Absolutely crushed about the recent update of Trashaun Atwell. He passed away over the weekend just about three weeks after celebrating his 14th birthday in July.

I have so many questions. Why is it the US Embassy denied his medical visa? Is it that the doctors at the hospital didn’t give his parents adequate paperwork to stress the urgency of his case? Isn’t there a body to help families along in such cases to ensure every bit and piece needed is in order? And how do/did you feel when the news of his death became public?

His father was a 50% bone marrow match; not ideal but close enough. There was some hope. It’s just so disappointing.

Hey guys, please be gentle with me on this one. I just feel so isolated and really wanted to hear from others whi might have experienced an issue similar to mine.

My orthodontist’s office took one of my wisdom teeth out. She said she would rather a more senior professional to take the other three of my wisdom teeth out. That’s the two impacted bottom ones and for the upper left, she identified I had an extra tooth which I actually never knew about.

I had the extractions done on Wednesday, having put my under serious anesthesia so I would be unconscious while they worked.

My mouth was swollen, I was drowsy. My lips were badly swollen. I couldn’t feel my tongue in my mouth. And the nerves were all badly tingling in my cheeks and lips. All I could do was sip soup. I couldn’t open my mouth big enough to even fit the medicine they gave me too well at first. They instructed my fiancé to leave the Invisalign out until next week Tuesday which would have been this past Tuesday. And as it happens it’s only that morning I could really open my mouth much better to brush. That’s also the morning I discovered my tongue tie had been broken. Like no more webbing !!!!!!!!! Which was revealed to have been done inadvertently when they put the blocks and other equipment in my mouth. But he said do some exercises and leave out the Invisalign until Friday.

All this to say, I see a space forming between my front teeth this morning. And my orthodontist office, although they had the heads up before I did anything just brushed me off! They at first said to come in two weeks after the extraction. When I asked for an appointment wing proactive they said you’re due for an Invisalign check up on August 12 so we will let you know. UGH. Then what is the point of the check in after the extraction. Then today they said I should have worn them after the extraction. Like I genuinely lost my marbles and exploded. It’s like so hard to have attentive care? In the end she said to wear them at night and do 10 hours minimum and promised to call back — which she never did. What has anyone else’s experience been like? And how did you manage? I put in the tray I wore before the appointment, but I should be on tray 28 since Saturday. So.. I just don’t know what to think.

Hey!

So I am making this post for my nephew. He is 21 and is really looking for something to do to earn money. He is hopeful to start Skills Training soon and has skills in cutting grass, however with the rainy weather he has lost out on any possible jobs he would usually get.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Hey!

I’m in need of some connection with anyone who is preparing for the FM September 2026 exam.

Please, please, please at least have a learning provider and a plan so we can share knowledge, motivate and, vivify each other regularly to seriously get enough studying in as possible.

I’m thinking to do FM in September. Any tips for success?

How do you guys feel about EV cars?

My heart is for the BYD, but my boss has me playing offense about them. He says one of his neighbors has one parks up since over a year because he can’t get the part. Another story he said is they’re so new mechanics here only over promise for fixing take the money and cant get it fix. I honestly don’t know what to think.

What do you guys think of the BYDs really??
Im hearing it’s hard to find parts. Which scares me me away from them. Im in love with the sea lion and the song plus. But I think I’ll prefer a small one to start.
