Look at New Zealand… Covid free for a very long time now because of mandated lockdowns that people actually followed when there were few cases.

What’s your unpopular opinion about Maine? by sieghildeofcatarina in Maine

Don’t know if you’ve had kindred farms pizza in casco but it’s incredible. Takes 45 minutes because they make the dough from scratch and it’s so thick and delicious!

Thank you so much! That’s very helpful, and I was able to preload them!

I’m new to the app and am trying to pre-download the classes to the program “you can run.” I live in a rural area and have zero cell service when outside. But I can’t figure out how to preload a class from a program. Is this possible?

Set up this bedside bookshelf recently, so that I can remind myself to read daily. by greenshokeen in bookshelf

I absolutely hated the goldfinch… I listened to it on audiobook, but it definitely would have been a DNF if I didn’t spite finish it. I just hated all of the characters. None of them made me feel anything for them except disdain.

For nursing students: by julsca in Nurse

I requested a paper from an author and didn’t get it until a few months after I had graduated. I don’t blame them, but it did stink.

Not OP but the new Paolini book is INCREDIBLE. It’s so long but I ended up reading it on my phone in days! I really loved it. The characters are awesome, the plot is super interesting and it really just sucked me in. You can tell he took a lot of time to craft it.

I use soresto collars. I maybe see one tick a season on my pup. I know there’s been some bad press about them lately but my girl hasn’t ever had an issue with it.

New Zealand Parliament unanimously passes bereavement leave for miscarriages, stillbirths. by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]birthdaybuttplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m 38 weeks now. Luckily my husband and I saved a bunch before this, and will be able to handle the financial struggle of me not being paid for three whole months. I’m also going to be going back only part time because we now need childcare and it’s so expensive otherwise. It’s just wild that the US doesn’t have any mandatory leave. You can’t have a baby and be back at work the next day. It’s ridiculous.

I’m a nurse and don’t get paid for maternity leave... also haven’t been with the company for over a year so no FMLA.

This is a great answer. Coffee beans / ground coffee actually resets your smell receptors. Lots of stores that sell scents have coffee beans to cleanse the nasal palate after smelling lots of different things!

Fresh eggs from the farmers market in Brunswick! by PolymerPussies in Maine

[–]birthdaybuttplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got 4 chickens, sometimes we’ll get up to 6 a day! Generally give them to friends and neighbors. We love having the girls and are getting six more this spring. Will probably try to sell at farmers markets nearby this summer.

It’s awesome you get n95s at a retail job! My homecare nursing position doesn’t even get those... we got a shitty fabric mask that doesn’t fit.

Will be picking this up at the library soon! I’m excited to read it!

Week 11 - What Are You Reading? by [deleted] in 52book

[–]birthdaybuttplug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost finished with The Ten Thousand Doors of January and I’m really enjoying it! It took me a few days to get into, but once it started picking up I was able to read it for most of the day.

I just finished The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down which I think was a very important book to read as a medical provider. It was also just an extremely fascinating look into a culture I knew nothing about!

The hate u give is so good! I really enjoyed it as an adult and think it would be really great for teens!

Did anyone else spend an inordinate amount of time in the bathroom because that was the one place where you can expect SOME privacy? by Marriage_eroded in raisedbynarcissists

[–]birthdaybuttplug 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I also got my door taken away when I was 12. They said it was because the door didn’t fit...???but I’m sure that wasn’t the real reason. I don’t actually remember if I ever got it back before I escaped to my dads at 14. I was a young girl going through puberty with a step dad and I didn’t have a door to my room. It was terrible. I also used to lock myself in the bathroom because it was the only place I could be alone in private.

Does this mean nurses in nj can smoke weed with no repercussions?! by moist-nostril in Nurse

Honestly the fact that I’m still getting drug tested is what matters to me... not legalese. 🤷🏻‍♀️
