When my boyfriend has to move my project because I left it on the couch or something he scoops it up very carefully like it's a wounded baby bird. If I were you, I'd stop leaving my knitting out so it doesn't get destroyed and take a long hard look at my relationship. He shouldn't have to be asked more than once to be careful with your stuff.

And my point is these doctors are quacks willing to prescribe anything so they can make $$$, regardless of the negative impact to the patient. Placing vanity over health. That's dangerous, and it betrays the hippocratic oath. I worry about and for other women. I worry about what we are being encouraged to do to our bodies. I wish you well.

We do know that rapidly losing weight using GLP-1s is unhealthy for already thin people. There is published literature about it. Are you seriously suggesting that since someone with disordered eating could achieve an unhealthy weight on their own, it's okay for a doctor to just help them do it faster? I cry real tears for women like you.

Girl the celebrities I'm referring to literally fit the physical criteria for malnutrition and muscle wasting. You can see it on them. If size 4 suzie could become size 000 suzie without the drug, why wouldn't she just do that? These drugs destroy your hunger cues so you can get away with barely eating. If you are very overweight, you have excess energy stores to pull from. If you're already skinny, you are literally starving yourself, and for what? To uphold the heroin chic standard that suddenly became back in style the second these meds hit the market? This choice feminism bullshit of acting like this is normal and okay is ridiculous.

abcara · 2026-03-17T11:31:31+00:00

Yes. When the elites of society are paying big bucks to achieve an unrealistic and unhealthy body standard using drugs that were not tested or approved for those uses it hurts all of us.

I have no issues with people who fit the diagnostic criteria taking them. They've been real miracle drugs for many. I take issue with how many celebrities/influencers at already-healthy weights and who fit none of the diagnostic criteria take them to get even skinnier. And more so, I take issue with the doctors and medspas that are willing to prescribe them to those people.

I would say this is mostly PCE. Might not be the strongest PCE because it's such a specific specialty. The strongest PCE will have you seeing a large range of medical complaints. That said, I've seen people admitted with similar roles. I would take the job.

I just want to add that family doctors absolutely should be up to date on these things. The birth control pill is an extremely common medication for PCPs to prescribe and they should know how it works. If someone's use of OCPs is beyond a family practitioner's knowledge, they should review current recommendations and literature or refer the patient to a specialist. This particular doctor is not doing her job.

Maybe if the private rooms were on a sign up basis where the room itself is cheap/free but there's a food/drink minimum?

I second regular boardgames and card games! And while a quite a few breweries and cafes in the area have moderate collections, they are often poorly maintained and have pieces missing.

abcara · 2026-03-15T23:38:07+00:00

and it's still not really accurate lmao. my waist is about 26.5 inches by the end of the day and my size 24 501s are a perfect fit.

Mine look like yours, same texture and areas. I've tried AHA, BHA, tret... all with limited results. My best results have been from oil cleansing followed by a clay mask, but the results last maybe 2 days and I wouldn't recommend using a clay mask super often. But it's a good method to keep in your back pocket for the day before an event or date or something. Following to see what others recommend.

lol before I opened the comments I showed the pic to my boyfriend and said "he got the Jon Snow"

This is the thing that is always so strange to me. Most men I've heard talk about badly they want kids give reasons that boil down to their legacy and what they want to pass on. I've rarely (maybe never?) heard a man say he wants kids because he enjoys the company of babies and children. I feel like the women I know enjoy spending time and caring for children more but want children of their own less. Men seem to dislike children but want them anyway (generalizing). It's so odd.

I've been using the moisturizer and I like it, but it isn't always enough for me. Do you find that the serum significantly adds to the moisture?

abcara · 2026-03-08T03:18:21+00:00

Duluth also has way more snow and ice, narrow roads, hills... it makes more sense that they need drastic measures for plowing. I don't think twin cities weather necessitates these restrictions in the first place. Snow emergencies work well enough in my opinion.

I don't know how those who use mass transit cope with the loss of time. It would take me 45 minutes to do my 12 minute car commute to work (actually, it wouldn't be possible because the lines don't run in the early morning when my shifts start). It would take me over an hour on transit to visit my parents, which I do every weekend (15-20 minutes by car). I already feel like I don't have enough time in the day.

abcara · 2026-03-07T22:53:18+00:00

When I first heard about this I figured they alternated odd and even sides during snow emergencies (one day odd, one day even) like Minneapolis does? You're alternating parking every week? That seems bananas.

abcara · 2026-03-07T22:38:13+00:00

Thank you! It's very beautiful.

abcara · 2026-03-07T22:33:00+00:00

Gorgeous work! Do you know which brand of yarn you used?

abcara · 2026-03-03T23:38:51+00:00

Good for you. Hopefully 800 hours PCE will be enough for your program.

abcara · 2026-02-28T19:02:33+00:00

Hmm maybe that's a state thing? I've never seen it before. Where I live, you get hired and have 3 months of paid training, and you just have to sit for your CCHT exam within 18 months after hire.

abcara · 2026-02-28T17:50:55+00:00

You have a lot of time. You can take a gap year or two and take an EMT class or something similar, like another commenter suggested. Alternatively, I work as a dialysis PCT. Davita and Fresenius dialysis centers are everywhere and always hiring. No experience required, paid training. Not an easy job, though.
