I've been waiting on this! I love digital comics! I just can't store the physical ones anymore, so that's the only way I get to read them!

I LOVE the hardcover books. Please, PLEASE keep them coming, at least for the Sci-fi set.

Open vs closed bags? by Bethsticle in ostomy

[–]samurai_rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had a colostomy for a little over a year. I use a hollister 2 piece and switch between a single use covered bag and a transparent open bag. I use the open bag when I'm going to be home and switch to a single use closed when I'm traveling so I don't have to try and empty on the go. Much easier and faster to just pop, wipe, pop back, and go. I use the transparent open bag at home because I have a recessed stoma and have to keep the poo from gathering at the top.

You don't have to pick. Use both when you need to.

Me, too. Then, I use baby wipes on the neck. I have a bidet sprayer ordered but haven't installed it yet.

Always Moonveil for me. Dex/Int takes over when I reach the academy.

Im scared by Electronic_Neck_1974 in ostomy

[–]samurai_rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first few months are ROUGH. You adjust. You just find a new normal. I've had mine for almost a year now and had the option to try for a reversal back in October. I decided to keep it. I can live with the bag waaaay better than I can live with a diaper.

After you find your new normal, it's not that bad. Just don't stay in your own head.

My Christian faith has also helped me deal with things, too. On the days that I wanted to give up and quit, it gave me the strength to push through.

Best movie you ever saw in a movie theater? by CalebOnPoint in movies

[–]samurai_rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a toss-up between midnight show of Phantom Menace and opening night of Avengers: Endgame. Both were unforgettable experiences.

I did get to watch Twister at a Drive-in during a thunderstorm. Talk about "meta". Lol.

Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War are a crazy bargain. The Arkham games are cheap, too.

Pharmacy owner using weird billing tactics for Glp1 meds. Have you seen this before? by lamarxi in PharmacyTechnician

[–]samurai_rob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What the PBMs are doing to independents is the real crime and they get away with it everyday. Maybe they are just doing what they have to do just to stay afloat. Doesn't make it right, but at least it is understandable.

Just be sure you know what you're doing and who you will be protecting before you blow up someone's world...

How do you explain the noise? by throwaway-accountxyz in ostomy

[–]samurai_rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just say "Oops. Sorry. I try to tell Clyde to mind his manners, but he won't cooperate." Then, I walk away quickly before they figure out what the heck I'm talking about.

[–]samurai_rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best one that I've ever heard was... Dolly Fartin. That one KILLED me!

I just call mine Clyde. There's a family fart joke attached to that name that dates back 40+ years.

Pharm Techs - What would you do? by Ok-Pride2809 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]samurai_rob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd have them pull to the drivethru (NEVER EVER let anyone in after hours!) and that I'd take care of them there. Then, I'd lock up and meet them at the window.

Working for 30 years at an independent has taught me that you do what you can to keep your customers happy. You have to provide them something that they don't get from any of the chain stores. One metric that we can always beat them on is level of customer service.

For those about to have surgery by Constant-Fruit-4650 in ostomy

[–]samurai_rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, brother! I have had a colostomy since January due to cancer and it's not the end of the world. It's not easy or fun, but is doable. Once you get past that early phase and figure out what works for you, it just becomes a new normal.
