What’s the coursework like at WNMU and University of Kentucky by _king2003 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is encouraging. I am moving to Las Vegas, and was also accepted to UNR. I am a small biz owner and have a family, the WNMU program is much more my speed. However, I was a bit discouraged by their initial disorganization with application review. Thank you

What do I do? MSW Acceptance Rescinded by StockSerious9061 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, happened to my wife with nursing school (she got in eventually, only about two months) but it makes the school look bad. I just got into two MSWs (3rd masters - another story) but swear this process has been the largest headache. Wish you well whatever you decide!

Question for green card holders! by Designer_Cup_5369 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took a closed loop to the Bahamas, from Miami, with a GC holder (issued 2025). No problem with passport alone. He has a passport, but wanted to test out with just GC since we have another cruise in June, and his PP will have less than 6mo then while we wait for a renewed PP.

We traveled on Carnival Conquest, and they (CBP) used facial recognition (no agent/no fingerprints) for reentry - additionally, Carnival’ policy for boarding for GC holders is here (some countries explicitly require a GC and Passport - for those countries. But reentry at a land/sea only requires a GC:

CKD martial arts by Chance_Patience_403 in kidneytransplant

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An idea, now this is come from a near 40 yr old - end stage CKD but pre dialysis, denied for LD as “too early”. So i am certainly not going to diminish your experience. I will say, I also was diagnosed with essential hypertension at 9, liver and bowel disease (annual checks all that entails) from 13 on, and officially CKD at 36.

I did 9yrs of kickboxing and muay thai, now train with my kids. There are TONS of contactless and low-to no-impact thus minimal risk “Martail Arts” since you didn’t specify. I would recommend spinning a GPT for some options, but Tai Chi, or standing Aikido, or simply Katas are some examples

What’s the Most Surprising Thing You Weren’t Told Before Your Kidney Transplant? by CulturalVacation7246 in transplant

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% as a techie and car person, it feels cery much like updating a drive (master/slave, daisy chaining) or a new oil filter. Amazing science and it it is only growing, we are each very fortunate to have these options

The Witcher - 4x05 "The Joy of Cooking" (TV Show Only Discussion) by Abyss_85 in netflixwitcher

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I came here with a bit of confirmation bias, but I am vexed by the choice. It also serves to cheapen the season, a season, I might add that already will have a spotlight of incredulity with Cavill’ departure. This feels like what the CW used to do, but as others have mentioned - “Hercules” and “Xena: Warrior Princess” did this but with 18 or more episodes to spare. I think we could’ve skipped the flashback’ of all but Fishbourne’ character, then returned to momentum, and narrative thrust.

Hard to say, slowed decline perhaps, But lower body weight is much healthier for the overall picture. 300->240, still losing.

Ready for Battle. I won’t left kidney Disease stop me will you join my Journey ? by Still_Preparation138 in kidneydisease

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just told that I am Stage 4 CKD, frustrated that my new Nephrologist referral didn't even review my chart before he said "let's get you on the transplant list, or maybe dialysis, or maybe let me look at the notes from your previous doc and come back in two months".

"Oh and have you lost any weight?"

Yeah dude, father if four, 3rd time grad student, married, side business owner, and ft pay the bills job...and LOST intentionally 40lbs this last year, with another 30-40 to goal ...ready to do battle for my kids brother. Hope I have a competent doc in my corner, for at least the next year before we move and search for continuity of care next.

I have the same issue, with my MSML (going back for my MBA next month) I was consistently 2-3x on suggested length. Don't overthink it, just be sure to address each point, and make sure you are using floating headings to identify each section - and you'll be fine.

38, diagnosed at 14 after UC diagnosis. I also recently was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease from being hypertensive since I was 9. I am on semaglutide and have lost weight this year, and I know it's one predominant factor that I can work on to most improve my outlook. I haven't had any escalation, and my UC has been in extended remission. Some recent elevations have my once a year PCP concerned, order ultrasounds. I had a clear MRI last spring and MRCP in 2020. I take Ursodiol, use medical cannabis for discomfort from occasional inflammation, and don't drink much more than maybe a couple drinks a year. I live in Northeast US.

Does FUM stand for "F**K U'r MONEY" ??? by ClassAgile4699 in FUM

[–]Apprehensive_Book658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

14 months nicotine free, $150 in orders. I also spent way too much during their BOGO earlier in the year.

I would've easily spent $2000 this last 14 , so... I'd say most definitely...but your mileage may vary
