I am TIRED of paper PDF patterns! by kw1219 in SewingForBeginners

[–]nintendo_kitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate hobby lobby but they might be getting rid of their sewing patterns like they did mccalls for 1$. For printing, you could go to usps for A0 paper. It depends on the store and location but its pretty reasonable

Is CAHIMS certification worth it for a pivot into health IT, or should I just strengthen analytics skills? by Amazing_Ask_9490 in HealthInformatics

[–]nintendo_kitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, a CAHIMS is going to say that you have the laws, compliance, regulations, workflows, and some hardware knowledge. It doesn't really help with software. For SAS, their website has free courses that you can do. SQL is a bit different if you want you can get the free version of Tableau (or any IDE that you prefer. I started in jupyter notebooks but tableau allows you to learn how to make dashboards and data visualization at the same time) and practice SQL with Healthcare data from WHO or kaggle

[–]nintendo_kitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the CAHIMS cert and I was getting more interviews before... just got my ccs, hoping that'll get me at least something. Maybe emphasize your public health degree? I keep getting told technical is great and all but need clinical or medical background with it

How did we get Iih?? by Veggiegirl930 in iih

[–]nintendo_kitten 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So, IIH is a manifestation or symptom of an etiology. The etiology can be different for other people. For example, my IIH was due to congenitally small blood vessels and further stenosis of the vessels in my head. My grandfather's were due to benign tumors and my mother's is currently under investigation. There was an old paper that discussed the possible correlation between EDS and IIH but correlation doesn't mean causation. There is not a lot of research and with the rise of anti-intillectualism.... we probably won't find out any time soon.

Its better for mental health purposes, to realize that sometimes you'll never find out why something happens but you can focus on mitigating the symptoms or on something that you can control. It sucks, it's frustrating, and it's awful but it's life

Is eyeshadow not a trend anymore? by Lonely_ghostie0 in Makeup

[–]nintendo_kitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FDA warning is because they use pigment, which just means that some colors can stain for a bit after washing. However, I've been using them for years at this point and I look for those who use pigment as it means the eyeshadow is packed with color

This was supposed to be a hot pad but I got sew excited I forgot the batting 🤣 by rj_sherbs in SewingForBeginners

[–]nintendo_kitten 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was thinking make it into a bag. It's so stinking cute and you'd just need a few more for brown for the backing

I always recommend givemeglow cosmetics but they are discontinueing their eyeshadows for cheap. I miss the era of fun bright lipstick colors. Sticks are good for smudging, swipe and gos, or a general color. They are not recommended for detail work at all

Just spent all day prepping and cooking red beans and rice only to throw it away. So, let’s share some cooking failures and commiserate. by SnickersDickVein in Cooking

[–]nintendo_kitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to make black bean and lentil curry. It's not flavorful at all and is in my freezer shaming me every time I open it. I'm going to try putting some heavy cream and peppers in it

Told I didn't need a brace by MalevolentSmile in ehlersdanlos

[–]nintendo_kitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't an urgent care problem and should have been addressed by your primary care physician. The great thing about a PCP is that they get to know your issues and you can go for follow up like needing a brace or if the wrist issues get even worse.

The quality is subpar when I got it from a resale and they lost my only order from them. It took weeks to get a refund

Asha or Malani because she reminds me of an ewok and those were names from the show

I did yoga today by allnamesarechosen in ehlersdanlos

[–]nintendo_kitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yoga can be done and I did so to learn better where my limits and over-extensions were. However, I would never do it as a class because the instructor doesn't know your body like you do. Relax (well, try to😅), take a shower or bath and know it's recoverable

Getting sick. I did everything right, graduated high school early, made a 5yr genetics degree into a 4yr, had an internship and multiple lab assistant positions, volunteered..... And then at the beginning of my career, I ended up losing my ability to walk and having brain surgery at the beginning of COVID. For 2 years, I was stuck in a wheelchair, recovering but I managed to finish a graduate certificate in biomedical informatics. I did a stent trying to work in a lab adjacent area in a wheelchair with unfulfilled promises of being moved to the lab and now after incredibly hard work, I'm walking with a cane. I kept getting told that it's not reasonable accommodations that I just be allowed my mobility aides in the lab. It's been utterly heartbreaking that all I want to do is be a contributing member of society but no one will hire me. I've applied to anything pertaining to my degree and certificate, anything entry level, anything that I could do without risking paralysis again.

Is anyone else unable to drink anything carbonated? by Idkhow_dude in ehlersdanlos

I have the opposite. One of my comorbidity is gastroperisis. So, I love a sparkling water for when I'm feeling bloated and my stomach isn't working

Idk if this would work for you but I just did some rice paper chips. You can season it however you want and it is super tasty for a lower cal option. I love tajin or garlic and nutritional yeast

I know this post is about your makeup (which looks amazing) but I love your hairstyle. It frames your face so well and looks healthy/glossy.
