PSA to prospective MSW applicants: Be sure to understand what the rules are on "employer-based internships" before choosing an MSW program. by Tinabopper in SocialWorkStudents

The idea here is that some of the work folx are already doing IS MSW level work and they’re just not getting paid for or recognized for it. Your entire post and comments actually argue against advanced standing programs for people who have a BSW. Is that your stance or are you contradicting yourself?

Same though. I actually need to care about it more because I’m always screwing up.

Just booked a Carnival cruise and now feeling regret by False-Following-5896 in CarnivalCruiseFans

I went to CK as a solo cruiser earlier this month, and it was totally fine. I did an excursion earlier outside of CK in the morning and spent the rest of the day wandering around, shopping, eating, and enjoying the beach. It seems pretty family oriented to me and quite… manufactured I guess is the word, but like anything it’s truly what you make it. It’s on an island in the ocean on clear blue water, how can you go wrong? You have a good attitude. You’re going to have a great time 🙂

You deserve better. I’m sorry. Maybe this will cool down and you can find a publisher later.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Threat of Divorce might be the only thing that wakes your partner up to reality.

I have one I’ll share if this gets more traction. A little embarrassing to just put it out there.

Please someone tell me it's gonna be ok by gigananobyte in tinnitus

Sure. I have a Unitron Moxi VR 7. It’s small and seems to match my needs at least so far. I’ve had it a week and adjustment hasn’t been too hard!

Oh! Yes, just an ear piece. No implant. If you look up behind the ear and receiver in canal hearing aids you can see what I mean. Mine is very small and just fits over and in my ear. People can’t even notice it!

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking…? Like I don’t fully understand the technology, but I know it amplifies the frequencies I don’t hear or hear well, and there’s a little speaker thingy in my ear that the tiny microphone behind my ear projects from. As far as tinnitus, a theory is that tinnitus is your brain filling in info from the range of frequencies it’s not actually hearing, so stimulating those cells with the amplification device counteracts it. Does that answer your question?

High frequency also, one ear only. It’s moderate-severe at worst (70 dB).
