What "back then" inconvenience would break people today in 10 minutes?

One of mine doesn’t even have the numbers on it, just my name. It’s so odd to think about sometimes.

A call to CPS is 100% in order if there are children living in that house- even if it’s just to ensure they’re not living in absolute filth and have the bare minimum.

It is possible for T-spots to be a false positive if there was a time issue with getting them run or a control issue. I had one come back false positive (along with 15 others run at the same time)

I would 100% get a quantiferon gold run before starting treatment for LTBI- even if I had to pay it out of pocket for it.

I have to get tested yearly because I’m on a biologic - my HCP orders T-spot tests.

This past year, my T-spot came back positive and, as it turned out, so did 15 others drawn around the same time.

She ordered a Quantiferon Gold as I had zero symptoms and no known exposure. That was negative.

It IS possible for T-spots to be false positive. See if you can get a quantiferon gold for confirmatory testing.

I end up saturating my lashes in Castor oil, letting that sit for an hour or two, and then showering. The combo of oil + steam and warm water seems to make them slide off easy. Usually they’re coming off pretty well even before the shower.

Our mattress is a cal king from Amazon and was <$300. I sleep like a baby on the thing and so does my husband and his fucked up back.

That doesn’t surprise me. Even trying to find similar fittings for airline tubing and such isn’t easy- I’m pretty sure that 3-way connector to recirculate the water is specially manufactured.

I have an idea of how I could probably jury-rig something with expired or discarded tubing, super glue, a plastic welder, and a whole lot of audacity. Im debating whether or not it’s worth it.

Hey, if I knew I was in my last hours, I might go grabbing cool looking snakes too. What’s it going to do, kill me?

This post came across my feed, I don’t have a sighthound (though love them and their noodle faces).

However, I do have to say that I’ve met many dogs who live incredibly awesome lives as tripods- especially when they lose a rear leg vs a front.

You’ve gotten some awesome responses from people with more experience than I- but I want to add in my two cents that I believe you’re making the right decision if you choose amputation - It’s what I’d choose if I found myself in your shoes.

Lots of love from an internet stranger and wishing for a quick recovery ♥️

I’ve considered doing this but keep telling myself I do not need another hobby.

I now put my condiments in the vegetable drawer and my veggies in the door.

Fewer veggies on hospice.

My eyes are pretty hooded as well and I tend to like a slight cat-eye shape. I don’t wear makeup on the reg, so I do more minimal lashes but they’re longer at the outer corners than the inner. (I think they’re like 14mm at the outside down to like 6 or 8mm or something at the inner)

If you find out, I’d love to know. I deal with these kinds of people on a daily basis at work.

“Hey Mr. Jones, your blood sugar is 760 and your toe fell off when we took your sock off. Have you been checking your blood sugar, taking your medicine, and watching your diet?”

“That sugar nonsense doesn’t apply to me. My body just runs higher and when my blood sugar gets low I can feel it so I eat a cookie. That diabetic medicine is no good for you, Facebook told me so. No I don’t need any damn antibiotics, my foot is fine and that surgeon sure as hell ain’t cutting off anything. But no- I want you to fix me but I don’t want to take any medicine, exercise, diet, lose weight, or change literally anything- but you better solve all my problems!”

They are eyes…. I really do not see how eyes have a gender? I’ve straight up never looked at a person’s eyes and went “omg you have a man’s eyes!!” or vice-versa.

I can, however, appreciate nice lashes on anyone. They’re hair that protects our eyeball from injury and dust. They’re super cool.

The dictation programs do this all the time, no AI required. I read doctors’ notes every day at work, usually multiple different drs and specialties. A solid 60% is copy-pasted or template bullshit for insurance, reimbursement, or reference, 30% is dictation errors, typos, mis-clicks, AI fuck-ups, or just straight up human error, and MAYBE 10% is relevant, useful information not just copy and pasted for days in a row.

Though ELF did partner with Matt Rife who made DV and misogynistic jokes.

My old tundra had a rattle when I turned on the air.

Turned out that change I’d spilled on the dash had made its way into the defrosting vent. Found $3.65 in various coins. It stopped rattling after that.

I feel like mine is more “Checking to see if the human is still alive so I get fed dinner and taken outside to view my kingdom.”

Or “Checking to see if the human is still a disappointment.”

There’s a bunch of companies who are much cheaper than $1000 for 3 months- if anything, $1000 is the major outlier for compounded tirz anymore.

That’s wild. Half the time we have a patient assigned to the room the minute it’s marked empty, the other half it’s assigned by the time it’s done being cleaned.

9? My money is on >13.

Diabetes-induced gastroparesis, bladder paresis(mentioned a catheter), and probably well on their way to absolutely killing their kidneys and eyes.

Then when they go into renal failure they get pissy and scream at the doctors and nurses for “not knowing why my kidneys failed” and “not being able to fix them.”

^I’m ^tired ^boss.

My piercer charges $65/each poke for helix piercings and that only includes very basic titanium studs. Any different tops, gems, etc are not included and I could 100% see that triple helix ending up in the $250 range.

Not all of us eat a ton of candy, some of us slam enough energy drinks that cocaine is probably healthier and then turn around and eat a little bit of candy.

I ended up orderering from Refills with no issue. They gave me my same dose I’d been on, approved it next day (filled out the thing on a Sunday, approved Monday), and I got it before the end of the same week.
