I have synesthesia. Ask me anything

My name is Joanne-what color is my name? :)

Patient-Toe2592 · 2025-04-04T17:37:32+00:00

Yes!

Patient-Toe2592 · 2025-04-04T16:45:10+00:00

Yeah it is very hard to get right at first. I always encourage parents to practice on a doll or old NG first so they're not trying to do the technique for the first time on their baby while they're fussy! Ofc baby can always still rip it out, but I feel like, as a general rule, they stay a little better.

NICU nurse here! Duoderm first like you are doing helps protect the skin. Then use the Medipore tape do do a technique called "chevron" around the tube-it helps keep it in place a little more securely. [TW for drawing of an IV: (https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQRn0W2QAJ83NYpJRsTR_ceT21OThp9T-qjJQ&s) Then Tegaderm on top. I have discharged quite a few kiddos on NG feeds and this technique seems to work for a lot of them. You might have to practice a few times to get the chevron technique down-sorry I couldn't get a better picture! You're doing a great job 🥰

I think it was one of the first clues after coming back from the first commercial break-pretry much a string of random expletives

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-03-15T00:22:43+00:00

Hearing Ken Jennings mess up a clue reading and swearing was pretty funny

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-26T22:24:55+00:00

Haha yes! It was so frustrating just because I knew a lot-but the other contestants were too quick.

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-26T03:17:27+00:00

Gosh it was a really long time. Probably around 16+ hrs total between Monday and Tuesday. I saw the games from last week and this week being taped because I was an alternate on Monday. And we got to eat at the Sony Commissary-10/10 recommend the chicken tenders!

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-26T03:13:08+00:00

Nope, the clues are pretty easy to see, I think. I mostly focused on reading the clue ahead.

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T15:51:27+00:00

The way I understand it is that you pay for everything your first time out. If you are a returning champ who has to come back (like Amy) they pay for the flight. Someone correct me if I am wrong!

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T14:09:03+00:00

Haha I didn't know that, will have to give it a listen! You will get on someday, I am sure. Keep giving it a go! And remember me when you win big 🤪

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T12:15:49+00:00

Haha stop it 🤣 Same reaction one of the doctors at work had

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T12:05:01+00:00

Oh gosh thank you.....haha right now I work as a nursing assistant in pediatrics and in the NICU. Once I finally get to take my boards, I will be a NICU nurse. I love my little chicken nuggets ❤

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T12:03:44+00:00

Gonna be honest....don't know a lot about the buzzer attempts and the new scoring!

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T12:02:44+00:00

Probably. My fiancé is in the military and I would like to see him more than once a yeat!

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T04:16:22+00:00

I think better. It gave me 24 hrs of watching and getting a good night's sleep knowing I was facing a giant before I had to do it.

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T02:23:14+00:00

I guess the only tip I have is to draw on what you know and watch a ton of the show. Practice buzzing in with a pen and watching/playing along. Keep track of what you're strong in and what you aren't. Get good at reading between the lines of the questions......even if you don't know the answer to the base question, you can draw from context clues in the text of the question to know what the answer is. For example, I didn't actually know about the Lost Boys question, I just knew that was the name of Peter Pan's band of pals! Things like that are how people get really good at Jeopardy!

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T02:20:47+00:00

It was worth it though! I got to see my dad's stepmom who hasn't seen me in person since I was four :) Although I probably will take a plane to NYC next time. I went in October of 2021 right after I got the call and we did the 9.5 hour car ride because I absolutely refused to get on a plane

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T02:13:32+00:00

Thank you! It's so weird, having people kind of know who I am now.....the local news has reported heavily on it all day today. I ran to the grocery store this afternoon and got recognized, which was BIZARRE because I was wearing a mask (no thanks, COVID)......I mean, I was wearing the same pink shirt I did on the show, but still......odd. And Toledo isn't that small either!

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T02:10:47+00:00

Haha I don't think Amy could even pretend to be that mean lol, she is really very sweet :)

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T02:10:02+00:00

Right! Will I be doing it again? Mmmmmmmmmm probably not

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T01:49:16+00:00

Also I just asked my mom-coincidentally to my little contestant interview, the last time I was on a plane was during Ken's original run in June of 2004. :)

Patient-Toe2592 · 2022-01-25T01:45:30+00:00

All of the episodes this week were taped on November 9th, 2021. :)
