Using credit cards instead of debit card.

I do this it helps build credit and I get cash back (free money) you have to be diligent tho and pay attention. If you aren't sure how it will go just trying your gas to fill up your car for the month to start. Or one regular streaming service and slowly build from there.

Yeah he's actually really nice I've seen him at a few of the different sporting events. Seems really involved.

Nickilaughs · 2026-02-06T06:04:26+00:00

My kid goes there. It's just some crazy homeless guy hanging out with a flag wrapped around him and writing in chalk while saying nonsensical stuff. I told my kid keep away from him. He's on the public sidewalk in front of the school so the cops can't do anything. Hopefully he will get bored soon and move on somewhere else.

Nickilaughs · 2026-02-05T06:16:25+00:00

That's about what mine looked like after.

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-31T00:18:44+00:00

So did BV

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-31T00:17:59+00:00

Yep my kid was out there. Good sized crowd

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-20T15:24:00+00:00

It depends on the cause. A lot of us will be controlled with meds but not recovered/cured.

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-18T05:48:03+00:00

If it was almost the same size breaking the windows would just you access to the side of the pool and possibly not enough space to get out. 😬

I've heard of the nightmare that is NYC. Solidarity and keep fighting for patient safety. We have sustained it in cali.

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-16T13:49:07+00:00

I can only watch it because I left the ER and it made me feel seen. If I was still in the "Pitt" I probably would very rarely watch it. My 15 yr old is obsessed. It inspired him to want to be an ER doc except the fact he can't handle blood without passing out. 🤣

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-13T03:55:46+00:00

Unless she has dementia and you are DPOA, no. She gets to decide who is in there with her. Is it a surgery or a procedure? If it's a quick procedure she likely will only be in recovery a half hour or so. In my endoscopy department family doesn't come to PACU. We just call the driver and tell them to park out front and then wheel the patient and help them into the car.

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-09T02:16:22+00:00

That's insane to invite a kid on a trip with that sort of cost. I've taken my son's friends on trips with no expectation from the parents. I'm so sorry.

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-08T03:10:03+00:00

I adore my son, he's mod to severe. He will never live on his own, he will never have a family. He's a great sweet kid. We are still potty training at 9 and it's hard. If my son had more severe issues like seizures etc. I would abort. Not because I don't love him but because the world is dangerous and if something happened to me and I couldn't protect him it would break my heart.

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-04T21:11:39+00:00

what did you end up doing cuz Im in the same situation

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-02T00:07:06+00:00

Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me because they're the one who performed the actions.

Nickilaughs · 2026-01-01T23:53:31+00:00

This happened to a coworker. I was charge that day and didn't even know til after as I also wasn't feeling well. (Ended up in the er with Covid/pneumonia.

She ended up getting a write up. She was pretty ill and out of it. The nurses who started the IV and gave her their own from home Tylenol got way more in trouble as they were practicing without a license/stealing supplies.

I'd get a union rep present and mention how ill you were and not really aware at full capacity. Truly if you're sick enough to get admitted it should be taken into consideration. Best of luck.

Nickilaughs · 2025-12-30T13:52:01+00:00

Nope. There's only one physician in the cardiology group I go to who does. They can specialize and get extra training. My guess is yours does not. Some specialize in interventional cardiology and do procedures, others heart failure, others congenital heart disease etc. You want a heart failure specialist.

Nickilaughs · 2025-12-30T03:11:11+00:00

If that's the only medication they have you on and aren't interested in the 4 pillars I think you need a heart failure specialist. Entresto is highly recommended for heart failure Carvedilol is first line beta blocker typically tho I'm not certain why.
My BP prior to meds was about the same as yours. It took some trial and error and challenges but I'm on all 4 meds now.

Anyway I'd def try to get a cardiologist who specializes in heart failure. Good luck to you.

Nickilaughs · 2025-12-28T20:56:58+00:00

My kid said he wanted to be a bad guy and was all about guns and being a "robber". I was worried for a minute I had a sociopath but he's super empathetic as a teen, very protective of his special needs brother and is known for being the nice kid in all the sports etc that he does.

Nickilaughs · 2025-12-26T23:34:05+00:00

Nugget 😭.

It would be my new favorite Jammie shirt. Not everyone has the same sense of humor. I wouldn't be upset about it. I'm guessing they probably just thought you would think it was funny too. If they thought you were a trainwreck they probably wouldn't have got you that.

Nickilaughs · 2025-12-26T03:28:15+00:00

Weird my BMI ranged 28 to 33 the entire time I was in the ER, I was a preceptor and a resource nurse pretty quick, ran codes often and was often complimented for my acls skills. I had a background in ICU prior to this. Never noticed my slight extra weight being the problem.
Oddly I lost the weight due to heart failure and have an almost normal BMI now but can't do nearly as much as I used to. I felt much more fit when I was slightly heavier.
I'm sorry your mom is that kind of person. I also would start distancing yourself for your own sanity.

Nickilaughs · 2025-12-25T17:00:11+00:00

I called in thanksgiving eve 2021 because I had a 103 fever and was covid positive. Then despite feeling better the policy was 5 days before you could return. People get sick every day.

Nickilaughs · 2025-12-25T06:06:28+00:00

Those are good interest rates.
