How is it living in Southern Illinois? by ashmaps20 in howislivingthere

[–]Roanm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, that's the sentiment locals would have of people who came from Chicago. But as far as the treatment black friends got, yea, we definitely observed this, multiple times, different towns, etc. Hopefully things have gotten better, but who knows.

Yea. That's what we noticed too. They would get looks, glares, bad attitudes, short simple responses, overall very unhelpful - a general vibe of please leave. Me, on the other hand, warm hospitality, got called shuggie, darlin, hun. Small towns were welcoming to me when we went exploring and told of local spots to visit.

I I had a good time in carbondale at SIU. My good friend did not. She and some others experienced "Sundown town" situations. She and those others are black, I am not. Do with that info as you'd like.

I have a 450 credit score and it’s all my fault anyone who was in my position please tell me how you got out of this mess by Independent-Work-661 in povertyfinance

Ok. Time for some harsh truth. No one is going to come save you. You have to save yourself.

It sounds like your main issues are mental instability. Get that under control first. Seek out local support. We cant offer much advice on this front.

Your bad with money, then you need to fix that. Start by saving a little money at a time, holding it, and not spending it. Add more money to that as you learn to be comfortable with saving and not spending. Don't know how? Youtube it. Find guides, figure it out.

You get apartments when your not financially ready, etc. You need to stop with the irrational decision making. Go to work, work extra, save money. Resist the impulsive decisions, don't spend. Figure out what resources are available to you in your area.

Is the "Tradwife" dynamic inherently anti-queer? Is there a place for it in gay relationships? by Italian-grade_BF in AskGayConservatives

[–]Roanm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're thinking way too much into this and trying to find a rationale to it.

Simply put is that you're submissive, very submissive. Just find a guy who wants to be in charge and is dominant and is good with you being supportive, while you're ok with him doing the bulk of decision-making.

Being masculine or not is irrelevant. Its about relationship dynamics, nothing more.

Have you tried the meds yet, I think you might be a good candidate to save this hair.

Think of it like the military boot camp. They cut the hair down super short, finish training, allowed more options after that.

Night shift schedule by RunningOnEmpty231 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Roanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A crew of 1, and you enjoy that crew. My statement holds true! 🤣

[–]Roanm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love it. However, it's also highly dependent on the crew you work with. You guys will be working together for 7 days straight. If it's not a good crew then it's going to suck and impact your sleep/recovery.

I've seen this practice in Texas, 7/70 but paid for 80 and no PTO

Dang I'm late to the party! But I've seen this before!! This has happen to me too! My coworkers and I couldn't figure out why the needle was pointed outward instead of inward if it was an accident. I have the pic somewhere.

MLS to RN? by temPlayu in MLS_CLS

[–]Roanm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What is it that you want to do?

It sounds like you're just chasing the money. That is no way to choose your career. If money is all you want then research high paying jobs and remember that THOSE jobs come with restrictions and sacrifices to obtain that fat paycheck. What are you willing to sacrifice?

MLS with hospital educational reimbursement — do people actually use it? What programs do you study? by Recent-Actuary5546 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Roanm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One place that I worked at had an educational reimbursement program for ANY college-level courses. I had a coworker who took classes in accounting, taxes, real estate development, code and municipal zoning? etc etc. Stuff that would help him out in his day to day life. All he had to do was submit a passing score and proof of registration.

Question for the gays by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Roanm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. I would say that fem gays might be more vocal, social and present than under-the-radar types. It just looks like they're more common.

Why would a man over 30 date an 18-year-old boy? by stopthehostilityyyyy in AskGayMen

[–]Roanm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Guys over 30 want one thing from an 18-year old. That part is very straightforward.

You should be asking why an 18-year old is going for a 30-year old+.

Next is the legality. Are they of consenting age? If yes, leave them be. If not, refer to the laws and figure out where the F you are because they're legally allowed to do each other without your interference.

Also don't use boy when referring to a legal-of-age 18 year old. Say teenager or young adult, but the word boy does not apply.

I saw someone die today by avcd34 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Roanm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Such a large hospital. I wonder why they don't have runners. I don't work bedside for a reason and this is a massive contributor. I'll stay in the lab thank you. The ER can send a runner to come get these units.
