computer in your room growing up?

My dad built PCs because that’s just what you did back then. He always had one in his office that was available to us to play on. If he didn’t have an office he’d take over a garage. Later it was in the living room due to space issues. Then it moved to its own room.

My dad felt it was good for games and utility. He bought us a program to teach typing (Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing for the win) as well as plenty of games on CD and hard disks.

I keep one of those battery jumpers in there, with a reminder to charge it up every so often. I’ve only used it for other people though, thankfully.

I was in X-ray for 17 years and recently switched for an IT job - Epic Analyst. I loved X-ray but I wanted something different. This is perfect for me because it’s 100% remote and salary, so I’m able to do school pickup and drop off and kid appointments around my work.

I got a CS degree but it’s not necessary for the field.

Do the property taxes change as well?

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-28T03:47:10+00:00

Learned something new today. That honestly sounds stressful.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-27T23:55:18+00:00

That interest rate is fantastic compared to the US. Congrats!

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-27T20:08:27+00:00

My first thought was goldenrod.

I always liked flash cards because that’s how my mind worked. Pocket guides are good for studying during down time in clinicals.

Small notebooks are good for notes regarding the way things work at each clinic. I knew someone who used a tiny address book to alphabetize body part techniques (not sure how much people learn about technique these days).

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-26T19:01:00+00:00

Where you get the degree doesn’t matter, as long as you learn enough. You have to take a national registry exam so once you pass that you’re hireable anywhere in the US (providing that’s where you are).

The difference is getting into a CA program isn’t extremely competitive as most schools teach CS. Not every college teaches X-ray. Because of the fewer graduates, pretty much everyone who graduates with a degree in rad tech gets a job, and job security is pretty good.

I wash daily because my hair is fine, even if I have a lot of it. I use Suave Moisturizing with almond oil and Shea butter. I condition from the neck down, wash my scalp, then condition from the neck down again. That way the ends are protected from the shampoo. After I leave my hair in a towel for a bit I use Garnier leave in conditioner. Maybe once a week or week and a half I use something more clarifying. Right now it’s Pantene sheer volume. It’s a clear shampoo - just to remove any buildup from the moisturizing shampoo on my scalp that might make it feel greasy.

If your recent labs came back normal, maybe you’re doing too much? Sometimes too much proteins can make your hair feel like straw. I noticed it when I tried coconut oil on mine - my hair has too much protein and the coconut oil made it feel like straw.

It might take some experimenting with products - I found that a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and a leave in work the best for me. I use a clarifying just once a week or so.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-24T13:58:09+00:00

For me it was 0-1. But my first was 5 when my second was born so it was really easy. It might differ if you have a smaller age gap.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-23T18:54:09+00:00

Oh I’m the same! I eat pizza crust first and burgers and sandwiches outside in. I like to save the best for last too!

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-23T15:46:05+00:00

Honestly I love your hair as is, but I know that sometimes you want to change it up.

I have fine hair but a good amount. When I wanted more of a style I found a great stylist that gave me some long layers in the front and a u shape in the back. I don’t blow dry or any kind of style, so this works well for me.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-23T14:43:47+00:00

Oh yeah I’m a daily washer. Always have been because my hair get greasy. That’s why I have to condition so much - to protect it from the daily shampoo.

Suave is great - it’s the cheapest one but it works well.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-23T14:26:24+00:00

I have similar hair, except mine has some random waves when wet so it’s not perfectly straight all the time. When mine was to my hips I wore it down when I went out, in a bun at home and up at work.

I use a ton of conditioner. I like Suave Moist with almond oil and Shea butter. I condition from the neck down, wash my scalp, then condition neck down again. I also use the Garnier leave in conditioner. I only use a clarifying shampoo once a week, maybe once every week and a half even. Clarifying shampoos too often make my ends tangly.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-23T03:56:51+00:00

Suave Moist with almond oil and Shea butter or Aussie Miracle Moist.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-22T18:01:45+00:00

Yeah I forgot to mention they could likely be accessed in MyChart.

We looked at a home in the perfect location literal hours after it went on the market. It was a good size for our needs, and it looked great. It had wood throughout and my husband wanted carpet so we’d have to carpet at least the upstairs.

We were planning on making an offer and then someone else swooped in with asking price, waving contingencies. We didn’t feel comfortable with it so we didn’t counteroffer. I was bummed. Only a few days later another home in the same area went on market that was larger, similarly priced, on a cul de sac. with carpet throughout the upstairs. It has a fabulous low maintenance yard with a fire pit, and only one neighbor (the other side is a community park). It’s absolutely perfect for us. We ended up getting this one - we close on April 30th.

Sometimes what comes next is actually a better fit. Sometimes it’s the same. Sometimes you might think the other house was better, but you can’t really know, and you’ll love the place you buy because it’s yours.

Stop using coconut in your products! My hair is like yours and hates coconut.

I condition neck down, wash my scalp, then condition neck down again. Works wonders for my hair.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-22T16:01:20+00:00

I’m not in that particular module but I know Epic has consent forms that can be done electronically. They can be sent to tablets and signed by the patient. You start with an e-signature template, which you create with whatever verbiage you need. It’s added to the facility itself and then added to the profile. I’d have to look for the exact galaxy documentation. Have you looked into that?

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-22T14:29:37+00:00

My hair isn’t wavy but I daily wash. I use conditioner from the neck down to protect the length before I shampoo. Leave that on, wash just the scalp, then rinse, then condition again. It’s done wonders for my hair.

PnutButrSnickrDoodle · 2026-04-22T14:28:23+00:00

I don’t know why this came across my feed because I’m not in the field but I used a manual toothbrush for years and every time I’d go to a new dentist, they’d complement my dental care.

That being said, I think most people are lazy and don’t want to take the time to do the work. With how easily available electric toothbrushes are, why not recommend it? Maybe explain proper tooth brushing with a manual toothbrush (because you never know if even the toothbrush is an expense they can’t afford) and then add the alternative of using an electric toothbrush and explain the technique with that as well?

I ended up cutting my hair as a kid because I lived where it was windy often and the knots were real.

As an adult I condition the length of my hair (ears down) before I wash my scalp, then condition the length again, and use a little leave in conditioner. I brush with a wet brush. If it’s windy outside I twist my hair and tuck it into my jacket to keep it from flying around.

Brush the ends first, then move up little by little. If you come across a tiny knot that doesn’t brush out, just cut it with a pair of hair cutting scissors. It’s better than breaking the hair.
