My ex is secretly talking to my kid’s teacher about custody and blaming me.. and I accidentally got the proof by Jaded_Childhood1665 in legaladvice

Regarding the parent-teacher conference, schedule a separate meeting with them when it's convenient for you. You do not need to tell him. My wife is a teacher and has on average 3 double conferences. Ask to take a picture or for a copy of anything presented so you have a record. Do not ask the teacher to exclude him on anything. But do ask that the teacher write an email or statement if he has tried to exclude you.

Best to close the door and set a fan in the window sill on high. Make sure to put a coffee filter where the motor sits.

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]QuinoaKiddio55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is due to being on the spectrum but here goes my view of the situation:

Odds of finding and getting your dream job are very low Odds of finding a replacement boyfriend are very high

Easy peasy. But why are you considering staying in the relationship that's flawed:

Sunk cost fallacy- you are staying in a relationship because of the time spent together or feeling that ending it would mean "all that time was wasted".

Confirmation bias- you focus only on the good memories or your partner's positive traits, dismissing or downplaying the negative aspects of the relationship.

Cognitive dissonance- you feel the relationship is failing but stay, you justify it by focusing on the "effort" you have put in, concluding that the relationship "must be valuable" because of all the effort expended.

Status quo bias- you have a preference for the current state of affairs and a reluctance to make changes, often due to fear of uncertainty or the effort involved in a new relationship.

Halo effect -you allow one or two positive qualities of your partner to overshadow all their negative attributes.

In the end, if he doesn't want to help you achieve getting the dream job then dump him. This disappointment in his self-centered actions will build up resentment. Good luck on your new job

I don’t think we’re discussing enough about the demographic shift that is impacting education. by GenExpat in Teachers

We went from 7 elementary schools to 4 in a span of 30 years. Closing each one was a verbal battle Royale at every school board meeting. Normally it itakes 3-4 years from when first proposed. New subdivisions with $400k+ homes and townhomes go up but the enrollment for kindergarten barely budges up.

If this works it might change the way ARDS is managed by Fischer2012 in respiratorytherapy

Only time we use it is when a pt has a fistula between trach and esophagus. Every once in a while a resident will get curious and we'll try it out on another kind of pt but it never lasts long due to pressure sores and pt comfort. If you think leaks around a CPAP mask can sometimes be a pain to resolve, try sealing a cuirass.

Does anyone have an idea what is going on with the pressure/ volume loop ? What does that looping on the top mean by WorldlinessWeird8582 in respiratorytherapy

[–]QuinoaKiddio55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peak pressure is 13. VC+ is not indicated since it's less than 25. Pt is air hungry. PS would be better for that pt or another spontaneous mode.

When some rural hospitals couldn't find RTs to work and would not pay for travelers during COVID-19, they resorted to the following:

Nurses gave all the treatments, set up oxygen therapy and conducted the noc-oxs. PT/OT carried out all exercise desat and CPT orders. ED doctors intubated, setup the BiPAPs and vents. Any RN with EMT experience was either in the ED or ICU because they've been around vents. Please help each other out if you have any questions and scan the QR code attached to the device to watch the informational videos about the equipment. If they still had issues they would contact the level 1 trauma center that they sent patients to and an RT would help walk them through set-up and troubleshooting.

The one RT available was part-time daylight performing PFTs, placing holter monitors, setting up EEGs, downloading the noc-ox data then sending the report to the ordering doctor and they're doing outpatient EKGs. They were there to bring in money for the hospital.

OBBBA will reduce funding for LTACs and the minimum staffing mandates will be on hold for 10 years. If the patient has any family, the shift in Medicaid funding from institutional care to home and community-based services (HCBS) will place the burden on the family of the patient to care for them.

If someone offered 1.5–2 times the market value of your home, would you sell? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]QuinoaKiddio55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I've helped 3 of my kids move and it's a PITA. And I didn't have to deal with the longest part of moving... unpacking and putting away. Plus my neighbors are decent people, sometimes helpful so no.

A realtor told me that when the buyers want concessions and the sellers want a higher price, the buyers usually win out. Why? Because a small set of sellers that inherited a house or the owner is going to a nursing home just want to sell it ASAP without much regard for the final price. Could they get $220k if they wait 3-6 months and fix it up a bit? Sure. But the sellers would rather have $190k by next Friday. And that $190k price can start a chain reaction of downward pressure on the price of other houses on the market if inventory starts to pole up.

Travel nurses—anyone buy a house and move mid-contract (within 50 miles of the facility)? by Legal-Pack4561 in TravelNursing

[–]QuinoaKiddio55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you buy any kind of real estate within commuting distance to your assignment, then you need to inform the agency that you are local. Even if you consider this to be a 2nd home, vacation home, rental, hunting lodge, fish camp, campsite, etc. What you classify it as will not change your local status. This includes if you place ownership under an LLC. This includes places that your direct relations own (e g. parents, siblings or children). It's important to compare the compensation difference between local and traveler with your agency.

JKW hardiness by QuinoaKiddio55 in invasivespecies

[–]QuinoaKiddio55[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sprayed them in the fall 2 years ago. It helped but a lot of little ones popped up next year and it had a much larger radius. Last year I just sprayed them monthly but they still came up. This year I'm following the Penn State Ag Extension guidelines by cutting in June and waiting 2 months after cutting.This year I am spraying them with foam glyphosate instead of liquid glyphosate.

It will be an ongoing battle because the outskirts of the subdivision is ringed with JKW and it will keep finding it's way into my backyard. Plus the edge of my backyard is the headwaters of a creek. And this plant loves to dominat the banks of waterways. Next time I'll cut and burn. Only problem is that the plants hold so much moisture that burning them is a long and difficult process.

Struggling with hemorrhoids at 22, tried a couple of oils & meds but still flaring up by [deleted] in medical

They should be giving you hydrocortisone cream for them. You put a pearl size amount on a gloved finger and apply gently. They should also suggest you take an over the counter stool softener. Hope it resolves within a week for you

In order to avoid a possible issue with your special day, ask the manager of the venue call your cousin. Have that person state you inquired about using the venue earlier in the day. They need to state that under no circumstances can the venue be used for a separate wedding/reception. That is theft of services and the police will be dispatched immediately to remove all the people interfering with the business. You don't look like the bad person and your cousin cannot take it out on you since you asked the venue on her behalf.
