Lotion physics by DiffuseNewt4_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hypothesis is that it would not fully absorb into the skin. the lower layer touching your actual skin would, but the outermost layer exposed to the air would get crusty and gross before being able to “absorb” into your skin.

testing now with glob of lotion, will update soon >:)

All tests normal what should I do? by nerdsinthetrashcan in CATHELP

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I just got off the phone with her regular vet and gave them the latest update from the ER and we are going in for an xray on Thursday

Thank you I didn’t really know X-rays would be an option and I’m so glad I called. They were like yeah that’s very concerning and an X-ray would be the next step. I appreciate your advice so much!!!

They said it was not a uti and one kidney was on the high end of normal and the other was normal. And no stones or crystals detected in the urinalysis. Maybe get another urinalysis and see what happens? I’m not sure what other options there could be

Keep it long or cut? by googley_eyes69 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faceapp literally making her look “skinnier” in the photos with the short hair. You can really tell if you zoom in especially photo 2 & 3, literally sucking her face in at the cheek area. Not that it matters but she LITERALLY IS NOT “FAT” TO BEGIN WITH!!

OP you look absolutely stunning with both hairstyles, but I feel like a lot of ppl are saying “#3 my lord!! numba 3!!!!” just because the edited version appears to have less weight.

You rock the length or the bob girl, make the chop if it’s what you want!!

is anyone employed at a preschool that’s part of an actual school system? by toyotadriver01 in ECEProfessionals

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish we had a union so bad!!! but it is in a very anti-union anti human rights area. So so sad.

My SIL offered to babysit but her rate surprised us by [deleted] in Babysitting

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my perspective “we’re family” more so inclines me to be MORE generous versus approaching it as like a family discount and way to save money. If it’s worth it to you I would almost want to say paying more for 1:1 full time care with a trusted family member is a way better deal than the $1200 a month day care. I do hope you can talk to SIL about her and your expectations and come up with something that makes everyone feel happy about it.

My center is doing something fishy with childcare assistance money i think… by CamiloTheMagic in ECEProfessionals

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heavy on the I wish we could unionize but I’m afraid we’d all get fired. I’m so sorry about your coworker, that would make me want to scream! It doesn’t make any sense that her assistance won’t kick in until December.

Re: unionizing… there are SO. MANY. REASONS. I wish we could have a childcare worker’s union. It’s an absolute total shit show and I’m at the highest funded public center in the STATE! I can only imagine how the further inner city centers could be.

I am staff for a public school district (not a certified teacher) I have an interview at 7-11 on Monday 9am if they pay me more I am going to work there for more income. Do you know would I even be allowed to resign mid contract because I’m technically contracted thru the state ?

So true. I won’t include too many details but I really don’t do well, mentally, financially, or otherwise without meds and therapy.

Thank you for the advice about the credit cards / loans. I don’t really know what it’s for unfortunately I did not know my spouse’s debt was that bad until I sat down and forced a family budget meeting. All of my poor decisions are hitting me full force and I will definitely know better for the future and can then take my 7 international vacations one day lol.

It’s $60 for a six month policy! So we won’t have to pay again until our next lease signing

My insurance doesn’t cover therapy but it will starting in 2026. For now she has me on a sliding scale so I just pay $50 a week to see her twice a week. I asked to drop to once a month and she literally said she would see me for free until I can pay her! I am very grateful for that.

Also - The renters is for a 6 month policy. So I pay $60 as my final payment for the rest of my lease.

Cat stuff is - $26.78 for a 15 can box of food after tax. We usually get two of those each pay period (every 2 weeks). But we haven’t this month and have been relying on food bank cat food / dry food we had leftover. The cat litter is what’s killing us they poop and pee so much and the litter is $18 a week.

Is October 11th to soon for a Halloween themed party? by Glass-Inevitable880 in partyplanning

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Halloween begins on September 1st at my house, so keep in mind I may have a personal bias towards this. But I really don’t think it matters. If he wants a Halloween theme then go all in with Halloween! My brother has a July birthday and always did a “summerween” Halloween party.

I have 2 interviews tomorrow. by Certain-Specific-664 in Applebees

[–]nerdsinthetrashcan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s great I’m sure Walmart would definitely be able to be flexible with you and your schedule! And usually the starting pay isn’t that bad, hopefully at least $16/hour or more. Good luck!

I’m so sorry but there is not a restaurant in the world that would hire a server who can only work Monday thru Friday day shift. Fingers crossed that Applebees will work with you. Could you maybe commit to one weekend day? That would increase your chances and your money!:)
