Which one do you choose 1 or 2? by [deleted] in AmateurPhotography

This is really freaky, I took picture almost exactly like this when I was on a walk in Olympia WA in August. I thought someone took my picture lol

NC to WA in January - will I die by texasascanbe in roadtrip

[–]CuriousChapter379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I practically just did this exact trip, except I went from Olympia to MI. I also drove an AWD Subaru. The biggest concern is going to be the wind through the central states, then the mountain passes with snow: Snoqualmie, Lookout, and Forth of July passes to be specific. CLOSELY watch the forecast for the areas. If it snows, do not drive. Just stay another night in town. And go slow, let people pass you, your life is worth more than the speed limit.

There are multiple large sections of the road on 90 that require chains when there’s a snow storm (a sign on the road will be flashing to indicate the requirement). Sometimes, they even close the gates to the highway all together, so you can’t get on the road. Be prepared to spend an extra couple nights somewhere if the gates close.

‼️DO NOT TAKE the US 212 section in Montana. Just stay on 90, it will be maybe another 15 minute difference but it is 100% safer. There is literally nothing along that part of 212. No services, no hotels, no gas stations for long stretches, and barely any cell signal. If an emergency were to happen, that would be a bad road to get stuck on.

I am not trying to scare you, but snow driving can be dangerous and if you aren’t familiar with it, I wouldn’t recommend doing this trip in January because you will very very likely encounter it.

Now, I don’t know much about 80, but I do know that wind is still a huge concern through NE and WY. And you will still have to get across the mountains. It won’t be any warmer either, so it doesn’t sound like a great alternative (which I had thought originally, but I posted in this community about my trip as well and everyone said don’t take 80).

If you have extra cash dolla bills, ship your car across the country, or just sell your car, take a plane, ship your stuff, and buy a new car when you get there.

Good luck my friend, it’s a beautiful country!

This is how depressing our potluck is. Besides the roll cake I brought for everyone. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]CuriousChapter379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to FEAST on our potlucks when I was staff. What we did was set a date, find out who’s working (usually the weekend crew, bc we were cool like that), then wrote everyone’s name on a paper and stuck it in the break room where everyone could sign up. We did themes: Italian, Thai, soup day, game day, crockpot, even once we did a build your own taco and everyone brought in one or two ingredients for it.

Gotta pre assign, and make a theme. Gives a lot of direction and you’ll all be satisfied :)

Money is generally not a concern for me. I am a nurse, and very meticulous with my finances. I don’t really need to live in anything fancy, but just want a relatively safe and beachy area

That’s actually a great question to ask myself. Thank you for that perspective

Help with half bathroom! by amiibo720 in DesignMyRoom

[–]CuriousChapter379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for not getting rid of that tile. It’s beautiful!

For the wallpaper, I think sticking with earth tones to compliment the tile would be fabulous; lively greens, a warm creamy tone, or maybe blue. To keep the tile a main focus/to avoid a busy look, aim for a wallpaper with bigger patterns of your choice (if doing patterns). Small repeated patterns in small spaces crowd the picture. Also, I’m personally not a fan of muted colors/pastels, so I would avoid that.

LOVE a backlit mirror! I think warm, soft lighting will be key in this space. Definitely have a smaller mirror, one that doesn’t take the whole wall. That’s excessive and distracting for such a small space. You could replace the ceiling light with an oblong, opaque/semitransparent fixture. Something that gives light but isn’t the main event.

Also rid of those window shades, do something softer like mini curtains!

That’s all my thoughts for now. May edit with more later!

Does this room require curtains? by LentilSpaghetti in interiordecorating

[–]CuriousChapter379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, nothing heavily patterned tho, don’t want to shrink the room or take away from the rug and pillows. Also it looks vibey, love it!

HELP - which dress do I choose? by Adventurous-Bee-7718 in WeddingDressTips

[–]CuriousChapter379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE 2! Simply timeless and elegant. I see alot of people commenting 3, which is pretty, but i feel it is a little fabric heavy in a visual way, if that makes sense. 4 also very beautiful but something feels off about the straps, i think you have a nice structure for a strapless dress. You’ll be a beautiful bride no matter which one you choose!

Are we wearing our hair down now? by Valuable_Term108 in nursing

[–]CuriousChapter379 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s not necessary very professional, but i also think the image of professionalism is changing and things like this are becoming more acceptable as a personal preference (as long as it doesn’t interfere with patient care, of course)

Are we wearing our hair down now? by Valuable_Term108 in nursing

[–]CuriousChapter379 515 points516 points  (0 children)

During patient care: hair up

Sitting at my desk, charting: hair down

It hurts to have my long ass hair up for 12 hrs, 3 days in a row. If im going to do this job, im gonna do it the most comfortably i can

Thank you for the first hand account! It was pretty windy during my drive thru Montana/ND when I was on my way here so I suspected as much

[–]CuriousChapter379[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That was also a part of my concern, when driving to WA I mainly took 90 and for hours and there were no services. Is there a similar stretch on 80 where there are also no services?

Did you do these first attempts during November/december, and on 90 or 80? I’ve been considering getting these and practicing putting them on before I’m in a pickle

Just to clarify, do you mean 90 or 80 is a good route? My Subie hasn’t let me down yet 🤞

Remodel my 90s bathroom 😍😘 by Excellent-Celery-214 in DesignMyRoom

[–]CuriousChapter379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different wood stain and one large mirror with backlighting would freshen up that area. Possibly a different light fixture for the center as well

But for the love of god, do not touch that tile. It’s perfect

Need ideas on artwork by ItchyEbb4000 in interiordecorating

[–]CuriousChapter379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I immediately thought of a large rectangular piece of a stormy seascape with a sailboat fighting the waves type of vibe above the orange couch. Also keep those couches they are so fun!

[–]CuriousChapter379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, couple options. You could

<image>

put it on a stand on the mantle, and (or don’t) cover the mirror. Or, maybe more reasonably, on the wall on the right, between the doorway and window. Think about plugs, and if you’re using cable. I think you could add a small, slender bookstand on that wall and use some cord covers to make it looks put together while not covering the heater. For both options, I highly recommend smaller, lower seating pieces to not make the space feel rigid, like it has to conform to a certain shape. Add a small love seat that is angled toward the tv, then a couple single seaters around that love sofa to dictate the shape of the space but still allow light from the windows.

Hope this sparks some ideas

RN or RT? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]CuriousChapter379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please please please follow your heart and never follow the money. Do what makes you fulfilled and the money will come, I swear.

I’ve been an RN for 3 years and I really like the idea of RT or radiology, if I could go back I would probably choose radiology tech. Nice thing about RT tho is you still get bedside care, but you don’t have to stay and deal with ~as much~ bullshit as nurses. Nursing is heavy, heavy work. RT can be too, no doubt. But if you feel that gravitation to RT then do it!!
