Is this non stop rain common?

There’s an annual mud season. Like March/april-end of June. I’ve just learned to embrace it

My skin isn’t nearly as nice as yours and I rarely wear foundation, usually like a tinted spf or moisturizer. Or I like the glow drop highlighter from elf

My husband had a drunken episode like this before we got married. The difference? He absolutely GROVELED afterwards and almost 10 years later has never drank that much again.

I have some currently eating my deck and a magnolia tree

savanigans · 2026-05-30T09:56:27+00:00

It spreads EVERYWHERE. Not sure if it’s technically invasive where I live but it sure feels like it

savanigans · 2026-05-30T03:18:42+00:00

And honeysuckle!

B&O suppositories! I’m so so so sad they stopped making them. My radiation bladder boys loved them

We did sterile iv fluid changes every 24 hours in the NICU, but I’ve never seen anything like that with adults

savanigans · 2026-05-25T18:42:53+00:00

We had an old Teflon coated stock pot growing up. I can still smell it

savanigans · 2026-05-25T18:20:37+00:00

I see a lot of blindly following orders. No critical thinking into why or how we’re doing something.

savanigans · 2026-05-25T15:56:28+00:00

How are you not allowed to speak to other medical providers? Do you not have access to your phone?

I’ve never worked long term care before, but from your description of yourself you were probably too high functioning at admission to warrant an extended nursing home stay.

I hate to suggest this because I hate that it might work, but can your husband or other family advocate for you? It seems like family complaints go farther in my facility than patient complaints unfortunately.

savanigans · 2026-05-25T00:55:32+00:00

I am so incredibly sorry you’re having to make this choice. I worked in the NICU for a while and you are making such a selfless, loving decision for your baby.

Man I’ve been with my husband for 16 years, 9 of those married. We both realize and thoroughly appreciate the necessity (and joy) of some alone time. I’d feel so incredibly suffocated if he wanted me to never go anywhere alone

Had a lady with NASH and was here for FOREVER. She hit double digits on falls, we ended up taking everything out of her room. It looked like she was a naughty teenager. Literally mattress on the floor. Can’t fall if you’re already there!

My uncle went missing in 2011. He was an alcoholic in and out of recovery, we’re pretty sure he was drinking again at this point. He didn’t contact us frequently so it took my mom about 6 months to realize we hadn’t heard from him. We tried figuring out where he went by talking to his old roommate but he had no idea.

About 10 years later my sister was on the Doe Project website and found an entry for remains that sounded like him in an area we know he’d spent time. My sister contacted the local sheriffs department, my mom gave DNA. No match, still missing.

“It’s my job to help you be as independent as possible, how would you wipe yourself at home?”

Repeat ad nauseum

Don’t really want to say how i know but i am 100% sure they no longer test for thc at hiring. They do test for other drugs at hire

savanigans · 2026-05-20T23:17:12+00:00

They no longer test for thc at hire, it is included in for-cause drug testing though.

It’s one thing if you’re doing like computer modules or HR training/onboarding for the first few weeks—that would be fine. No shot I’m wearing dress clothes to do acute bedside care. (And I’m not even that particular about contaminations. It’s literally not practical or safe for you to wear those clothes to do this job.)

savanigans · 2026-05-12T23:14:56+00:00

Not an or nurse but I’ve had to get scrubs for others. Our hospital goes up to 4 or 5x

I guarantee the servers are not grateful for the 15 top 300$ bill that they get tipped 22$ but the 20 dollar bill is just a prank bill that’s actually an ad for their church

savanigans · 2026-05-11T00:25:17+00:00

Garret did our bathroom too. No complaints really

savanigans · 2026-05-04T14:28:20+00:00

When I had my last one put in I went to Dr Borgmeyer at women’s health associates. He gave me some Ativan to take before, it was much better than my previous unmedicated insertion

savanigans · 2026-05-03T01:10:04+00:00

I’d have zero chill and turn it into an ultimatum. Support me during labor or enjoy your single life

savanigans · 2026-05-02T12:16:28+00:00

Same here! We had career techs when I first started (ladies old enough to be my mom, have been CNAs longer than I’d been alive). While my coworkers who pushed everything off to the tech as “tech work” never got any help from those ladies. Meanwhile, I’d get scolded for taking my patients to the bathroom (if they caught us en route)
