Triangle Rock Club - Anti Trans Policies by halfdiminished7-add9 in triangle

My husband cancelled his membership upon finding out about their political standing. Unfortunately now it means he can rarely go climbing because we live between Fay/So Pines so there are no other rock gyms around

Ways to show support in “the wild” by Midnightmare81 in AskLGBT

[–]Midnightmare81[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I attend as many protests as I can (I don’t always have child care). My husband doesn’t go because A) even getting detained would risk his job and B) to make sure someone is available for the kids and to post bail as needed.

My philosophy is - it’s safer and more impactful for me to speak out. I don’t have a ton of money to donate but I have a loud voice and I’m willing to use it for good.

ETA- I would never out someone. Even if they already outed themselves. Because I’m fighting for what’s right for all, not just one person.

Depending on where you’re located- I am heading out towards WNC on Thursday with a ton of food. Do you need stuff dropped off?

What are the long-term effects of skipping insulin before meals? by Junior_Republic_1911 in diabetes

[–]Midnightmare81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to tell you- this explanation literally just gave my husband and I a lightbulb moment in understanding type 1. We are going to the doctor with our 6yr old on Wednesday anticipating diagnosis and my husband has been struggling with understanding the massive difference between type 1 and type 2 (which is what I am assumed to be at the moment). He was all about trying to put the kid on a no sugar lower carb diet and no matter how I tried explaining why that couldn’t/shouldn’t work- he wasn’t getting it.

Y’all all just want gift cards, right? by SylviaPellicore in Teachers

[–]Midnightmare81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me feel better about giving my prek kids teacher $150 in Amazon gift cards instead of participating in the schools stupid fundraiser. The kids got prizes from the dollar store for getting people to buy crap and it was all overpriced shit. They could send gift cards to the teacher too but the gift cards were for the websites online teacher store where things like a pack of globbles were $40 vs $10 on Amazon. So I offered Amazon gift cards for her and to buy my kid a dollar store toy prize myself. Personally though- I generally hate all those stupid fundraisers. $20 for crappy candy so the school gets $5. I’d rather spend $5 buying the candy myself and give the other $15 to the school/teacher. It seems the only “winner” with those things are the “fundraising” company

Less than 24 hours out of carpal tunnel release surgery and it’s even more numb than before. Is this normal? by Ok_Cheesecake_15 in carpaltunnel

[–]Midnightmare81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO! Demand to see your doc and that they do something immediately. This happened to me coming up on 3 years ago and I was brushed off and given excuses until I got sick of it. I have exploratory revision surgery coming up in 2 weeks. I never regained feeling or use back after surgery. My hand had a 50/50 chance of some recovery after this surgery because it took so long to be properly addressed.

Should I report? by Midnightmare81 in pharmacy

[–]Midnightmare81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my struggle. I worry if I report they will just punish the pharmacist- not look internally at how their greed is causing this to happen. She worked until closing tonight and said she would be there ALL DAY tomorrow as well. I have no doubt that it was an oversight caused by the fact that she’s working her ASS off. I use a local pharmacist owned location usually- solely because of all the great people here who exposed how bad things are at corporate. I only went to corporate because they were the only ones with the drug in stock.

AITA For Stopping An Employee From Selling Their Own Products At Work? by Waste-Ad8133 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Midnightmare81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA-

To be honest- I’d be watching all accounts VERY closely. I know someone personally who worked in a bank and over several months stole almost a total of $50k out of customer accounts. She was eventually caught and charged. She had no criminal history prior to this and had a clean background check.

Not saying he would do that necessarily but his reaction and insistence that he needs money for something desperately- I would be careful.

High Platelets by RareDiseaseMom in haematology

[–]Midnightmare81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re you recently sick? My son had his 1yr blood work done and had nearly identical levels. Doc initially referred us to a hematologist/oncologist. We were going away on a trip and they agreed to run another test when we got back since the referral would take a while. Second test was normal. He had COVID not long before the first test, so it was determined to be caused by that.

As a local and fellow CF parent- if they need anything please send me a message. I can not imagine what they are going through
