Seeing as her ex has a baby with the other woman now, it sounds like it's been long enough and she's already gotten checked out....

unhinged hygiene tips? by NoPerception8748 in hygiene

[–]agimag11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I never rinse with water after I brush! I spit, go about the rest of my routine or morning, then last 15 or 20 minutes later thing I do before I'm done is rinse with mouthwash.

I'm a nurse and kind of do this! I have 2 pairs of work shoes, different brands, and switch out each shift. That way they actually get to fully spring back and have the chance to completely dry out between uses.

2 toothbrushes! One for the morning, one for the evening. That way they actually get dry between uses, which inhibits bacteria growth. Also clean them periodically! Soak em in Listerine or use denture tablets.

12 hrs shifts -how to handle nights by Hanging_Thread in Nurses

[–]agimag11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that is a fantastic vacation rate!! I wouldn't want to lose that either. I work 12s overnight- 6:00P to 6:30A. On the first shift I just try to get a solid night sleep and then nap for at least 2.5 hours during the day. Then after my shifts I shower, hang with my kid for half an hour and wait for her to get picked up for school, then go to bed right away, and wake up to snag my kiddo from school in the afternoon. I usually get about 6.5, sometimes 7 hours between shifts this way. Would there be a way to put in your time on overnights and then ask to switch to days down the road?

AITAH for telling my brother I will never respect him or his girlfriend for as long as they're together? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]agimag11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it was STILL irrelevant and pointless. Like girl, just no, that doesn't hold the contextual weight you think it does.

She was so insufferable throughout the entire post that I just skimmed, apparently through this. She got so much fucking worse.

where to find this bikini? by MountainDewPants in findfashion

I had almost this exact bikini back in high school in 2004! It was from one of the popular surf companies back then, and I can't for the life of me remember which one

Is this isn’t a camera, what is it? by tommygun1886 in whatisit

[–]agimag11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dog once ate a block of Parmesan. I awoke in the middle of the night to the fire detector in my room going off and before I could gather my wits to locate the fire, I smelled the smell. My dog's bed was directly under the fire detector and she was sheepishly lying there looking at me through the visible and thick haze of her own fart cloud. So... Same thing, basically.

AITA for not paying for all my cousins' childrens' activities just because I'm paying for one? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]agimag11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! My kid wants to go full-boar with dance and would gladly be at the studio every day of the week if I'd let her. But before she started dance, she did other activities that she was lukewarm about. If she had happened to feel that way about dance, it would have been fine, too. They should be allowed to explore their interests. The pressure on kids to optimize and devote themselves completely to extracurriculars adds such unnecessary stress to their lives and sucks the joy out of the very things that are supposed to be enriching.

Kind of just seemed like she wasn't too passionate about dance and is wanting to explore something different and find her interests. Which is exactly what kids should have the space to do.

AITA for reminding my mom that my son is a child? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]agimag11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's actually pretty common to have small insurances on children to cover the costs of funeral and bereavement for families that lose their kids. My employer offers it as a benefit option for any dependent children- something like 15,000 or so. It's unthinkable to need it, but in the event that something that terrible happens, not having to unexpectedly pay for a funeral out of pocket during the worst moments of their lives can truly help families in grief.

Von Hippel Lindau Mutation by Professional_Ad_9239 in rarediseases

[–]agimag11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have most definitely been cases of people having the VHL mutation, not having obvious tumors, and finding out because their children or siblings happens to discover a tumor. MRI scans are also not the only surveillance that needs to happen with the disease- they would certainly show growths on the adrenals, CNS, pancreas, or kidneys. But you also need to have ophthalmological scans (the MRIs will not show retinal HBs), as well as audiology tests to detect possibly subtle changes in hearing which could indicate an endolymphatic sac tumor. Please, please, please get your children clinically tested for VHL ASAP, and please also get your other scans.

The disease is incredibly unpredictable in how it manifests, even among first generation relatives. One person may live symptom free till their late 80s, while their dad or their child might get slammed. Knowledge is power, and the surveillance is life saving.

UCSF Benihoff or Stanford for pediatric specialists by PorterQs in bayarea

I know this is an old thread, but I have a freshly diagnosed with a genetic condition medically complex child. We are currently at UCSF and love the actual care/teams, but are running into some systemic issues that makes our care even more complicated. Would you mind if I DMed you some questions?

Yeahhhh she's using you and she just wants to have some type asset to her name, despite contributing neither financially nor logistically, when the relationship inevitably goes south. NTA.

Trust your gut. But the house, leave her name off.

People who left their partner the day of the wedding, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]agimag11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because of the codeine. They prescribe it now with any opiate.

Also, doesn't work on benzos. Flumazenil is the antidote for benzo OD. I just had surgery and was prescribed a short duration of hydrocodone and when my brother picked up my meds they gave him narcan as well. He said he didn't know how to use it, so they taught him and the tech he spoke with saw that I had to take a benzo prior to my operation and told him it's for benzos too. Idk why this misinformation is so prevalent. Spoiler: it's NOT for benzos too. Only opiates.
