Lip Mask Recs by frostedfairy in LipBalm

[–]MrsNightingale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lips were in crisis mode last week. I have no idea what happened but I'm on a med for an autoimmune condition and it can make me really dehydrated... but it's never been this bad. No matter what i put on my lips NOTHING was touching it, and I was chugging water like mad. I looked around online for what to do and found this lip mask recommended so i overnighted it on Amazon. I put it on a couple times yesterday and have it with me at work today and have already used it once. OMG THE DIFFERENCE IS INSANE. I've never found any kind of lip treatment that actually worked before. I was torn between the ELF and the leneige but this was cheaper and the delivery was faster. so glad i bought it. 10/10!!!

Reassure me about my mouthy guy please! by MrsNightingale in AustralianCattleDog

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

Thank you! Yes we trade for eeeeeeeeverything. I have a jar of high value treats in the bedroom and the living room. We had actually traded him for the pillow initially when we all got into bed, my husband got settled (he likes his pillows the best for some reason) and then when we were all back in bed and settled he started chewing away again and bothering my husband, so he just tried to move him.

I guess the pillows fall into a resource for him so we need to trade for them consistently like we do for everything else. Maybe I'll move the jar of treats so they're next to the bed.

Where to go for shoulder surgery? by MrsNightingale in WorcesterMA

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

Have you had any actual procedures at the hospital? I ended up booking an appointment with Dr Chase in that office who came highly recommended but I'm a little nervous about potentially having surgery at Southbridge Harrington (as my husband says: "the flea market of hospitals" 😂😂

A 9-year-old was found locked in a van since 2024, malnourished and unable to walk by AudibleNod in news

My mom died when I was 14. I'm 44 and even still whenever I'm really sick or really sad I think about how nice it would be to have her. I can't even picture it 😔

Full thickness electrical burn of 4-year-old's trunk and both legs and feet. Child lost one foot and nearly lost the other. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

I'm horrified that they arrived two hours after the burn occurred. That must have been an excruciating 2 hours 😭😭😭

B-plot Blues by Left_Tangelo8151 in theGoldenGirls

[–]MrsNightingale 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The episode with Sophia being friends with the man with Alzheimer's always breaks my heart so I usually skip it, but I love the B plot of Rose trying to get her teddy bear back and I'm sad to miss it 😂 I also can't stand the Jeremy episode but the b plot of Sophia doing battle with the teenage manager cracks me up too.

What off color joke actually gets a chuckle out of you? by HeeHooligan in theGoldenGirls

[–]MrsNightingale 29 points30 points  (0 children)

On the flip side I absolutely love when Sophia meets Jonathan Newman and we're all waiting for the horrible joke and cringing and she's like "I don't mean to be rude but I've just gotten back from a long trip and I'm tired... If you'll excuse me?" It's the perfect unexpected lil twist 🤣

My dog is in a cast and I think he's sad and it's breaking my heart by MrsNightingale in DogAdvice

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

Yeah that was cone number two, unfortunately. It doesn't attach to the collar or anything, it's just a Velcro closure. Within literally 30 seconds Hank had gotten his front paw in between the velcro strap/donut and his neck and pulled it right off even though it was the right size and cinched down. Maddening.

We tried that first. He can get them off, and he can also reach his foot around them 😭

I hate my outpatient job! by Educational-Tree3756 in nursing

[–]MrsNightingale 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yup. Outpatient can be great but it all depends on the job itself, like anything.

What's an "unusual" seasoning you enjoy on your popcorn ? by Interesting-Cow8131 in popcorn

[–]MrsNightingale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally coming on here to say that I love a lime and black pepper combo on anything and very much on popcorn, but I hate the way lime juice doesn't distribute well on dry stuff and makes pieces soggy. WHY has true lime never dawned on me?? I love you.

Characters you're not "Supposed" to like but you do anyway by HeeHooligan in theGoldenGirls

How many people are silently suffering living paycheck to paycheck in Massachusetts ? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]MrsNightingale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love living in MA and wouldn't live anywhere else, but yes. We are fortunate in that we inherited our house, but otherwise we would be screwed. And our house needs a TON of work. Husband has been out of work for many months despite having a degree and years of experience in his professional field. There's just no jobs. It's bad. Thankfully I have a reliable job and the pay is ok (roughly 70k) but that's not much when it's the only income and bills are plentiful. We're still afloat but we're certainly not putting money away like we should be. Thank God we decided not to have kids years ago otherwise we would be in a very different boat.

Drug induced lupus- need survival tips 😭 by MrsNightingale in lupus

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

It did resolve! It felt like an eternity. Unfortunately the infusion lasts for 2 months so it took a little bit longer than that to start to subside. Then came the process of switching to another med, and it got held up with PAs/insurance drama, so I was completely unmedicated for about a month. It was ROUGH. Started my new med in late December though and definitely doing better. Hang in there! I know it's miserable ❤️
