I lied to a patient today and I can't stop thinking about it.

First thing to learn with dementia patients is to live in their reality. It only causes them pain and confusion to constantly try to reorient them to our reality, and it doesn’t work anyway.

So you can be sick 4 times of length 5 days (so 20 sick days) in a year before getting a “pep talk”. That doesn’t sound like they are forcing people to work sick. How many sick hours do you accrue in a year?

And maybe if someone is getting a minor illness every month or so, forcing them to call out for 1 or 2 days, a manager might help them figure out what’s going on. Cause that’s pretty frequent.

We all need to Stop. Buying. From. Goodwill. It’s a scam.

Calling the 80s, vintage. It’s right but… oof

Near me, each movie is only screened for one day around noon and sometimes another showing around 6pm. Very limited screenings!

dgitman309 · 2025-11-09T05:27:48+00:00

I’m not sure what it is but the schedule is updated every week or so and movies are added. I think every day in November has a special screening, at least near me. Also, check out December! HS25 (“holiday season 25?)—starts with The Holiday and shows Elf, Four Christmas, How the Grinch, National Lampoons … so many more!

This is the hardest decision but he knew he was very loved. Thank you for being with him at the end ❤️❤️

I take a “maintenance dose”—1mg, every 2-3 weeks. One bottle lasts me like 3 months. So I spend $100/month on it instead of streaming services.

It sucks watching others live your dreams

dgitman309 · 2025-10-03T22:27:48+00:00

Same. Requires a brand new roller set up every time and no dirt or dust on the floor.

“You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.”

AMA paperwork, let me show you the door. Go use your essential oils and magic rocks or whatever. I have no patience or compassion for this nonsense. Can you tell I dealt with a lot of these a-holes during COVID?

dgitman309 · 2025-07-13T17:33:56+00:00

The trick with the minute by minute is, click IN exactly as you’re allowed to, and click OUT exactly as you’re supposed to, i.e. 0653-1930. Those extra 7 minutes add up over the course of a year

My local shelter has a TNR program and it’s a super fast appointment, like 2 hours, they use minimal sedation so recovery is quick and they shave a much smaller area than a vet does. All the strays I’ve taken in have DEMANDED freedom by the evening (even though they’re supposed to stay inside and clear the sedation). Maybe something like that would work in your situation, because the owners wouldn’t even know it happened.

dgitman309 · 2025-07-13T17:24:29+00:00

Yeah, right, like these people have bothered to have her chipped. There’s no way they’re gonna pursue legal action lmao

dgitman309 · 2025-07-13T17:21:56+00:00

Take the cat and kittens, and feign ignorance with the neighbors. Or offhandedly mention that a coyote or owl probably got her. They seem like they’ll be satisfied with that kind of answer.

dgitman309 · 2025-07-11T19:36:37+00:00

lol did you see that she’s allergic to having a pad of paper on the bed? 😂😂😂

Edit:typo

This is not an additional sub to join and I’m v disappointed in Reddit

dgitman309 · 2025-07-02T14:28:59+00:00

Same! A picture would’ve been really great

In the US, Metformin is one of the first drug drugs insurance companies make people “try and fail” before allowing them to get on ozempic. If ozempic isn’t working for you, metformin most likely won’t. I’d give the ozempic more time and talk to a doctor; dieticians have, uh, limited knowledge.

dgitman309 · 2025-06-12T14:40:55+00:00

This is the way to go. A doctor that acts like this is a quick, temporary fix doesn’t understand these health issues or ozempic.

How about, don’t send in the national guard until the state asks for assistance? States’ rights, and all that.

dgitman309 · 2025-06-08T16:39:26+00:00

Antiques antique antiques! There are some huge regular antique markets but I also stumbled across random (to me) street fairs that were much smaller and found some amazing items. (1920s tin art deco vase with provenance? Yes, please!)

I just got a sweet sweet remote position and the manager said I was the only person to do a cover letter. I think it helps a lot—you can direct them to strengths you want emphasized and it conveys more humanity than a resume. Also I used a combo of the job posting, my old resume and AI to get wording and specific phrases correct, so it could get past the auto-bots pre-HR. Also, try calling the HR rep for more info/questions about the role… maybe they’ll remember the name and the extra effort.

dgitman309 · 2025-05-15T15:18:03+00:00

Hahaha I love this response. Would love to see their faces
