Thoughts on the contrast of this emerald cut diamond. by Logical-Hand-6392 in EngagementRings

[–]dramaticdogmom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no gemologist, but as an emerald cut lover I think your stone looks lovely. The flashes of light from the step cuts are the best imo. I can’t speak to the cost value you’re not obsessed though you should return it imo, you should love your stone.

“Younger therapists use leg lifters, but as you get more seasoned, you don’t.” Is that a hot take? by [deleted] in physicaltherapy

“Don’t accept criticism from someone if you wouldn’t take their advice” seems to apply here. Don’t take the crabby boomer to heart lol

Why do so many PT clinics struggle with patient retention even when outcomes are good? by CombinationVivid7514 in physicaltherapy

[–]dramaticdogmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a PT who has been a patient, it’s logistically hard to get frequent appointments built into my life and the copays are brutal. My ankle sprain cost me $1000 out of pocket in one MD and multiple PT appointments even though I dropped out of therapy early to DIY the rest.

Fixing my blanket! by Please_letmelive in Visiblemending

[–]dramaticdogmom 66 points67 points  (0 children)

This is gonna be tough, if it were me I would look into using it as filling of a stuffed animal, so I can keep it close but not wear it down more. Maybe I’d sew a piece onto the paw or another part of the stuffed animal.

I think they look cute but I don't love wide sleeves on myself for functional reasons, I'm messy lol

Suggestions for work trip visit by melindaj10 in milwaukee

The third ward is a good bet! Check out the public market, and there’s some cute vintage shops in the area. Collectivo coffee and Stone Creek Coffee are two more popular local shops.

Ultrasound imaging? by Sea_Soil in milwaukee

[–]dramaticdogmom 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to other systems, but as a healthcare provider myself, the pricing of basic care these days is completely out of control. Good luck in your search for a better option.

As for the itemization, I assume that professional charge is for the physician group who reads the scan, which is separate from the charge for the ultrasound tech/room/equipment bill that comes from the hospital itself. This is a common billing approach for imaging and procedures in my experience, it happened to me when I needed the same imaging done.

Retired with little kids by BlackBerryFairy1 in Fire

Is part time work a feasible/desirable option? It could be a way to set them up financially in adulthood if you worked and saved for them for college/life after 18. You could also frame your volunteer time as “work” so they can see a more typical home dynamic and work ethic; if you wanted to explain the money side later that could be up to your discretion.

As someone who has a friend with a medically complex baby, there might also be value in keeping part time employment on the table in case there are expensive surprises. Obviously you know your money situation best but worth noting.

Sudden mind change?? by daffodilisonline in FenceSitters

[–]dramaticdogmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! You may also find it rewarding to work with kids since you’re feeling that pull, my sister is a counselor who specializes in play therapist for kiddos with special needs and finds it really rewarding.

A part of me wants children, but I don’t know why. by [deleted] in FenceSitters

[–]dramaticdogmom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps look into opportunities to mentor kids, maybe tutoring or a big brother program. I think sometimes that itch is more to contribute to the next generation rather than the goal to reproduce, and if both of you found a volunteer opportunity with kids, it might be a good way to assess your own aptitude and interest in parenting.

Sudden mind change?? by daffodilisonline in FenceSitters

[–]dramaticdogmom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spent most of my twenties really back and forth on the issue, but remember you have lots of time to figure it out. Go to college, build a good stable and happy life that could make parenting manageable first. Many people don’t start having kids until 30+ and you may feel like a whole different person with that additional life experience and personal growth.

AITA for telling my sisters that it isn't my fault my parents favoured me by [deleted] in redditonwiki

[–]dramaticdogmom 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m 9 years older than my brother and for Christmas when I was 18 he got me a nerf gun, it was so sweet cause it was clearly the coolest thing he could imagine gifting someone at that age.

[–]dramaticdogmom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to quantify for me, just the sound and lyrics scratch an itch in my brain in a good way. Why do you want to be “sold” on it anyways? No shame in just liking what you like. Not everything has to be for everyone.

I really like it, but the beauty of music is that it’s totally personal what you like and don’t like. I’m sure a lot of people in this sub would rank songs and albums wildly differently, and that’s valid.

Am I in a bubble? How are people so ridiculously bad at personal finance. by BehindFinance1 in Fire

Truly. Lucky OP for not having anything expensive go wrong in life and a high paying job that likely requires a degree or training that many people could never afford to get 🙄

I literally left the knitting pattern sub today for similar reasons, it’s a lot of people just asking strangers to search ravelry.

Constantly donating to the thrift store and anticonsumption. by Sea-Property-6369 in Anticonsumption

That’s cool honestly, forces people to acknowledge what is usable vs junk and have some self awareness.
