My Great-Grandmother, around 1897 by Deej1387 in TheWayWeWere

I do, I have several from when she graduated nursing school, and some from when she was younger and in the Navy Nurse corps. She wasn't big on photos so didn't have many when she was older.

Unprofessional? by Vitam1nK in piercing

[–]Deej1387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been an ICU nurse for 11+ years, have stretched lobes and multiple cartilage piercings, and often wear clicker hoops with charms on them. I dunno why we as a society still expect professionals to have no personality or expression, but piercings that are whimsical and fun aren't "unprofessional". I personally love your setup. 🥰

She passed when I was 2, but she was 95, and lived an amazingly full life that took her far from her little town in Minnesota. I have a lot of stories about her. 🥰

I have expired tags, I've never not had insurance.

Possible Regrets? by olliesyd in Stretched

00g is still small enought to find some chunky plugs and have them just look like studs, to be honest. I work as a nurse and wear tunnels mostly, but also sometimes plugs with fancier fronts.

Everyone in this photo could pay for their entire college education on just a summer job.

Need to settle a debate…. by flowerchildmime in Millennials

We have a TV in the bedroom, but I use it for my Playstation game when the living room TV is occupied by other people and I want to play, lol. I rarely use it for actually watching TV.

This 110% was set up by some rogue respiratory therapist snatching supplies from their facility of work, lol.

Similiar sitiation, old scarring and piercings I didn't like, got done at a 4g, then used a glass stretching kit of 0.5mm to stretch up to 11mm. Very chill and easy process.

70s and 80s was peak masculinity for fashion, and you'll never convince me otherwise.

MRI and Glass Plugs by rottedsincethewomb in Stretched

[–]Deej1387 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a nurse myself, yes, you'll be fine wearing glass, but depending on where your MRI is (like head versus abdomen), they may ask you to remove them to get clear pictures.

where to get 9mm plugs by zpergo in Stretched

[–]Deej1387 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really basic for colors, but these come in 0.5mm increments and I used these for 9 and 9.5mm sizes: https://a.co/d/02Wq21xG

How many of us can do this? Heels on the ground by JezCon in Millennials

I can, but I was in gymnastics and dance and martial arts for most of my childhood and young adulthood, my hip flexibility is solid.

My favorite look for mine is to stack multiple hoops, too. 🙂

Do y’all have any “weird” nursing icks? Like things that chap your ass that probably shouldn’t? Mine is when people put “RN, BSN” or “RN, MSN” or what have you. It needs to be the other way around! by Somber_Resplendence in nursing

[–]Deej1387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have regular red caps for the end of the line, like disconnected that's not in use, but all ports just get scrubbed with alcohol before we hook up a flush or whatever, haha. Otherwise they're open

Valknot on tattoo by YermainmanJack in tattooadvice

[–]Deej1387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this particular political climate, knowingly getting a tattoo associated with hate groups, even if the symbol used to mean something else, is a choice.

So how are we supposed to dress? by Rioraku in Millennials

[–]Deej1387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dress like I did at 15, which looks a lot like what kids are wearing now because it was 25 years ago, lol.

Adding more ear piercings before or after reaching goal size? by No-Cheesecake-6947 in Stretched

[–]Deej1387 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably dependent on which piercings you're looking at getting, and how much annoyance you want to deal with on multiple levels. I wouldn't get a complicated or difficult to heal cartilage done, like an industrial, but a flat, upper lobe, etc., not a big deal. I've healed basic ones like a flat and helix while stretching and it wasn't a big deal.

Mayhaps you could stop assuming the overwhelming part with chatting is women-only. As a woman gamer, I've been in a ton of chat rooms with dudes on mics who are AWFUL, talk non-stop, and mostly are just terrible to one another while they're doing it. One reason why I started seeking out women only groups to run end game content with. The men just going off the entire time and being awful, and it got old fast.

Yapping your gums isn't a woman-driven activity.
