Basically what the title says - does anyone have any first hand experience with any good options for an electric low waste toothbrush? Ideally plastic free bristles but open to other opinions!

I keep getting ads for a boar bristle electric toothbrush with bamboo replacement heads which sounds great but at the same time I’m not trying to sacrifice the health of my teeth. Any and all recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Title kind of sums it up - I was trying to order the 2007 Jonas Brothers self titled album on vinyl but when I looked it up I can’t even find anything? Was it/is it ever sold on vinyl?

I have been a T1D for over 27 years. I have been on Dexcom CGM for maybe the past 8-10 years. 

NEVER in my entirety of using Dexcom products has it ever been this bad. In the past year, I am not even exaggerating when I say that I think I have had 1 - MAYBE 2 but that is really pushing it - last the entirety of it's 10 or 15 day session. IN THE PAST YEAR. 

I have used 10 day sensors, I have used the 15 day sensors, I use alcohol wipes, I use the overpatch, I use it in approved locations, I DO ALL THE THINGS. None of my batches have been on the recall list. And every single time, like clockwork, whenever it starts having "Brief sensor issues," I know that sensor will fail within the next 1-2, sometimes 3 days. 

I know I have for sure forgotten to submit at least 2 - maybe 3 - from the list below but I legit went back and listed out each time I have reported a failing sensor this year. This is UNREAL. 

This is so frustrating! When I pack for a 3 day weekend, I shouldn’t feel the need to bring 30-45 days worth of cgms with me….

I have an two events to go to at the end of September and I know the vibe I want but I have no clue where to start because I hate buying clothes for myself but I also want to incorporate what I already own if possible. I don’t even know if a personal stylist for a single event exists, one that will work with whats there, or even if it’s even affordable option for me but any and all suggestions are appreciated!

I just had a desperate need to go down the Jonas Brothers nostalgia train and get deep into the old YouTube and MySpace videos for hours. What are everyone’s favorites?

I swear I looked that same night…. But then I couldn’t find it and then I fell asleep and then I forgot to follow up for days…. I’m so sorry

I am traveling abroad in a month and I will be in humid, hot conditions for2-3 weeks and I am not sure what my access to a fridge will be during my time there. Does anyone know of a good insulin cooler that I can use while traveling?

I am using kwik pens so I don’t have to worry about my pump failing, getting too hot, or falling off but now I just need ideas on how to keep my supply cool enough. I use Frio cooling pouches right now when I go outside of the house and stuff like that but they only hold a couple at a time and I don’t think they would be great for reliable, international travel.

I don't want anything super super bulky since I'm trying to pack in one large duffel bag but at the same time it literally keeps me alive so obviously I'll make room if needed lol

Any and all ideas are appreciated!

Just a heads up for someone like me with ADHD and miserable executive dysfunction who hates making phone calls and has been procrastinating calling ADT to get a price decrease - use this post as your sign and DO IT.

Yes, it took me 25 minutes on the phone but most of that was because I called billing dept instead of account management and I was put on hold for a while. But it was an easy process for me once I got to acct management. I told them I would like to cancel if they couldn't get my monthly payment down to about half the price I was paying (I was paying ~$70/month and they were going to raise it again to $75 for June) and just by telling them I could switch to Simplisafe for ~$30/month, they immediately lowered my price to $32/month.

Yes, ADT is annoying overall but I will continue with it to not have to switch out my whole system. I'm taking the small wins for now.
