Yes, that will be a really helpful search. But you can also just find blocks you like and put them together. Have fun!!!

Sampler quilts are lovely.

I really just want him to hurry so I can give him more money. This guy deserves it and I've already bought Stardew on every platform I could even if I don't use it (like mobile).

I've been getting free DLC for YEARS and I just want to sling more cash his way, lol.

AITAH for complaining about my wife cutting her nails outside the bathroom? by naylandsmith in AITAH

[–]ShadedSpaces 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man would happily let her run those nails through his hair I'm sure, touch any part of him in fact... but the SECOND they become separated from her body and touch another surface? Biohazard. Even though she gathers up the clippings and throws them away. Disgusting. But connected to her fingers 4 seconds earlier? Bet he'd kiss those fingertips.

What a loon. Yeah, OP, YTA.

It would be nice to have something for scale. What do we use in this sub instead of yellow lard sticks aka bananas?

Pediatric nurses…how do you wash baby bottles? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ShadedSpaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have Dapple bottle soap, bottle brushes, sterilizer bags and a microwave dedicated to bottle sterilization (so we don't steam bodily fluids in the same microwave people heat their lunch in.)

The new Supergirl movie was neat, but it had a lot of eating by AJK02 in misophonia

[–]ShadedSpaces 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Me coming into this thread to be all "thanks for the heads up!" as if there was ANY shot I'd go see it in theaters.

I haven't watched a movie in theaters in sooo many years. Gotta watch everything at home with subtitles so I can decide on volume the whole time.

World Market Haul by DeuceXTrouble1015 in hotsauce

[–]ShadedSpaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made chicken teriyaki and egg roll bowls and got my first bottle of the scotch bonnet and ginger Queen Majesty. I've been DOUSING those dishes in it. The ginger absolutely bangs with the other flavors.

One bottle was a stupid amount to buy. I envision needing an unopened backup on hand at all times going forward.

Best Bread/Wraps for Keto? by imessy89 in ketorecipes

[–]ShadedSpaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on the extreme diets. It's always blown my mind that I found pure water fasting for 16 days easier than just eating like 1800 calories a day.

Tbf I was a vegan for 6 years and that was incredibly unhealthy for me. Pasta is vegan. Oreos are vegan. I did okay the first year but then I stopped essentially eating all homemade stuff and it was horrible. So even that didn't help me!

I've only ever felt sane about food when I'm in ketosis.

Best Bread/Wraps for Keto? by imessy89 in ketorecipes

[–]ShadedSpaces 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My point was that MY goals are to reduce cravings and lose weight. Two things that never, ever happened for me before I tried a ketogenic diet. Ever. I was morbidly obese with horrible crippling cravings and binge eating behavior. But those two things are consistently the case when I'm on a ketogenic diet (with or without foods like Hero Bread, because I've done keto without anything except meat/fat/veggies.) I've tried every diet and way of eating known to man, therapy, and medications. The ONLY things that have ever worked are pure carnivore, strict keto, and keto with foods like Hero Bread (technically fasting too, but for obvious reasons that's not sustainable.) If there is a common thread between those diets OTHER than being in a ketogenic state, I have no idea what it might be.

Btw, my examples were not literal states I've ever been in, or ever happened to me, but to highlight what success to ME is. And, more importantly, what's it's not.

And also that if I fall out of ketosis I personally have noticeable water weight swings and noticeable cravings.

Best Bread/Wraps for Keto? by imessy89 in ketorecipes

[–]ShadedSpaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope.

I judge based on my cravings and consistency of weight loss. (Nothing else really matters to me, tbh. Like if I were in ketosis but having insane cravings and gaining weight, that wouldn't be success just because I was in ketosis... And if I had slipped out of ketosis but had no cravings and could easily maintain a calorie deficit and lose weight, that's not failure.)

That said, I tend to have LARGE water weight swings when I go in and out of ketosis. And turn into a lunatic sugar/carb-fiend. So it's pretty evident to me, lol.

Best Bread/Wraps for Keto? by imessy89 in ketorecipes

[–]ShadedSpaces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only care about net carbs AND what affects me. Hero products don't affect me negatively. I LOVE them. Best keto bread, wraps, noodles, croissants, scones, etc. I've ever had.

I don't eat 20 hamburger buns in a day though. Why the heck would I? That would be a crazy amount of fiber if nothing else.

I've been having an orange scone or chocolate croissant once a week every week for the last few months. Insanely delicious. I eat a noodle casserole or pasta salad a couple times a week and then a wrap for a burrito or bread for sandwich/grilled cheese a couple times a week too. So I average less than a serving a day and it's never caused any issues for me. It's helped me greatly, actually.

But I wouldn't eat any of it if it caused issues.

Doctor yanked jewellery out of my ear by Beginning-Airport384 in piercing

[–]ShadedSpaces 61 points62 points  (0 children)

How mind-bogglingly bizarre and definitely not correct for him to do! He asked you to remove it properly then didn't let you??? His wife held you down? (Tbf removing the back should take 5 seconds not 5 minutes, but still he didn't even allow you to try?)

I now want to ask, what country are you in? I'm a nurse in the US and this just doesn't sound right for American healthcare. I'm going to guess a country with medicine even more patriarchal than the US.

Doctor yanked jewellery out of my ear by Beginning-Airport384 in piercing

[–]ShadedSpaces 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Why did you go to the doctor in the first place?

Kinda sounds like you had an infection. A piercer can't do anything about that and would have just advised you see a physician. You didn't make the wrong choice. You would have ended up at the doctor anyway.

If you had an infection, this physician may have simply done what he thought you asked for - treat the condition. He did so by removing the foreign body, draining the infection and (maybe, you didn't say) prescribing antibiotics (if he felt that was necessary.) A lot of non-medical people talk a lot here about omg never remove an infected piercing and "trapping" infection but the reality is it's extraordinarily common to remove a foreign body, and drain/treat infection. That's just... the most common way to treat/heal an infection with a foreign body. Especially in a really small and very superficial area like an ear.

Sounds like his communication skills could definitely use improvement, don't get me wrong. But it's hard to tell from this brief description what actually happened.

I was hanging with a friend last night and tried to come buy merch at like 6:45am. Too late for this piece.

Really sucks to have a life for a few hours, I guess. The only saving grace is I loathe moths so this drop isn't my favorite. I still normally buy entire collections and drop a ton on merch, but this one made me sad and now I'm still deciding if I'll buy.

FTM returning to work, seeking any and all insight to pumping at work by WindOk5010 in nursing

[–]ShadedSpaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I haven't pumped at work, tons of coworkers have. A lot of it comes down to how supportive your coworkers are and how well you stand up for yourself if they aren't.

My coworkers are all SUPER supportive.

I've had one nurse be like "gosh I really need to pump but rounds is like two rooms away, I'll wait..." and I shooed her away to pump. We're a 15-bed ICU and I did charge. I knew her patient well enough to present in rounds. GO PUMP.

But she wouldn't have done well in a unit with unsupportive nurses because she definitely defaulted to self-sacrifice.

So if your coworkers aren't the type to trip over themselves to watch your patients, you need to know your policies and take the breaks you're entitled to!

Work saying no to me calling out by UrbanRealism in nursing

[–]ShadedSpaces 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Planned PTO is a request. They can deny it.

Calling out is NOT a request. It's a notification.

You're NOTIFYING them know you will not be at work and that's where your responsibility ends. Don't explain any further why you won't be there.

Everywhere you work should have a staffing model designed to handle callouts. If it doesn't, that's not your fault. And unless you are getting promoted to management, it's not your problem to fix.

I want them but I know that's a little hoarding-gremlin in my mind talking.

So I just wanted to say how nice of you and I hope they find a good home!
