How to get over your shyness!! Update
Well there is an easy way to get over having to floss and brush etc in public. Go camping.... Just spent a week camping in Northern California and had no choice but to sit there at the picnic table flossing... and I dont even have my braces yet, tomorrow will be the big day.

OMG, that's horrible about your house and cars!! I hope you find out who did that and they are prosecuted thoroughly! That's certainly something you don't want to have to deal with right now.
But I'm glad you've gotten over your "public brushing/flossing" shyness. I've become accustomed to carrying my little case full of oral hygiene products and a bottled water. I brush everywhere, now haha.

!I could never do that in public for some reason, I'm just very self conscious and just couldn't do that...
If I were camping I would probably go do it inside the tent, or walk somewhere off by myself and do it where I have privacy, or at least turn away from the people while I was doing it.
There's nothing wrong with doing it in public at all, it's just not for me. I'm too vain and I only like to be seen at my best, not with foam bubbling in my mouth.
In a restroom I would either wait until it's empty or wet the toothbrush and just go in the stall and spit in the bowl...
I don't like brushing my teeth in front of people whether I have braces or not even including my significant other.

Well yesterday in the early afternoon the phone rang. The police found my car, nothing wrong with it, except the key missing. Well I have a spare so it worked. They even left the top up on it and locked the doors.
Last night at 3am the phone rang again, they found the misters car. Same thing , nothing wrong with it. He too is missing his key and they took his spare tire for some reason.
Now I can go get the metal on my teeth and not have to worry about all that stuff, its going to be a real good day. I will post pics later today.

That's awesome, Rainy....strange and awesome. So, is there some way that you can change the locks on a car or is that super expensive? It's weird that they can be inconsiderate enough to break into your house and leave with your cars, but considerate enough to not damage the cars and even lock them up when they're through with their joyride.

!Wow, Rainy, I'm sorry you had to come back home from vacation to find your house broken into. God darn thieves, get a life and EARN your belongings yourselves!! 
That must've been horrible but I'm glad both of your cars are back safe with their owners. About your car keys though, I agree with babyduck, you should maybe try to get the locks changes because that's a little unsettling to know someone has your keys and could take them without notice. 
Do you mind me asking around what area in WA you are located?? Got me a little scared.
On a lighter note, I hope your appointment at your Ortho went well. Plus, that's great that you've overcome your shyness about going about your Orthodontic care in front of others!

I'm glad there's a touch of good news in this story. Having been a victim of a car break in before I know how it feels. Any good locksmith or your dealer should be able to change the locks.
Here's to the rest of this story turning out good.

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

Thanks everyone, yes it all turned out okay. Laalaa we are in Maple Valley area. The weird thing is they could have taken so much stuff. There was money in the house (just change), guns, alcohol, small tools etc. They god forbid could have taken our computers. All they did take was a laptop that was in the house and the cars. Mister did have his work laptop in the trunk and that is gone as well as his spare tire.
We both are getting the car locks changed. Insurance will not cover door lock/ignition change but will cover transponders. I have decided to not get the care door remote redone, just the locks and ignition for now. I will just have the transponder deactivated. Mister has a car alarm on his and its gonna cost an arm, leg and teeth to get everything replaced
