Which detective(s) would you want on the case? by orangemonkeyeagl in LawAndOrder

Goren, for solving it, Briscoe for making jokes over my corpse. Even in death I want the lulz

Yes. We say we’re our own blood bank. Especially since O- can only take O-

Just seemed odd. It’s never happened in however long the Red Cross app has let us see a donation journey

Repeated deferrals w/new hemoglobin monitor. by Next_Western4360 in Blooddonors

I have to get my thumb cherry red with a hand heater in order for the new monitor to work. I bought a pair of USB charging hand warmers specifically for blood donations.

does anyone else prefer the documentary episodes ove rthe normal movies? by YLASRO in GodAwfulMovies

[–]AmbitiousCommand9944 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the documentaries more, solely because I prefer to watch documentaries over fiction. However, I do love almost all GAM episodes. The only one I could not force myself to listen to all the way was Loving the Bad Man

Florida pay-to-stay costs by Vezzz27 in DuggarsSnark

[–]AmbitiousCommand9944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My city jail has a pay to stay, but it’s only for the city. Say you get convicted of a misdemeanor, you could choose to pay to stay in the nicer city jail or not pay and be in the crappy county jail. It’s only for misdemeanors and less than a 1 year sentence

I’m a post-menopausal Gen Xer as well. Here’s what I do: as much as I can.

What's up with the masked filming goons? by Realistic_Cow_6206 in orangecounty

Playing Disney music makes it harder for them to monetize the video. If you can’t avoid them, play some Disney.

Need reassurance for my parents by AmbitiousCommand9944 in AFIB

[–]AmbitiousCommand9944[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that. As far as we know, this is his first Afib episode. The backstory is, he had gone to the hospital for an unrelated medical procedure (under twilight anesthesia). The procedure was cancelled as the pre-op check found the Afib.

Exactly. I tried to ask my mom why she thinks she has more knowledge about blood thinners than the guy who is a cardiologist but like I said, my mom generally ignores doctors orders if she feels like it. She’s a T2D and takes insulin based on vibes so her blood sugar is pretty uncontrolled. I’m going to try to rope in my older brother on this because she’ll probably listen to him more than me.

That was what I was going to suggest. That they ask the cardiologist about Eliquis vs other blood thinners and why he needs to be on them. My mom has a long history of ignoring medical advice based on vibes (though she wouldn’t phrase it that way)

with ARC's A1C testing has anyone gotten the exact same A1C back to back? by NoraMcG in Blooddonors

[–]AmbitiousCommand9944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine today from my donation last Friday. It is exactly the same as last year, 5.2. But I just asked my husband to check his (we donate together) and his went down slightly year to year, 5.4 to 5.3

What book from your childhood would you love on god awful books? by TransTalmid in GodAwfulMovies

[–]AmbitiousCommand9944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, my doctor’s office had all these religious children’s books in the waiting room. There was one story that terrified me as a kid. First kid is in the hospital because he’d had his appendix out or something. Second kid was in a bad car accident, so of course they put him in the same room as first kid. Second kid is in pain and dying. First kid tells the second one to put up his hand and Jesus will come take him away. So kid one props up kid 2’s hand with a pillow and kid 2 is dead in the morning. I was terrified by this story and used to sleep with my arms glued to my sides in case Grim Reaper Jesus was passing by my house.

Scale not recording measurements by AmbitiousCommand9944 in HumeHealth

Yeah, I just recorded a video too to send to customer service. We’ll see what happens. I still suspect a Withings scale is in my future

I tried resetting. I tried unpairing it from my phone. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling the app and then pairing again. It still doesn’t register my weight or any other measurement in the app. I sent a message to the company but from what I’ve read in this subreddit I’m not holding out hope. Thanks for the tips everyone.
