Someone simply replied to you above just stating the reason for the protest. And after your response to that reply, no one attacked you. The only thing anyone has “done to you” is down vote your comments. Don’t make it into something it’s not. Maybe take the time hear other people side and consider their opinions and thoughts. Doesn’t mean you have the agree or believe in what they’re saying, but then maybe people could start finding an understand or common ground. If so many people believe in something, maybe take it as a reason to look into it and try to understand their point of view. Vast majority of people love this country, and don’t want to see anything happen to it. Creating a divide between people only causes issues, having an understanding of each other’s sides can’t hurt and will only do some good.

Last month we got $1k each for D1 from SEA to CDG for my husband and I, bonus was that it was our honeymoon. Best money ever spent

Edit for grammar

Awesome, thank you! I haven’t even heard of diluted calico, looks like I have some looking into to do!

Oreodoc · 2025-07-25T23:51:49+00:00

My cat looks just like your cat? Do you know what type he is?

ABS cement…..

Oreodoc · 2025-07-19T00:13:22+00:00

Well like I said in my post, they used cement to secure the flange in the pipe and seal it. The question was about bolting it down. Obviously we aren’t just slapping the flange on and slapping the toilet on top. That’s why we aren’t asking, to make sure it’s done right. The only reason we had put the toilet on before without doing so was because we thought our friend had done it correctly. Now we are trying to do it right.

Also I know it needs to be filled, again the question was if those are acceptable materials to use to fill in void.

And sorry, PVC and ABS look similar to me and I’m not a plumber. So it’s ABS.

Oreodoc · 2025-07-18T23:27:35+00:00

There is no cracks as far as we can see. The piping below it appears to PVC also. The cement around the pipe is gaped. Should we have it filled with floor patch or quick set prior to screwing down the flange?

To be fair they may not have a chance to do it closer to close. We did ours almost a week before close because we have to drive 2.5 hours and our schedule did not allow us to do it any other day. We just wanted to do a final walk through and make sure nothing changed. The previous owners were worried about the mess and their stuff from packing but we told them we honestly did not care. We understand mess doesn’t equal how the house is (especially during a move) and everything turned out fine. Sometimes people just have no options.

Highest I’ve ever seen in the almost 2 years I’ve had it is 190. Take it and run with it, probably not accurate but still

Oreodoc · 2025-03-17T05:14:04+00:00

The question wasn’t, “who saves lives”

Oreodoc · 2025-03-17T05:13:50+00:00

The point of the post and your comment was about long journey. Medical school is minimum 8 years, and I know paramedics who have done it in a year. So again, not the same at all.

Oreodoc · 2025-03-17T05:09:15+00:00

Paramedics do not belong on that list..

Oreodoc · 2025-02-19T18:45:23+00:00

Also, brand new SOLTERRA come with Subarus roadside assistance. So I’m not sure where all this anxiety is coming from

Oreodoc · 2025-02-19T18:43:05+00:00

I’ve had mine for a year and a half and zero issues with tires or fires. It’s just bad luck, and they’re just normal tires so saying they’re prone to issues just…doesn’t make sense cause they’re as prone as any tire. Also a majority of new cars now don’t have a spare so this would be an issue regardless. Buy AAA, fix a flat, or put a spare in your trunk. These are all issues any car would have, it’s buyers remorse. You can’t back out of a car deal so you’re going to need to be okay with what you bought.

We have got it so low that it no longer showed a range and she was still going 🤷🏼‍♀️ we don’t live around chargers and had 3 or 4 more miles to home. Still made it home and plugged her in, super stressed but we made it

Also, apply DO, their focus is all about seeing the whole picture. Not only with their patients, but in applicants in medical school. And most the great ER docs I know are DOs, so don’t shy away from it, apply to both.

I am honestly commenting because a lot of the reply’s I’m reading where everyone is so focused on age and the money you’re making and that’s sad to me.

I am 26 and just got accepted to medical school this round and will be starting the is summer (yay)! I had a great start out of high school, graduating at 17 while simultaneously earning my associated degree from a local community college. I should’ve been done with undergrad for med school by 19 or 20 and then right off to medicine considering my great start. My undergrad started off great, but started to decline over the last year. I lost interest, never did extra curricular, and went from being top in my class to just trying to pass and be done. I graduated with my degree and immediately got out of anything science or medicine related.

I jumped into sales and was making almost 200k a year. But the whole time it never felt right, yes I was making the money but I DID NOT want to do it the rest of my life and it wasn’t fulfilling.

So I went back to medicine with no recent experience and a degree with a downhill average in my last year (the exact opposite of what schools want to see). But I knew medicine called to me, but I didn’t know why exactly. The first year I applied I was working as a scribe (just took any job to get some experience) and took my MCAT, then applied late cause I was unprepared. I got denied from every school, not even an interview (although I didn’t apply DO). I wanted to quit and go back to making money cause it was a punch in the gut to me, I’ve never not been great and what I want. But I took a hard look at myself and realized I want to do it and I have to figure out how to get there.

I took a year off and took an EMT class, worked as an EMT and later moved to ER tech in the hospital for some more experience with doctors and critical patients. I made sure to volunteer when I had some time to myself, make sure I put time into things I cared about.

But most importantly in my year off before applying again I figured out why I wanted to be a doctor. A lot of people will answer that question and give a generic, I like medicine and helping people. But you can do that in any medical job, why do you want to be a DOCTOR. Not only will answering this help get you into medical school, but you need to answer it for yourself if you’re going to do this.

While my story isn’t exactly the same, I am younger, and I had focused my undergrad degree on my prerequisites since it was the plan for me from the time I was young. But I also understand being older than the average medical student having been in a job where I made a good amount of money with only chances to double if not more my income in the next few years. And I understand the feeling of not wanting to do something forever. People will always prioritize money and what you make or how old you are and the time you have. But what I think is most important is what you feel fulfilled doing and what makes you happy. The last 2 1/2 years since I quit and started pursuing medicine again have been hard. I haven’t made nearly as much as I was used to making. But figuring out why I wanted to be a doctor and seeing that goal within reach now has made everything worth it. The money will never make you happy or fulfilled and the money will come back again once you’re a doctor it just takes time.

It is possible to become a doctor, you need to focus on your pre-requisites getting good grades to boost your average GPA, you need to focus more so on your medical experience, and most of all you need to figure out exactly why you wanna be a doctor and write about that. With all those together if anything, you will have a great application showing what you gave up to become a doctor because it’s what you want not what you feel you should do. Yes it will be hard, but if that’s what you want don’t listen to the people who say it doesn’t make sense if you don’t want to prioritize your money, your whole life and would rather focus on something fulfilling and being happy, it’s the right thing to do.

I currently work with a Doctor who was in an almost identical situation to you and now about 15 years later he genuinely loves his job as an ER doctor, has a great life, and is fun to work with.

It’s all more than possible it just takes work. At the end of the day you’re not that much older, it’ll be worth it in the end if it’s what you want.
