so the place we're moving to in Utah is now saying we owe the full first month's rent, when the documents we signed say, very clearly, first month free. So I get to call them tomorrow and karen out because um, nope, you don't get to do that! Their website also says our deposit hasn't been paid, which it has! So this is great! love to have to deal with this right now!!! AWesome!!!! so cool that people can just not do their jobs and gently caress around with my money and my housing and it's fine but if I make any kind of mistake it's fee after fee after fee. Very cool!!! It's ok, just gently caress around, don't do your job. not like it's anything important, and not like it's happening during a pandemic or something like that. it's fine!

get their rear end

you have a record somewhere of paying the deposit I hope?

All I ask is that people understand that being alone for 7 consecutive months, having literally zero face to face interactions of any kind, takes a toll.

It's not a competition anyway... I'm trying everything I can to keep other people safe by doing absolutely the minimum amount of everything I can. Nobody who works in a store or restaurant has seen me there I promise you that.

Yeah, I'm wondering if it's going to have any lasting effects. I'm the only chemist at our company, meaning I don't really have a team, so I'll often go the whole week without speaking at all. It's privileged, but massively strange at the same time.

In a weird way, it's nice that my parents have been dead for a while now, cause I don't have to worry about disappointing anyone over not celebrating the holidays! Hooray

Medicaid covers $1000 a year for dental work for adults. It's possible to find dentists who charge fees on a sliding scale too, so anything medicaid doesn't cover will still be reduced cost.

I don't know what it's like for other states but this is what is available here through the MCOs for medicaid

(this is a pdf that might auto-download if you click) https://www.marylandhealthconnection.gov/assets/MCO-Comparison-Chart.pdf

most say $750 max and the one we're with doesn't even cover fillings, but I could technically change my MCO if I wanted to at any time. we just went with what covers my wife's poo poo the most.

you're right though, I hope there are some dentists that would do sliding scales.

chamale isn't in the US anyway tho so it doesn't matter in that case, lol

Personal Plans are available to adults ages 18+ and come at an introductory rate of $30 for the first 3 months, with access to on-demand care for just $1 per visit. When that initial period ends, you can enroll in an annual plan for only $120 per year + $1 per visit. There are no usage fees and we do not bill insurance. This low introductory rate is only available once and will be associated with your account and phone number. (Please note, only one patient is allowed per account.)

For the price of a single visit to the CVS clinic, I could sign up for a whole year of this poo poo

all i can say is it's come in handy several times for antibiotics and antidepressants and stuff like that

you still gotta pay for the drugs of course but it's a deep discount compared to trying to see a doctor or going to urgent care

start using a waterpik (much better than floss) and brush with sensodyne and you'll be almost pain free in a few months.

what most people don't know is that flossing can only get about 2mm under the gumline but plaque can build up as far as 4mm so some people can still get degeneration of the jaw bone even if they floss twice a day and a waterpik will solve that.

I just got a waterpik (one of the smaller rechargeable ones though) bc I had some target rewards or whatever but I haven't really gotten the hang of it yet. I'll keep at it.

after I got my fillings last week I wasn't able to get floss between the two molars at all and something got stuck and I couldn't get it out and it HURT, but the waterpik seemed to loosen something up enough that I've been able to floss there again which has helped a little

but the fillings they did just ache :(

How tf do you even use a waterpik anyway? I bought one but it just splash water everywhere. Am I supposed to close my mouth tight? But then how am I supposed to see where to aim it, is it all done by feel alone?

I'm just too dumb to figure out what I'm doing wrong with that.
