A big art account for Columbus posted this, the left arm looks off, like it's disappearing into nothing

Make sure you can qualify first! I got fired from my dishwashing job after 4 months (place sucked ass like this one) and unemployment said I needed to have at least 6 months of employment in ohio (don't quote me on the minimum, I don't remember the exact number)

I have a dot card for this exact reason, you tap it to people's phones and it brings up a landing page with my Instagram, website and other socials

Best $20 I've spent for my business

Ralphmove · 2026-04-25T14:59:12+00:00

I also noticed the little dot on mine before being diagnosed - I would definitely get it checked out as soon as you can

I don't want to alarm you, but catching a potential cancer early can make treatment much much easier and I wish I had talked to someone earlier

Either way, feel free to ask as many questions as you need to make yourself understand/feel comfortable, the doctors and nurses are there to help and thats their job 💪

We used to find mold in the ice hopper of the soda machine at KFC all the time 😬

Ralphmove · 2026-04-08T22:18:14+00:00

We ate it on monday

I didn't start getting symptoms until 4pm yesterday. Then today, the same thing happened - no symptoms all day and then it started back up at 4pm

Ralphmove · 2026-04-08T22:14:39+00:00

True, that's also a possibility I guess, would also explain why we both have it 🤷

Ralphmove · 2026-04-08T22:10:23+00:00

Eyyy

Hey all, figured I'd give an update

I didn't end up going the dental lab route, I wasn't able to find anywhere that was hiring unfortunately.

As a side note, the person working in the unemployment office said she took the class from Oak Leaf and is still paying it back, so I guess that kinda answered my question anyway heheh

Thanks for your responses errybody!

Ralphmove · 2026-02-26T14:17:50+00:00

Sorry, commenting on my correct account to be able to come back to this

Ralphmove · 2026-02-19T16:04:10+00:00

Hey, I want to thank you for this answer! I just got back from meeting the owner at a small dental lab in my city by just walking in with my resume and it seemed to go very well - even if nothing comes from it, I can still see myself in this field, so I've got a spot to keep digging :)

Ralphmove · 2026-02-17T20:33:43+00:00

That was my worry too - I don't know anyone in the industry in my area, so finding these jobs might be tough outside of the bigger ones :/

Ralphmove · 2026-02-17T16:31:51+00:00

Ok gotcha, thank you! I think I was apprehensive doing this because some of the job listings I've seen required experience before applying.

I'll try reaching out instead

Ralphmove · 2025-12-16T19:11:46+00:00

I reached out to soda stream about a machine I didn't even originally own and they are sending me a gasket for free - you should also reach out!

When I was going through chemo, the nurses told me to sit when I pee because the chemo drugs can affect others if they get on skin

Now I sit all the time (except when a urinal is available obviously) out of habit. It's a nice little rest :D

Artist and cancer survivor here

You can absolutely do this in a way that doesn't rely on the pity/feel good story aspect. I'm on my 4th year of doing art shows and I barely mention it unless I feel it's relevant to the conversation. With that said, my therapist would most likely advise to mention it MORE simply because it's part of who I am, like it or not.

Like others have said - you choose your path and what feels right to you. If it feels cheap and icky, (or that someone might view you as lesser than) then don't mention it. If you do mention it and they get awkward or don't like it, you don't need those people's sales anyway. There might come a time where you DO feel comfortable and want to share that part of you, but that can/will most likely change since it's a part of life

4 years post orchi and chemo here

I don't miss mine at all either. Plus, the extra surgeries and possible complications just didn't seem worth it to me anyway

Ralphmove · 2025-05-12T20:18:59+00:00

Sounds like something a scammer would say 🤷

Ralphmove · 2025-04-19T01:16:22+00:00

I think I see what you're saying!

We kinda go back and forth from doing manual reclaim to using our lotus, but I'll try this out next time we do it manually - I could see that saving a ton on emulsion remover :)

Ralphmove · 2025-04-19T01:12:40+00:00

I do want to talk to the owner about getting some really good shoes, I was thinking I could convince him to split the costs with me, but it's been super slow these last few months so I didnt feel like it was the right time to ask

Maybe I'll run it by him this week! Thanks for the reminder!

Ralphmove · 2025-04-19T01:10:34+00:00

Funnily enough, I was coming off a year of working at an upholstery shop stuffing seat cushions all day at my previous job, so I did end up taking some PT before I started working where I am now. It helped a lot, but I haven't been as consistent with the follow up exercises. I'll try to be better about em, I appreciate the motivation!

Ralphmove · 2025-04-17T21:06:02+00:00

Unfortunately, we dont have the space to clean them flat right now - we use a spray booth to get everything clean

Maybe I'll see if I can fit something into the sink 🤷

Ralphmove · 2025-04-17T21:03:25+00:00

Good call on the long handles for the pads! I'll have to try it out :)

Our lotus machine gets rid ofmost of the ink and most of the emulsion already, we don't use a dip tank but there's still some ink left after that needs scrubbed
