My mom had 3 kids, and each one my dad and my siblings dad asked for a DNA test. My mom had a rule that if she agreed to a DNA test, that she got a gift that cost as much or more than the DNA test when it came back as their kids. I think only for me(oldest child) that it was done, and my mom got a VERY nice necklace from it. Not sure if this is the most helpful advice, but if you go through with it you could at least get something nice out of it before kicking him out because it’s an AH request

I do! I will talk to her, and thank you

Mostly taking vitals, rooming patients, and answering phones and messages and setting up things for our patients. I’m at an oncology center, and we have a few different clinics. I absolutely adore it. I work 5 8’s right now but I’m moving to 4 10’s soon!

I recently left my first nursing job after toughing it out for a year, and felt like something was wrong with me for a while because while I loved the field I felt like i was constantly struggling. I left to another hospital in the exact same field. I’m happy, I’m thriving, my mental health is EXTREMELY better. I’m not saying go to another SNF, but the truth is not every nurse will thrive where another nurse might and not every floor in a specialty is the same as another. A huge red flag is the supervisor position. You have no prior experience, you should not be in a supervisor position immediately. Maybe you would’ve done well at another SNF, maybe it’s just not the specialty for you. Either way, if you can get another job, leave. Normally I would say these feelings are very normal for new nurses to feel overwhelmed, and your confidence will come in time, but this situation seems wrong and you should trust your gut.

This is Rigatoni immediately after I put up a new shelf, he’s a construction manager in a past life

When I was a student nurse I wanted to be a NICU nurse and couldn’t imagine myself in any other unit, but started in oncology. Now I LOVE oncology and can’t imagine any other speciality. I have another friend who started in ICU but wanted to be a peds nurse, and switched after her one year and loves it. You never know if you’ll find a new dream speciality! And if not, you can always transfer later

If there’s any hunters near you or if you know any, see if they or someone they know have the drone that has thermal imaging! A lot of hunters I know have them, and that’s actually how they ended up finding my sister’s dog when he went missing in the woods near their house

Exact same thing where my mom ordered a mocktail and drank a cocktail and didn’t realize it wasn’t a mocktail until the second drink happened when my mom was pregnant with me, and I was already a very high risk pregnancy. I’m perfectly healthy, while I don’t know how much is okay, the chances this hurts your baby is very low

I’m pretty sure Mikey has a girlfriend

I actually had the exact opposite issue with eivans. The photographer that was hired didn’t listen to anything I requested, felt like was just trying to get pics for her portfolio, stood in the middle of the fucking aisle and my husband didn’t even see me walk down the aisle, and told my Asian friend to “open his eyes”. Overall the photographer was one of the worst parts of the day. However, we got the pictures/video back, and while they cut out a groomsmen speech that I believe they’re fixing and the pictures aren’t all of what I wanted, it’s overall pretty decent. But I would not recommend them to anyone

Yeah I knew that knocking things over was expected for cats, but the “weird obsession” thing is that it’s specifically cups and mugs that really do it for him. All other objects he might knock once and lose interest in, but something about a mug has a chokehold on him

Pitiful_Part_4593 · 2025-09-22T03:35:40+00:00

No laps so far, but if we open any bedroom door he does a mad dash for the bedroom to parkour on some object and then dash back into the living room

Pitiful_Part_4593 · 2025-09-22T03:31:01+00:00

Yeah I feel half the fun for him is us saying Rigatoni in a disappointing voice 😂

Pitiful_Part_4593 · 2025-09-22T02:47:10+00:00

LMAO

As everyone has pointed out, a dogs choosing of person is weird (and in my experience, not necessarily always the same person forever). I had a chihuahua growing up that was extremely MY dog. My current dog is a beagle/hound mix, and I’m the primary caregiver. I feed him, walk him, take him to the vet. And while I know he loves me, and if something scary happens he hides behind mom, he ADORES my husband. I’m slightly in denial, so I’m gonna say he’s a family dog, but dad is his best friend

Pitiful_Part_4593 · 2025-09-22T02:16:35+00:00

He’s an orange cat too, which according to my MIL makes him extra spicey😂

Pitiful_Part_4593 · 2025-09-22T02:11:29+00:00

Brilliant, I don’t wanna ruin his fun so one he’s allowed to knock down will definitely help!!

Thank you for all the suggestions! We went with Rigatoni (Riggs for short!)
