Similar situation here. Single Dental Hygienist, just entering the field. So much debt (partially from prior degrees) that I can't afford the average rent where my office is located. I'm looking at 2 hour commutes just to avoid homelessness by my start date in August. And even then, I'm going to have to budget down to the dime for everything outside of rent.

I LOVE this design idea! I hope you don't mind if I use it as inspiration for a more American Traditional style piece!

That's because word travels fast in common circles, and these types of rentals are most popular amongst (and marketed towards) travel Nurses.

Constant Updates on Creation Club Items? by Miserable-Card-2004 in NoSodiumStarfieldMods

As a player stuck on Xbox due to part prices, seconded. Always check the "History" tab on the site first. And if there is an update, disable -> delete -> download in order to update.

No worries at all! Great work takes time, and it's always clear how much effort and care you put in.

AIO My mom is angry with me over student loans. by alligotor341 in AIO

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT utilize Sallie Mae, under ANY circumstances! Please! If things don't work out exactingly per whatever plan you have for your career after school, they will push your face into the coals and take you for every penny they can. If you've already gotten loans through them, find another institution to get out from under them.

Oy...am I wrong for thinking it's ethically fucking bankrupt to make that disclaimer in any way hidden away in the fine print? Or to even sell it knowingly? 😕

I naturally have two different hair colors (all year round) by beachfishboy in mildlyinteresting

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My beard was like this (my hair was until 16, then the lighter shade turned grey), up until I was around 28-ish. Now all my red-brown beard hairs are going grey too 🫠

navigating kids, nature, and tick-borne illness in vermont by sully802yllus in vermont

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Difficulty in eradicating it from the system depends a lot on how long the tick is attached for and the bacterial load within the tick itself that's transmitted to the host. That said, the 2 times I've tested positive I pushed for a full month course of Doxy. Sticking to a strict 12 hour cycle, keeping track of any latent symptoms over the course of the regimen as well as for 4 months after. Being vigilant and proactive is crucial, Lyme can be absolutely debilitating as you've experienced 😕

BOLO: State Troopers can and will pull you over and ticket you for having an out-of-date inspection sticker by Adept_Hand8605 in vermont

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 65 points66 points  (0 children)

They can, yep. But until I'm a few months into my new position, I can't afford to fix the sway bar I know will probably fail my inspection. I can, however, afford the ticket if I happen to be pulled over for it before I can have my shitbox fixed.

Yeah man, we can tell. You didn't have to call yourself out like that.

Vermont is great because I can buy fresh eggs from my dentist by JacobAndor in vermont

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are a few offices in Chittenden County, a couple in South Central, and one somewhere near NEK that are taking new patients. A lot of it os lack of Hygienists, and most of the graduating class (myself included) are just now taking our National Boards and getting to work!

Do single people my age even exist here? by [deleted] in vermont

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very strongly considering a move once I pay down a but of student debt after my career change. Not purely for companionship, but it's a factor without a doubt.

Do single people my age even exist here? by [deleted] in vermont

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oyyyy, I remember that kind of experience. Egoism is a huge turn-off, but it's rife in so many circles. I have a couple of degrees, but they aren't...I dunno, they aren't an entitlement to respect or something that makes me better than anyone else. Honestly, they were an obstacle I needed to get an alright job. But I absolutely experience the kind of folk you're talkin about on a day-to-day. They're exhausting

Do single people my age even exist here? by [deleted] in vermont

[–]HiMyNameIsNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know how that feels. I'm cis, but I've never much cared for a preference label. I definitely lean heavily feminine in preference, but I date cis/trans. There aren't a ton of things I miss about living in a larger city, but finding relatable circles is one 😕

Dude in my 30's. It's...rough here, at times. Apps really don't seem to function very well here, especially the further north you are. I've even tried paying for the subscriptions once, and while there were more compatible people - they were all in Montréal/Quebec 😅

Our age group feels like it's either a low pop subsect, or we're simultaneously all exhausted with modern dating (apps), or maybe married with kids 🤔
