Totally relate to your pizza budgeting strategy, haha. When I was deciding, I actually made a spreadsheet (nerd alert, I know...) comparing upfront vs...
Ugh, I feel your pain... ruined my favorite hoodie last winter trying to scrub out a coffee stain. I've heard dish soap works wonders, but does anyone...
That's a good point about the paperwork. My first surgeon was similar—super rushed during the appointment, barely looked up from his notes, and I left...
Temperature was definitely a big deal for me too. I remember after my root canal, I thought ice cream would be perfect—soft, easy to eat—but nope, the...
I get where you're coming from, but honestly, affordability isn't the whole story. When I was first told I needed braces, the orthodontist recommended...

Haha, your son climbing you like a tree sounds exactly like my daughter during her first dentist visit. I totally agree about the casual intro—wish I'...
Totally agree here. When I got my braces off, I thought I'd be diving straight into crunchy tacos and kettle chips... but my teeth had other ideas. Th...
