jubilantsquirrel I love, love New Orleans, would definitely recommend and it's not that expensive

I've been telling MH for a few years now that I want to go there for my 30th birthday (next January). I really hope we can make it happen!

It's acceptable to eat a Reese's egg and some Cadbury mini eggs for breakfast right? It's 8:15am.

It's been 12 minutes and I'm still blotchy. I am so embarrassed. I was probably beet red the entire time.

I wouldn't worry too much. It's probably not the first time this has happened to someone they've interviewed.

... Kinda Happens to me as well. My ears and cheeks go red.

Eta- good luck!

W, FX for you for the job! And I have a tendency to get blotchy-chested as well. I've learned to wear high necklines when I have been oral arguments in court. But sometimes it happens at the most random times - I've gotten blotchy during uncontested hearings where I barely had to do more than say my name.

[kayladawn91]

FX for you W!

W, good luck with the interview! When will you find out?

[daisy818]

legalbeagle, I used off-brand Invisalign (my dentist in NY offered it) back maybe in 2010? It worked well and got my lower teeth (which had shifted over the years) back in line. But then I was terrible about wearing the retainer, so they are all jacked up again. I still have my trays and sometimes I think I might just start over again (although if they are not in the original start position that could be bad news for a few days).

[requiressnacks]

I hope it works out, W! I'm sure they understand your blotchiness is probably nerves.

i've always wanted to see what my face looks like in this situation. I've never been able to see it. I will run into someone that I know in the grocery store and I can feel my face becoming hot.

I have this, too...I actually once saw my face in a mirror while I could feel it and my face wasn't too bad looking (felt worse than it looked) but my chest was definitely blotchy. I just figure most people don't stare at your chest...but if they do, I'm flattered, ha!

[requiressnacks]

For all the braces people, my ortho put a permanent retainer (a little piece of metal cemented on my teeth) on my bottom teeth and they are still perfect after 20+ years. I would highly recommend.

I keep hoping it happens in front of a mirror or somewhere where I can see my reflection. I hope it's not as bad as it feels. That would make things better.

Yeah, my face usually looks okay even when it feels all hot and even when my chest is a red and white mottled mess.

I had this put in when I was 12, and then when I was 18 my new ortho was like, "You don't need this, it will just get food stuck in it" and took it out.  I still curse that man.  I should probably use the molds to get it aligned again and then go back to that guy and tell him to put the permanent retainer back in for free.  "You owe me this from 1999, asshole!"

I had mine put in when I was 12... And it is still there. Never fell out and the dentist never mentions taking it out. It's my top teeth that are crooked again.

Oh bummer! I always thought that for me it had helped keep my top teeth straight because my bottom teeth stayed in place.

They totally owe you!!!My dentist never mentions taking it out. And I love when they floss behind it!

[jubilantsquirrel]

Fingers crossed for you W!

[wannabmama]

I got distracted by the blotchy chest talk and forgot to say good luck W I hope they surprise you!

Has anyone tried Invisalign? My dog ate my nightguard a few days ago and now I'm toying with getting it. Obvs I hope to be pregnant soon so am wondering if it doesn't make sense to add that to a pregnancy. Thoughts? In any event, I'll need something to put in my mouth at night (minds out of gutters) so I don't get headaches.

I have a night guard too, and I have considered invisalign instead, my guard is over $300! I might as well get straighter teeth out of it, right?

I'm eyeing my retainer in my medicine cabinet nervously. I think I'm going to try to jam it over my poor teeth tonight just in case. I wish my ortho had given me a permanent retainer! DNW the gap between my two front teeth ever again.

I had this issue! When they removed my braces, they put a teeny tiny wire retainer behind my 2 front teeth to keep them from separating!

Why is work on Friday a thing? I would rather stay home and watch Fuller House.

We are planning a binge night tomorrow to watch this!!!

Who's drinking? Teaching kindergarten is exhausting. Coffee and wine are necessary all the time. DS spit up in my hair and then peed on me while I was taking him out of my bath. So wine.

[wannabmama]

bradysalon I had wine while I cooked dinner...debated a second glass or a cookie. Went with cookie. So far. The night is still young.

Can the presidential race be over already?!?

I am so sick of these debates. H is really into politics and wants to watch every single debate, which means this stuff is on basically every other day.

Reasons I'm glad I live in Canada. We have maybe 2 months of hardcore campaigning before voting our PM. Presidential races seem to go on for over a year?

Wine here!!

We are the same person. I had to finish running by 7:30 when the debate started.

I'm using this time to book our hotel for vacation.

Who watches It's Always Sunny?? I can watch the earlier seasons over and over and die laughing. The newer ones have sucked but last week's with Maureen acting like a cat is killing me. Love!
