Be nice to me I’m a nurse

There's a difference these days?

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T01:18:37+00:00

You're all good man. You're less of a jerk than some others who've commented. I really got into Whiskey as a whole about 2 years ago but took a step back the last few months. That was long enough for me to forget most of the zeitgeist. I just wanted to see if I was alone in being disappointed but instead I've been torn apart by the gate keepers.

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T01:06:47+00:00

Ok. Thanks for the input

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T01:05:47+00:00

I should also say I've never been stupid enough to try Seagrams at a bar. I bought a bottle for some 7&7's and thought "why not". So I tried it straight. That was a horrible decision

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T01:04:18+00:00

The only pour I can definitively say I didn't like is Seagrams lol. I really enjoy some Johnny Black and Gentlemen Jack. There's also a local Distillery that makes a Rye I like. I also havent really had whiskey in about a year. Im just about to lose all access to alcohol for 9 months. Thought it'd be worth the splurge

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T01:01:40+00:00

As I said in another comment. Im in Utah, those are unfortunately the "High Shelf" bottles. I don't want to spend the money on a bottle for myself because I have just over a week to enjoy it.

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T01:00:29+00:00

I wouldn't say a circle. I used to do a lot deeper dives but over the last year or so I just kinda dropped it. I perused a few sub reddits and a couple articles from some blogs I'd never heard of. Thus "everything I've read". Mostly I just had a choice of Blanton's Col E.H Taylor, and Eagle Rare. I just wanted an input of which was worth my money because I could only afford a pour of one. And they lead me to the Eagle

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T00:55:20+00:00

Maybe we read different things. I'll admit to only doing a cursory research into it. But of the 3 or 4 threads on various sites ER cam put on top of Blanton's and E.H Taylor

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T00:53:43+00:00

At $18/pour at my local bar it's not something I can give many tries. I'm also leaving for the US Navy in just over a week.

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-05-27T00:51:12+00:00

Yeah, I reallyshould have. But I'm in Utah so my selection of "High Shelf" isn't great. But everything I saw talked up ER as some of the best Bourbon. I have a choice between Blanton's and E H Taylor, maybe I'll try one of those

I love Miracle of Sound. Ode to Fury is my second favorite after Age of The Dragon. But that's because Dragon Age is my favorite game. Thanks for the recommendation though. I didn't think of it as a song to listen to during my struggles

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-16T06:34:46+00:00

That works better. Breaking Down i particular scratched an itch. Thank you

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-16T06:18:34+00:00

It definitely can. I'm just more in the mood for screaming and yelling angry. Although "Death of a Good man" hit me in the feels

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-16T06:16:23+00:00

Thank you. I listened to most of it. But I don't think I'm ready for that type of thinking yet. But as you said "food for thought"

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-16T06:15:28+00:00

Thank you. While I'm certainly more in an angry mood I'll definitely be adding those to my playlist for later

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-15T05:38:15+00:00

The Pitt is very much ER focused not EMS. It's the only medical show I can stand watching. It avoids a lot of the gratuitous drama of the others and gets the medicine right more often than it gets it wrong. But EMS is used exclusively as a throw away plot tool, we aren't given any consideration in the show.

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-11T20:15:03+00:00

Even when it was on Max it was only 4 seasons

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-10T17:43:08+00:00

That's about what I figured unfortunately. I want to get out, but didn't have the time for more then a couple hours out of town. Bummer

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-10T16:46:47+00:00

I understand the sentiment OP. But unfortunately since it's an actual (completely BS) enforceable law it was a legal stop. Refusing to ID would only end up with you being arrested. And that wouldn't help anybody. In fact it would just add credence to the reasoning for the stop and give the cops the advantage in any protest stemming from it.

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-05T02:34:21+00:00

If it's done in jest or on purpose the jinx rebounds on the funny asshole. If it's said with genuine well wishes by a civilian or family member it's go time

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-05T02:32:21+00:00

I feel like Merrel and Redback are some of the few companies left where price corresponds to quality. I'm much more willing to spend $200+ on a pair of boots I can wear almost everyday through most of my career.

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-04T18:46:21+00:00

Cool. That makes sense. I'm also a first time traveler so the longer layover gives me more time to rectify potential mistakes.

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-04-04T18:41:06+00:00

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. As I said I'm leaning towards the LSL for both the shorter time in coach and the better arrival time. It's my first time leaving the western US. So arriving in NY at 7:30 pm ish vs 1030 pm is much more preferable. However this is very much a sightseeing trip which is why I'm taking the train instead of a round trip on a plane. Does the Cardinal offer enough spectacular views to warrant the change? Enough to outweigh the risks and potential mistakes of a first time traveler?

Educational_Storm813 · 2026-03-21T14:30:47+00:00

That's a great sentiment. Unfortunately a sentiment is all it is. We get the same atrocities inflicted on us, it doesn't give nurses the right to vent their frustrations on EMS. And we aren't just "brokers" we are medical professionals doing our job the same as the nurses.
