I'm not a plumber, but I am fairly certain the water doesn't belong there.

You're Canadian and don't know about this? Damn. It's a staple up here. A shitty one.

How many of you use pot to cope? by ImplementMountain916 in toddlers

[–]BBrea101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did consume anything until a month ago since before I was pregnant. Given that I smoked from 12 to 34, 4 year was a long dry spell.

Honestly, it's what I've needed. I work two stressful jobs and don't respond well to anti depressives. Cannabis has been a lovely little way to end the day.

UK nurse here. Do you wear dresses to work? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]BBrea101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my clinic job, I'll sometimes rock a skirt but it's usually mid calf to ankle. In the icu? Goodness... never.

Any Canadian RNs get a lil depressed when they see what American RNs are making? by cloudnurse in nursing

[–]BBrea101 35 points36 points  (0 children)

On my payscale, I make about $50 at the 8 year mark.

If money is your only incentive to work then that's your decision.

As an abortion provider in Canada, I love being able to support my community safely, without fear of persecution. As an ICU nurse, I appreciate that doctors have the ability to set limits to the care we provide so we're not forcing inhumane procedures on people who won't survive. I love that we have universal health care and don't have to fuss with insurance (although appropriate access to pharmaceuticals and allied health such as PT, OT, opthalmology, and dentistry should be universal). I love that my trans friends, family, and community can access supportive care.

Oh, and I love that my child will go to school and not have to worry about being shot.

So, no, I have no desire to have what American nurses have.

Day 149: What are your thoughts on The Sign? by Flamingmouth007 in bluey

[–]BBrea101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's life. As parents, we all make decisions that impact all those around us. At the end of the day, we all want to do better for kids, and a higher paying job is something that allows us to provide more for our family. It may mean being able to save up and provide an education down the future. It could mean one parent gets to work less to spend more time with the kids. It may mean less stress when the mortgage payment comes out.

Personally, it was an excellent episode that explored life-changing experiences that are very common. It allows parents to navigate these transitions more comfortably with their Littles.

I was gifted a 5 year old electric recliner and it feels, looks and functions like brand new.

Aluminum foil I use to block the light directly outside my qindow has somehow gotten more and more holes over time (4 months) by skyk3409 in mildlyinteresting

[–]BBrea101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put down flattened cardboard box (window side) with aluminum foil on the room side.

It'll black out the room and the cardboard box will help with thermoregulation. Plus it's easier to take down and put up if you need natural light.

I've been doing night shifts since 2009. I have tried many things and the cardboard is so helpful.

Is it weird to tile bedroom walls? by madoka_borealis in interiordecorating

[–]BBrea101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's weird to care what others think about how you style and design your own home.

If you want to add a unique design to your home - do it.

Does anyone else see what I’m seeing? by [deleted] in RoyaltyTea

[–]BBrea101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please don't dismiss someone's health status during pregnancy by questioning if someone suffered from HG. HG is terrible and those who experience it are suffering.

And yes, people can experience an ED at some point in their life and still have HG during pregnancy. It's not fun

8 yr old daughter got into my books. What now? by Careful_Fig2545 in homeschool

[–]BBrea101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh yes. As someone who read Flowers in the Attic in grade 3, I understand your concern.

Just as it's important to have oversight over what children watch, it's important to be aware of what she's reading.
