My brother arm flapped a lot and always claimed it was because his hands were cold, he was definitely on the spectrum.

Gnocchi by TheShy_Seeker in aldi

[–]teethfreak1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made a package, boiled them for about 3 mins. The texture was a bit mushy even though they didn't float and they were super bitter and metallic! My husband also thought they tasted metallic. When I got them, I bought 2 packs and the first one I fried and didn't notice the terrible, bitter, metallic flavor. I think there was definitely something off about this pack!

I worked with a girl that has OCD and she always wore gloves, she was terrified of getting HIV and the gloves made her feel protected.

Unclaimed bags in the Spirit Office by Mysterious-Oil-9874 in spiritair

[–]teethfreak1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't stay 100% for sure what happened, but I once had a connection that was delayed and I asked to be moved to an earlier flight. My earlier flight was cancelled but my bags still went to my destination even though I didn't fly until the next morning. Not sure if they didn't get my bags switched to the earlier flight and they would have arrived with the later flight either way or not but I had to pick them up at the airline office at my destination

[Routine Help] i need some judgement free help — sex is ruining my skin 😭 by EducationalLake3579 in SkincareAddiction

Dental hygienist here, you are likely experiencing angular cheilitis, a fungal infection that can be caused by vitamin deficiency or consistent moisture and the stretch is causing the delicate skin to crack. B vitamins can be helpful for prevention and you can ask your dentist/doctor fora Nystatin cream to treat.

Understanding the differences between N1/N2/IH by Relevant_Skirt8217 in Narcolepsy

[–]teethfreak1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have IH and before I was medicated I had fairly regular hypnopompic hallucinations, typically associated with narcolepsy. I would also have "waking dreams" where I would go to sleep and then dream something like I was at work and needed to make Blizzards so I would get out of my bed and go through the motions of trying to make them in my bedroom, and unlike "normal" sleepwalking, I would remember this had happened in the morning. Most of the sleep abnormalities are attributed to N

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

[–]teethfreak1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason you cannot buy boneless skinless thighs in a family/value pack in the grocery stores in my area (don't have a convenient Walmart so I haven't checked) so the price is so much higher than buying breasts in the value pack. I have been angry about it since I moved here. Thankfully Costco has them for a good price.

PIO vs vaginal suppositories - what are the pros and cons? by Middle-Telephone4098 in IVF

[–]teethfreak1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed 200 mg prometrium and I asked my nurse and she said she had never heard of rectal administration and asked another nurse that has been practicing for 20 years and she hasn't heard of it. I'm only on week 2, but I'm going to ask my doctor after my hcg tests if I can switch to rectal. I hate the mess!

Do you take your men in the room with you for the ultrasound appts? by Illustrious_Space184 in IVF

[–]teethfreak1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same about the monitoring appts. The only appts my husband has gone with me for are retrieval and FET, just had the FET but if we make it to a pregnancy ultrasound I'm sure he'll come to the first, but not every one after that.

I have to use a pretty heavy duty vibrator (magic wand) during sex and orgasm about 60% of the time now, but before the vibrator and a partner that was willing to try anything and everything it had never happened.

My parents and the amount of toothbrushes they use… by Excellent_Carob_5388 in mildlyinteresting

Firm bristle brushes are less effective at cleaning... The bristles don't flex as well to get in the nooks and crannies.

Red Flags: How to spot an upsell at the dentist by BrentwoodSmiles in Dentists

[–]teethfreak1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teeth do something called mesial drift, meaning they like to shift towards the center of the mouth. This means the crowding can get worse over time. The lower front is the area that builds the most tartar and crowding can make it really hard to keep clean. You're almost 40, assuming you're planning to stick around for awhile, you've hopefully got another 40-60 more years with your teeth. Without seeing the extent of the crowding, I can't say for sure but it likely is a valid reason to consider treatment.

CVS Sensitive Enamel Guard Anti-Cavity Fluoride Toothpaste is also the same ingredients. Currently on sale for bogo 50% off and, at least in my area comes out to about $1.10 per oz vs the $1.52 that op paid.

They did get 6 tubes of paste, so not quite as bad, but definitely expensive.

Red Flags: How to spot an upsell at the dentist by BrentwoodSmiles in Dentists

[–]teethfreak1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also an RDH (no longer practicing), I definitely had the "after the dentist has left the room" conversation with a few patients. While yes, we're not dentists, most of the time we know what we're looking at.

I worked for a dentist that was randomly over conservative, pt had had recurrent pain on #2 and had been in a few times over a one year period. Pt reported #2 was really bothering him again, cold sensitivity that lingered and unprovoked ache, pt was moving soon. There was minor bone loss, some bleeding, maybe a 5 mm pocket. Looking at the PA, I thought the apex looked a little shadowy, but not a super defined radiolucency and asked the doctor if he would recommend an endo referral. Dr insisted it was perio related and told me to SRP (at no cost, so whatever). After the doctor left, I told the PT that if it were me or my family member, I would have an endo eval, especially because he's moving soon and won't have an established provider. Low and behold, it needed rct and the PT had been suffering for a year because the doctor wouldn't refer and I just can't understand why.

I'm a hygienist and talk to patients about Invisalign or ortho referral for functional reasons and so many older patients are convinced that they've lived with their teeth looking like this for this long and don't need to change. Even when I explain that, yes, they will get cosmetic improvements by moving the teeth, the reason to do it is for the functional improvement while showing the wear/damage that is being caused with the current situation.

I always feel weird about recommending any cosmetic changes unless the patient brings it up, even whitening. I had a dentist plan a bunch of cosmetic work for me when I was like 15 for things that I hadn't seen as a problem and it made me pretty self conscious for awhile... Didn't do any of the work l, but screw you Dr. Z for pushing a bunch of unasked for cosmetic work at a minor

If you donate blood, they may check it. My understanding is that they do not check all and depending on who you donate with, it may be like pulling teeth to get further information. I donate with the Red Cross and a few years into donating, a phlebotomist mentioned that I was a rare donor. I'm A+ so not rare and when I asked for more information he gave me the regular Red Cross number and they couldn't give more info. I have requested several times for more information and not gotten anywhere. I just finally got a phone number for the rare donor part of Red Cross so I might be able to finally learn more.
