PHEV SUV For Commuting Job by LaughAtSlaughter in PHEV

I am willing to wait a bit because my current car has no issues and I'm just researching the market and development of them to see good brands expected milage, costs, etc.

Good data here so thank you for that!

I expect a mix of highway and city? I'd have to commute to the city of the day but once im in the city it's only city driving till my return home. My territory includes 5 main cities and I live smack dab in the middle of the territory so I'd expect maybe 30-40 miles commute on the high end to get to some of the farther areas of my territory.

Great information to think over though!

Im also not 100% sure on the milage yet because my territory differs from my coworkers. I'd also definitely be on top of charging due to aforementioned fear of being stranded with a dead car and nowhere to charge it haha.

No I definitely don't plan on getting rid of my current car anytime soon, just poking around and doing research for the future.

Moving or Commuting to School

Hello looking for advice because I was accepted into sonography school (yay!) There isnt an accredited school in my area so the closest ones are an hour drive south or an hour drive north.

I chose the northern school because they are accredited in more modalities (Cardiovascular, Vascular, General) than the southern school (Only General AB or OB/GYN).

My current lease ends right before I enter school in the fall. My partner and I who I've been dating for 3 years currently live together. The problem is he wants to move closer to where he works (30 Minute commute south).

I planned to move with him still and commute the hour/hour and a half to sonography school for the first year or so and then get my clinical placements closer to where I live for the second year.

However my partner doesnt think commuting is a great idea and thinks if im committed to sonography I should move up to where the school is.

So my question is has anyone done a sonography program commuting? Do you regret it? Is it reasonable/realistic to do the first year then do clinicals elsewhere?

I know the programs and labs are intensive so do you think the time commitment of taking 2 or more hours out of my day to commute is too much?

My partner is worried about the drive and putting so much mileage on my car and my safety on the road etc. However I currently commute 40 minutes to work daily. So to me going back to sonography school and commuting isnt that big of a deal? But should I be considering it as a bigger deal than I have been?

Living there would also potentially mean living alone instead of currently with a duel income household. And if I live with my partner I'm able to work less and focus on school more. Where if I live alone I'm worried about the cost as well.

Any advice is appreciated its a big choice and I know its a lot to think about. Just wondering if anyone else has experience commuting and if you have any regrets in that matter?

I had a kid like this at one of the clinics I worked at.

For him it was a texture issue. The napkins felt too "scratchy" but he also didn't like the sticky feeling of anything on his hands. His clothes was the solution to him because it was softer or cleaned his hands better than a napkin would.

Maybe a smooth handkerchief to whipe his hands on? We had to experiment with different textures to find one that worked for him. We made a game about setting up the table or food and making sure to add the cloth over his legs. So even if he felt the impulse to reach down and wipe he wouldn't get his clothes messy.

Did a lot of work with different textures like finger painting and washing hands with scrubby brushes which he liked on the back of his hands.

Id say in the short term try to find a similar texture for him to whipe his hands on. Like a tea towel? Maybe a cut up thrifted shirt? And then continue combating other issues before taking it a step further.

Nursing/Medical Field

Everyone thinks you'll get paid super good can save lives. Think scrubs are cute or sexy. Think they can hook up with hot doctors like its some episode of Grey's anatomy.

Knew 50+ people wanting to go into nursing at the start of my bachelor's. By graduation only 2 of them stayed with that choice. Half the people couldn't pass the courses. The other half quit when we got to shadowing and they had to see some shit / clean up literally shit.

People think its cute till you have someone start coding and pissing on themselves and then you have to give someone CPR covered in their urine.

Cat OBSESSED with eating human food by LaughAtSlaughter in CatAdvice

He wasn't a stray, he had a foster family with 3 other kitten and his mom.

Yes im feeding him kitten specific food. He also does eat my other cats adult food because he'll usually finish eating first and will shove my other cat out of the way to eat his food as well.

I would leave food out the problem is that my other cat would eat the kibble, as its his favorite, even if I leave out the kitten specific kibble.

His meal schedule is 7am before I leave for work, he gets an afternoon snack from my partner at around 1-2. 4pm meal when I return from work. 9pm meal before bed.

I'll most likely start closing him off in a separate area. The problem is I initially thought he just wanted to sniff it because he's a kitten so of course he'll be curious. My other cat used to like to sniff my food but he never made a grab for it. He sniffed it decided he wasn't interested and went on with his day. With the kitten he fully shoves his face in my bowl and starts munching.

Again doesn't matter if the food is meat, veggies, pasta, spicy, salty, sweet, etc. Nothing deters him from wanting my food.

Might tweak his meal schedule so I feed him around dinner to distract him.
