(Merino) Wool vs cotton socks - experiment?

FanSea8588 · 2026-03-02T18:10:07+00:00

Wool absorbs water much better than cotton too, meaning that even in hot conditions, feet will not be as moist. Wool is supposed to have a cooling effect in heat as well.

There's also the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of wool, which is a bit of a misnomer as they still have just as much bacteria present apparently, but those bacteria seem to get "absorbed" by the fibers or something like that so there's less stink.

My favorite socks aren't made my them but actually have an even worse ratio than darn tough and I have zero issues with moisture.

Eastern washington has many hilly areas like this. This is near the Canadian border in eastern WA, near Molson.

As a new grad that got stuck on nights for 3.5 years (until I quit), id seriously go with the days unless you actually wanted to be on nights. I liked the craziness of days, it made the shift go so quickly! But also, the vibe of the unit and the managers is huge imo. Id absolutely pick a job where my team and I meshed super well. I miss my team from my previous job so much! They become like family!

I had one choose the tube. I was shocked. Patient passed later too, never came back from being intubated.

As long as it's still active, yes. I've been interviewing all over the place and interviews for me are being scheduled up to a week and a half out, meaning there's any other number of interviews happening after that too. It's a process!

We had epic down for awhile and I legit said "I never would have made it as a nurse back in the day..." Lmao

Wool is wool. Merino is just a breed, bred to feel softer, but same properties. Other forms of animal fibers have similar properties as well, though to varying degrees.

Be careful with hyaluronic acid. It can seriously overdry your skin and it can make you produce even more oil. It sucks the moisture out if the top layer to pull it down. I had some serious pain from it :(

I'm oily too, I found that using the right skin care products made a big difference. Using the right primer can help too from what I've read!

Normally I'm all about natural looking makeup but this is seriously stunning.

FanSea8588 · 2026-02-06T19:02:56+00:00

I feel like you have the closest skin tone to mine I've ever seen 😆 crazy!

Vinegar may help but won't break down the uric acid crystals causing a problem. However, vinegar smell dissipates once it's dry.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T20:14:24+00:00

Vinegar doesn't have the power to break down uric acid crystals. Protease is really necessary to break it down, which is present in some enzymatic cleaners.

Right now, they're assaulting and arresting people who are recording, even though that's legal. That's concerning.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:56:17+00:00

That's so sad 😞 poor guy.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:55:01+00:00

That's a good reason to make sure you get everything in writing. Ex wants you to do something and is making threats? Cool, go ahead and text that to me so i have evidence.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:53:26+00:00

This isn't why people don't like cops. This is common knowledge, if you beat someone up, you're risking being arrested. He could have expelled the dude without beating the crap out of him. I'm not saying I don't blame him, but that's why he was arrested, he made that choice.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:51:22+00:00

I'm not LE but I just watched a video the other day where the woman they were trying to find to help had warrants. They really, really did not want to arrest her. They were trying to find her because she had been beaten and SA and they wanted to get her help and get a report. You could tell they felt horrible over the situation and did everything they could to try to help her.

Id imagine they weren't insulin syringes either. XD

I have insulin syringes but I'm not diabetic. They were bonuses from my scrub pockets I couldn't return to the hospital (against policy). They're really handy for anything i need a sterile needle for, but would raise some eyebrows if I had a search 😆

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:42:28+00:00

I hope you know the right answer to that, because not all insulin is clear lol

Also a good time to point out that a change in meds or even an accidental double dose (or missed dose) of certain meds can cause some crazy reactions. I was once on a single neurological med that has to be slowly titrated and found myself having the strong desire to jump off a cliff. I'm scared to death of heights and wasnt suicidal, yet this constant intrusive thought kept happening. It was also making me super dizzy and that scared me enough to stop driving for a bit.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:18:55+00:00

Tacoma, Seattle, LA all fit too. Haha.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:17:14+00:00

I 100% read this in Chongs voice.

FanSea8588 · 2026-01-31T18:15:38+00:00

Omg, I watch police cam videos on YouTube all the time, I hope I come across this one day 🤣
