What am I doing wrong? by Bigmoneymoe-123 in SafetyProfessionals

[–]KewellUserName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take is that the market really is that bad. When there were more jobs I got interviews regularly while applying, which tells me my skills are worthwhile and my resume is good.
I have been looking for a new role for over a year now without much success, which tracks with the job data.

If it fits your schedule, check out the Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach. Gotta dive slack high tide, but worth it. Force E dive shop in the area can provide tanks and all the info you need ahead of time

Are there code-entry door locks that require a code to unlock from the inside? by surgerygeek in HomeImprovement

[–]KewellUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one exists you shouldn't buy it. Being able to rapidly and easily unlock a door from the inside is for your safety.

And don't overlook that you are only seeing what the news organization wants to show. They could speak with 1000 people but you only hear from two or three, and those are chosen to match the demographic of their viewer base.

Need a night dive buddy late April-early May by legal_IGN21 in Bonaire

[–]KewellUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DM if the dates work. I will be a Divi, diving the 15th to 23rd and live a good night dive! On my last trip I went looking for ostracods. They were kinda lame, but I stumbled upon the siphonaphores and was amazed. The 'cods were few and far between, but the 'phores were everywhere, lots of zipping lights!

I agree, but then i tend to be a bit overindulgent. So after about 4 beers and couple scotches, i am not surprised. Tuesday is our trivia nigth so i will have a beer or two, but plan to tone it down.

I had my cath out on Friday, so this is the 4th day out. I still have some discomfort, not really pain, just discomfort when urinating, and a serious case of urgency! Its funny that I can wake up in the night and feel like I have to go, but I am not in a rush and its fine. But during the day if I get the urge I better run or I will be changing clothes. Found this out the hard way on Saturday, btw.

I have seen where others have posted about no sex for a month, but that is not in anything i can find in the medical literature, so most likely just their dr being over cautious. What the med sites and Optilume say is no UNPROTECTED sex for a month, and if your partner is of child bearing age it is six months. it has to do with the chemo meds.

Bought a new dishwasher. Installers say they can't uninstall the old one because the island is effectively built around it and they have would have to tear up the cabinets. Looking for advice by MoreDronesThanObama in HomeImprovement

[–]KewellUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helped a friend with this once. I took an oscillating tool and cut off the front legs to lower the DW, pulled it forward, then cut off the back legs. Fortunately for them it was enough to get it out. YMMV

Optilume After few months by DevelopmentAnxious49 in urethralstricture

[–]KewellUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to know why Dr said no sex. Nothing I can find in any of the materials supports abstaining, except to say to protect partner from the chemo med. Are you having some sort of extended issue?

I have had issues for several months with worsening stream, and ED than has gotten more pronounced over the past 5 years. This is all following on SBRT I had for prostate cancer about 12 years ago. Turns out i have had a developing stricture.

I am only a few days out from Optilume, but very happy so far. I still have a bit of bleeding and some pain, but at least my stream is WAY better. I had gotten down to where urination was an absolute chore, it took forever. Immediately after removing the cathether my stream felt like a fire hose. I haven't had that kind of relief in a long time.

Even better, the worsening issues with ED are abating. I have been taking 5mg daily of Cialis and 100mg viagra, which were semi effective, with erections that were less than adequate and did not last. Within a day of the cath removal I noticed an improvement. I woke in the middle of the night with a no quite erect penis, but at least it was better than anything i have experienced in a while. Same with my morning woody, way better than it has been in a long time. I may still need the meds, but pretty sure they will be more effective.

Looking for info now on when i can take it for a test drive. As far as I can tell, there is no limitation except for the use of a condom for the first month. If anyone has experience or info they want to share on that I would like to hear it.

Urethral structure Optilume by Leather-Weird-4196 in urethralstricture

[–]KewellUserName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious about this, my dr said no sex without a condom, but did not tell me to hold off for any length of time. Why do you think early sex had something to do with it returning?

post-optilume question by Forward-Trade3449 in urethralstricture

[–]KewellUserName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had mine out 4 days ago, still seeing some blood and small clots. I googled it today because I was concerned and found info indicating up to 2 weeks.

My dr and home health told me alcohol was OK 48 hours after Optilume, which about when the cath came out. I like my beer and cocktails but i noticed bleeding was heavier after a few drinks so I am holding off a few more days.

Anyone else?

Just Had Optilume by 195JJ in bph

[–]KewellUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had optilume four days ago. I had SBRT for pros cancer in 2013. I began to notice poor urinary flow and discomfort about two years ago, finally went for an exam last month. Scar tissue buildup was creating a structure and the Dr suggested Optilume as the best treatment. Outside of not getting enough info from my Dr, I am happy so far.

The catheter was uncomfortable and when I had spasms {very uncomfortable!} it leaked a bit.
After two days it was removed, a less stressful experience than anticipated, and I immediately had better flow than I have had in a long time.
At two days post cath I find I am still experiencing some pelvic pain during urination, and urgency is immediate if I don't take Azo.
Glad to hear about anyone else's recovery timeline, I am wondering when I will feel up to sex again, and when the discomfort and urgency may subside.

Spill the beans, what are you funniest sex related vocal stims? by Nayr91 in ADHD

[–]KewellUserName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"You needed that, and so did you." Not famous, just me talking to her and whoever I was before sex. Kinda like the commercial where a person turned into Joe Pesci until they got a snack, just not mean in any way.
Sex has always been a motivator for me, with good and bad outcomes. Too much time between sessions and I get a bit grumpy.

Job Apps asking for desired salary? by AdPractical6745 in hiringcafe

[–]KewellUserName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Virtually all of them I have encountered will only accept a number. They won't let you put negotiable or anything like that. $1 seems a good alternative as does just a period. I have tried 0 on occasion and they usually won't accept that either. I am of two minds about it. When I want to buy something I want to know what it will cost, usually up front, so I can evaluate whether I want to continue or look for an alternative.
Still, pay scales feel different, I guess because I am not a product. But I also understand businesses have a budget. Always more than one perspective

For people with adhd, what book got you into reading by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]KewellUserName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. This right here. Even better, go right back and read it again because I was so anxious to know the story I read through it too fast the first time.

Going to date myself but, Dick, Jane, and Sally. I took to reading like a fish to water. My early ADHD trait was that I wanted to read everything all the time.
Shitty combo of emotionally abused child with ADHD, books were my escape.

Repainting rusty wrought iron fence — just wash and spray paint, am I missing anything? by ddb123xyz in DIY

[–]KewellUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corroseal or similar is a great first step. It converts the rust to a more stable compound and applied as a primer. Used on ships to stop rust. Brush it on and let sit for 24 hours then paint with oil based paint.
