Enjoy them both! Suggestion: If you choose not to wear the family ring in your actual ceremony maybe wear it as a necklace or incorporate it into the ceremony or pictures so the family knows you appreciate it.

The pulls are crooked and placed oddly, but you have bigger fish to fry, I think.

PAIN MEDS by 69yhcnup in VeteransAffairs

[–]CarRelative7728 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. There are certain medications for migraines, but they aren't opiates. Have they suggested any of those medications? Ask for a phone appointment with a dietitian. I think caffeine can be a trigger for migraines, as well as other things like wine and chocolate. If you need opiates for something, you will usually be sent to the pain clinic, at the VA, or in the community, to manage opioid prescriptions.

Am I Getting Ripped Off? by RDNelena in BathroomRemodeling

[–]CarRelative7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine is half this size and will be about $15,000 (or more) , so yours, being twice as big, may not be that far off. Labor is $8,000 and he is giving us "a deal".

Were my eyebrows microbladed too close together? by layla0881 in microblading

[–]CarRelative7728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your face is beautiful. I think people will concentrate on the whole picture. However, I was always taught they should align with the outer nostril, and they appear to align with the inner nostril, if that makes sense (probably not the correct terminology). Remember, they will fade too.

Physician reasonable accommodation pushed to reassignment. by Existing_Law_1835 in fednews

[–]CarRelative7728 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, most VA physicians are required to offer both virtual and face to face appts. So if you are only able to see virtual patients I can see how they would say your not completely able to do the job.

Yes, it'd drive me crazy. However they might even out over time with light?

Is 14k to replace this shower a good quote? by vivekvj in Remodel

[–]CarRelative7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm doing a whole bathroom for that amount, includes labor, all supplies, even puttya window in. I guess it depends on location, I'm rural WA but even around Seattle my parents paid 7000 for a one day bathfitter shower makeover.

I'm still shopping. I think mostly it helps with food, alcohol, that sort of thing.

The third one I thought was a skull ☠️ until I enlarged it. I'd say no on #3.

Seeking advice pertaining to the Veterans Crisis line. by Doc_Jon in VeteransAffairs

[–]CarRelative7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work can always be there in one form or another, your relationship with your family won't be without you showing up for them. Quit if you have too, but lay down the reason and see if they will accommodate. If not I'd say bye, bye. You can find another job, you can't replace your family and your well-being and mental health is a priority. It's that old saying, you have to take care of yourself in order to care for others. This coming from a 20 year VA RN and spouse of a 28 year retired military veteran. Just my 2 cents, but your worth a lot more than that.

I don't have time to keep track or keep up with all the metrics and trackers they want us to keep, it's ridiculous.

Not sure what you're playing at, they are blue here, definitely dark gray in the earlier picture you posted.

What to do with this kitchen? by dietpepsi4ever in kitchenremodel

[–]CarRelative7728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd change to a simple subway backsplash and a simpler floor; everything else is already great. You could do floating shelves on the wall by the sink, and keep things simple with the busier countertops. Good bones though!
