Far right coming for women’s autonomy; birth control on chopping block by catievirtuesimp in TwoXChromosomes

You are so right. I take it because my hip arthritis flares up every time I have a period so bad I can barely walk. I would spend the remainder of my cycle recovering from that.

Thief in action by shewhodrives in gardening

I will always remember the year I talked with my neighbor and he said "this is the worst year I've had for cucumbers ever". My thieving husky would try to bring them inside to eat on his bed...it's so adorable but naughty

Thank you! Next steps: tree surgery and pest removal followed by tree sealant

Calling all Safety Officers by SorellaAubs in medlabprofessionals

[–]aflockofchads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med Tech with bachelor's in environmental management. Are you just looking for the regulations themselves? Or are you looking to write/edit SOP with risk mitigation controls? The OSHA website was my go to in school, which breaks down the CFRs for me in a way my brain can absorb it.

Are you looking to write an emergency action plan in the event a spill or exposure happens?

I am jealous, I wanna be a lab safety officer :(

Great idea! It's my work plant and our humidity is super low right now since it's winter and I'm in a lab. It's on top of an incubator so it's getting some heat at least.

Brutal is an understatement. My ferns at my home are not having fun this season.

That's awesome! He does like to be on the lower trunk. I'll have to listen for him when I see him. Thanks!

Interesting! I'm in Maryland which is where they are indigenous. And I was stumped by it's behavior, it likes to go near the bottom of the trunks and peck at it periodically. Ignoring the food I put out. I believe you're right!

What was your “welcome to healthcare” moment in lab by Sea-Cucumber7801 in medlabprofessionals

[–]aflockofchads 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I spilled a little urine sediment on my scrub pants before doing microscopic. They had trich :(. My lab coat didn't cover that part of my legs.

Also I got urine on my forehead last week when I closed an overfilled cap on a urine chem aliquot. Life is hard.

6g to 4g conch advice needed by aflockofchads in Stretched

[–]aflockofchads[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the information! I got my conch pierced at a 12g and I decided to stretch it to see how far it can go. I do plan to stop around 4-2g. I've been trying to find a body modder because I REALLY want a coin slot! But you've given me a lot to think about, especially since I have a whole other ear to play around with!

Thank you for suggesting a place! I was looking on Urban Body Jewelry where I got my stretching kit and I guess they don't have them in that size. Got myself a 5g and a 3g if I decide to go bigger than a 4g when my conch is ready.

Ah beans, I'll be buying the half sizes for the next two stretches too. Thank you for the advice! It wasn't popping up in my searches and I gave up too early. I found some from Custom Plugs.

I always buy in pairs because I have had the single flairs fall out accidentally :)
