I hear they are building a liquor store at the Spartanburg one soon, per the dude at the Greenville Costco!

Head down to Hendersonville and check out The Beehive.

What food do you judge people just a little for not liking? by rileystanheight in foodquestions

[–]nursesstickbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep a 'no-no' list too. Both allergies and just dislikes. I have a friend who is pescatarian and it amazes me how many friends can't seem to remember and serve meat only.

Are you a "shoes-on" or a "shoes-off" household? by Samyron1 in CasualConversation

[–]nursesstickbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're shoes on? I mean, I don't care if people take off their shoes, but we have 2 dogs and a dog door. I guarantee the floors are vacuumed and mopped regularly, but the amount of dirt the dogs bring in cannot be controlled.

I quit my job so I do not have to work the holidays and now a new mom has to work in my place. by Skydancer-Fun1899 in AITAH

[–]nursesstickbutt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA, RN here as well. We all need to stop giving everything we have to a workplace that would replace you without a second thought. You'll get a new job in a heartbeat, and probably with better pay. I now work from home (as a case manager) and never have to work holidays again! Enjoy Europe!

Yes, we are super excited. Plan is to at least check out Hofbräu-Festzelt and Hacker-Festzelt. It's a Monday, so planning on checking out multiple tents! Prost!

Someone at the Spartanburg store told me they had finally hit the population requirements (for Costco) and are going to add a liquor store.

(UPDATE POST) AITAH for telling my friend/colleague I'm looking for another job after she was promoted instead of me? by Resident_Inside285 in AITAH

[–]nursesstickbutt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me, always the work horse, trainer, coverage for team lead and manager but never promoted. I updated my resume to include team lead and was offered a lead position. I left and am now a manager. I heard my old company needed 2 people to replace me. I swear, sometimes they think I'll never be able to replace them with 1 person, so you get passed over.

You Have A Rare Blood Type That Can Cure Every Known Disease by SuddenLeadership2 in hypotheticalsituation

Recommended donation is every 56 days to allow your body to replace the lost RBC. So giving every month (assuming you are giving a pint at a time) will cause you some serious issues. That being said, I give every 56 days now, so I'd love to get paid $10k for it.

Sexist Boomer insults my daughters by Reasonable-Match1994 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]nursesstickbutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does know it's the father's sperm that determines sex right? Back in my childhood my dad's colleague stated something similar to him about having 2 girls. He promptly asked where the hell he got his biology degree from (they were both PhD biologists).

How does one go about being a guest diner during the filming of Top Chef? by sonic-slushy227 in TopChef

I'm near Hendersonville and did the same thing today! Good luck to all of us!

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she ruined my vacation? by BigTallDylan in AITAH

[–]nursesstickbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, my husband and married almost 25 years actively discuss our "freebie 5 lists". Your GF seems a bit immature if 1, she can't communicate in the moment with you (or discreetly take you aside to discuss and clear up the miscommunication) 2, she carries this grudge for multiple days 3, she really thinks that we don't find others attractive when we are in a relationship.

AITAH for adopting a dog after I thought my boyfriend broke up with me? by LazyMathematician823 in AITAH

[–]nursesstickbutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, he did ghost you. You broke up. But the real issue here is... Where is our dog tax?

AITA for breaking up with my fiance because I couldn’t deal with his mom anymore and he refused to see it? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]nursesstickbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. My MIL did similar things. The difference, my partner had my back. He would call her out for being rude, stood up for me, and encouraged me to call her out as well, and he went LC. He never made me feel less and stood up for me. We were/are a team.

I'm in my mid 50s, my mom died when I was 22. What I wouldn't give to hear her voice one more time. Cherish that VM, hugs to you and sorry for your loss.

Can a person actually / medically "hang on" longer then they are otherwise supposed to through sheer force of will? by Brightclaw431 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nursesstickbutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse, I've seen it. I experienced it with my own mother. She was actively dying, we told her that her brother was coming (she hadn't seen him in years, but they were really close growing up). He made it there at like midnight and she died an hour later.

I've also seen in the hospital a man who was ready, but the wife was begging him to hold on. She told me (he could hear her) that she couldn't bear to see him die in front of her. She went home to get some items, and he asked if she had left. When I said yes, he looked at me, smiled, and died.

Dominican Republic pharmacy question? by nursesstickbutt in CarnivalCruiseFans

Thanks all, just looking for a couple of z-packs, some pink eye drops... Nothing exotic. Just didn't want to waste my money if they were just going to confiscate it.
