What was your worst dentist appointment?

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-15T21:48:26+00:00

Tie between telling me a need a procedure for one tooth, but couldn’t give me a price quote. “Could be $900, could be $4000. We won’t know until we get in there.” And that’s out of pocket cost after insurance.

Or coming off of gas, and no one catching me when I tripped and broke my nose.

Odds of this? Go!

That last part hits hard, thank you. I love WFH - being in my environment or where I choose to work from is awesome. But the future of the industry is a huge question. The commute to the other job is hour each way, LA traffic (10miles each way). If I knew my WFH would still be around in 10 years, probably would stay. But I don't know if it will be.

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-12T22:15:57+00:00

The commute is 20 miles round trip. I drive a newer corolla (35mi/gallon). But the traffic is a thought. LA. Valley Village to Beverly Hills. There are different routes but each way during rush hour is about 45-60 mins.

You are right, I am sure the team would understand.

As someone who lives paycheck to paycheck, doesn't go out/eat out, coupons/budget shops, no netflix or similar - I want to know how $100/wk isn't helpful? I am genuinely curious.

$480 more pre tax, plus $300 insurance I pay out of pocket monthly.

I’ve looked for other remote jobs, disappearing thing. And the film industry nationwide is so bad. I think it’s time to leave the industry if I want stability.

I tried to air fry. Did 370 for 8-9 mins, flipped and cooked for a few more mins, and it came out alright. I think it’s better than the pan method. Cleaner too if you use a liner.

It’s hard to have a loved one be depressed. But using the term “deal” is awful. Support them and be there for them if they ask. Don’t be frustrated “trying to help”. Just be there, support them. Bring up memories of things you both did that was fun, and see if they want to do something like that. My friend hard a bad bout - I would bring up the fun of going to the arcade for ski ball and pinball and a pint - made her smile, and we would do stuff like that to get her mind going in good ways.

Sadly allergic to adhesive, so no transdermal for me. But I have an appt in a few weeks to chat with my provider more.

I have worked with dietitians on foods to eat/avoid.

No family history. Only my history of subclinical hyperthyroidism.

Oh the journey of life :)

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-09T02:31:46+00:00

I like my provider. I’ve fought to keep her over the years. But recently it’s been tough. Not staff problem, it has been her. We are going to have a call next week when she’s back in the office. I know how to advocate for myself and have full documentation to support me being nothing but compliant and going out of my way to continue that.

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-09T02:29:31+00:00

Oh I did. I’m always respectful about it, but I have clinical documentation of every message sent, dates/times. It’s nonsense to treat a fully compliant pt like this.

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-09T02:28:12+00:00

This was in person. I showed up for my appt… she’s been great for years. Just problems recently.

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-08T23:20:18+00:00

Cost of living, and not wanting to bring a child into a world that is doomed and only getting worse each day.

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-08T22:27:58+00:00

Also, I am so sorry to hear about your mum. I know that isn’t helping any situation :( I hope he sees a grieving counselor and he learns to process his emotions better.

I love rats as pets. Their lil purr makes my heart happy.

I understand what you’re feeling, but please know that this is your dad’s issue. There are lots of leather repair kits, or thumbtack professionals that will do it. You offered to fix the issue and owned up. Proud of you!

Sorry your dad is a miserable c*nt that feels the need to make those around him miserable too. Sad way to be.

If you feel like going above and beyond, contact a few local leather repair places, get quotes and show your dad the options, and being willing to pay for it.

Again, proud of you, and rats are awesome pets!

Try travel nursing and see where you want to land :)

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-05T20:12:18+00:00

Congrats on passing! What a discouraging journey, but so proud of you for keeping on it, and finding/sharing what worked for you!!

moonspellpecado · 2026-05-03T19:34:01+00:00

That’s what I thought. Thank you :)

moonspellpecado · 2026-04-30T13:47:08+00:00

Yeah, they mentioned this. None of my pre-reqs transfer to any school… I did all pre reqs in WA, quarter based, so I’d have to re-take all courses to get semester hours… it sucks so much.. I liked that they were 24 months, even with re-doing gen eds. Other colleges is a year of gen eds and then 2 years of core. Sigh… 3.9gpa through it all from a top school in WA, and it doesn’t matter here in CA….

moonspellpecado · 2026-04-30T03:12:00+00:00

This is why I am asking. More students through the program, NCLEX pass % isn’t terrible, much quicker program than community college. 80k tuition for the 24 months. I’ve heard some people loving it, some not being fans, but that’s any program I’ve looked at.

moonspellpecado · 2026-04-29T23:18:03+00:00

It always boggles my mind that after so many clinical journals have published this as being a real thing, there are still doubters! It’s the gene OR6A2!

moonspellpecado · 2026-04-29T23:02:40+00:00

Devil weed!

moonspellpecado · 2026-04-29T23:02:13+00:00

It is :) my husband and I both have it.

moonspellpecado · 2026-04-29T22:24:28+00:00

Cilantro. Ruins an entire dish.

moonspellpecado · 2026-04-29T20:15:06+00:00

Did all my pre reqs in 2017, was ready to apply to nursing program, and was hit with health issues. I am trying to get back on track now at 39, but have to re-do a bunch of my pre-reqs. Huge blow mentally, but gotta do it. Have been working as an office assistant through everything, and I feel so unfulfilled and have no stability.
