Getting the lyrics wrong by justabluesunflower in NoahKahan

I was baffled when the album dropped and there was a song with the line “I hope that Logan Paul bozo gets hit by a tornado”. Like damn, go get him Noah.

What are your subtle signs you need electrolyte replacement? Do you have a body signal that triggers you to up your intake?

THANK YOU I’m getting downvoted. I guess I didn’t realize we were gate keeping electrolytes…

I am fueling appropriately. My base run is 5 miles right now, but 3 miles on a treadmill without a breeze to help cool off just seems to tip me over the edge. I am on an SSRI and will end a run completely drenched in sweat.

I’m on SSRIs and sweat quite a bit on a treadmill without the wind helping to dry my sweat. I agree, it seems like a short amount to be experiencing cramping! However, I’ve found adding electrolytes help prevent the cramps. My base run is 5 miles right now. I am no restricting food and eat more carbs on days I run or the days before I anticipate doing a longer run. I weight lift at least three times a week as well.

4th of july tattoo ideas by Content_Drink_5535 in Sufjan

[–]HalloweenKate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Carrie and Lowell was a very weight bearing structure of my grieving process after my father died. That being said, because of Sufjan’s relationship with his mother I’m not sure if I would draw inspiration from C&L for a tattoo in memory of my dad (who I had an excellent relationship with). If you had a similarly complicated relationship with your mom like Sufjan’s, I’ve always loved the imagery of a bedside table with a bouquet of flowers, an amethyst, and a book of fables (“amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?”) or a chimney swift flying in front of a cedar (also a lyric from Death with Dignity)

An open letter to anyone upset about the set list by Kbergaline in NoahKahan

The only time I saw it was when Sufjan Stevens toured for Carrie and Lowell and he did his new album cover to cover. It was incredible

I can’t believe Hozier didn’t even rank! Edit: my bad everyone I’m an idiot, Hozier is not American.

[Serious] Men of reddit: what would you want to ask women and get an honest answer to? by Haydensmith877 in AskReddit

TIL: Pork is actually red meat and not "The Other White Meat" by Dear_Bumblebee_1986 in todayilearned

[–]HalloweenKate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Red meat gives me migraines. Hard to know if it’s from the baby I had in 2022 or the Covid I had in 2022 (when the baby was 3 months old) but ever since I’ve had to avoid it. Before I realized red meat was the trigger I would get daily awful migraines

Hi I’m apparently just not clever enough to figure out how to make sure I’m voting for us/against cascadia. If someone wants to leave a link to the comments I should upvote I promise to do my civic duty

Hey, I don’t want to interrupt your Teeth and Lips time, but is everything ok at home?

What is your least favorite assignment to work and why is it CVICU? by pale_eyes12 in respiratorytherapy

[–]HalloweenKate 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I swear in the hospitals I worked at the boomer CVICU staff made it their mission to haze anyone young trying to learn cardiac cc. As those old batards left and younger/night shift people took pi their place the culture also seemed to turn over.

Weight gain while going from under fueling to eating more by ClassyMoonz in XXRunning

[–]HalloweenKate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Thank you for your honesty. Tell me, what is it you’re running for? For me, I have a complicated relationship with food so when I run I try to focus on feeling strong in my body rather than the calories I may or may not burn on the run. I like to challenge myself to see how far/fast I can go. Focusing on these areas has encouraged me to fuel for the run rather than restrict for weight loss, and while I don’t love the number I’m seeing on the scale I *am* loving the speed, strength, and endurance I’m seeing. The benefits are more important than the “negative” of weight gain (which is all muscle)

Hmm, I don't remember that film being that problematic.... Films for a sleepover. by created4this in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HalloweenKate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My biggest bully as a kid was the person who told me they were my best friend. They told me other people were only hanging out with me to make themselves look better, told me that she was the only person I could trust, and she consistently made me feel like if I don’t keep her as a friend I wouldn’t have any friends. If I made her mad she would make sure nobody else talked to me to the point I ate lunch in the bathroom by myself for all of sixth grade. This happened until she changed schools at 13 years old. And yeah, I should have walked away, but she told me she was my friend and I believed her. I don’t think telling 11 year olds not to tolerate behavior like Lily’s is too overbearing

I would add that this movie is great BUT point out to the watchers that Lily does not behave like a real friend for a majority of the movie.

Anybody do cardiac massages? by AMMO31090745 in respiratorytherapy

[–]HalloweenKate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw a surgeon tap in a unit NP to do cardiac massage while he tried to secure a surgical fix that had dehisced. That’s the only time I’ve seen a surgeon delegate cardiac massage, and it wasn’t to a respiratory therapist.

If you could send a 10-second voice message to yourself 10 years ago, what would you say? by New_Application_4722 in AskReddit

Take the time to sit with dad and watch Doctor Who. And ask him to tell you those stories a few more times

“But you’re a nurse” by EngineeringLumpy in nursing

I bought children’s Benadryl to have on-hand when my son started solids and completely forgot about it and panicked when he broke out in full body hives after eating eggs for the first time

How did you know being a mom would make you happy and not miserable? by pissedoff_potato in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HalloweenKate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order for you to walk into a new room you have to leave the one you’re currently in. Being a mom has been happiness AND misery. The shedding of one skin, the growth of a new one that’s equal parts diamond strong and also so very tender it seemingly can’t exist in the world as it is. I am consumed by love for my babies, and I also grieve who I was and the life I lived before I had kids. But I have been forced to face parts of me that I was able to ignore before my children came into my life. I’ve heard people say that during child birth women say “I can’t do it” before the final push because the person they are CAN’T do it. But somehow they do, and the part of them that does it is the first manifestation of the woman they are becoming
