ORTHODONTICAL non-broken-penis UPDATE I had a check-in appointment and a regular cleaning appointment mushed together yesterday. I made a comment about not being sure I really needed the cleaning appointment having been in every month and a half since August and the brushing/flossing 3+ times a day. She explained why the cleaning is still important and that she would be doing it herself because they are down dental hygienists "because nO oNe WaNtS tO wOrK aNyMoRe" and I'm like thinking a little "that's kinda TMI but also eww." Then when everything was done and I was practically in my coat and out the door she was like "oh wait sit back down I still have to grind a gap in between two bottom teeth" and then after the surprise grinding she almost sent me away with retainer sets 12-15 instead of 9-12 but fortunately ol' eagle eyes Malone over here was paying attention. ok that was my orthodontical update

I think you're mistaken, that's the purpose of Thanksgiving Eve Eve eve, not Thanksgiving Eve eve. You're a day behind.

a real shame, what with the hammer and the waffle iron and the whole shot was ruined

tell me about your bad times, and how many of scoob's rubber bands you ate

You should think @molarbear's broken penis is a very tragic and serious concern.

Yeah, molarbear's broken penis situation is pretty bad.

I think our new collective mission should be to help @molarbear fix his broken penis

yo, we're supposed to be bonding over braces

this post brought to you in part by: procrastinating dinner for four hours because I am warded off by the extra steps to clean the retainer first and then my mouth after

so I'm probably between 3-4 months into a stint with invisalign retainers. never had braces as a kid because my teeth weren't that bad, but 25 extra years of the bottom teeth being crowded messed everything up and my teeth were grinding themselves down and my bite was out of alignment. sooooooooooo enter the amazing world of adult orthodontics. fancy 3D-printed retainers, move onto a tighter set every 12 days. every four retainers, gotta go in for a check-up and the dentist has to do 'reductions' on my bottom teeth (literally grinding the sides ughs) to make room while they shift around. one of the selling points is you can eat or drink anything as long as you take them out first, but really you need to brush and floss before you put them back in so nothing is trapped in there to fester. i haven't had an enamel-dissolving soda since august, which is probably for the better, and I can't really snack (or it's not really worth the cleaning effort at least). I have flossed more in the past 100 days than the rest of my life combined. as much as you eventually get used to the plastic retainers in your mouth, you'll suddenly have moments of hyper awareness over it. when mealtimes sneak up, my mouth will literally start rejecting them sometimes like how i imagine the sensation of a body rejecting a prosthetic. but eventually I'll supposedly have wonderful teeth, paid for by the COVID-19 student loan freeze. anyways, who wants to share and bond over orthodontics stories, the greatest thing to bond over?

unfortunately the laws of autocorrect prohibit you from pooping, ever again

yo i just had a conversation with someone who had never heard of the Y2K bug

I have a bookcase similar in proportion to that sitting in the garage, but it's been in there so long that every time I think over bringing it in and using it I'm like 'ughhhh i can't bother cleaning/restoring it, i'll worry about it later'

I was big in the aim era, but I skipped the tinychat era.
