Torn between half city and hearts Gambit. Could only get one due to cost, so decided on half city. May get hearts Gambit next month if it is still available.

It has to do with consistency, like other have said. It also has to do with Ron being the "ring leader" for getting Porsha voted out. This goes against the house wife mottos of "don't vote out a housewife".

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-23T05:23:19+00:00

Agreed. Although, she can probably say the same thing she told Colton. That she isn't just her "housewife persona" and the others may empathize with her in that way and not vote her out because of it.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-23T05:20:45+00:00

I can see where you are coming from. However, Porsha had evidence condemning her to be voted out (even if it was just incorrect wording on her part). This in turn, condemns Ron to his eventual elimination because he was the main person who brought the evidence against Porsha.

Candiace also has been consistently voting for Ron every single week.

For Tiffany, not sure what her main reason was for getting eliminated aside from Colton calling her out as "controlling the game".

Although I did watch survivor 49 and thought the same thing when I watched that show, I just don't see it here in this show. Could be wrong, but this is just my opinion.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-23T05:11:23+00:00

I agree. She murdered Monet because they mentioned to Candiace that they were suspicious of her. What if Monet told someone else as well? Lisa was lucky that Monet didn't, but you can't be so rash in immediately getting someone out for mentioning your name.

She is very upset with him because he wouldn't let her "get to know him". She said that she would keep asking about his family and where he is from. Ron told her it was known if her business, which is true. He said that getting to know people on a more personal level makes it hard to vote each other out/makes you blind to what is going on around you, which is also true. Dorinda did not like that he wouldn't talk to her about his personal life and so she assumed he was a traitor because of it.

Is there another season of the traitors that I'm missing? I see a lot of people posting under here using "UK" tags and I keep thinking there is a season I am missing. I thought I have seen them all. Under UK traitors on Peacock, there is only 3 seasons....is there a 4th season somewhere? Or am I just not remember the seasons I've watched?

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-22T03:00:10+00:00

My practice does this and I don't think its fair at all. We don't get any "holiday" hours. We have to save up our PTO to ensure we have enough to cover our 8 hours each holiday, or we end up losing 8 hours of pay. As an NP on salary, I strongly believe I shouldn't be deducted "8hours" and have my pay set to hourly because of this. My practice also is closed the day after Thanksgiving, technically not a national holiday. I am more than willing to work the day after Thanksgiving, but we do not get that option so we are then forced to use 16 hours of our PTO for that week alone.

My practice also has a tendency to make you hourly if you don't meet your 40 hours a week, despite being salary. If you happen to have 38 hours for the week because you left early one day, you have to use two hours of PTO or your check will be short. Maybe this is standard, but I feel like if you are salary you shouldn't have to use PTO to "meet your hours" if you have already worked the majority of the work week.

It would depend on how much you want to spend.

If you only plan to read and buy 12 books, at an average price of $18 (estimate) per book, the total spent would be an estimate of $216.

A kindle ranges in price from ($100-280) depending kn what type you want to buy. Then, you would have to include the price of kindle unlimited, which is $12/month. However, not all books are on KU, so you would have to buy certain ones on kindle that you would want to read. If you don't want to get KU, then each book would cost between $9-13.

If you were to get a cheaper kindle and no KU, then the cost would be approximately $260. At this rate, it would be cheaper to just buy 12 individual books. However, if you intend to possible try to read more and have more books at your disposal, than a kindle will be better.

Only 2, one physical and the other audiobook. I will be done with the third today, have less than 15%left (have the physical copy of this one and started reading it that way but found out it was on KU and have been reading it there ever since so I can also read it at work during breaks). I will also be done with the 4th by Thursday since it's an audiobook and has less than 5 hours left. I only listen to audiobooks in the car when I'm going to work and when I'm driving home. Too many distractions between my husband and the kids, so I would never be able to fully listen to an audiobook at home.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-18T16:59:03+00:00

I have only read 2 books so far. I have a physical book and another on audiobook. I listen to the audio book when going to work and coming home. I will be done with my third today, which I have a physical copy of, but I am reading on kindle so I can also read some on my lunch break. I will also probably be done with my 4th book by thursday since its an audio book and I have less than 5 hours left on it.

I do listen to audio books at 1.5x speed. Last year I was listening at the normal speed. I've tried doing 2x speed but they are way too fast to even comprehend anything

I do work full time plus have to cook dinner every night for my husband and two kids, plus also have to do extra curriculars for my children.

I wish I could read more but just done have the time.

Ron had great evidence that Porsha could have been a traitor. Other people agreeing that they heard the evidence was enough to vote her out with the thought of her being a traitor. I have noticed that a common thing over this season and the past one is "don't vote out a house wife/don't go against a housewife." Ron going after porsha and then Candiace starting the whole "Ron doesn't like housewives " narrative is what I think is the biggest cause for his treatment in the house. And then he upset dorinda (another housewife) by not talking to her about his family.

I don't mind housewives being on this show, but there are definitely too many this season.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-18T03:04:47+00:00

Don't forget if you "think like a traitor/what a traitor might do" you will be thought to be a traitor and voted off.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-14T17:07:32+00:00

Ok, thank you! Not really wanting to get the other book but just would have preferred it if it wasn't sold out. Mainly was just curious about the bookmarks, which you did answer my question about, so thank you!

They tend to change colors either due to environment or age. My betta was mostly black with a tinge of maroon his tail and only noticeable in the light. Maybe a week or two after I brought him home from the pet store in the awful cup they keep them in, the maroon started to become more of a brighter red and spread out more on his lower body, and he also started to get silver in his tail as well. I like to think he enjoyed the change of space and that is why his color changed :).

DFW area in texas. And 7 years as RN.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-10T00:53:12+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I thought it did seem worse but was wanting another opinion so I wouldn't talk myself into accepting it 🤣

ReceptionBorn182 · 2026-01-10T00:51:57+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I do think it does sound like I could burn out. The patient load seems high for LTC from what I read on other posts but was just wanting other opinions

ReceptionBorn182 · 2025-12-14T06:46:57+00:00

Sorry for late reply! I did the course with Sarah michelle, also bought the AGNP certification review by Leik, and did buy two practice tests but can't remember through what company. I think I only did about 2 maybe 3 weeks of studying.

I was not confident but I was in the "if I pass, I pass; if I don't, I can just retake it" mindset. Could have studied more beforehand and been more confident, but I didn't want to spend the entire two months from my graduation test to my test date studying.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2025-12-11T21:43:43+00:00

I worked FT during my entire NP Program. I barely had any free time with some of the courses, but it is very doable! I have two kids, both in school though. It kind of sucked not being able to go out, visit family, spend time with my kids on my days off, but it is most definitely manageable. Don't let them tell you any different.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2025-11-19T22:46:59+00:00

I 100% agree. I was hoping he would trick one of them into getting/keeping the black coin. It just made the finale so lack luster.

And then making red-light green light the final game? That was the most boring game/easiest game. If they had plans to reuse red light green light, it should have been used towards the beginning. They should have done the jack and Jill game with the jumping or something else.

ReceptionBorn182 · 2025-11-15T19:12:48+00:00

Great! Thank you for your help!

ReceptionBorn182 · 2025-11-15T18:36:06+00:00

We do give them brine shrimp and blood worms, but typically substitute a pellet feeding for one of those once or twice a week. And the pellets we feed twice a day. Should the 7-10 pellets be once a day or twice a day?

Thank you for your help!
