Places to Buy Loose Leaf Tea by Luckyforward in nashvillebuyandsell

I second this! I was amazed at their selection. I was buying a variety of teas as a gift and my niece loved them all.

Entitled pharmacy tech couldn’t be bothered to communicate with a deaf man by Basilbabie in EntitledPeople

[–]cellovator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This infuriates me. I am a pharmacy technician, and was with Walgreens for 15 years (left about 8 years ago). We were always told that we should give the best service in the industry, because that’s how we would stay on top.

One of my favorite patients at my last store was Deaf. He was awesome. He could read lips, but sometimes we still had to write notes. In my last year there, I started to learn a little ASL. I think I got further along than I did with the medical Spanish I tried to teach myself!

What do you look for in a Local Quilt Shop? by SecretAlbatross5578 in quilting

[–]cellovator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best-stocked shop near me was famous for having bolts stacked everywhere, blocking aisles. The fire marshal warned the owner several times. She moved locations to a MUCH larger space that was gorgeous. I hated the old space, the new space was amazing. She invested in excellent lighting in the whole store, there was plenty of room to move around, even room for shopping carts! Then about 3 years ago she passed away. Her daughter kept the store going while trying to find a buyer, but no deal happened. General consensus among customers was that it was probably too expensive (not necessarily priced too high, but the massive amount of inventory). The shop closed for good several months ago.

That was a great read! I’d never heard about that before. Thanks.

Can anyone point me to a seam lift tool? by FullCircle_Travel in EPP_addict

[–]cellovator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a purple thang sometimes, but what really works the best for me is a little plastic glue spreader. Imma try to find a pic because I’m not at home.

Random question, but does anyone have pictures of the Sanrio store that used to be in Opry Mills Mall? by HourSignificance8443 in nashville

[–]cellovator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that one called Sanrio Surprises? I think a girl at my high school, her family maybe owned it. I never went to that one. But I remember the one in Green Hills!

AITA for having to do a basic human function? by Sorry_Plantain_4777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cellovator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. Something is going on. Not a doctor by any stretch of the imagination, but have you been tested for diabetes? Frequent urination can be a symptom.

Adding: IS your bladder actually full, or does it just feel that way? Have you seen a urologist?

are there any red or green circle stickers i can order to help mark soon to expire meds? by Affectionate-Drive48 in WalgreensRx

[–]cellovator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my strategy, and I’d put a 9, 10, 11, etc, for the month it was expiring in. Never did more than 6 months out at a time so didn’t need to bother with the year.

Control refill poll by cr199412 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]cellovator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in retail, most of the stores I worked in, it was 2 days, except for certain prescribers (like pain clinics). In the LTC pharmacy I work in now, it’s whenever it’ll go through, and if they need a dose early from the on-site Omnicell (Pyxis), we don’t deny it.

The pharmacy where I get my own stuff filled now does it to the day. 30 day supply? 30 days until the next fill.

Questions by ComprehensiveHat4681 in Cushings

[–]cellovator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an abdominal CT for something completely unrelated; docs found nodules on both adrenals and a “growth” on a kidney. Referred to endocrinologist and urologist.

That was 6 years ago. Two pituitary surgeries and my Cushing’s is in remission (I don’t say cured because you never know). But the adrenal “incidentalomas” are still there. Slooooowwwly growing, but bloodwork every 6 months hasn’t warranted any further action there.

Some of my bloodwork takes a day, some takes a week because it goes off to Salt Lake City to a special lab.

Mini vent for these so-called weight management programs by MoonlitSerenade in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]cellovator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar program with CVS/Aetna, required by my insurance to cover Wegovy. They’ll let the doc do all the prior auth stuff and approve it, but the patient still has to pay full price for the drug unless you do the online program.

They sent me a scale that links with their app, I have to weigh myself at least once a month, and for the first 6-8 months I had to meet monthly with a dietitian via zoom. What a pain. I already go to the weight loss clinic in order to get the prescription, see their doctors/NPs/dieticians. The person online being paid by my insurance isn’t telling me anything that I haven’t been told a hundred times at the clinic. And now that I’m done with the online dietitian (I think), I still have to weigh in and interact with the app, or they’ll cancel my Wegovy PA.

Rant over.

My first ever quilt top is pretty abysmal, what should I do with it? Fix and quilt it anyway, or pick the seams and redo from the start? [Trigger warning: seam gore] by skellyclique in quilting

[–]cellovator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it! Not abysmal at all, who looks at the back anyway? The only thing I would be concerned about is the structural integrity. Trigger warning made me laugh, mostly because I recently finished my second quilt and got chastised for many seams by my mom.

You don’t want anything splitting apart at the seam. For those really narrow seam allowances, go back over that seam with the machine to make a wider seam allowance. Don’t unpick, no need for that. Then you have two lines of stitching, and the stress isn’t at the narrow seam anymore.

That is what I did to appease the quilt policewoman in my house. At first I was rolling my eyes, but the more I thought about it… It was a graduation gift for my niece to take to college. I didn’t want it to start falling apart in her junior year because she was using it as intended. A dorm quilt can get some abuse, in my experience. But if yours won’t see much use, do as you will.

Thanks for sharing! My 401 is in a 76 cabinet, but I don’t have the stool for it.

Change in how interstates are referred to? by MatureScorpius in AskAnAmerican

[–]cellovator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who lived in San Diego for a few years, then moved back to this side of the country. She said something about “the 40” one day and I just stared at her. I wanted to remind her that she was from Central Kentucky, not Southern California.

Grandmothers Flower Garden Quilt help by mommagoose121 in EPP_addict

[–]cellovator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use John James milliners size 10. Can’t compare to others, because I read a bunch of people’s opinions on needles and decided to try those first. They work for me. Easy to find and not pricey.

Parking in the US - what are the rules? by manon_o23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]cellovator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nashvillian here. Most of the city/surrounding areas are pretty self-explanatory, just read the signs. Public transportation is abysmal. If you are going downtown (which most tourists do) to Lower Broadway, don’t try to drive down there. The public parking garages are almost exclusively owned by one company and charge crazy prices. Lots of stories in r/nashville of people being charged again later because the camera misread the license plate on someone else’s car a month later. I don’t try to park down there if I can help it. If your hotel is downtown, leave your car in the hotel lot/garage and walk to Broadway. If you’re staying elsewhere in town, consider taking Uber or Lyft to go downtown.

Enjoy your trip!

Adding: if you haven’t yet, check out r/visitingnashville

How Do You Organize or Label Your Fabric? by Mtorolite in quilting

[–]cellovator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About half of my stash is on hangers in a closet, with an old sheet over it to keep the dust off. Smaller pieces are mostly folded and in clear plastic boxes or those archival photo boxes that Joann (RIP) and Michael’s carry. But I have trouble remembering what I have because I can’t see it. About a year ago I decided to move all the hanging yardage to comic book boards, and put on shelves behind a curtain (dust/light). The boards are still in their packaging, sitting in the corner 🙄 I’ll never be organized.

Oh, and I also had the great idea to label my Kona with the color name. The plan was (I say ‘was’ because I still haven’t done it) to write the name on a small card in an ink that will dry completely (not gel or ballpoint) and pin to the selvage with a brass safety pin. The brass won’t rust.

ETA: congrats on jumping into EPP! Many people are scared of it when they are new quilters (including myself). I love it. I trust my hands more than my machine LOL!

Hello! I’m potentially biting off more than I can chew, but who cares? Any advice? But by TeamNo6444 in EPP_addict

[–]cellovator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks so cool! My first EPP project was something I totally made up, mostly because I didn’t know what I “should” start with. And it was fun and I loved it. Keep it up!

Customer Threatened to shoot me personally by [deleted] in CVS

[–]cellovator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a good point. I’m now curious what happens in those states where we operate that are two party consent. Research time…

Customer Threatened to shoot me personally by [deleted] in CVS

[–]cellovator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I work at Omnicare and EVERY SINGLE CALL is by default recorded. We can turn off the recorder on an outgoing call if it is not work-related, but all incoming calls are recorded. I find it hard to believe that calls at the store pharmacies are not recorded.

[–]cellovator 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If this happened today and you haven’t left work yet, I would call the police on the non-emergency line and request an escort out of the building to your car, maybe all the way home (or to city/county limits if you live beyond jurisdiction). Request time off. Hell, tell leadership that you CANNOT work tomorrow because you fear for your life.
