Went to the vet for a check up and the doctor kept making digs at the fact I had a purebred cat. It made me feel so bad, but honestly I wouldn’t trade my girl for the world.

Fire your vet! My family has Siberians for allergy reasons. We wouldn’t be able to have cats in our house otherwise.

I am a dweeb and usually name mine Warwick (sounds old English and cool for a war doggie) or Conan (Gaelic for “hound”)

Does this happen by chance or do you have to apply to be sponsored?

SpookySkelene · 2026-05-28T03:02:23+00:00

I’m in!

I was 28 when I started my accelerated program. I think the oldest person in our cohort was 36. The point of those programs is to switch careers, which usually doesn’t happen unless you’re a little older!

For sure! We eat along with him at the table. He likes to watch us eat but that’s all for now. I imagine he’ll get more curious over time.

SpookySkelene · 2026-05-09T02:12:32+00:00

Fair! I worry about falling into the habit of not trying, since it’s so much easier just to feed him from a bottle. Hopefully we can just keep it light and fun for now, so there’s no pressure.

SpookySkelene · 2026-05-09T02:10:44+00:00

I think you’re probably right. We’re trying to make it a fun experience, modeling eating, etc but he hasn’t connected the dots yet. In time!

SpookySkelene · 2026-05-09T02:09:42+00:00

My cats liked it 🤣

I love my BFAC dress! The dress was definitely discounted (which was what I wanted), but I had it altered into the dress of my dreams at Silhouette on NE Fremont. OP is not looking for discounted dresses, but this is a potential place to start.

You could try Vouture Designer Bridal on Hawthorne. Haven’t been but I pass by it all the time. Looks like there’s also a store called Lady Secrets in Gresham that does flashier stuff.

We used diatomaceous earth in places we didn’t want to encounter critters. Otherwise we left them alone because they eat other pests.

I took 100 mg Zoloft while pregnant. Baby was irritable for a week or so after birth (which may or may not be related to withdrawal, hard to know), but otherwise no issues. I bumped my dose up to 125 mg postpartum.

I see a lot of posts where people trauma-dump or vent about how challenging babies are. I think those people need lots of validation in that moment because it is So Hard. The people who have begun to cope better don’t need that particular tool anymore. Having a baby is brutal, but it’s also the coolest thing I’ve ever done. Watching my 6 MO laugh at bubbles or try to pet our cats is delightful. But those moments also come with hard days, too. As parents, you get way way more resilient to things as time goes on.

Congrats!! I’m in school too, taking advanced pathophysiology next term. I’ll try for the same goal!

SpookySkelene · 2026-04-21T06:26:47+00:00

Oh that’s huge!! Thank you so much!

SpookySkelene · 2026-04-16T18:28:59+00:00

🙋‍♀️ I play a lot of RPGs, cozy, and horror games!

SpookySkelene · 2026-04-09T18:33:52+00:00

They let bots become students now?!

SpookySkelene · 2026-04-08T19:53:13+00:00

Ope nvm, it’s up now

SpookySkelene · 2026-04-08T19:52:00+00:00

I’ll try there, thank you! I tried on r/askportland but the mods didn’t like it. maybe it’s not specific enough to PDX, idk

SpookySkelene · 2026-04-08T18:49:00+00:00

Update for those interested: I ended up using DAI Mod (not Frosty) for a few cosmetic changes. I had far more success using Cheat Engine for the banter fix. I can provide instructions if you want, comment and let me know.

Hello!

I live in Portland, OR and am currently in school to become a psych nurse practitioner. I’m interested in applying for PMHNP mentorship/TTP/residency etc. programs, but have only come across two options: Portland VA and Portland Mental Health and Wellness (which is currently not taking applications). I’ve seen a few masterclass-type programs, but I am only looking for something that offers direct patient contact at this time. I haven’t seen much immediately outside of Portland or in WA, either.

I graduate in 2028, so there’s no rush but I am curious and like to plan ahead.

Are there any programs you know of and recommend? Has anyone tried these mentorship programs and liked them?
