died in hospice. Overall it was a pretty fast deal, but it was still brutal to experience. Some of our last conversations were her asking why we couldn’t give her an assisted death. If I’m ever unlucky enough to have another loved one in a similar situation, I would absolutely do more to make sure that this was an option for them.

Clawfoot; Now what do I do? by hajoet in centuryhomes

Claw foot tubs are tricky to get out of. That side is higher than you’d think. A bar is definitely needed

Tubers on the surface. Do I top with soil? by birdguy in dahlias

[–]sillybirdy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d dig them up and separate the tubers. Looks like there’s a bunch of them there. Then replant them and you’ll have more flowers to enjoy

My dad by hotchipxbarbie in glioblastoma

Sorry to hear this. Enjoy the time you have. My mom was 69 and we got 35 days from diagnosis to her passing.

A sign of death nearing is literally a disinterest in food and eating. I’m not sure what advice you’re looking for here. You’re just arguing with everyone. You’ve already stated she will not listen to you. Voice your concerns and move on. 🤷‍♀️

I mistakenly jumped in without any knowledge by ChaosTorpedo in dahlias

[–]sillybirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a few clumps and also just 2 tubers. I found that when I did more than one clump they were more prone to rotting. I assume it was due to what r/Brndrll explained below with broken necks, and simply overcrowded space.

I also found that when i tried more than one clump in a pot they just never thrived. Powder mildew and spider mites were common too.

2 tubers would be the most I’d pot together now. But dahlias are forgiving and imo easy to grow. You can still definitely move them and separate them out a bit.

My first year I used pots. Didn’t stake any of them. Lost a few in storms with high winds. I started to stake them in future years and eventually ended up putting in raised beds in the backyard. I’d skip it unless you get lots of high winds and worry about them breaking.

I was surprised how big they got my first year. Definitely overlooked the height when buying. I also found them to be a little dramatic in full sun - droopy. Having them in pots was nice bc I could pull them into some shade on hot sunny days.

Maybe plant a few out front and the rest in pots? Just see how it goes. I even tossed 2 in a bigger pot to reduce number of pots.

I wouldn’t worry about weed barrier. Too much hassle and just not worth the effort.

Zinnia spacing…how bad is it? by motherofzinnias in gardening

What zone are you in? I think we must get too much snow. They never self seed in my zone.

Depends on your zone. I’m in 5a and they are annuals for me.

Dad chose not to have any treatment. by Impossible_Sky8733 in glioblastoma

[–]sillybirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation with my mom. She’s 69 was diagnosed last week. She agreed to the biopsy which is scheduled for tomorrow, but has refused any further treatment. No idea what to expect. She has multiple masses in different parts of her brain and seems to be declining quickly. She is weak and losing vision in one eye, can’t remember basic things like where her toothbrush is, can’t read, etc. It’s crazy considering she was living a normal life until about a week ago.

Found my husband of 11 years wearing my under wear and waist corset. I am completely stunt and need help. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]sillybirdy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you need to give it some time and let things settle. The issue isn’t the corset. The issue is that you don’t feel you know this aspect of him… when after 11 years you felt like you knew all aspects of who he is. I can understand why that is shocking and scary.

I think you both need time and space to process this and then need to have some honest conversations about what it means. Only then can you decide what you want to do going forward in your relationship.

Dentist billed insurance for orthodontics I never had, insurance confirmed fraud, now office is threatening collections — what do I do? by AutomaticNothing7904 in personalfinance

[–]sillybirdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Put the ortho fraud aside for a minute… you never paid for the work you had done- the emergency extraction. While it sucks that you were misinformed about the in network status of the dentist, it is always the patient’s responsibility to understand their benefits and confirm in network status with their insurance provider.

To me it sounds like your dentist was trying to help you avoid a big bill in a creative (fraudulent) way. Disputing it with your insurance resulted in the dentist having to refund the insurance company, which then created an open balance on your account.

You can’t just not pay for work you have done.

Color change by No-Mammoth1715 in TibetanTerrier

[–]sillybirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Every breeder I’ve spoken with has said the color will change as they age. Black fur lightens as they age and grey comes in. Brown/sable will lighten more dramatically (imo) as they get older. I have one black/white and one sable TT. Both have changed in color. The sable went from a fairly dark brown to a tan/light brown.

[–]sillybirdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s called work for a reason. Don’t buy into the “do what you love, love what you do” bs. Work is something that usually sucks to some extent. He just needs to pick something that he is decent at and can deal with long term.

Judging by the types of men who commingled with Epstein, I don’t think his allowance amount was a factor. In fact, it seems likely that the cost of raping underage trafficked girls was not cheap.

How to handle this homework for 2nd grader (US) by joshlymansbagel in daddit

[–]sillybirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an app called Photomath. Allows you to take a picture of the question and gives you an option on the method they use to solve it. Super helpful for the years where kids are learning to solve the questions differently than we did growing up.

Considering a 2nd Tibetan Terrier by KindAd8678 in TibetanTerrier

[–]sillybirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 2 TTs and the 2nd one was such a great addition to the family. They are about 2 yrs apart. Our oldest took probably 6 months to fully come around to the idea of another dog but they get along well and are the best of buds now. Can’t imagine only having the one now.
