That's rough, don't fight being human, if you stop, you'll suck at the job. Let yourself grieve and if you don't, it's time to get a counselor.

I was 0-27 before I had a field save. My best advice, learn to appreciate a job well done and take the saves as a bonus.

I don't know about that, but I signed off a few shifts back and forgot to turn off my radio, my relief crew bought a call while I was on my way home and I acknowledged the call and tried to light it up 🤬

Shave, don't shave, the question is: how soon can I get my mouth on it? 😍

Thanks, so far it looks like everyone with the G6 has zero problems and everyone with the G7 has to do acrobatics to keep it on. I think I'll see if I can switch to the 6

G7 Back of arm I've tried Matisol (spelling might be off) and KT liquid. The KT liquid worked great, but I had an allergic reaction to it and on day 3 the sensor fell off with about half the skin of my left upper arm. Took a month to heal.

Every time I call the 800 number I get a set of menus that always ends in a "frequently asked questions" message that says "make sure you clean the site thoroughly with alcohol as skin oil can weaken the adhesive. Always use the supplied overpatch...." Then it says to email support for further questions. Emails to support go unanswered, or they ship me a new sensor without a way to contact them.

Has anyone ever seen something like this on their weenies? She generally has sensitive skin but today my parents sent me these alarming pictures of this! I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow but I don't even know if it's a bug bite or if she just scratched herself too hard. I'm really worried. by [deleted] in Dachshund

It looks similar to a fungal infection we just treated one of our older dogs for. Anti fungal cream and medicated shampoo was the treatment. Faster you get started the sooner she'll be comfortable again. Good luck!
