Some rambling thoughts in a Hump Day

Hello, awesome Read.cashers. In this part of the world, it's still Wednesday. And today, I have some rambling thoughts to share.

I started writing this article this morning sitting in a small garden outside the dental office where I had an appointment, while the dentist was attending my husband. In these times of pandemic, it isn't allowed to wait inside the office. So it seemed like a good place to write some notes that ended up becoming my article for today.

Do you know what is bruxism?

Today my dental appointment wasn't due to any toothache thank goodness. However, my poor husband needs root canal treatment. The reason for my appointment is that I need a dental splint because I have bruxism.

Bruxism is a condition that causes us to unconsciously grind or gnash our teeth. It can be caused by anxiety or stress but also by an irregular way of biting. Teeth grinding can occur day or night. And the effect is the wear of the teeth that can cause fractures. I have always had a tendency to grind my teeth, especially while sleeping. And in the past, I have had the odd little fracture of some teeth. A few weeks ago, I had a slightly large one, but in the end, the dentist was able to save my tooth and recommended that I have a dental splint to protect my teeth while I sleep.

There are people whose bruxism is so severe that they suffer from jaw and headaches. It isn't my case, but I want to protect my teeth and my pocket. Because I don't want my BCH to end up all in the hands of the dentist every time a tooth cracks or fractures. So that was the reason for my appointment at the dentist today.

Acerola, do you know it?

While I was sitting in the garden waiting for my turn, I took some photos of flowers. But what most caught my attention was a little bush with fruits. Earlier today, in Noise, I posted the header photo of this article, asking if anyone knew the name of the fruit. When I first saw it, I thought it was nectarine. But Google Lens told me it was an Amazon fruit called camu-camu. Both assumptions were wrong, and a Noise user gave me the right information. Turns out the fruit is Acerola.

Acerola

From what I could read, Acerola is a fruit that is grown in Central and South America. Especially in tropical climates. It's very rich in vitamin C. It contains much more than lemon and orange. And it's a bit acrid in taste. I've never tried it, but I did know that I had heard it named.

So I told my husband if he knew it, and he said yes. Then I remembered where I had heard about acerola. In Brazil, it is produced in large quantities, and acerola juice is well known. My husband told me some years ago an anecdote about a work trip he had to make to Brazil. At lunchtime, he and his colleagues went to the hotel cafe where they were staying. And the waiter recommended them to try the acerola juice. Everyone ordered it except my husband who ordered a Coke. All his colleagues had to leave the cafe before finishing eating, wanting to go to the bathroom. My husband was left alone in the cafeteria, hehe. Despite that, I would love to try it because from what I have read, it has many beneficial properties for health. But just in case, I'll make sure to try it the first time at my house, hehe. ;)

Some Notes related to SmartBCH and other Cryptos

Speaking of something else, yesterday I tried the wagon.cash application to make the bridge of my BCH with SmartBCH. It was very good. The operation was almost instantaneous and with a fee of 0.1%. A great alternative to Coinflex when depositing our BCH in SmartBCH. It's faster and for those of us who live in territories that Coinflex doesn't cover, it avoids us the hassle of having to take some detours and shortcuts.

Acerola - Photo posted in Noise earlier

I read about how to use wagon.cash yesterday in @Pantera's article Transfer your BCH to SmartBCH Easily with Wagon.Cash & Prompt.Cash in which he also told about Prompt.cash another alternative to Coinflex.

It's just a few hours until Binance's new Launchpad project, Lazio Fan Token, begins its subscription period. So my alarm is set. Please note that this isn't financial advice and always do your own research.

And the Celery token pre-sale in SmartBCH is in a few days, so it's time to do some DYOR for this.

Sorry if this was a bit of a strange mix of topics to write about, but this was what I had in my mind today.

Thanks to all of my wonderful sponsors. And today especially to those who have renewed their sponsorship these days. My dear @HappyBoy, my friend @gertu13, the dear doc @LykeLyca, the awesome mad Scotsman @TengoLoTodo, and @TheEmpress, who I don't forget was my first sponsor at Read.cash, and who is behind the Konra token at SmartBCH. If you want to know more about Konra, follow her profile on Noise. Sorry if I forget to thank anyone. These days I've been very busy, and my notifications have been on fire.

To you, my dear readers, thank you so much!

I know about bruxism because I also suffer from it, just a year ago I was diagnosed after spending a whole year at the dentist for various reasons.

Since I was young I have been to the dentist more than any other specialist, I would say that in 20 years I have not spent even 6 months absent from this doctor. Last year was the worst of all, my main tooth broke and it was not decayed, I went through 11 reconstructions and 3 dentists until I finally got to where I am currently being treated, after fixing that tooth I went through a disaster of abscesses and other tooth fractures.

They placed a crown to save a tooth, and in 6 months I had to repair the crown again, in conclusion bruxism has done its thing, and in the last years I have spent only in my dental care 1200 dollars and my emotional state has been affected as well as my smile.

I really liked your publication, because it is a mixture of everything, personal experience, nature, new knowledge and tips. Thank you.

Las visitas al odontólogo son traumáticas para mi, el olor que se percibe es muy particular. Que bueno que con eso que le van a colocar pueda resolver el bruxismo. También leí el artículo sobre vagón, como le comenté anteriormente estoy estudiando a ver que hacer. Pero me alegra que cada ves más personas publiquen sus experiencias, por que le abren a uno un poco la mente a la hora de tomar una decisión por las experiencias que van compartiendo.

This is the first time I've heard of bruxism. Good thing my dad never had it. He's been teeth grinding in his sleep for decades. About the fruit that looks like tomato, I'm curious how it tastes. Now we know that it's acerola after all. That wagon.cash is interesting too. Coinflex transaction takes really long for me, several hours. I should try wagon the next time I need to transact.

If he's been teeth grinding in his sleep that is what bruxism is. Wagon.cash is really fast. And this is important sometimes to don't miss opportunities in token prices.

I don't know what acerola is but I like how it sounds to be a healthier option. Bruxism is familiar to me for some in the family have it. When I first encountered the word, it stuck for I can relate to it. I have to check wagon.cash and probably prompt.cash and maybe use that when transferring funds to smartbch. It sounds easier. In coinflex, once a month, I can transfer bch for free I think.

Wagon.cash and Promp.cash work for deposit BCH into SmartBCH and are faster that Coinflex. But to cash out BCH from SmartBCH the only option is Coinflex.

There the acerola must be given well because of the climate.
