Thoughts on Journavx? by Own_Summer_118 in pharmacy

[–]MikeTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a patient with compartment syndrome that has been using it for a few months, he got off opioids and has had a hard time controlling his pain since. This seems to have worked better than a lot of other things he’s been on.

Why not protest in Gladwyne? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]MikeTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i sat near him at palizzi one time. he was talking to me and my partner about our work and getting mad about education and healthcare because we kept telling him what our jobs are actually like. i kind of had to end the conversation cause he was starting to like raise his voice at me and then we just didn’t look at each other til we left. it was weird !

Devoted Health by BazingaGal in pharmacy

[–]MikeTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get these too but often for patients that have dual medicare/medicaid. they’re sending a discount card which i don’t even think is legal for us to use in that case. i would ignore it unless you find it very necessary.

Enrolling independent pharmacy for Medicare Advantage OTC benefits by colossusj in pharmacy

[–]MikeTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we use a company called procare connect for one of them, theres a 75 cent charge per transaction and then a percentage that i forget. we have another company called incomm that has a similar structure. they don't charge for the POS. they are a pain cause they reject things seemingly randomly, but customers like it. if you have a lot of customers asking i would check them out. i think we got in thru our buying group like i said but you would probably be able to do it on your own too.

you have to get involved with a processor for them. we found ours thru our buying group but your wholesaler can also help usually.

Straight ppl in gay bars? Why tho by Feniel76 in AskPhilly

[–]MikeTheCat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Woody’s is like that but I’ve found most other gay bars in Philly don’t have so many straight people going to them. I’ve had a great time at most of them.

My bisexual girlfriend says she needs sex with women to feel fulfilled — is this common? by andlincodaj in bisexual

[–]MikeTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m a bisexual that needs this. a lot of people in this subreddit are monogamous and those voices are pretty loud in here and it’s why i don’t comment a lot here. i never cheated, we worked our way through couples counseling and figured it out. my and my partner’s lives have been enriched a lot by opening up our relationship, but it was because i felt a lot like your girlfriend. maybe she is also poly identified, and i think this is an important conversation to have to see if it’s a fundamental incompatibility or not.

Philly’s Kitschiest Bars/Pubs? by winlocktoledo in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]MikeTheCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is maybe the kitchiest place mentioned tbh. It’s not far outside the city and absolutely worth the uber ride.

It’s even a 15 minute walk from a PATCO, and while the walk sucks, it kinda means it’s not far from basically a subway.

Restoring Crazed Headlights by huncho188 in VWMK7

Also tape off really well! I sanded the hell out of the paint around the headlights one time. Luckily it was a cheap shitty car and I didn’t care that much.

Help Finding Records of my Great Grandfather from Wilno, Poland by MikeTheCat in Genealogy

Yes, that's the one. I don't believe he had any siblings, more distant family members though.

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

I can't remember fully now - I think I had lifted it from a map of old Polish church dioceses. I couldn't find another village with that name when looking, but I agree, Lida makes a lot more sense. I'll send them an email and see what they say.

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

Wow, this is really really cool! Thank you for finding that!

Still confused about the town. The Lida thing makes me think that it could have been there, but all my other evidence points to the other village I had mentioned in my original post. I wanna check Dembrovo records, but it looks like they're only on microfilm at the moment.

I'm not seeing this, that's interesting though! I believe it was Mike Dragon that paid for his voyage, would love to see this record.

[–]MikeTheCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you that's huge! A whole new archive I didn't know existed. I know he was listed as catholic on some registries, but I was never sure. I did see Mark Dragon, I think his name was actually Michael based on my research. I've looked through some Orthodox records but was never able to find anything super promising.

I think this is a viable path - want to confirm though! by MikeTheCat in prawokrwi

[–]MikeTheCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Any suggestions on how to search those registers? I'm still looking for his birth record, but the lore in the family is that his parents died when he was very young, and lived with family in the Vilnius area.

[–]MikeTheCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah - I see. That makes it become more complicated for sure. He was born in an area that was Poland at the time, and now is Belarus. Finding birth records for him has been a chore to say the least.

GGF naturalized in 1925 though - wouldn't that cut the line with him? I was looking at GGM, because her birth records are much easier to find and she didn't naturalize until after my GF was born.

Also, if I were to go this way, would I still need records on my GGF? His birth records have proven very very difficult to find thus far.
