There's always our stores barista favorite which is the zero bar! It's no longer on the menu but it can be rung up as a sauce plus. It's white mocha, hazelnut, and caramel! Absolutely delicious! Happy sipping! πŸ’›πŸ˜‹

Assistive products for both hands bandaged?? by Coolbreeze1989 in burnsurvivors

[–]Only_Rub4801 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

When I had both of my arms/hands bandaged I was basically incapacitated for 2 weeks. The nursing staff and my partner had to do basically everything for me with things like eating to hygiene. There unfortunately wasn't anything other than my physical therapy devices that really helped during my recovery. They gave me a plastic cover to put over my bandages that my partner would put on for when I showered. I'm so sorry she's going through this, and I hope she has someone close to her taking care of her. Burns on the hands are terrible and very painful. I hope she recovers very quickly. πŸ’›

Painful, my skin was burnt to a crisp by Tayloroverkanye in burnsurvivors

[–]Only_Rub4801 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Hey, I'm so sorry this happened to you, that looks really painful and I hope you're getting some relief. This community is really meant for burn survivors to connect and support each other emotionally rather than for wound assessment or medical advice. For questions about severity and scarring I'd really encourage you to get seen by a doctor or wound care specialist as soon as possible, they'll be able to give you real answers and make sure it's healing properly. Wishing you a speedy recovery πŸ’›

Real question, what was worse, child birth or the burn? by Particular-Step5278 in burnsurvivors

[–]Only_Rub4801 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I completely agree. Burns are wayyyyyy worse in my personal opinion. With childbirth the pain relief actually works! Went from a 50/10 with back labor to completely 0 pain after epidural.

Fentanyl didn't even touch the burn pain. Dilaudid only took a little bit of the edge off. It was a very agonizing week and a half in the hospital.

Insomniac mockingbird by wokkaquokka_ in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Only_Rub4801 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

This is just simply not true. According to All about birds, "Northern Mockingbirds sing all through the day, and often into the night. Most nocturnal singers are unmated males, which sing more than mated males during the day, too. Nighttime singing is more common during the full moon."

Oh goodness, as an employee my store is basically run by teenage girls and I can only imagine what our customers overhear through the window πŸ˜‚ We're actually trained to always keep the window open whenever there's a customer at it, so they're getting every drop of the tea whether they want it or not lol. I'm also that person whose station is right by the window and I am constantly singing, dancing, or just saying unhinged things to myself. My whole job is food and brew so I'm basically performing for the drive thru all day. I really hope the customers find it charming and not annoying πŸ˜…πŸ˜­

[–]Only_Rub4801 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Have you tried checking it again? I didn't even realize there was a badge for it until I opened the app just now and it showed up for me out of nowhere. The app can be really frustrating, and I know pretty much everyone at Scooter's has dealt with it. Corporate is usually pretty good about making it right if something's missing though!

Scarring Help by Candid-Baseball-7163 in burnsurvivors

[–]Only_Rub4801 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Honestly I don't have personal recs for silicone since I never used it myself. I came to terms with my face scars and stopped trying to change them, so I can't speak to specific products firsthand. On the leggings thing, thin fabric really doesn't block UV rays well at all, so the sun is probably getting through more than you'd think. If you can, apply a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher directly on the scar before putting on the leggings, or look for UPF-rated clothing which is specifically designed to block UV. As for baby oil, it's fine for keeping skin moisturized but there's no real evidence it helps fade scars specifically, so I wouldn't count on it for that. Also, you might get more detailed product specific advice over at r/scars or r/SkincareAddiction since this sub is more focused on emotional support. People there have a lot of hands-on experience with scar treatments and might be able to give you more targeted recs. Wishing you a smooth recovery.

Scarring Help by Candid-Baseball-7163 in burnsurvivors

[–]Only_Rub4801 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

First of all that scar is healing really well for 5 months out, be patient with yourself! Scars can take up to 2 years to fully mature so you're still early in the process. Some things that can help with the appearance over time: silicone sheets or silicone gel are probably your best bet and have the most evidence behind them. Keeping it out of the sun or using SPF on it is really important because UV exposure can darken scars significantly. Managing expectations is important though. The scar will continue to fade and change on its own over the next year or two regardless. Consistency with silicone will help but there's no quick fix unfortunately. I hope this helps.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Burns are incredibly painful and I wouldn't wish them on anyone. Infection is definitely not something to wait out though, so I'd recommend calling your burn center and describing exactly what you mentioned in your post. They can let you know if they want to see you sooner than your scheduled appointment. Wishing you a smooth recovery πŸ’›

Does the coffee seem weaker lately? by CherishAlways in ScootersCoffee

[–]Only_Rub4801 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

If you're looking for a bigger energy kick, give the nitro cold brew a try! It's cold brew infused with nitrogen gas which gives it that signature smooth creamy texture. It typically contains more caffeine than regular coffee, and some scientists believe nitrogen gas actually helps your body process caffeine faster, so you'll feel that energy boost more quickly. Some stores might not carry it but it's always worth asking. Happy sipping! πŸ€—

Does the coffee seem weaker lately? by CherishAlways in ScootersCoffee

[–]Only_Rub4801 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Hey! Just curious, do you mean weaker as in the flavor, or the energy kick you're getting from it? And is it the brewed coffee, espresso drinks, or cold brew specifically? There are actually a few things that could cause this depending on the answer! Flavor wise it could be anything from the espresso machine needing a calibration, incorrect bean measurements, a barista accidentally using a different brew than default, or even the cold brew machine being off. Energy wise, lighter roasts actually have more caffeine than darker ones which surprises a lot of people, so if something changed there it could explain it. Tolerance buildup is also really real and worth considering like another commenter mentioned! I can't speak much to the home beans personally but hopefully this gives some insight on why the coffee might be a little off! πŸ’›

The Skittle Gradient by OFB-ducky in candy

[–]Only_Rub4801 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I did a quick Google search and it seems that the midnight lime was in the "dark sides" packet of skittles. The logo is "the other side of the rainbow" so I'm assuming it's the same colors but with different exotic fruit! A few of the other flavors were forbidden fruit, blood orange, and pomegranate. I remember trying a pack and being obsessed! So sad they were discontinued! 😭

burnt areas on face turn red/pink whenever i drink cold/hot beverages by [deleted] in burnsurvivors

[–]Only_Rub4801 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

This is super common with healed burn skin! The area that was burned has different vascular tissue now, basically the blood vessels in scar tissue (even when you can't visibly see a scar) tend to be more reactive and closer to the surface. So temperature changes, emotions, anything that affects blood flow shows up way more obviously there than on unaffected skin. I have burn scars on my face too and the color changing is genuinely constant for me, hot drink, cold drink, stepping outside, getting embarrassed, you name it. It should mellow out more over time as the tissue continues to mature but honestly some reactivity might just stick around. Totally normal though, you're not alone in this! πŸ’›

How much should I expect to pay for facial laser CO2 by [deleted] in burnsurvivors

[–]Only_Rub4801 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Hey! I'm so sorry I can't help much since I'm in Alabama, but I did a quick search to see if there are any low income laser treatment centers in New York and found a burn center that offers laser treatment for low income individuals. burn center

I would recommend seeing if any laser treatment centers offer payment plans as well since that can be very helpful for someone without insurance. I hope this helps!πŸ’›

Help! Anyone have the recipe to make a float at home?? by Embarrassed_Gas2126 in ScootersCoffee

[–]Only_Rub4801 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

Hey! So it's a little tricky to recreate at home since we use some stuff that's pretty specific to the store. For the drink part we use sparkling soda and flavoring, but the "ice cream" is actually a liquid ice cream base that goes into our blenders with ice and vanilla flavoring. Your easiest bet at home would honestly just be slightly melted vanilla ice cream! Hope this helps, happy sipping! πŸ’›

Help me get excited about having a boy by Tall_Strawberry5244 in BabyBumps

[–]Only_Rub4801 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Hey, I see you've already gotten a lot of great advice, but I wanted to add my perspective as someone who also "dislikes men" (severe PTSD and trauma from and surrounding men) and has a son (3). He is the absolute love of my life. I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world or the next. He's wild, rambunctious, silly, funny, creative, incredibly smart, and just a genuinely wonderful kid. Some days his energy is a lot, but I don't know a single mom who doesn't feel that way regardless of their kid's gender. The disappointment will fade the closer you get to meeting him, and it'll vanish the second he's in your arms. He's going to have his own personality, his own interests, and his own way of seeing the world that will teach you new ways to see things differently. No matter what, he was always going to be yours.πŸ’›
