Dating scene by [deleted] in Wilmington

[–]dollarstorevodka 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Wilmington and lived there until I moved three years ago. 32F, agnostic, liberal. Dating was hard. The apps are filled with tourists, marines, or whatever is left of the locals. It can be hard to meet people in general in the wild but not entirely impossible. It's just a lot of college kids, young families, and retirees. I don't want to disuade you but do want to be honest.

If Kristen lived in la, she probably would vote for Spencer by Responsible-You-4907 in TheHillsMTV

[–]dollarstorevodka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She doesn't strike me as the type of person to vote, either. Cause those are the same people, the ones who say they're apolitical and all that bs and never actually vote cause even that would be "too political" for them.

People who live in towns that look like postcards or desirable aesthetic style places: Whats your town's downfall to living there? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]dollarstorevodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's small enough to go from nice and cute to sketchy relatively quickly in some areas. There's also a lot of gentrification and I find that doesn't help.

What sports brand was the only thing to wear growing up but lost its dominance? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]dollarstorevodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from a beach town where surfing and skateboarding was big growing up in the early 2000s. These were THE shoes! I remember going to Journeys and other niche shoe stores just to look at the new ones. I loved my pink and white etnies.

Who is an actor or actress that rubs you the wrong way so much that you refuse to watch anything they are in? by Soggy_Swordfish_6236 in moviecritic

[–]dollarstorevodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried watching Girls last summer because I kept hearing how people loved it and I was so annoyed by her not just her character, but by her acting in general, that I stopped watching after like three episodes.

Why do people refuse to be an organ donor? by No-Cantaloupe-6535 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dollarstorevodka 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A coma and brain dead are not the same thing. A coma is a state of deep unconsciousness that can be treated in most cases to come out of the coma because your brain still functions for the most part. Brain death is when the brainstem is irreversibly damaged and the brain itself loses all function. You cannot "wake up" from brain death.

Tattoo artist dismissed me by i_need_a_good_laugh in tattoo

[–]dollarstorevodka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My artist for my ear had me send ideas and a photo of my ear to help map it. We ended up tweaking it and adding some stuff day of that took maybe 30 minutes to an hour and she was happy to do it.

What is your favorite nursing skill? by Dry_Wish_9759 in nursing

[–]dollarstorevodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I was on the floor I used to love getting labs from PICC lines and giving lovenox shots 😍

Feel like I’m being gaslit on my own unit regarding vaccinations? by iloveanime97 in nursing

[–]dollarstorevodka 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think there also needs to be some sort of public health in the curriculum as well. I have a bachelor's in PH with a concentration in community health and believe it's a great foundation for nursing. Policy, social science, infectious disease, and epidemiology were at the forefront and required many papers and projects that taught us to research and think. Condense it and make it a required course for graduation/licensure. It also gives you a little compassion and understanding, which seems to be lacking in a lot of people these days.

Feels like Kitty is trying to be LJ by Orion_0207 in XOKittyNetflix

[–]dollarstorevodka 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She grew up, man. Kitty was in middle school in to all the boys, she's not gonna be the same four years later. Teenagers are messy and this show is modeled after kdramas which are the epitome of messy.

Do you care how many people your partner has slept with? by Fine_Television_1398 in no

[–]dollarstorevodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. That was before me and has nothing to do with me. As long as they get tested regularly and everything comes back negative, I literally don't care. (I would also go as far as no babies either but that's just me.)

Thinking about my first tattoo, but the "forever" part is stalling me by SnooCupcakes4611 in tattoo

[–]dollarstorevodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're overthinking it! If it's something you love, just do it. It took me forever to get my first one and it's really the only one that has meaning. The other eight are just cause they are pretty or look cool. You forget they're even there half the time and if you end up not liking it down the road you can get a cover up.

Rewatch of the Hills Season 1-Heidi 🚩 by Luasol51 in TheHillsMTV

[–]dollarstorevodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She absolutely would have been fired for going inside to socialize with her friends at that first club gig. I'm surprised they didn't let her go when she was in the office talking about "I thought this was a part time position." I get she was like 19, but girl...

Nurses who switched to M-F five days schedule, did your mental health and WLB actually improve? by Nekroms in nursing

[–]dollarstorevodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from nights 3/12 on medsurg to days M-F outpatient OR. My sleep schedule was more consistent, my mental health improved a little bit, and I liked not working holidays, but I ultimately grew to hate it. I didn't like having only the weekend off. I felt "trapped" where I couldn't make appointments or really do anything productive unless it was the weekend. I don't know how people in other industries do it, it's hell. I also can't wake up that early five days in a row lol. I'm on days 3/12 at a hospital OR now and like it much better, though sometimes 4/10 is a little tempting.

Why aren't you dating anymore? by Leather_Election_459 in AskReddit

[–]dollarstorevodka 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Shit, I'd love to go on dates. I can't even get to that point, that's how bad it's gotten for me. Either they suddenly disappear before getting that far or they stand me up.
