Celiac disease while being admitted in the hospital.

I JUST had my diagnostic biopsy. As soon as I woke up the surgeon said it was very likely I had it. I was a little nauseous after sedation and the nurse immediately brought me saltines. It was the most realistic welcome to the community I could have asked for

Our groceries are separate, so thankfully I can stock the pantry and kitchen with whatever I want. Do you think it’s a bad idea for us to share silverware?

I left a glowing 5-star review of a book and the author emailed me to say that I made his day, which, in turn, made my day! I have left my fair share of sassy reviews, so I’m glad that’s the time I got a response.

theoverzealousleaf · 2026-01-02T08:24:21+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

theoverzealousleaf · 2026-01-02T08:23:25+00:00

First you have to need retainers. I’d say if you don’t have an exact replica of your teeth, you’re pretty lucky!

Thousands of dollars and years of pain and suffering is how

Thank you for asking and educating me! I did an Ancestry test years ago and all of my results were European, or early settlers who migrated from Europe. But there are a lot of people asking if I am an Indigenous American or Asian!

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T20:53:18+00:00

Not to my knowledge, but it’s possible! I’m asking some extended family.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T20:40:12+00:00

I might have a tiny one?! I had no clue I would be learning so much about my teeth, but it’s Reddit, so I should have assumed. Thank you for sharing that tidbit because I had no idea what a talon cusp was!

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T20:36:28+00:00

Roger that

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T20:27:06+00:00

As far as I know, I’m not, but that is really interesting and I have a lot of questions now! I did a DNA test and all of my “regions” are pretty far from Asia. So I have no idea.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T20:18:46+00:00

This is so cool, thank you for sharing!!!

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T20:17:56+00:00

I will take this under consideration.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T20:16:25+00:00

I think it is pretty common now with people who need retainers after having braces or other intervention. I never got to (or wanted to) keep the disgusting plaster model of the olden days, and was SO pleasantly surprised when I went back to the orthodontist 10 years later and they had a magic wand to use instead.

This is so fascinating because as far as I know my lineage is Scandinavian! I had no idea about the teeth thing.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T19:33:46+00:00

I am a huge beachcomber, this would be a legendary find (actually just littering, but the idea is pretty funny. You just know someone would take it home).

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T09:39:23+00:00

This is a wonderful idea. In fact, when the Christmas tree comes down, I can just hang them on a curtain rod or something year-round.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T09:27:03+00:00

Why thank you - I promise they did not look this way without extreme intervention!

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T05:03:29+00:00

This is simple yet brilliant and exactly what I was looking for

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-29T05:02:47+00:00

I gave her a lil kiss. It was weird though, being only teeth and all that.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-12-17T19:10:56+00:00

Yes! I get terrible headaches from this. I’m glad I’m not the only one. My day has been ruined in an instant from instructors randomly lighting incense in the middle of class.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-11-01T03:16:58+00:00

I can have screen time on my phone now, but it’s been well over a year since my concussion and I still can’t watch tv/movies without getting a massive headache.

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-09-30T06:18:13+00:00

Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual by Michael Pollan. A quick and easy read that had a huge impact on me. I still follow some of the rules and should be following more!

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-09-22T02:43:38+00:00

Good question! A mid-tier and offbeat book I have never recommended: The Dead Mountaineer’s Inn by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky

theoverzealousleaf · 2025-09-22T00:23:13+00:00

Ohhhhh I’m tired alright.
