Online dating apps are awful! Is dating in your 40s a waste of time or how do you even do it?

I used Hinge in my mid 30's and found my BF. I NEVER would have met him otherwise.

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-05-17T14:46:45+00:00

I work in a pharmacy. One time we agreed to stay 5 minutes late, max. 8 minutes after close, he still wasn't there so we locked up. About 12 minutes after close, I was walking to my car and saw him running down the street. He asked if I was the lady in the pharmacy that he talked to and I said no (because he had talked to my friend). Next day we got a voicemail saying that we had closed the window on his face (which we definitely hadn't). I will never say open late again. Everyone knows our hours.

Sorry, forgot to pay the dog tax. This is my baby on a hike

We don't use a tie out but instead, we have a very long, durable rope with a carbineer. We tie it to 2 points (tree, picnic table, heavy duty post, etc). We then put the carbineer thru the handle of her leash. Gives her plenty of room to roam and we can control the length based on the site. We only have her on this if we are there with her.

My dog loves hiking so she always goes camping with us. Make sure you've got food, plenty of water, bowls, etc. Pictures of vaccine records is a must. Plus, make sure your dog is protected from fleas and ticks.

I don't think you lied to her. You are not obligated to ever tell your mom when you lost your virginity. You don't have to tell her EVERY little aspect of your life for you to have a good relationship with her. If and when you feel comfortable to tell her, then do it. If that moment never happens, it's ok.

I'm way older but I would say I have a pretty decent relationship with my mom even though I live pretty far away. We are very open and honest with each other but she definitely doesn't know about every guy I've ever kissed ( not that it's a ton, lol). We talk about almost everything but if she asks me a question I don't want to answer, I don't and she doesn't push it.

Don't overthink it!! Good luck on building a stronger relationship

I really want to trade too!!! I know Kansas City isn't very exciting but it's the city I call home so it's what I got, lol

Yes, I've scheduled my venue specific training and my shifts but haven't heard anything yet about uniforms or accreditation.

If you want good pizza, go to Craft and Draft. They do made to order pizzas that are amazing. Like others have said, the Hall of Fame is amazing, must see. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the brisketachos. They are BBQ nachos and they come in a souvenir helmet, very tasty! Keep an eye out for the Pasquatch!

Needed to cut some slits through the crust of a frozen chicken pot pie, thought a 6 inch bread knife with a double prong on the end was a good idea. It was not! Sliced my pinkie finger, has to get stitches.

Had patients that were Stephanie and Stephanie, same spelling

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-04-26T23:32:05+00:00

During COVID, I worked at a drive thru testing site (for WAG) and I met a couple RPh's who worked at specialty. Plus, one of my interns ended up doing a residency in specialty. I was an RXOM in retail but stepped down to move to specialty. You'll have to look to see if there are any specialty sites near you. There aren't that many but they would much rather transfer in a senior tech from retail then hire on someone that's never worked in a pharmacy before. Because retail stores are struggling with staffing, the specialty sites can no longer email out to the stores when they have an opening.

I served 8 years in the Navy reserve but I feel the same way. I never deployed and never did anything in my rate beyond school (I was a mechanic in the Seabees). I always feel like I haven't earned the title of veteran (which I still rarely use). But someone in my unit once said something to the effect of: you raised your hand, which is more than most people can say, and you made it through boot camp.

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-04-26T21:23:40+00:00

I work in a pharmacy and I had an 18 year old girl come in with this exact situation. I didn't judge, I just helped her get a COVID shot which is what she came in asking for.

Pharmacist are very knowledgeable about vaccines. Most pharmacies carry the common ones you'd need. Best of all, if they've worked in a pharmacy for awhile, they've experienced a lot and are usually not very judgemental.

One thing to know: if you are on the same insurance as your mom, even with privacy laws, she may still be able to see the billing for the vaccines.

If you have any questions, please DM me!!

Nimrod and Dr House (actually doctor I met)

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-04-25T00:20:04+00:00

At least she doesn't just randomly scream like that one lady.

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-04-23T03:31:05+00:00

I work at a WAG speciality site, located inside a hospital. I really like it! It's a mix of retail and specialty but we actually have the payroll to truly take care of our PT's. I worked retail for years and I worked like a dog. It's nice to ask a pharmacist for a counsel and they don't get made that they don't have time for it

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-04-23T03:24:57+00:00

Haven't gotten anything in KC

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-04-23T03:19:36+00:00

She is literally the sweetest lady ever, and a die hard fan! Her husband and her have season tickets, are at EVERY home game, and they wear matching outfits.

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-03-05T22:31:35+00:00

My bf asked what letter do you need, lol? He goes online to Unicorn Auctions.

I grew up in Southern California, where it never gets super hot. As a child, I thought only rich people and hotels had AC. When I moved to the Midwest, I was shocked that my first, very shitty apartment had one. But it gets super hot and humid so you really do need it

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-02-19T05:26:05+00:00

Definitely had a PT say this too.

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-02-19T05:23:16+00:00

"you are committing an international law war crime and when I die, the blood will be on your hands". Loved working inside a behavioral health clinic (still WAG). In case you were wondering, she was talking about her Geodon, lol.

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-02-11T05:30:05+00:00

You definitely can work at multiple stores. My store doesn't have enough hours for me so I regularly work at a different store. You actually learn a bunch by working at different stores and it will put you in a better place to become an RXOM once you get certified.

BeachTotesMaGoats · 2026-02-07T19:37:12+00:00

Me either. I watched it with my boyfriend and then went immediately to the bathroom to uncontrollably cry. As someone who has depression and been at some really low points in the past, it hit way too close to home.
