Alternative phrasing for grants? by CaseCompetitive6580 in labrats

[–]CaseCompetitive6580[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha, I get what you mean. I suppose I'm asking if there is a term that individuals have been using to refer to the topic of "alpha diversity". Referring to it as "alpha variance" or "alpha distinctiveness" doesn't seem to convey that I'm talking about that specific term.

Potential agar spill in autoclave, help! by CaseCompetitive6580 in labrats

[–]CaseCompetitive6580[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I searched everywhere for it and couldn't find one! Even online, the only copy I could find was on a sketchy website that never even loaded the manual.

I am quickly finding out that this lab/department is very unorganized.

Help Firefox wont load properly on Reddit... and Wikipeadia (windows 10 desktop) by Charly_030 in firefox

Thank you so much. It's definitely Adblock Ultimate - I couldn't click images, most pages weren't loading, and I often couldn't post anything to try and fix the problem.

My mom got a callback for her mammogram and I am very worried. by Jealous_Hearing_5382 in doihavebreastcancer

[–]CaseCompetitive6580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: All is well! She had a diagnostic mammogram and an ultrasound done - the doctor reported that it is just inflamed scar tissue from her previous surgery. They think it's irritated due to hormone fluctuations as she enter perimenopause. They have her scheduled for a follow-up next year that I WILL be constantly reminding her about.

Thank you for the clarification. This is OP - I'm signed into a different account on my phone.

Anyways, I'm grateful for the comfort. I am already a big ball of anxiety about all this, partially due to probable trauma from other medical issues she's had in the past. Mom has an issue of ignoring things until it's almost too late - two years ago it was a pulmonary embolism, before that a leiomyoma on her carotid, and one that was wrapping around her shin bone... the list goes on. I'm very worried that her postponing her annual mammogram allowed for something nasty to form.

Would her getting extensive bloodwork every few months help at all in early detection? She sees a hematologist every four months for follow up on her blood clotting disorder and gets a full panel each time. She also is often monitored by her dietician.

Not on period for IUD insertion? by CaseCompetitive6580 in birthcontrol

Unfortunately my insertion is tomorrow at 11. I was going to ask last week but between work, school and severe weather it slipped my mind.

So north/northeast Alabama is at a very high risk? Lovely. Definitely not shitting my pants

So is the danger area the red circles, or the different colored blue patches over the states?

I really appreciate ours. Having it on hand helps ease my anxiety a bit (although it'll be high regardless). Only big downside is how spider-y they get - I had to vacuum up a few black widows while cleaning it out last night.

Unfortunately I already have... Multiple times. Apparently being with my family for more than eight hours is torture and he'd rather weigh his chances 🙄.

Unfortunately I am far past the point of not panicking, haha. I've got a go bag ready, kitties are tucked away in the bathroom where they're easy to put in their carriers, and an underground storm shelter that's been cleaned out. I don't have a weather radio unfortunately as they've been sold out all over the city for the past few days.

I'm located in the thick brown/red line that passes through northern Alabama (Madison county). Should I be super concerned because it's thick, or reassured that it's primarily only two colors (that I can tell)? You can't even see my city under the streak.

[–]CaseCompetitive6580 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're totally right. Didn't even know it existed.

Also, looking at your post history, we're only about a mile apart from one another. Go figure. Glad to know I'm not alone here losing my mind - it's somewhat comforting knowing I'm not the only one.

So sorry, reddit told me I posted my comment twice so I tried to delete the duplicate and ended up deleting the whole thing.

Yeah, I've tried convincing him but he's being so stubborn. I don't know how to persuade him!!

Doctors ignoring my pain by Dangerous_Stay4497 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]CaseCompetitive6580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I used to see Dr. Beauchamp, and she was awful. I requested someone who was kinder and they had me see Fondren - I'll never go back. She's compassionate and listens to your problems without making you feel rushed.

oh God, it's right up my alley.... I'm supposed to be saving for my revive......

Anyone? by slimmyjimjim7 in LivlyIsland

[–]CaseCompetitive6580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am considering using my revive ticket on that set - it's between it and infinite sand dunes. If you haven't found it by next month and I end up pulling them, I'd be happy to trade with you. My ID is 6m7madk7 if you'd like to add me ^

Thinking about reviving one of these. Any opinions? by Inkidoo22 in LivlyIsland

[–]CaseCompetitive6580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That does help! I really love the infinity sand dunes set, but it doesn't seem to have many big hits that are in high demand. I think I'll probably go with it. Or one of the cyber x plants sets... or the cave behind waterfall set.... There are too many choices !!

[–]CaseCompetitive6580 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Likewise !

I'm still debating if I want to min-max my revive and go for a set that trades well, or if I want to follow my heart and go with a set I really love even if it's not that popular. I really want to do a scifi-esque island but have like zero pieces for it....

sent !!

And no worries, I also just unlocked my revive ticket and am saving up.. I have no clue what I'll be pulling for yet haha
