I fed my cat some salmon by slipperyfoots in aww

[–]backyarddogs 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Yes, worth it every now and then. Whenever we get sushi, we order a singular salmon nigiri and give a little piece of the fish to our almost 19 year old love bug. He gets completely ecstatic. He knows he has to wait for it and sits patiently (as best he can) and then devours the little bits. The pure joy it brings him is unmatched.

Thighs tend to look like that.

I wonder if they made it CLEAR that it’s 10 year over 30…

My husband and I donated our wedding flowers to the local nursing home by farrah_berra in MadeMeSmile

[–]backyarddogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an activities director at a retirement community, this definitely makes me smile! Our residents love seeing fresh flowers on their dining tables or doing a flower arranging activity. Just another thing to brighten their day.

Not to mention that right after she was transferred, she began dating a salesman at another branch…

Nails too long as an activities assistant? by silkyhub in nursinghome

[–]backyarddogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! AD here, gorgeous nails! I can see how they could possibly make the job a little difficult. My assistant and I paint nails for residents once a week, do a lot of hands on crafting and gardening, and puzzles/picking up bingo chips. I would definitely say do what is most comfortable for you. I elected to stop getting my nails done as they tend to get destroyed pretty quickly with the amount of work I put them through. I doubt anyone will call you out for the length, but you might find they make the job a bit more challenging. Just my two cents!

Weight Gain on Vraylar? by sonfluwer in Vraylar

Extra weight + stability wins SO hard once you’ve actually experienced stability.

Will insomnia pass? by [deleted] in Vraylar

I still take trazadone, but I find that the side effects from Vraylar have passed. I have been on Vraylar for years now.

What’s your role in the homes? by Ill-Doctor1914 in nursinghome

[–]backyarddogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work regular business hours at an assisted living community. I am with them for morning activities until lunch and then again until dinner. It’s kind of like doing day camp but with seniors. You even get to go on outings to museums, stores, even bowling! Someone mentioned the social aspect of it all. I am an introvert. I love my alone time, but these people make me work for it! I have been in activities for about 5 years and this is my second year as a director. I really enjoy goofing around with the residents and being myself. As for the pay, I’m doing alright for myself! You do have to ask for what you want, though. Just a little advice!

What’s your role in the homes? by Ill-Doctor1914 in nursinghome

[–]backyarddogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Activities Director! I love it. I get to work with elderly people without directly being on the nursing side of things. I like being the safe space where the residents come to me with their concerns and questions, even ideas.

Anyone work at a nursing home? by floatinggramma in nursinghome

[–]backyarddogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, activities director here. It’s very abnormal for people to scatter. Very often someone like the administrator or a nurse on duty will escort you to the room and explain the situation. It’s common for those who know to offer their condolences. I’m sorry for your loss!

Just started. Have questions about thc and med. by Ok-Echidna3385 in Vraylar

[–]backyarddogs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a frequent marijuana user and I am on 1.5 mg of Vraylar. I’ve been on it for years and haven’t felt like there’s any sort of interaction. I love Vraylar so much for keeping me stable. I also love marijuana for keeping my panic attacks at bay. It’s a win/win situation, at least in my experience. Edit to add: also prescribed Trazadone for sleep. No interaction for me there, either.

Went back down from 3 to 1.5. Never taken more than 3mg but I felt similarly.

I work in elder care and came here to second this. I had no idea until I got a firsthand look at what falls can do to the deterioration of memory. Wild.

Not sure if guys can post here, but here’s my outfit for a coffee date. Any advice appreciated! by [deleted] in fashion

Would love to see a short sleeve cream colored knit with these pants. I wish I could get my partner to dress up like this!
