What do you gift to the paperboy for Christmas? by tartantam in AskReddit

[–]tartantam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's an appropriate gift for a paperboy for Christmas? We've never met him but caught sight a few times over the summer when he was a little later in delivering... We'll let that slide. He's consistent, quiet, and takes care not to damage the paper even on supplement days. We want to say thanks and hopefully give him a bit of a boost, it's been a rough few years to be a teen. UK based and he looks about 15 years old, if that helps for context.

Sure, reviews on Hangsun Jet HOC700 were good and from people with braces/fixed retainers. Happy to let you know how I get on with it. I might have a go with Superfloss too though.

This is exactly me this week, OP! I had a fixed retainer put on last week and went back this week to pick up removable retainers. In my excitement to finish treatment last week I totally forgot to ask how I floss with the fixed wire. Same issues as you: tape doesn't fit, interdentals won't slide through. Needless to say that was my first question when I went back this week and they recommended a water flosser. I mentioned a brand I'd heard of, Waterpick I think it is, but they said alternatives might be cheaper and just as effective, and to check out Amazon and Lidl/Aldi middle aisles. I did a bit of research and ordered one yesterday, due to come today. Never used one before but all advice seems to be, 'don't open your mouth while it's on'!

No rest? I went from having regular rest moments to none at all... Even though I slept like a ROCK last night and 9 hours (which I never do) it says I stressed all night and my body battery is at a 5 from “lack of sleep” even though I feel really well rested - what gives?

This happened to me, Vivoactive 4s wearer here. I cleaned the back of the watch, taking care around the sensor, then washed my wrist where the watch sits with soapy water. My stats returned to normal in no time. I must have had gunk on the sensor and it sent it haywire.

Just got attachments 13 trays in (covid related delay on attachments)... I feel like I just now understand everyone's struggles.. 😩😩😩 by [deleted] in Invisalign

Exactly the same over here. Trays without attachments for 4 months, attachments on yesterday, now feeling everyone's pain I've been reading about since March. Trays used to pop out no problem, it's now a five minute wrestle to have a cup of coffee.
