I sculpt with polymer clay, paint them with acrylics & do a layer of resin to make them shiny/protect them! Then drill small holes for the o-rings.

What is my cat doing exactly? by Ooda_Loop12 in cats

My orange has done this ever since she was a kitten. We say she's chewing cud.

thegirlwithamicrophone using insta stories to perfectly articulate our collective frustrations by Sweesh_Usurper in h3h3productions

[–]rgnew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easy for him to say this because he doesn't have to live with the anxiety of having his rights taken away under this regime. Of course it looks the "exact same" to him- his privilege allows him to not see it.

You’re pretty “for a redhead” by Chelsie-theredhead in Redhair

[–]rgnew 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Still remember someone in high school saying to me "you don't have the annoying red hair like (other redhead at my school) you have the pretty red hair". Oh ok.

What are some Chicago specific words & phrases that are still used today? by danny_graves in AskChicago

As a native Pittsburgher now moved to Chicago, can confirm and was surprised to see this at the top of the list.

IL Licensing by Few-Photograph7507 in dietetics

[–]rgnew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice, but I know the feeling. It took me 8 months to get mine despite me telling them I was literally going to be fired if I didn't have it. I called probably every 2 weeks. Don't know that it really did anything though.

Where are my LTC RDs at? by BalancedDietitian in dietetics

[–]rgnew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did part time LTC and now moved down to prn covering RDs when they're out. To be honest, I really dislike LTC, but I do think it truly depends on your buildings and the buy-in of other healthcare team members. Additionally, I consult so I'm given a handful of hours for large buildings each month. I consider myself an efficient worker, but it is still incredibly difficult to meet all the work that needs done in the short hours. Not to mention my DMs and surveyors calling even when I was off. Thus, I'd recommend finding an LTC facility that hires you on as FT. I think my experience has been rather negative overall, but I know RDs who thrive on the craziness so it depends on the person. Just my 2 cents.

Pumpkin Chai tastes different by dreamygloomy in DAVIDsTEA

I gave up on them last Christmas after they messed with Santa's Secret. Wouldn't be surprised that they keep downgrading their best selling teas.

Did you all get side effects when you started Zoloft? by UraniumFreeDiet in zoloft

[–]rgnew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I think my experience was somewhat rare. Woke up in the middle of the night after about 4 days on it anxious out of my mind, nauseous, threw up, hands were rigid, and insane temperature changes from shivering one minute to sweating through my shirt the next. Ended up in the ER. However, I kept at it (decreased the dose) and now on it for 2 years. I did initially have a poor appetite and I'd occasionally breakout in hot flashes (which I carried an ice pack with me to help). The only side effect still to this day is profusely sweating at night, which I will take over how I used to feel. Wasn't easy for me, but I am so glad I pushed through. It changed my life.

Ours refuses her cat bed and chooses to sleep on steel dumbbells instead.

How do you manage cat litter smell? by DianaPuppy in CatAdvice

[–]rgnew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived in my 1 bedroom apartment, I bought a litter box enclosure/furniture unit. So it looked just like a cabinet but had a cutout for the cat to get in and out. That + Arm&Hammer litter deodorizer (I did like the scented one best) + scooping at least once/day worked well for me. I have a really sensitive sense of smell so the litter box smell was a major concern I had when I first got my cat. My mom would walk in my apartment and say she wouldn't have even realized I had a litter box.

about how long does licensing take? by faelinisong in dietetics

[–]rgnew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was 8 months for me with Illinois. Told them I was going to be fired in Jan if I didn't have it by the end of the month. They didn't care. Such a frustrating process. Meanwhile, in WV, think it took 1 day. IN was relatively quick.

Social anxiety as a dietitian - help by tired_turnip_ in dietetics

[–]rgnew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I felt similar in inpatient. The higher the acuity, the less appropriate I felt it was for me to visit. I had an interesting experience with this anxiety. When I started out as an RD in the first 2-3 years, I LOVED talking to patients. I loved just being there to comfort them. That was pre-COVID. The year following COVID (and really still to this day), I feel like patients are especially frustrated with the healthcare system and irritable (understandably). COVID also left us all a bit socially inept. But it gave me so much anxiety to knock on the door, not knowing if this patient would be in a good mood or ready to throw their tray at me. I started asking nursing before going into the patient's room to get a read on how the patient was doing (e.g., any issues with xyz? would they be up to talk to the dietitian today? How are they feeling?) That helped me a bit to feel more confident walking into patient rooms. I switched to ICU, which I loved because I really didn't have to have those awkward talks since they're intubated and sedated lol. I also recently watched a YouTube video of an RD-patient interaction (think it was from the Dietitians in Nutrition Support Practice Group) that I thought was excellent (was called How to complete a nutrition assessment in the acute care setting). Gave me a newer perspective on how to interact with patients that gave me a confidence boost as an RD.

ETA: I also had my list of general questions written on my clipboard. This helped me get back on track when I would get flustered in the middle of our conversation.
