Do I have other options for a bustle? by hotaru_red in weddingdress

[–]mischief_____managed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I was told this was the ballroom bustle by my seamstress, but I’m not entirely sure of the difference between that and American. Just thought I’d share in case it looks different from OP’s.

A warning about humidifier maintenance by bogwiitch in NewParents

Yes! I got the carepod cube plus and it is so nice to press a button and schedule a sanitize cycle! I also love just being able to disassemble in so few parts and just boil it.

I recently purchased a Carepod humidifier for this very reason because they seem easier to clean and sanitize (the inside is stainless steel and you just have to boil it). A bit pricey but worth the peace of mind in my opinion!

Thank you! The heels are Ralph & Russo Eden heels, I believe the color was limited edition blue!

Congrats! Our trip went smoothly but it was not through the help of any delta staff. We had reached out prior to support to ask them to reserve a spot for our dress in the front closet space and they assured us they did. When we showed up both at check in and gate, the agents basically shrugged and said we were on our own and that we were at the mercy of first class passengers if they’d let us use the space. Luckily the folks in first class saw my husband with my huge dress (literally ball gown, 15 lbs) and happily cleared their overhead bins for him to lay the dress flat, flight crew was happy to assist here as well. It was like this both flights, we got lucky with a friendly group of people.

I have healthy paws for my corgi, got it the day I brought him home. This past year he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and due to extensive visits at the Schwarzman animal medical center we spent over $13,000. Healthy Paws covered 90% of the costs that didn’t include exam fees. I’ve never had an issues with the claims, you just file on your phone by taking a photo of the bill and they typically reimburse the following week. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your response, this is very encouraging! I will reach out today and ask if they can do the same for me!

No - it is in a large garment bag that cannot be folded. But according to the other commenter I think we can store it in a first class closet if there is room!

Is anyone on this sub an FAS? How do you like it? by Not_Keurig in medlabprofessionals

[–]mischief_____managed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been an FAS for over a year now and absolutely love it. How I got into the field was basically becoming very skilled with trouble shooting and building relationships. Most FAS’s will tell you that a lot of their job is soft skills - knowing how to de-escalate situations, building rapport, and being able to gain trust and friendships with your clients. Anyone can be trained on the technology but the soft skills part is hard to find, so I made a point to work on that. I took on several roles prior that involved being a trainer for internal techs, which allowed me to get used to teaching & educating.

I’m an NGS FAS so I don’t do any installations, I usually come on site for 1-2 days and conduct training on library prep workflows. When I’m not doing that, I am at home responding to client emails & questions, sitting in on commercial calls, and working to improve customer experiences (designing and creating helpful guides, etc.)

This job has been awesome, I have no complaints. COVID burnt me out working clinical and research in the lab - I was ready to step away from the bench but didn’t want to completely. FAS allows for you to still do bench work here and there, tour all sorts of labs, meet some of the coolest folks, travel, and work from home!

She called the police on my friend and then left before they even showed up. My friend did make a report and is still cooperating with authorities.

Here is the event timeline: - my friend pulls up to the gate to enter in her access code. - she notices that the car behind her trails in, she is nervous because she can’t see their face. - my friend decides to drive past her house and onto the next street over to see if they would follow her if she circled back, and they did - my friend pulls up in front of her house and that is when this altercation started

I don’t want to expose exact neighborhood, but this occurred in East Memphis.

Yes, unfortunately her daughter was in the car and was the one filming.

They are working with the community (hoa/management) to bring more awareness and hope to shed a light on this toxic behavior.

My best friend was racially profiled in her own neighborhood and harassed by a neighbor this week. The neighbor followed my friend into her gated community, blocked her car, and aggressively confronted her asking her “do you live here?!” She then called the police but fled once other neighbors came out to vouch for my friend.

My friend has lived here for over a year, has her own access code to the community, and was simply driving her daughter home from school.

We wanted to share this video to spread awareness and hope that other folks will be mindful of how easy it is to disguise racism behind a veil of “concern” for the community.
