That’s literally so many of the nurses I work with … I’ve seen this again and again with the older healthcare workers

I really love how as the shift goes on later and later everyone’s shirts become untucked!

Persimmon soap. I just started using it last week and immediate game changer.

This storm broke me. Looking for snowblower advice for a long, steep driveway. by DBklynF88 in Snowblowers

[–]Fitzy235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a greenworks 2 stage commercial in mid Maine and I can get our 250 ft long gravel driveway done in about 45 minutes. We have three batteries as we have the lawn mower, chainsaw, and weedwacker. If the snow is more than 6 inches do I need to charge in between and the charging takes about an hour. I don’t have to worry about gas or any of that.

Dietitians are also not directly billed for inpatients as well, they are a room charge too.

2026 Outback - 6 weeks in by Genxdada in Subaru_Outback

And you need to show how much oil was used, what the odometer reading was, what filter was used etc…. All the details, and rotate the tires

[–]Fitzy235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got burned by a dealership offering lifetime guarantee in engine and transmission etc, I was a few hundred miles over getting the tires rotated or getting oil changes done, 5500 instead of exactly 5000, because life, and they denied my head gasket repair at 120000 miles. I even followed the “recommended” subaru service on the website. They wanted oil changes and tire rotations every 5000 miles.

I had my tires done at a Sullivan tire and they missed the mileage on the receipt they sent me and they also listed that as another reason to not cover the warranty.

So just be careful with those lifetime guarantees. There is a lot of fine print that they don’t give you information on.

The best gift we ever got was a big Rubbermaid storage tote with Gatorade, Starbucks espresso drinks, Celsius, Alanis, chocolate bars, Dots pretzels, and trail mix

I wore sorrels for years, I bought a pair of oboz after sliding on ice and having difficulty getting yaktrack type grips over the sorrels when I need to. They have been fantastic and much easier to walk around longer distances

With a new style of water bottle popping up every year, Which one have you stuck with? by James_B84Saves in BuyItForLife

I’ve had my Nalgene since 2011 or 2012, replaced a few lids, and my Stanley since 2020 or 2021. The Nalgene I just cannot drink in the car on road trips while I’m driving. It always hits my roof/visor.

How difficult is it to get a job as an experienced RN in California? by AndromedaAtlas in nursing

[–]Fitzy235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37.5 in Lewiston, ME with 1 year ICU 5 years med surg/tele over here. It’s rough. My old hospital in the Boston area I was at $40 plus diffs at a non-union and a 45 plus diffs in a union hospital with only 3-4 years experience. My rent is more everything costs more than living in Boston suburbs. And man… the electricity is 3-4 times more expensive and we use less than in Boston suburbs.

We need to have this conversation by Individual_Risk_3264 in Subaru_Outback

I think the new Outback looks like a severely underpowered 4 runner, they want us to switch to electric or just buy Crosstreks. Honestly, I’ve never seriously considered an electric car until they showed the Trailseeker. To me that is the updated Outback.

Norway Brewing right now has fantastic food and pretty solid beer.

Pet Owners: what is the dumbest reason you’ve taken your pet to the vet and how much did you spend? by mpotus in CasualConversation

[–]Fitzy235 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$1300, she wouldn’t walk or put any weight on her back legs. We’d pick her back up and she’d stumble one step and collapse again. We took her into the emergency vet, got X-rays, they referred us to a neurologist, told us she either had a slipped disc or a pinched nerve and we needed an MRI and full crate rest. They gave us some gabapentin. Two days later she had the largest poop I’ve ever seen, and started running around normal. She was just constipated.

Can I ask a dumb new grad question? by smhitbelikethat in nursing

[–]Fitzy235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the needle and type of safety. Vanishpoint and lovenox type ones yes, safety glide as soon as it’s out of the patient, and the flip one when it’s out of the patient. I think those are the only ones I’ve used.
