I'm not at a point yet where I want to show pictures (still at the self conscious stage!), but I'm curious about the changes and discomfort throughout the braces process. I am 37 and never lost one of my canine baby teeth and the permanent canine came through my gum as an adult. I needed dental work on my very crowded lower teeth so I am yet to get the braces on those. I got braces on my upper teeth in December and had the baby tooth removed in March. Everything feels so wonky in my mouth and my bite is so different feeling it's hard to feel like this is helping (I'm pretty sure it is, my teeth never lined up to begin with so it's not like I knew what a nice, even bite felt like anyways lol).

Like the title says, just looking to see if others had this but then the farther along you get the better it feels. My ortho's plan is estimated to take around 22 months 🤞 although with how weird my teeth are it's hard to imagine them being straight in such a short period of time. All the before and after pictures here give me hope 😅

Per California's Department of Industrial Relations website, I know all hours worked over 8 hours in a day and over 40 hours in a week are paid at time and a half. My question is if someone has a 40 hour schedule for the week but picks up 4 extra hours of overtime at the beginning of the week, do they then also get paid overtime for the last 4 hours of their last shift of the week because it will also trigger the "more than 40 hours" rule? Essentially for the week they would end up with 36 hours of regular pay and 8 hours of overtime. It seems like double dipping to me, but I couldn't find it stated anywhere that the "more than 40 hours" rule excludes previously paid overtime. Any advice with the relevant legal source would be greatly appreciated!

Essentially the title. My mother unexpectedly came home with a 9 month old gsd/malinois mix she got from a homeless guy. I have a 2 year old daughter so need to make sure we've got a handle on the new dog as soon as possible. I already have a German shepherd mix at home so I have some experience, but I got her as an adult and didn't have to deal with the dreaded adolescence phase.

Thanks in advance!
