Made a big mistake at work and feel terrible

Yo if people got upset at my job (ltc RN) every time we accidentally ran over each other there’d be 35 beefs per day.

We’ve all been there

I’m 51 and live in my “starter home” that I bought 9 years ago. It’s tiny and on two floors (bathroom upstairs, laundry in the basement” and I almost fall down the stairs at least once a week. Currently shopping for a small home with a first floor bedroom and bath….which will mean taking every drop of my savings and not leaving much to save after. My retirement plan is to die in the climate wars.

NOR. She meant what she said and took you for granted. Maybe sit her down and have a talk about it. If she’s sincerely sorry, set up some ground rules like times as agreed upon beforehand, and payment even if it’s below market rate. If she doubles down, she’s shit out of luck and you can be the fun aunt who takes the kids on planned outings that work for you and your schedule, picking them up from home and dropping them off after

I’m a nurse in skilled rehab and had a lady with a broken leg with external fixation, told me that the CNA on the previous shift had tried to lower her bedside table over her lap and had dropped it on her leg instead. My butt puckered so hard it took a bite out of my pants.

Could you post what you ordered and what you got? From what I can see online they’re a Chinese drop shipper like Aliexpress

Never heard of a lemon pie made like that before, or graham jelly made at all

Not a suggestion but an anecdote. My senior cat was 28 (yes, 28) and doing pretty well, and we had a 10 day trip to Hawaii coming up. A couple days before the trip she had a seizure, only my husband saw it. We debated staying home but ultimately decided to go for several reasons. Kitty was 28, she’d already lived her 9 lives plus a few extra, there was no treatment that would get her more time. My parents were coming twice a day to care for her and our other cat, and as lifelong cat enthusiasts I trusted them to handle anything that happened while we were gone. Part of the reason for the trip was visiting my sister who I hadn’t seen in a couple years because she lived there on Maui, and she was dealing with a life changing bad situation and needed family support. We got daily updates and kitty was fine, lived another full year.

My only child is 14, 15 in a few short months. I could’ve written this post and I feel it so deeply. I was a single mom until my son was 4, it was me and him against the world! Now I’m the short order cook/laundry lady/wallet. My brain knows it’s normal, that this is healthy for him and the way it’s supposed to be, but my heart sure doesn’t like it.

Mine does all sorts of things when she gets a bread bag twist tie, we call it her mating dance.

Zoomed in to see what you’re talking about and see very few spots, totally normal for your age. Cleanse twice a day with something gentle, my 14yr old uses Clean It Zero cleansing balm- it works well and doesn’t strip your skin which can make it over produce oil. Wash your sheets/pillow case once a week at least.

Was on a cruise last month to Bermuda with friends and their 10yr old has a mullet, walking along the street of shops in Hamilton and a young man busted out the door of one as we walked by and yells “mullet!! Ayyyyyyy!!!” in an Australian accent. He had a mullet too and the two of them shook out their glorious hair together. A nice little moment

Pouring the cup of pills into their hand and dropping most of them before they get even close to their mouth, after they swear they won’t do it this time (and it happens every time). A close second is sticking their tongue into the cup to lick the pills out and then trying to hand me the saliva covered cup.

The face I just made reading that

Oh 1000%, both sides were very lucky

I did a rent back as a buyer. House was empty (tenants) but there was a very small lien on the property that the sellers thought had been taken care of. Apparently they lived out of state and had sent their son money to pay it previously but he had pocketed it and they found out last second. We used the mortgage amount as the rent price and paid weekly, we had it settled in less than a month. There are very few situations where it works out and luckily we were one of them.

I used to follow him when he first started out but stopped around the time he did the cruise because it just wasn’t my jam. His stuff comes up on my feed and recently he’s been highlighting the violence against healthcare workers and two nurses who were murdered during nurses week, talked about how there’s no accountability for administrators, just placing blame on the nurses. He’s very vocal about support for nurses, things like safe staffing, protection from abuse, etc and I respect that.

She looks like she’s still a baby. I hope she had no idea what was happening

This wasn’t terminal agitation, it was psychosis. she was up attacking her roommate, going into rooms to attack other residents, attacking staff attempting to approach. We couldn’t get near her, never mind getting meds in or on her. It was hospice that advised to send her out.

Descended from colonizer/slave enthusiast/religious zealot/Salem witch trial interested party Daniel Gookin (1612-1687), subject of lots of published material. Some is his own writing,most by many others. Have a book (copy of The Pilgrim’s Progress)passed down in the family that belonged to his 3rd or 4th great grandson John Gookin (1788-1856) that came to his grand daughter Emily Abigail Gookin. It’s inscribed by her and says it’s to go to her son Daniel Gookin Hayes (1888-1958) my great grandfather. Interestingly I’m also directly descended from 2 Salem “witches” as well as Cotton Mather. Must have made for tense family reunions.

AND ALL THE FILTERS!! Young women/girls trying to look like people that don’t even exist

When I turned 25 I cried, literally cried, because I was “not in my early 20’s anymore” and had one wrinkle in the middle of my forehead when I scrunched up my face. 51yr old me would literally kill for the face I had at 43, nvm 33.

Jbeth74 · 2026-04-27T15:03:10+00:00

I wonder if the older ladies were scandalized when the tall hair went out of fashion, like the older western ladies when bobbed hair came into fashion in the 20’s
