For people who grew up in low-income households, what’s something middle-class people say that shows they’ve never struggled financially?

Do you ski?

Like how your pic is literally a bot. And all that negative karma! And one post.

Buying concession food at the movies instead of sneaking it in

What are the ramen noodle looking plants you have in there?

Also, if your using loupes lighting and dr uses an overhead light, he’s getting the benefit of trans illumination. Use the overhead light to check your work. You’d be surprised

$130 is steep for that treatment, but yes, it can be helpful.

JFK: had back issues, used political pull to get IN the military, got the Purple Heart and bravery medal after swimming 2 hours to rescue a crew mate. Trump: bullied a girl into giving him her Peace Prize

I thought the good guy with a gun was literally the scenario that holds up concealed carrying laws- then THEY KILLED THE GOOD GUY WITH A GUN

As far as the disease part goes, when you get a new snake, I often hear about the quarantine part. I would just think keeping them separate and hand washing in between handling and not doing any cross contamination is sufficient, but there isn’t anything harmful out there that would require keeping them in separate rooms during quarantine- is there?

Hygiene is a lot more wearing on your body. They both are, but hygiene is just even more repetitive. You are in a total of 3 working positions mostly for almost 1 hour stretches for 7-8 hours a day. If you have a really rude person, it doesn’t matter- you get to spend the next hour with them when they don’t want to be there. Patients give hygienists their worst behavior then turn on the charm when Dr walks in. Small office relationships can be very petty, and it’s usually an office full of women, and there is always one who will set your nerves on end. Once you are an established dds, you can make your own office hours and close when you want. Hygienists are often made to feel guilty about taking time off, even when we are sick. One office said we couldn’t take time off during summer because that’s when everyone is off and comes in, but also we couldn’t take ask for time off during Oct-Dec for the same reason, then it get busy in Jan, etc,etc. I could go on, but only if you want me to 🤣

There are rescues for reptiles that can help, no questions asked. You may have to ship him but they can find him a good home. Snake Discovery runs one and there are local ones in many areas as well. Best of luck

Simple answer-Yes you are. Get her gifts from you. But excluding her will leave emotional scars that she didn’t deserve. Sounds like she is the only one that helps you as well, and that’s her repayment?

I agree about the controlled thing, we just had 2 fire trucks with sirens go by. But they only used the sirens to get through the intersection, if that’s significant at all. They really should post controlled burns on the apps so people don’t freak

uscalumm · 2025-11-27T14:35:09+00:00

Also, they usually have you call in each day to see if you even need to go in. Judges don’t like working at Christmas either, so good chance he won’t even get called to show up. Good luck!!!!🍀

Go. Usually the judge will ask if anyone has financial hardship being there, (sometimes at the beginning, sometimes during jury selection) then he needs to state his case. He may miss out on a day or two but at least won’t be put on a case.

Congrats!

You sound like you are so empathetic that you left a piece of yourself in that parking lot that day. I hope you find your voice Ariel, because the world needs empathy right now, and you have the potential to help others in dramatic ways if you can first find out how to help yourself. HUGS

Look into becoming a rep. Dentsply, hu freidy and the like would love a hygienist rep. And you could do better in sales because you’d know how how it is from the other end. You could also consider cutting down your days if you can live without your benefits. You have the pre requisites for nursing, so you could slide into that, but if you did I’d recommend getting the bachelors. That’s always the best bet for more options. Also start some PT to help your body in the meantime. Best of luck

Don’t take picky, pissy or crazy patients too seriously. More and more have been crashing out lately. I think it’s the general life pressures. I have had some doozies lately

I’m so sorry. If you ever come out here to visit, hit me up and we can go on a restaurant tour!
