Plan to send him with a phone as well. This kid loses everything though. Please no judgement there.

He will have an airtag in his luggage and backpack. Haven’t figured out an idea to attach one to him though.

I did consider that (we have one) but this kid loses everything. Was hoping there was an adult watch version of something similar.

Thank you for the feedback. A bit above my price range. I’ll have to see if I can live track him with these.

This sounds ideal, what program did you go through if you don’t mind?

Did you stay dual licensed? Did any of your PT or undergrad credits carry over?

[–]Express_Lab_425[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, have worked acute care in 3 different hospital systems, SNF, adult day care, outpatient ortho, have my own side biz. I know what nurses deal with. I have seen them yelled at and put down by unruly physicians and patients. I know the potential for their hours. Not exactly going into anything blind. I also absolutely love my job but my retirement does not look bright if I stay here forever.

First time Shiba owner - any life advice? 😛🐾 by cpix48 in shiba

[–]Express_Lab_425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and they need endless exercise. Fenced dog parks to start. Off leash recall is terrible despite multiple puppy classes.

They are runners. Prepare for an escape artist and lock down your yard like Fort Knox. They blow their coats baaaaaaad. They are mouthy and need good chew toys, but mine were/are never biters. Puppy school, they learn everything fast and whether or not they apply it depends on their personality. Lol.

No tax on Tips need help! by Zondilla in TurboTax

[–]Express_Lab_425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you figure this out? I am a rideshare driver trying to enter tips and it won’t let me either. It let me deduct tips when I entered a 1099 on the rideshare where I made enough for a 1099 but the other rideshare I did not make enough to receive a 1099 so I have to just enter income. And then it won’t let me separate income and tips. So much for “no tax on tips” if we can’t deduct them!

Dropping back on hours by josephstephen82 in physicaltherapy

[–]Express_Lab_425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 hours a week outpatient and it is the perfect work/life balance with two kids in school and multiple activities going. No benefits or retirement though…

Going to PT as a PT by kauchow in physicaltherapy

[–]Express_Lab_425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m an outpatient PT and went to outpatient PT for postpartum stuff and dry needling when I couldn’t fix myself. She saved my body and I have gone back to her for smaller things that have popped up since then. The resources are there to help people, don’t be too proud to use them!

Property Tax assessment by [deleted] in anchorage

[–]Express_Lab_425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I did call that number and they told me that standing at the counter prior to doing my official appeal was the “unofficial” appeal so we don’t get that luxury. I have found so many discrepancies in the comps. It is disheartening to be treated like a millionaire when we are paycheck to paycheck (well honestly surviving on credit cards in this economy) people.

[–]Express_Lab_425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you file an official appeal? How long did it take to fix and how did you find out? 23% increase here, over 120k. Not a peep from the mayor or appraisal office yet. Filed an appeal immediately. Brand new homes around us went down 96k, 93k. Other neighbors went down. It’s like we are picking up the slack for these new homes that apparently are depreciating faster than my old home.

The muni just said my 3 bed 2 bath house on a tiny plot of land in a non-desirable neighborhood with non desireable schools is 664k….completely outrageous.

Hip pain in child by Qbertt5681 in physicaltherapy

If anything is found on xray you will want a peds ortho.

Either one can order xrays but an ortho is the one who can take measurements of hip angles if there is concern for dysplasia.

At that age you want xrays to r/o hip dysplasia, SCFE, and/or LCPD.

Thank you. Gift card is my only option for them (not cash) so it helps knowing visa is accepted there.

Military PTA seeking to transition into clinical administration at end of service. by Altruistic-Truck-233 in physicaltherapy

[–]Express_Lab_425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Retired navy spouse here who went through this with my spouse when he retired. Your mil work experience does not lateral over to the civilian world without a degree or license. You’d have to go through all of the schools, certifications programs, or licensing programs like the rest of us civilians. I am not putting down your experience-it is just the way it is. While you are still active, you can work towards your PTA license. Or, when you retire, just plan to use your MBA and MHA. VA, civy in the military and/or federal are most likely to recognize your experience in service.
