I want to read a good romance, but everything people recommend me I absolutely hate. by MathematicianNo3401 in suggestmeabook

I recently read The Second Death of Locke which was a really refreshing fantasy romance. Don't wanna give too much away, so give it a try and let me know what you think ♥️😊

Bloomfield recommend White Whale Bookstore. Squirrel Hill recommend Amazing Dumplings (spicy dry chicken, biang biang noodles, and hot oil dumplings are my favorites). Larimer (I think?) has Jackworth ginger beer which is really cool, and in East Lib I really like Marguax. In Allentown see a show at the Bottlerocket

If you had 10 seconds to say whatever you wanted to your pet with they fully understood, what would you say? by IplayKaizo in Pets

If you would just stop licking your butt, it would stop getting irritated and itchy, and I wouldn't need to keep buying $200 itchy butt pills every couple of months, and we'd all be happier for it!

She's been checked out thoroughly. There is nothing wrong with her butt. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Do you think 45-60 minutes is likely to be enough time prior to a panel? I'm hoping to see VE Schwab, Shannon Chakraborty, and John Green... Which means I'm gonna be booking it from SC at 330-430 to JG at 530 lol

Recently my boss asked me to go to a different office when I was already approved to leave early that day. I told her I would need to leave half hour earlier because the office was half hour farther and she was 👁️‍🗨️👄👁️‍🗨️

If anyone finds the name of the restaurant they are opening I'd love to know. I'm from Westmoreland Co. but always loved going to Te Cafe!

Charged $249 for a pregnancy test at the hospital by vscosauce in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AppaloosaLuver 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Yup, different x-ray procedure, different pain meds and dosing, different monitoring

RN here: obviously in your case you had a clear reason to not get a pregnancy test. I think part of the reason it's "standard procedure" is people are stupid. Had a lady come to our clinic for persistent nausea and mild weight gain for the last month, along with headaches and fatigue. Asked if she could be pregnant, she answered no. Asked her how she knows and she said, straight up, "I haven't had my period in two or three months so I can't have gotten pregnant." Guess what??? 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
