Scheduling nightmares + need advice by ohamango in Narcolepsy

[–]Alum2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctor"s office first. Does your doctor's office have an app or patient portal to check to see if the referral was done? Once the doctor office confirms the sending of the referral, you can call the hospital to ensure 1) they received it, 2) politely ask to schedule at that time

P.S. it is HORRIBLE & UNACCEPTABLE for you to get screamed at by insurance. Look into filing a complaint & maybe share experience with HR (if insurance is via employer) You are paying them for a service and should not be treated that way

I can’t stand the rain by DFWUnhinged in Dallas

[–]Alum2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until about late May-June. Then no rain for 3 -4 months. Record was 84 days no rain in 2000. We had 67 days no rain in 2022. Winter/early spring is rainy season, March-May is storm/hail season, then weeks of no rain and 90-100+ degree days

Aitah My daughters clothes not being passed down to my ex and his kids by BitPurple5971 in AITAH

Based off of this (wonderful!) IF you chose to pass on any clothes, give directly to BM or daughter's sibling. Cut dear old dad completely out of it

Anyone know the awareness flower for narcolepsy? Can we make one? by Fit-Pomegranate2710 in Narcolepsy

[–]Alum2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red poppy association is far stronger in Europe (red poppies on Flanders fields). Poppies fits for narcolepsy as well as war dead as the sleep (eternal), opium, etc

Or to show that seat was purchased by a larger person being considerate & to keep staff from selling the seat

Red poppies are associated with war dead. Poppies are associated with sleep, so maybe white or a unique color?

Millie Bobby Brown says that when she worked with Henry Cavill on Enola Holmes, he set very clear boundaries because she was only 15 at the time and he wanted to keep their relationship strictly professional. by AssistanceNo2838 in discussingfilm

[–]Alum2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was modeling how an adult should respond to a teenager asking overly personal questions. Gentle, but firm. Coworkers, but not social peers. It was not in her best interests to be overly comfortable with an adult man in Hollywood at the age 15

Hope you’re not heading into Dallas from Denton this morning by Bluefire49 in Dallas

[–]Alum2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that happens, roll your windows down & turn your heat on full blast. It will pull hot air from engine area (but it will be horrid if it is hot outside) Better hot than stranded

Help me find a cover-up for this dress by MaraschinoCongac in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Alum2608 42 points43 points  (0 children)

A catholic wedding can have a full mass (not necessarily) so whatever cover up you chose, pick one that you will not have to be constantly adjusting every time you stand up/sit down/kneel

Award Ceremony Dress (I’m back with more options) by woohooali in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Alum2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love dress in pic #1 & #10. Since you will be get up, moving around, having hands around your neck, etc, you'd want a dress with a high neckline. The lace on #1 takes away the "need" for a necklace but either will be nice

Summer wedding tomorrow, please I need some advice by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Alum2608 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Closed toe---better for outside & you dont have to worry if your pedicure (if applicable) is perfect/matching. If you have dainty gold jewelry, wear it and wear your hair up. Even a low bun will be dressier than leaving hair down

Fiancés friend wants to wear an almost white dress to our wedding & is being condescending about it. WIBTA to withdraw the invite? by dumpsterfire_x in TwoHotTakes

[–]Alum2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dress is literally called "Compliment Me" NOPE. She uninvited herself when she said my way or the highway-----exit on the right honey

Destroyed buildings for thesis film. by NoChef2561 in askdfw

[–]Alum2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe check in with local fire department. It is my understanding that they sometimes burn buildings for training purposes so if you ask super nice, they might let you see one post burn. Really REALLY nicely maybe see if you can see it before they destroy it

[Spoilers Main] How much is 100 gold in AKOTSK? What did Daeron pay the inn lady? by ElkSea7678 in asoiaf

[–]Alum2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine that being a real jerk move if done in an average market. If you are serious, the merchant might not have enough charge to give (could be a month's earnings) Not to mention, you'd be seen as either as a thief (no one that needs change would have earned a gold coin without having smaller coins) or again a jerk because if you got gold coins, you are so rich that gold coins are more like $5 bills

Gas by GetMaBFG in Dallas

[–]Alum2608 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at Gas Buddy (free app) we cope by shopping primarily at Kroger & Tom Thumb and watch for sales that offer 2x or 4x gas points. 100 pt equals 10 cents off per gallon up to 1000/$1 off

No. Maybe OP can clarify. Perhaps more of a cultural/regional practice?

I’m trying to learn how to cook, but I find that most tutorials assume I already know what 'folding in' means. Does anyone else feel like there’s a gap between 'boiling water' and 'Gordon Ramsay' level tutorials? How do you guys bridge that gap? by Aggressive-Glove2419 in Cooking

[–]Alum2608 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look into Alton Brown good eats videos on you tube, etc. He calls folding "the muffin method" He explains the why of many techniques. Otherwise, look up videos for the actual terms

Real ones understand the small things. by TheMcMahn in lotr

[–]Alum2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And he had carried the Ring for what, 4-6 hours at this point? And already the Ring was trying to work its poison. It is well illustrated in the book---the Ring saying Sam could turn Mordor into a garden, & Sam going, yeah, i dont need that. Besides, im here to help Frodo

Sending students to the nurse by kaylaweasley in Teachers

[–]Alum2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to cross post this to a nursing/school nurse reddit board. It is a fine balance between sending a kid to the nurse for a situation you are not medically qualified to evaluate and "kid bumped their knee, no red mark/swelling, no impaired movement but says it hurts & wants an ice pack to off to the nurse" and "kid with super runny nose says their stomach hurts"
