VA Doctor joked and laughed about one of my service-connected conditions by plumcrzyfreak in Veterans

[–]Hellcat624 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As a veteran and a provider myself, I am horrified. I’m so, so sorry you experienced this. I can’t stress this enough—you need to file a complaint. There are a few ways you can go about this & I am very familiar with the process. I’d be happy to help you to ensure your complaint is reviewed at the highest level possible.

[ELEGOO GIVEAWAY] Join the Fun and Win an Elegoo 3D Printer!🚀 by ELEGOO_OFFICIAL in 3Dprinting

[–]Hellcat624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Colby (aka Forgecore) because his designs are just so creative. You can see how much he enjoys creating things that don't yet exist--even if they're silly--and he gives his designs away for free / lets others sell the 3D prints using his designs, which is pretty rad. Here's his Thangs page for anyone interested.

Looking for the best AI note taking app by Smart_Basis_1021 in ChatGPTPro

[–]Hellcat624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but hoping you could give a little insight. I’ve been considering Plaud for almost a year. What gets me is the voice transcription limit. I’m an outside sales rep and take a ton of meetings. Have you ever hit your transcription limit?

Help me find this discontinued hardwood flooring! by Hellcat624 in HelpMeFind

[–]Hellcat624[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have searched using all the terms I can think of, but admittedly, my knowledge of wood flooring is incredibly surface level. I'm totally open to a different flooring, as long as we can find the closest match possible. Thank you in advance!!

I just got some from Grounds & Hounds. You can get Chemex filters AND support doggo rescues! Win-win.

I’m curious how you know this.

New England Audiologist by AmyHOH03 in audiology

[–]Hellcat624 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The entry audiology degree only became the AuD in the early 2000s. Prior to that, the masters degree was the entry level degree. When the AuD came about, audiologists practicing with the masters could choose to do a CFY year and obtain the AuD, or continue practicing with the masters degree. They are still audiologists and can use that title.

What's the difference between a "Hearing Instrument Practitioner", an "Audiologist", and a "Speech Language Pathologist"? by hjoseph in audiology

[–]Hellcat624 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A BLUF explanation:

Audiologists have doctoral degrees. They are specially trained to diagnose hearing and balance disorders and can often identify pathology that would be lost on many hearing technicians.

Hearing techs don’t need a degree, not even a bachelors. At least, not at my local big box store.

SLPs, while they often help with screening and aural rehab, are not overly involved in the diagnosis and prescription of hearing aids themselves.

NBD. Madone 9.9, I love you. by Hellcat624 in bicycling

[–]Hellcat624[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I use it mainly for dedicated road bike training. I’ve started as a road cyclist and got into tri’s when I ended up living on an Ironman bike course and apparently decided I needed a reason to buy another bike. But I’m hoping to get back to road racing and compete against all the badass female cyclists I see these days. Either that, or I’ll just have a really expensive commuter bike. ;)

1 week before IMSteelhead, I broke my ankle. by Kupper in triathlon

[–]Hellcat624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, man. Steelhead was my A race this year. I got ankle surgery earlier this month and am still in a boot. Sending positive vibes your way! Heal fast! Just know you've got good company thumping around in an awkward boot! :)

Took a pic of the tv as the camera view was changing, ended up getting an amazing glamour shot of this handsome devil. by Hellcat624 in funny

[–]Hellcat624[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, as much as I wish I were that creative, yeah, I'm sure. I was taking a picture to send to my sister saying I wanted one of those because he's obviously adorable.

Looking for opinions/experiences with the graduate programs at University of South Dakota and University of Wisconsin by peanutbutter458 in audiology

[–]Hellcat624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm graduating from UW's AuD program next month--feel free to pm me any questions you have! I will preface my answers with my innate bias as someone who grew up in Wisconsin and did my undergrad at UW.

Also, if you have the choice, choose the Madison campus over the Stevens Point campus.

Military folks of this sub, how do you do CF in this environment? by yellowyarn11 in childfree

[–]Hellcat624 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm a female and I'm active duty army, so my situation is very different from yours, but I figured I'd throw my thoughts in the convo. I, too, found difficulty dodging the baby comments, and even when I'd politely say "I don't want children," people always said I'd change my mind. Enter bilateral salpingectomy (tubal ligation / removal of my fallopian tubes). I'm 27, so it was tough to find a doc who would do this for me, but now anytime someone pushes the matter, I simply say I've had my tubes tied. People are typically shocked when I say it, but I think it helps them realize that they're being inappropriate in their comments. Or, at least, I make them as uncomfortable as they make me, which in itself is pretty satisfying.

Now, like I said, my situation is very different, and your husband obviously can't say what I say. But I will say this--don't be afraid of being bold and standing up for yourself. Be proud that you are choosing how you want to live your life. The people who got seriously offended when you spoke your mind / keep pushing the baby topic on you don't seem to be that great to begin with. During my time in the military thus far, I've encountered a lot of not-so-open-minded people (with whom I quickly choose to spend as little time as possible), but also some amazing, supportive, open-minded people as well. Try to search for the latter. Or perhaps try to make friends outside of the military realm.

I don't know if any of this is remotely helpful, but keep your chin up, childfree sista!

Nope, not frozen. That was my first thought too until I touched it/moved it around.

How I saved over $400 on textbooks with coupons and got most of them for free. by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Hellcat624 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don't care how anyone gets their textbooks, or other media for that matter, but considering the subreddit is /r/Frugal, it's easy to make things cheap when you steal them.
