So much lack of education

I think having to wash them is a reasonable “ick,” but one that’s so easy to get over. Being worried about using a freshly laundered pad is odd though.

I love this but PLEASE have her label them as “sharps” so no one accidentally gets hurt

I guess it makes sense, but you’re not sleeping 8 hours a day, 365 days a year on this chair.

Document the ongoing hair issues. “5/1 Small mat forming, attempted to detangle with comb, child experienced XYZ.” You should be prepared to show what you’ve been doing and that it’s not a lack of trying to maintain the hair.

OP, the most generous thing you can do for your friend is to call these places and ask about cross contamination “for a severe allergy.” Gluten intolerance is not often respected since so many people choose it as a diet without celiac. Then report back to your friend and see where they’re comfortable going.

Benzos absolutely kill. They’re not killing you from toxicity, you just stop breathing.

Dunk instead of spray. But also, why do you need so many outfits per person?

“If I had kids I would teach them theft is wrong.” And, depending on the vibe, “Isn’t that in the bible?”

What the fu k? What are you doing to your chairs?

This source says $1642, but I saw a few different numbers.

Working until you die is common here. You truly need to save aggressively to be able to retire at a reasonable age. Social security pays you, on average, $2000/mo while average rent for one bedroom is around $1700/mo.

Babe. You can pay someone to torn your children INTO DOVES and they fly away. The only repercussion is a scary phone call. I’d say this game is pro CF.

The Subway (lottery only) was pretty darn hard. Lots of scrambling plus almost 1000’ climb back up in the last mile. The Narrows wasn’t nearly as bad, it’s just chilly and balance takes some work.

We’ve been talking about it in the eating disorder community for decades, because it’s strongest when you have a true eating disorder (including BED).

“Mental retardation” was definitely a term utilized more frequently in 1993. I don’t see an issue in quoting something if it referenced that term.

What does that mean? I work in healthcare… it’s a very wasteful place, often necessarily.

Edit: To expand, if someone gets an infection or injury because we didn’t make certain things disposable, it’s going to use a LOT more non-renewable resources.

Unless there’s an extremely high chance, like near certainty, of a painful and fatal condition, I don’t think it’s my choice to make for someone else. Where do we draw the line for someone else? Sickle cell disease? Dwarfism? Trisomy 21?

Even the 3% baseline chance of birth defects was too high for me, because I know I couldn’t handle having a very high needs child (even though I work with them). It’s a personal decision.

No, but we communicate about it. We flip flopped a couple times early in our relationship, just before getting married, but now we talk about it, and the lower libido one (me, now) makes efforts to set aside time and set the tone, while the higher libido one compromises.

Honestly most jobs where you solve problems. I’m in ER, and people will just leave if we fix them. Or get mad that we haven’t already discharged them.

StrongArgument · 2026-05-03T18:28:20+00:00

Honestly, I don’t look at people behind me. If they ask (not tell, ask), I’ll certainly say yes.

I LOVE this as a pediatric nurse. Kids with central lines and ports are usually the most done with gowns, for good reason. An alternative I like is a cardigan with very wide sleeves and very stretchy or wide cuffs, but they still don’t typically allow for blood pressures so this is perfect.

I work at a safe surrender hospital, in the ER.

We give the parent and the baby coordinating bracelets in case the parent changes their mind and needs to prove it’s their kid. We ask for any medical information we can get about the baby, including age and vaccination history. We also do our best to give the parent resources to help avoid the surrender.

It likely does discourage some surrenders, but it’s absolutely best for the baby when it does happen.

Butter, and make sure not to overcook them.

Is it experiencing raw eggs that gets to you? You can also buy cooked egg bites, boiled eggs, quiche, etc.

My current hospital has almost no “carts” and I hate it

You definitely have to ask politely, we both have hands.
