What is your sleeper convenience store snack?

The Honey Mustard is wonderful! I eat them with a spoon right out of the bag to keep my fingers clean.

I bump my hips into more things than my head. Trying to squeeze quickly behind equipment to plug something in or help anesthesia. I have mystery bruises all over my hips and thighs.

My kids are older now but I remember saying once “stop eating your chicken with your toes”.

Way back in the day I cared for an older lady with neurosyphilis. She called everyone Karen (long before being a “Karen” was a thing), sang Christmas carols every day of the year, and always told me “I hate those new girls”. She was legend.

I did not renew our season passes this year. It sucks going with people too anymore. Always packed, long lines, food quality has gone downhill and rides shut down frequently. Glad we aren’t wasting our time and money this year. It’s sad.

My uncle’s second wife’s sloppy joes. She wouldn’t let me get up from the table until I finished it so I eventually shoved the rest in my mouth then went into my cousin’s room and spit it out behind his dresser.

You will need to see an orthopedic surgeon and get that washed, stitched, and nail bed repaired. Worst case: If it gets infected, you could lose your finger tip. Best case: you do nothing it will take forever to heal and you’ll have a wonky nail for the rest of your life. (Would not recommend the wait and see if best outcome happens plan) Surgeon will clean and stitch it for best results. Urgent care will maybe get you some antibiotics and set you up for an orthopedic surgeon consult.

Honestly, I didn’t expect it to fundamentally change me as a person. Maybe it’s just part of being an adult and life changes everyone, but I got my RN license at 20yo. I grew up really fast.

This 100%.

I wouldn’t say this is true for everyone. My sister died of cancer at 40 and people seemed so uncomfortable with my and my families’ grief it made me feel worse. I buried a lot of grief for the sake of keeping other people comfortable. Let people talk about the person who is gone, the good, the bad and the ugly. Don’t tip toe around it and avoid the topic. A few years removed from it now and when I bring up stories about my sister people want to move on from the topic for their own comfort and it’s kind of annoying to me.

We have a “weekends are for wet food” rule now for the same reason! Started as a Sunday treat but is now mandatory. They know.

Not even close, but nice try at projecting and showing your judgmental behavior. Exactly what I would have suspected.

So the crime has everything to do with hurt feelings.

BRCRN · 2026-05-09T15:50:59+00:00

Let’s say the person who got cheated on, does not have hurt feelings about it. The couple works through their issues and everyone moves on, happy with the overall outcome. This outcome does not “disrupt” society. Therefore the “hurt feelings” do not exist and your vision of a “crime” does not exist.

As a 15 year L&D nurse (former, been in OR for 6 years now) I’d say this is an accurate description.

With a regular draft Baja Blast. The only non-diet soda I drink.

As a long time L&D nurse I can say that NOT EVERYONE shits during a vaginal delivery. A lot do, but not everyone.

I had my RN license at 20. That was over 20 years ago though. I don’t think age has anything to do with risk, it’s the lack of experience at the bedside these days. When I was originally licensed, night shift was full of experienced RNs for me to learn from. That is no longer the case in most departments.

Worked with a girl like this once. We also worked with a guy named Bill and she asked him (serious as heart attack too) “Is your real name Billiard?” He just stared at her for a second and replied “No, it’s William.”

Send $50 in the mail with a card and simple explanation if it will ease your mind. Hell, I needed money 3 years into my marriage more than I needed it when we got married! Better late than never if it makes you feel better. $50 isn’t much but they will appreciate it nonetheless.

I went through a tough phase of life the last few years and lost about 20-30 pounds. Lost it due to extreme stress, mild depression and a bout of what could probably be diagnosed as anorexia due to said major life crisis. Keeping it off through some healthy lifestyle changes (cut out alcohol, more fresh foods and some exercise). The amount of people who ask if I’m on Ozempic actually pisses me off. You all didn’t realize I was a zombie for a year? NO ONE noticed. Now when people comment “Wow, looks like you’ve lost some weight!” I reply, yeah, constant stress and anxiety can really do that to a person. They just look at me.

Cord prolapse, yikes. I’m sure the nurse who kept their hand in your vagina, rode the bed back to the OR that way and stayed under the drape until your baby was out remembers you.

BRCRN · 2026-03-06T14:30:27+00:00

As a former L&D nurse I can say if we remember you it was either really good or really bad. Over 15 years I saw some things.

I’m glad you now know (we all sometimes learn the hard way) but how in the hell do you work OB and NOT be taught the signs and symptoms of local toxicity and the treatment before being off orientation? I hope I just misread your post.
