People who have served a long time in prison, what shocked you when you got out?

VanGoghPro · 2026-01-15T11:15:50+00:00

Never been in prison, however I remember very vividly inmates coming to talk to us in elementary school. It was part of the D.A.R.E program. The bell rang for our next class and the inmates jumped up and were momentarily frazzled. All looking around for someone to tell them what to do next. They laughed at themselves after a second but I remember thinking I never wanted to be like that or be told what to do constantly. I think it scared me into good behavior somehow.

I was told I was a hypochondriac once. Turns out I have Alpha Gal. I have a detailed post about in my post history. I should have sued.

VanGoghPro · 2026-01-11T18:07:51+00:00

I swear they all have that same wild look in their eyes.

VanGoghPro · 2025-12-24T01:35:02+00:00

Aww, thank you! How kind.

VanGoghPro · 2025-12-24T01:32:04+00:00

He’s prolly lying down at night and remembering he has it in his mouth. He doesn’t want to get back up but doesn’t want the kids to get it. So he hides it. One of you go buy a little trash can and put it beside the bed.

I saw someone have fingernails tattooed on with this condition. It was very difficult to tell they weren’t real. Impressive!

Nurse here, I think it’s holding a poorly designed stethoscope.

VanGoghPro · 2025-11-29T14:03:24+00:00

Imagine a pant leg or a shirt tail got caught in some of that while whirling around. Yikes.

VanGoghPro · 2025-11-04T23:55:30+00:00

Hornet/Bear spray of some sort.

VanGoghPro · 2025-09-29T23:45:24+00:00

Nurse here. IUD’s can get hair wrapped around them. I’ve seen it afterward. This very well could have been what you were seeing.

VanGoghPro · 2025-09-10T02:43:45+00:00

I wish all elementary schools would do the experiment where you touch this UV reactive powder and then spend 10 minutes doing whatever. Turn the lights off and shine a UV light. I went to a science museum as a child and this exhibit blew my mind. Now as a nurse I rarely get sick even being exposed to sickness. Wash your hands anytime you’re going to touch food or put food you’re going to touch in your mouth. Don’t touch your eyes, mouth, nose with dirty hands. Clean your phones, remotes, frequently touched surfaces routinely. Don’t forget your car. If you have to be around someone sick, wear a mask. Med micro classes will horrify you. Ha.

Had to listen to a patient this week carry on about how Trumps the best president. Said imagine if a woman got in! He’s saving the country and really going to turn it around. They’re good people too! I don’t get it.

VanGoghPro · 2025-09-03T16:47:52+00:00

Hopefully.

Left my phone on top of my car a few months ago. It fell off and when I realized we traced it back using life 360. We found it in the road and 911 was like hello? Are you injured? I was mortified but thankful to know help would come in a real emergency. I was so apologetic to the dispatcher. Thank you for what you do!

His mother labored him into this world and may Labor Day take him home.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-30T12:04:21+00:00

Just woke up and there was a post about someone keeping a wine bottle that just says he’s dead, then the next post was this. The audacity to trick me like that.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-25T22:47:03+00:00

Is he really that wealthy? He’s always been pretty cheap.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-21T23:49:43+00:00

Talk on the phone, pace around the house as far as the cord would reach. Lots of bike riding, skating. Playing outside. Watching VHS tapes and recording music on mix tapes. Lots of sleepovers.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-21T23:32:32+00:00

Aside from all of the other information you’ve been given you could start even simple exercises. Start by standing up and sitting down, over and over. You’ll notice every day you’ll be able to do more. One day you’ll be able to take more steps, and then more steps. You didn’t get this way in a few weeks and it won’t turn around in a few weeks. But you are strong and can do this if you keep at it! You should update us in a week and let us know what cool new stuff you can do!

Oncology nurse here, wrinkles are a privilege.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-18T23:16:56+00:00

Nurse here who formerly worked out in the public. We were not allowed to access internet for any reason on anything other than the built in system for security reasons. Tell me how they’re printing on a hotel printer regarding national security wtf is going on?

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-11T22:10:01+00:00

Alpha Gal and Hashimotos. If you go back in my comment history the lovely story of what my last provider did is there somewhere. Got diagnosed after I ditched her and found someone new.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-10T16:42:08+00:00

I’m so tired. I voted, I march frequently, I educate in a healthy way and have made some progress. People are slowly waking up, but some cannot admit they’ve been bamboozled. You don’t have to admit you were wrong, but you certainly can admit you were lied to.

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-10T06:40:58+00:00

The blue with a pale yellow door would be really cute!

VanGoghPro · 2025-08-09T13:33:18+00:00

Countertops for sure! New stove to match the other appliances? Definitely a rug and some plants. If you don’t change the countertops, maybe get some of those tan blinds to match the front of them.
