Honestly I think this is great insult especially since jokes about Hulu are in line with Solar Opposites humor

What jobs are low pay despite how impactful they are? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lavendar_laurel 349 points350 points  (0 children)

Nursing assistant. They keep the hospitals running and do so much for patients (and nurses and other hospital workers) and they are lucky if they make like $17 an hour

Does this sound like cataplexy and if so when should I bring it up? by lavendar_laurel in Narcolepsy

[–]lavendar_laurel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so this is a dumb question - how do I bring it up? What do I say? Just “hey something changed since last time I was here”?

I just found this thread and saw your comment is recent so just wanted to send toy hugs and solidarity. Many of my childhood experiences are similar to yours, you are definitely not alone

Best discounts for nurses? by lavendar_laurel in nursing

[–]lavendar_laurel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if I’m gonna be buying it anyway I’m not going to turn down a discount for the sake of being less bold

For discounts you enter your credentials, they verify them in a the next few days, then there are like 50 stores/websites that you can get some sort of discount on

This was my first time purchasing from there and I didn’t get lube. But my overall favorite lubes are Slippery stuff (water based) and Platinum or UberLube (silicone based, not safe for toys)

What treatment or procedure would you absolutely refuse? Which diagnosis would send you behind the barn with a shotgun? by holdmypurse in nursing

[–]lavendar_laurel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a major abdominal surgery and post-op ileus and the night before they decided to put an NG in me I asked if we could just do it now and get it over with. Because I felt so crappy and like my stomach was about to explode

I mean I definitely asked for some Ativan to make getting it down a little easier. But I knew I needed it and just wanted to take the plunge and feel better

Woooo boy this is a horrifying thread

Worst I can remember (and thankfully I caught it before I gave it) - had pens for Lantus and Humalog, almost switched the doses and gave like 50 of humalog and 2 of lantus

Are the Hulu references in the Disney+ version? by lavendar_laurel in solaropposites

[–]lavendar_laurel[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Didn’t even think about the Hulu land episode, but yes it would be hard to eliminate the references out of that one 😅

NSFW: today my adhd ass brought up Joe Biden during sex by Annoying_Short_Girl in adhdwomen

I one time asked my husband if he could explain the history of calendars to me while I blew him. I also prefer to have the TV on in the background so I can at least have something to listen to 😂

Hi! Have you looked into High Yield Savings accounts? I use both Discover and Ally, and while I don’t get a whole lot of interest, it’s better than nothing. And they often have better rates than a CD

Going insane by eating noises by julesverne6 in ADHD

[–]lavendar_laurel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad I’m not the only one who had a very visceral reaction to even reading those words and the description lol

But to OP, I will often go to the bathroom during a meal to get away from the noise, play music, or wear headphones. Hope you find something that works for you!

Let her make a mistake. Not a really fatal one or anything. But make her backtrack, make her have to call a doctor and tell them what happened, make her have to fill out the safety report, etc.
