Found out the hard way that the dentist office I go to is just going to run you for your money. I just graduated, first time ever really doing dentist paperwork / insurance and all that on my own. Didn't know what was really going on, just agreed to it because I trusted them. Previous dentist that I went to as a kid gave me severe trauma and the new ones made me feel safe and actually made sure I didn't feel pain when they drilled into my teeth. However, now I have multiple teeth that they worked on and I still have severe pain just from drinking water! Yay

Anyway, my temporary crown was taken off to put on my permanent. Assistant blew air / water at the teeth and I was in so much pain I almost physically got out of the chair. They said yeah ok, put my temp back on, and now I wait till the 16th of this month to see the traveling root canal guy to see if it's something he can figure out. The dentist said they couldn't see anything in the x-rays or understand why I'm in pain 🙃 they wouldn't prescribe antibiotics either.

Temp crown fell off last night and I had to go to a 24/7 cvs to get fixodent denture adhesive to put it back on. I just took it back off since it was coming off anyway, to clean and do a salt water and oracare rinse.

Anyone know what's going? Both of my back molars are pictured. Very back one had a root canal. The one in front / bottom one in pic, is the one that has the pain. There is a little bit of cement still on it I think? And there is some pink because of the fixodent still. Tooth is sensitive to the touch.

Just bought an "excellent condition" purse on depop and it arrived with stains, broken zippers and a broken front locking clasp. I love the purse and would like to fix the issues it has rather than return it.

​

Only thing I really need help with is finding a replacement slider... I literally cannot find a blank slider at all or one that I could easily bend the bridge to put the pull tabs on.

​

I want to use the pull tabs that came with the purse, not just fix the no zipper issue. The only thing I've seen so far that would allow me to be able to use the pull tab is what is in the second photo. These are on walmart though and no other site, bad reviews too.

​

I've seen some that have an open hook but they don't look reliable and also have bad reviews too.

​

​

Any advice...? 🙃

A vinted seller has a only a few different pics like these, to model primarily just the scarf, the top, the dress, or accessories. Then says that nothing else is for sale in the description (fair and fine). I just felt like something was a bit off when looking at these.

I genuinely can't tell, but there were a few posts they now either deleted or sold within the few minutes I was screenshotting these pics.. but those were more alarming than these.

Ai is so incredibly advanced, and at this point it's so hard to know. There's just inconsistency between the photos.

Let me know what yall think?

I'd like to change up this dress, but I'm not sure what direction to take. Any suggestions?

The slip and top are black, so I could fully submerge it. I'd mainly like to change the purple and green colors, though I'm aware that it'll dye the entire dress. I've never dyed polyester before, I'm not sure if it's possible to alter the existing colors or pattern by overdyeing it.

I was considering finding a new fabric to replace the poly overlay.. I really love how the dress fits me and how it feels.

EDIT - GOT RID OF THEM!!! Thank yall for being so quick to help me out :)

I have this really gorgeous dress, but there are some very cheap tacky looking beads that sit in the middle of the chest.

I was wondering how to remove them without damaging the rest of the dress at all.

I'm not sure what they are made out of. Feels like a cheap plastic, kind of soft. Maybe a resin?? It doesn't scratch or dent if I push my nail against it / scratch / tap it.

First and foremost -

ALL SELLERS NEED TO WASH THEIR CLOTHES AND CLEAN THEIR ITEMS BEFORE SHIPPING!!!! This is basic decency and you suck major balls if you don't do so.

I bought a pair of pants and a cap. The pants stunk of like idk thrift store stink / just gross stinky but I could bear it. The cap however... in the folds it had black particulate that I thought was just like rocks and dirt at first, was confused, looked closer and they were dead beetles or some sort of other bug. And oh my god it reeks so bad. It was just completely soaked with cat piss. My hands were greasy immediately after touching, my fingers and hands started to get a rash. I started feeling itchy all over and had to shower. I had rashes on my hands for two days :(

I unfortunately didn't take any photos of it immediately unpacking. I should have. I just never have dealt with this before and I immediately started to clean since the dead bugs were just falling out on me. I've bought clothes and other items on depop and they had *a little* stink but holy crap it's never been like this. Usually people are smart enough to not ship something that is filthy and a health hazard. I don't get frustrated with people for just a little stink or a little lint or something that's very minor. This was legit a serious health hazard like whattthfffhhuh

Anyway, any tips are appreciated. Please let me know if I need to remove any of the photos!! I added them to show how rude this guy was to me and what I had to deal with. Depop removed his nasty review on my page and they said they'd be looking into it more and monitoring him.

Tldr -

Please help me get the stink out 😭

I know I should get an enzyme cleaner, but I've always had luck with just vinegar (my cats dont pee on stuff so I dont have to deal with it usually). I'll be getting one soon if my last step doesn't work...

This is what I've already done so far in order

• Washed with dawn dish soap and cold water

^ water was BLACK

• Washed with dawn dish soap and cold water

^ water was still black, starting to be brown

• Washed with dawn dish soap and cold water

^ water was brown

• Washed with dawn dish soap and cold water

^ water was lighter brown, cloudy

• Washed with dawn dish soap and cold water

^ water was cloudy

• Let sit in vinegar and cold water for several hours

^ still stunk afterwards

• Washed off the vinegar with more cold water, put baking soda on and let sit overnight

^ still stunk :(

• Mixed a solution of vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide 3%, an odor spray, dawn dish soap, cold water.

^ currently in a plastic tub sitting in my bath tub, I'm going to leave it in there overnight and check it tomorrow
