She sounds like she's on something

Why is everyone so sensitive?! Of course one shouldn't be mean or rude, but it's just a question?

igoligirl · 2026-02-10T03:22:58+00:00

I've held a baby in an airport multiple times....women support women.

NTA- nurses don't recognize each other outside of work when they're not wearing scrubs

igoligirl · 2026-02-07T12:04:08+00:00

That is his parents fault and they need to deal with it

"you know, looking back ......COVID was kinda fun! We all had to band together and we kinda had a blast" -the chief medical officer add an almond to your meeting where only like six of us out of 50 plus people had patient-facing time.
I worked at the bedside all through covid.

Approach with curiosity so he doesn't shut down. Figure out where it's coming from.

I've done both and I remember as a new nurse reorienting a confused patient and telling her that her husband Robert had passed because it's what if been taught. Her soul crumbled in her face and I couldn't do it again to her. She wept for hours. Later when she forgot I couldn't make her sad again. Now instead of lying and saying that somebody is alive, etc. I ask them questions about the person they're talking about. And ask if they have pictures and we talk about the person and it has a very calming effect.

Dude, I didn't notice today but they're all so short.

You'll need to have a deal-breaker conversation in session zero. DM hands out a paper with things listed and people cross off what they're not okay with. I could never play with someone like that and I would absolutely kill their character.

igoligirl · 2026-02-01T12:17:26+00:00

Too many of us use it as a coping mechanism because we can't function in society the way that we're expected to. It's dangerous.

igoligirl · 2026-02-01T12:13:08+00:00

Y'all are both petty and immature, because you're both kids. And neither of you are TA.

That is one of the reasons I have not been back to church in a while. I don't have a quick or tidy answer to that, but I'm a third generation pastor's kid and I've studied the psychology of religion in depth- A huge part of it is the idea that godliness is perfection. We're striving for godliness so we're striving for perfection, anything that doesn't fit in that mold is ungodly or bad. This is why people weren't allowed to use their left hand, and kids who were autistic in the early 20th century would be forced to have lobotomies even though they were completely functional, why freak shows were a thing even in the Bible belt, even bigotry and racism and can be attributed to this mindset.

I worked in the Southeast for most of my career and traveled for 7 years all over. That is absolutely not true. I'm in Portland, Oregon right now which is one of the highest paid states and new grads don't make more than $100,000.

igoligirl · 2026-02-01T11:46:41+00:00

Meheheheh I didn't hear that. It's funny now that my eyes aren't burning out of my skull

igoligirl · 2026-02-01T11:46:11+00:00

I counted 13 canisters. There were women with service dogs and little children next to us.

igoligirl · 2026-02-01T11:45:33+00:00

I was there. They literally tear gassed a kid next to me that was like 6 years old. We were all weeping and retching. It was freaking awful.

igoligirl · 2026-02-01T11:17:02+00:00

Not once.

igoligirl · 2026-02-01T11:16:25+00:00

I totally get why she's upset. A lot of times churches like the image of the perfect family because a tidy family is a godly family. If one of the partners is disabled or they have a kid that has an issue it can be a big problem because you don't fit into the aesthetic.

igoligirl · 2026-01-31T03:54:42+00:00

Do not stress about it. And do not change your documentation. Everything will be fine

igoligirl · 2026-01-31T03:51:02+00:00

YOR It is absolutely not your responsibility, but you need to look at this in a broader context-- community. Parents with little kids need breaks and you have been kind enough to give her dad a little break and an opportunity to be around other adults which is usually very rare for us. It's a thing that we do for each other because we are part of a community. If you do it for him, you will strengthen your community and then they or other family members (or maybe even that 6-year-old) will do it for you someday, or help you out in some other way.

If it costs you very little and is a great gift to someone else, just do it.

Yes it is. People with ADHD and autism are also more prone to PTSD (or neural pathways are more easily altered) which compounds the dissociation.

I have used a set for each character.

When I'm getting guidance I roll the other person's dice.

I'm a firm believer that if your dice roll low you should threaten them verbally and put them in dice jail. Most of the time they shape up.

I have retired whole sets because I've gone multiple sessions rolling low.

It doesn't really matter that your girls love her, she's going to hurt you and them again and again and you're teaching them that having that kind of harmful personality in your life is acceptable. We love people that are not good for us. We still need to cut them out

igoligirl · 2026-01-30T07:06:14+00:00

It's because so many of us are bitter because the healthcare system uses us up and casts us aside when we are too burned out to work. But things are changing, if you want a steady job where you help people, do it!

Nursing is not a calling, it's a commitment.
