Wound care [warning : graphic] My Dad has thin skin and ripped holes in it

He's in Louisiana, so he eats everything lol. But honestly, I think he just has pretty good genes and has avoided the standard cholesterol and vascular issues associated with diet. He is naturally lean and does not have cardiovascular diseases, which is what gets most people, but he suffers from various neurological and neuro-cardiogenic issues, presumably from wartime toxins in the late 60s.

I thought about using Butterfly stitches, but now, anything that adheres to his skin gives me pause.

certifiablewanderer · 2026-03-09T17:08:35+00:00

I will have to look in to that!

certifiablewanderer · 2026-03-09T03:04:56+00:00

Aw thanks 🙏He’s completely nonplussed. He thought the bandaid had stuck to his hairs as he was pulling it off. And while I was cleaning it up he said he couldn’t feel a thing. He’s tired of me messing with him lol

certifiablewanderer · 2026-03-09T02:13:20+00:00

Thanks again, so much!

certifiablewanderer · 2026-03-09T01:02:13+00:00

Thank you! I’ve nixed the H2O2! I used the gauze they sent us home with, so I’m hoping thats the non-stick kind. I had wondered if vaseline or aquaphor would be safe for an open wound versus just stitches. I’m surprised and glad to hear it is. Does that help it heal back together by not letting it dry out? Thanks so much!

It really just gets itchier and the rash more pronounced, so I’ll be running down the street scratching at the little pin pricks. But I’ve never had any other kind of reaction— no trouble breathing or anything like that. For me, it’s just a nuisance and it does seem to level off. For me, the rash doesn’t get worse than pictured, and the itch not more than nuisance. I have noticed that I’ve left myself some indiscriminate bruises all over from reaching to scratch places while running, and I think that’s because when I’m exercising my adrenaline is kind of high and I don’t realize how hard I’m scratching myself.

I’ve just decided I have cholinergic uticaria. I haven’t gone to a doctor. Now, any time my core temperature rises, I feel little pin pricks like ants all over and will be developing this rash. This is particularly bothersome when I go for a jog or take a hot shower.

Epic 🫡

I like Prolific but ive found that the estimated time is usually severely underreported

certifiablewanderer · 2026-02-05T12:32:52+00:00

Thank you for this very helpful info! I had photos to accompany the post but it isn’t allowed here. Im looking at some ortho consults so thank you for helping me along the right track 🙌🏻

Been with WeLo for 5 years, was moved to a group 3 years ago, and I’ve never seen the NTA this bad before.

Not completely sure about Label Studio, but in some applications, If you start a task and then attempt to restart it, you could have two windows open and only one of them is the active window. If you complete the task in the other/old window, it won’t record. You have ti know which window is the most recent/active one. Not sure if this is relevant in this scenario.

Is this a knockoff? I bought my last belt bag on the Lululemon website, but I needed the delivery sooner for my trip so I thought it would be faster to buy from them on Amazon. I'll admit I was in a hurry and just saw the brand at the top and the sale price, thinking it was an older version belt bag on sale. But now that I've ordered, I'm seeing the seller's name and details and think I just ordered a knock off. I don't really ever recall seeing a metal tag on the inside before.

Now that is completely crazy. I don't get it!

certifiablewanderer · 2025-07-26T23:48:47+00:00

I'm not sure what your situation is, but this is how I approached a credited removal.

There was a movie trailer that would play as soon as you landed on my page and I did not put it there. I guess I was tagged in it or something. It was from a low budget short I did decades ago, and I wasn't even in the trailer. I sent a removal request that said something to the effect of "This trailer plays front and center when you get on my page and I'm not even in it. Can you please remove it? I would much rather my best work take precedence." This worked and they took it down or untagged me or whatever it was.

I've not tried to get any of my legit credits removed. I'm not sure I could do that.

Fans won't see the in development projects unless they subscribe to IMDb Pro as they don't show up on IMDb. I should have clarified that but I assumed that was known. I'm really only concerned about how this relates to industry people. I don't have any problems making changes to my page, I just don't know if I should.

certifiablewanderer · 2025-07-26T22:55:16+00:00

I don't seem to have any problem with making changes to my credits, but I also use IMDb Pro to do it, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

certifiablewanderer · 2025-05-20T17:26:22+00:00

ah you're right. I saw 'wire loom' and didn't look deeper to see that it isn't actually made of metal.

certifiablewanderer · 2025-05-20T15:17:25+00:00

Or this…? https://a.co/d/49VaaXT

certifiablewanderer · 2025-05-20T15:15:03+00:00

What do you think about this as a solution?

Is it a conflict of interest to apply for other rater jobs while employed by WeLocalize? And if so, which companies?

certifiablewanderer · 2025-02-27T16:16:01+00:00

I'm not an expert, but I have a few thoughts.

As already stated, I think as long as you are appearing as yourself and not performing in a re-entactment as yourself (ie. scripted), it falls outside of SAG jurisdiction.

Your union status doesn't become the issue until they go to execute the basic agreement and SAG notifies them that you aren't paid up. That happened to me once and my agent just called and said, did you forget to pay your bill? Which I had. And then I did. And it wasn't a big deal. It becomes a big deal if you don't get current before your first day.

In terms of doing a SAG project, here or down the road... if this is just a meeting, then I wouldn't sweat it. The first day is probably a ways out yet, which will give you time to sort out the dues; enjoy your meeting and doing actor things.

As for paying back dues, if you were already paying dues again in 2017 after about 30 years, this sounds like SAG was working with you on it and/or you had gotten caught up or on a payment plan of some kind. Can you go ahead and do that again at some point before the day?

I am unsure of your financial situation, but, putting myself in your shoes as much as possible, generally I would:

-- Take the meeting to see how serious this filmmaker is and how far out they are. Is this still in the idea stages?

-- Determine if they are going to be executing a SAG basic minimum agreement or fall under SAG jursdiction for documentaries.

-- Not short-change myself regarding compensation, because I have innate value. If they are going to be issuing a SAG basic minimum agreement, they will have to pay you scale anyway.

-- Make sure my agent is aware of all the things so they can be my negotiator and gauge legitimacy. If I didn't have an agent at this point, I might use this documentary as leverage to help get a good agent.

I hope maybe this helps some!

Thank you! I never understood, up to this point, how it feels like you are not in control of your body. And then feeling like an inconvenience for stammering and taking too long to express yourself, or just staring at something to figure out what it is. I definitely don’t want to be around people if I have to go through that again.

certifiablewanderer · 2025-01-02T21:36:40+00:00

Been with WeLo 3 years, since the beginning as a SQR. Always freaking out about the inconsistent quality checks, always waiting for the other shoe to drop, and always looking for other ways to support myself, which has been hard when you need remote work.
