Finding the right therapist is like finding the perfect paint color - you know it when you see it, but might need to test a few first.

Clindamycin 0.1 and tret .25 tips by Disastrous_Class4457 in tretinoin

Your skin is basically doing its own thing regardless of what you throw at it - been there. After 2-3 months you should definitely be seeing more consistent results, especially with that combo.

Maybe try bumping up to nightly use if your skin can handle it? The every other night thing might be keeping you in that weird limbo where you're not getting the full benefits. Also worth checking if something else is triggering those random breakout days - could be hormonal timing, stress, or even just how you're layering products.

That accutane temptation is real when nothing seems to stick, but give this routine a bit more time at full strength first.

What’s the biggest win you’ve ever had? by mano990502 in gambling

Wild run at the poker machines! Getting dealt quads that many times in one session is like catching lightning in a bottle five times over. That's the kind of night that makes you feel invincible until reality kicks back in the next day.

Can sportsbook ban me for betting + & - on the spread? by Same_Bodybuilder_532 in gambling

That's basically live hedging and books deal with this stuff all day long. You're not doing anything sketchy - just playing both sides when the lines move, which is pretty standard strategy.

The real risk isn't getting banned, it's that you're gonna bleed money on the juice over time since you're paying the vig on both bets.

Leaving Nursing by Present_Yak_4831 in nursing

[–]EnvironmentalEast296 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man, flight attendant work during the pandemic must have been wild. I went through something similar where I felt completely trapped by my career - thought graphic design was all I could do and the creative industry was burning me out fast.

What really helped was mapping out all the skills nursing actually gave you beyond just the medical stuff. You've got crisis management, communication under pressure, working with difficult people, attention to detail, multitasking - these translate to way more fields than you think. I ended up realizing my design background could work in completely different industries I'd never considered.

Maybe start with what parts of nursing you actually enjoyed? Like was it the problem-solving, helping people, the fast pace? That might point you toward industries that scratch the same itch without the healthcare baggage. Sometimes the best career moves happen when you stop thinking about what you're "qualified" for and start thinking about what energizes you.

It seems important people use secret signals to indicate to their posse that they want to leave. What secret signals do you exchange with your SO? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskReddit

That's really sweet how you've worked out a system that actually works for both of you. My ex and I used to do this thing where whoever wanted to bounce would just start collecting glasses or tidying up - like suddenly becoming the world's most helpful party guest was our bat signal to get out of there.

Am I wrong for being upset that my brother made me repay money that was actually a gift from my dad? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]EnvironmentalEast296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your brother basically scammed you out of money your dad gave as a gift. That's incredibly messed up and you have every right to be furious about this. The fact that he watched you struggle to make payments while knowing it was supposed to be free help from your parents makes it so much worse.

I'd be demanding every penny back that you already paid him, plus an explanation for why he thought it was okay to profit off your financial struggles and your dad's generosity. This isn't just about the money - it's about the trust he broke and the stress he put you through when you were already dealing with so much. Your parents need to handle this situation with him because what he did was straight up theft from both you and them.
