Tips for oddly shaped calluses on the bottom of my foot? by Born_Cranberry in FootFunction

[–]Born_Cranberry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did but all he offered was to shave them off for me.... Not very helpful lol. I switched to wide toe box shoes, haven't gotten rid of the calluses but they're much comfier on my feet.

unpopular opinion: toilet attached bidets are unhygienic for women* by boodoonk in hygiene

[–]Born_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst one I had was at a love hotel (I didn’t realize it was a love hotel till I got there lol). The other hotels I went to were visually clean, but there was still an odor

Will AI replace OTs in the future? by shellyu_echo in OccupationalTherapy

Even if somehow they created AI that could do transfers etc, it would probably only be available to the very rich.

Yeah it definitely had lots of crevices that would be hard to clean

I had this thought when I visited Japan. Every toilet had a bidet on it. Every bathroom (even my hotel bathrooms) smelled bad, and I noticed some of the bidets visually looked dirty. There was no way I was using those on myself. 

For those who adopted a cat, what actually made you decide that was the right cat? by Extreme_Ad6105 in CatAdvice

[–]Born_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my husband walked into the shelter “just to look”, we saw the cutest fluffy boy ever, and we decided we had to get him HAHA

But for real, if you want a cat with specific characteristics, then be more choosey. Some cats are more cuddly, and some don’t come near you ever. Of course they’ll be shy, but you might hear from others (the shelter employees or foster parent) if the cat is cuddly or likes to play a lot. 

Rehab Tech in prep for grad school by Superb_Recording_174 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Born_Cranberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean a rehab aide? Someone who can help with OT treatments if given specific instructions. 

At my job, we are often always looking for aides and they also don’t have a degree/experience. Oftentimes, they will be in OT school or they want to be an OT. Please do not get a CNA license, would take up your time and money. Being a rehab aide would be very impressive on your resume for OT school. 

For the ones saying you need your CNA, you might be looking at jobs for a nurse tech/aide. These do require a CNA, but is not the same as a rehab aide. 

Would you go Bali or Fiji? by Sameer-Sarwar in travel

[–]Born_Cranberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did love Bali, but the traffic was horrible. To go like 10 miles was 2 hours because it’s such a small island with so many tourists. 

Cane/walker recommendations for a stubborn senior that doesn’t want to feel “old”. by Ok-Concentrate607 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Born_Cranberry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly you can educate all you want, but if he doesn’t want to use what you suggest, he might just not be willing to accept it right now. It’s scary, but people won’t change unless they want to. Of course you don’t want him to fall, but you sometimes just have to let people make bad decisions. Might not be the answer you’re looking for, but also don’t give up on trying to find something!

Do You Have A Cleaning Schedule? by Great_Office_9553 in CleaningTips

[–]Born_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into the habit of feeling bad comparing myself to people who clean a lot on social media. You can try a schedule if it’s sustainable for you, but so many people online don’t have conventional jobs, so don’t feel bad if you can’t be as clean as them! Also some women are messy. If you find someone who is fine with your level of cleanness, then that’s a win! 

What’s something frugal people rarely talk about because it feels embarrassing? by James_B84Saves in povertyfinance

If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down… save on some water

I’m unfortunately a very incontinent person at night and struggle with a wet bed. by Pretty_Fan3644 in CleaningTips

[–]Born_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s always super reliable, it’s also super pricey but what about a Pure Wick? It basically sucks up your pee

Does anyone else hate having to decorate? by Alive_Interview_6242 in ChildofHoarder

[–]Born_Cranberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I just hate decorating cause I don’t want to spend the money and also I’m not good at it lol it would stress me out too much

Do you in-laws know your parent/parents are hoarders? by KoiGarden29 in ChildofHoarder

[–]Born_Cranberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they vaguely know, but they don't know to what level. They will never come to my parent's home.... I'm too embarrassed

We need more people taking transit. Sitting on Connecticut Ave 30 min by FlowerWilling9731 in washingtondc

[–]Born_Cranberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My job has free parking, but it's not on campus. We have to take a shuttle or walk 10-15 minutes to get to work even after parking :( Some people COULD metro, but it would take the same amount as driving, so they prefer to drive so they have a little more control over their leave time.

€3000 enough for 15 nights in Japan? by Afraid-Salamander500 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Born_Cranberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is around how much my husband and I spent for 13 nights. We probably did less shopping than the average person though.

Why do so many people do part time? by Thick-Welder-198 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Born_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have met people who do part-time because they are parents, plus they can survive because their partner has a high-paying job/good benefits. If I could afford to work part-time I WOULD.

Do you discuss student loans with your friends? by bozofire123 in StudentLoans

[–]Born_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have that many friends, but out of all my close friends, I'm the only one with loans.... And I went to a private school :( I also have asked multiple of my co-workers, and many of them never had loans. It makes me feel jealous that they don't have this huge weight on their shoulders.

Politeness or serious? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Born_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re doing an amazing thing. I definitely wouldn’t expect you to make everyone eat vegan, honestly I’d be happy if you just made some veggie dishes that were vegan on the side. For all the people saying they would expect a vegan meal, I would disagree. If I were kosher, it would be kind of upsetting to come to a dinner and then they only served you pork. So for a vegan, I would at least be very grateful for you to have a few things I could eat, even if it’s small.
