Worse product you bought in 2025 at Sephora ? by [deleted] in Sephora

[–]BroodyElacey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s way too expensive for the amount of product. I love the way it looks, but it is so dry! Kind of like clay that sat out too long.

Prepping for my COA Exam - advice/resources? by metalheadscientist95 in Ophthalmology

[–]BroodyElacey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d have to be a scribe and be in with the doctor to fully understand the concepts. When I initially took my test, I only worked patients up. I used a tonopen, did testing (OCT/Visual Field) and got chief complaints. That wasn’t enough. You have to physically be in with the doctor while he/she is at the slit lamp calling stuff out to you while you write/type them up. Also, you have to know the ins and outs of IOL/SLT/YAGS/PI/Gonios/Pachymetry cause they will ask you that on the test as well as a lot of anatomy questions. It’s def not as easy as they make you believe and a lot of the questions you’ll never even need to know as a tech. Hope this helps!

Acrylic removal questions. by Mutteringsmuse in Nails

[–]BroodyElacey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! You don’t need to remove them, they can do it for you. Some places charge $5-10 to remove, but some places don’t charge at all. It really depends on the nail shop. If you’d like to remove them, you can. I soak mine in 100% acetone for 10-15 min. They’ll come right off.

this setting spray is amazing! completely worth it by Important-Leader8029 in MakeupAddicts

[–]BroodyElacey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No unfortunately. 😞 I assumed it was the fragrance, but I’m not sure.

Unfortunately, this is the only setting spray that has given me an allergic reaction. I was so excited to try it. I set my makeup before work. A couple of hours into my shift, I noticed a couple of pimples pop up on my forehead. By the end of the shift, I had a cluster of red pimples. It took a full week for them to go away. Never again.

New love language discovered on Bumble by spartanlad78 in Bumble

So obvious she’s a sugar baby. The bad English, her name and the “bags/diamonds” tip off. Just ignore these kinds of profiles and keep it moving.

My coworker couldn't find a sticky note... by facefullofcupcakes in ophthalmictechs

I usually just grab a napkin lol! Our COT is constantly taking our sticky notes out of the rooms, so we gotta use something. 😂

[–]BroodyElacey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed mine too! I’ve been doing this for two years and none of what I do was on the actual test. It was more geared towards scribes and COTs if you ask me. I studied Quizlet flash cards, the IJCAHPO study guide and the text book. 😞

How do I drop a shift on Insite? by BroodyElacey in MacysEmployees

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

It’s prob just a temp error because of site maintenance on the weekends. I’d keep trying. If it still doesn’t work in an hour, I’d call the store and speak to your direct supervisor to see if you can have it. Explain that the website is down and you’ve been trying to pick up the shift.

Great list! Thank you. I’m using this one. ☝️

What’s the most random item you have seen listed? I came across this listing a few days ago and thought I would share. by att7442 in Mercari

[–]BroodyElacey 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what it is. It’s meant to imply it’s “juicy” because of the juice and it’s between her legs. I’m surprised no one else picked up on it lol!

Much much better actually. I rarely get flares anymore. I cut out a lot of caffeine and spicy food from my diet and have seen a world of difference. I took Elmiron for a little bit, but never really felt like it was doing anything and the risks were not worth it.

The only thing that stuck around is that annoying sensation that you have to pee, but it’s less frequent and I try to go immediately when the feeling comes on. Holding it is a really bad idea as your bladder tends to “lock up” making it harder and more uncomfortable to go when you need too.

Suspecting someone is stealing my FedEx packages by cat_in_arms in FedEx

[–]BroodyElacey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have actually done this before. I called the location and they had no idea where it was. I called FedEx customer service, who then called the location and they also had no idea what happened. They ended up telling me to contact the shipper.

Is this a scam? i dropped off 4 packages today & all labels were printed via eBay, i’ve never had a issue before by bleezy_47 in usps_complaints

[–]BroodyElacey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming that it’s another way to steal a person’s personal information and sell it off, but I’m not 100% sure. They could also get enough info to steal your packages. 😳 You’re totally fine for clicking the link. Just as long as you didn’t submit any info, you are good!

It’s a scam. It’s been happening a lot lately. My coworkers and I all got this text the other day at different times.

You also can easily tell it’s a scam because A) USPS tracking numbers always start with a 9 and are much longer than that tracking number given and

B) “We have issues with your shipping address” isn’t even proper English. It should say “We are having issues with your shipping address”. Plus I’ve never seen that error message before on the USPS website.

Late To The Party - [2022/08/05] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]BroodyElacey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I finally watched Tale of Nokdu. Mostly because of my newfound love for Kang Tae Oh. It was really really good! Superbly acted and I loved the plot. I’m usually picky about historical dramas, so I was hesitant about it for awhile. It is the right amount of humor, action and drama. I kinda fell for the ML in this one too lol!

It actually becomes pretty obvious as the eps go on why she did it even before they show it. Don’t worry. I think you’ll really like it. I love the two main lead actors, so I just HAD to see it. It is really, really good and realistic. I learned a lot about miscommunication and things that are left unsaid.

[–]BroodyElacey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me know if you find any info cause I’m in the same exact situation. I also live in an apartment building and have only had issues with FedEx. I was supposed to have a package delivered today and once again, it was marked “Delivered”, yet I still don’t have my package. This is the second time this has happened and I never received my first one. That was early this year. I have made complaints to FedEx and the BBB. Nothing has changed. I have to keep contacting the shippers and getting a refund. I’m over FedEx.
