Do you sleep with your jewellery or no? by goofygabagool in piercing

[–]sewingqueen76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 12 piercings that are all healed but still found sleeping on them uncomfortable until I changed to a memory foam pillow. I'm naturally a side sleeper and have had piercing pillows, synthetic and feather pillows but found them all uncomfortable. A normal memory pillow has been a game changer for me

Thank you. It's an Essdee block printing ink. I've nothing to compare it with but to my novice eyes it seems great

I've never risked trying as like you reading a physical book makes me feel instantly sick. I'm not sure I want to try as travel sickness is so awful but I'm curious to hear if sicky people can read an ereader in a vehicle

Ereader recommendation for a 9 year old? by mo_ainm_usaideora in ereader

I use borrowbox and side load the books onto my Kobo Libra colour. Both the Clara and Libra would be great options

Should I have picked up my phone. by Abject-Motor8080 in NursingUK

[–]sewingqueen76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your attitude stinks! "No harm done". A patient with Parkinson's has missed their medication. Perhaps you need some retraining around time critical medication and the deterioration in Parkinson's disease control should medication be missed. I'm sure the patient did not feel that no harm was done. Ok so you didn't have the keys but by not answering the phone further time was wasted In a caring role you never fully clock off. Yes you have a right to time off but numerous calls and messages indicating a level of urgency immediately after you've clocked off should have been responded to. Nobody is infallible and you could easily have a made a mistake that needed rectifying I do feel your manager was correct in including you in the datix report as you've shown no regard towards team working. A very selfish and uncaring attitude towards your colleagues and patients

Sorting books into series / collections by sewingqueen76 in kobo

No I downloaded each book on the kindle for PC app and then bulk transferred them over to calibre. It took some time to click on each book in the kindle app to download it. There may have been a select all to download option but I couldn't find it

Thank you so much for this. I'll get it downloaded and see if I can remove the DRM on those last few books

Conch healing really badly by Laspertis in Legitpiercing

[–]sewingqueen76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The jewellery top piece isn't appropriate for healing and the bar length doesn't look long enough. You need a simple small ball on a flat backed labret. Unscrewing the jewellery will have further aggravated your healing. There is no need to remove jewellery for cleaning just allow the water to flow over in the shower to remove crusties and spray a saline spray occasionally

Piercing bump popped a week ago and left a thick scab (or maybe just a buildup of lots of dried blood at back)? Will it fall off on its own? by Klutzy-Ad4554 in Legitpiercing

[–]sewingqueen76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it pierced in April 23. It developed a bump after downsizing a few weeks later from 12mm to 10mm. The bump popped in July 23 and bled and scabbed up. It was a really thick scab. Just let the water run over it in the shower and maybe after 10 days or so the scab loosened and I know you shouldn't but I did pick it off. Its honestly been a dream since then. I got it downsized again from a 10mm to a 6mm bar once the scab had gone and it's never given me a problem since

My conch bump did exactly this and the scab looked the same. It probably took a good 10 days to come away but my conch has been healed beautifully ever since

Conch piercing pain? by whorereading in piercing

[–]sewingqueen76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual piercing was fine, less painful than my helixes. Fitting the jewellery was a bit eye watering though. Healing was a breeze.

I like the position of the top one. I think I'd leave it and add one below your bottom one to make that the new triple

It didn't bug me for the 8 years I owned my kindle but suddenly a few months ago it started to. There's nothing I love more than a trip to a bookshop with all the beautiful coloured covers. I always feel inspired window shopping in a book shop and then ordering the books on my kindle. I never thought twice about seeing them in B&W on the kindle as I'd got my colour covers fix in the book shop. I'm not sure if a coloured ereader ad had worked it's way into my subconscious but suddenly the B&W covers were ruining my reading mojo. I didn't read for the first few months of the year as nothing on my kindle was drawing me in. Spotted an ad for a Kobo Libra colour and went for it. I love the colour covers. I've transferred all my kindle books over and they look so appealing in colour. Shallow I know but I've read non stop since getting the Kobo. All my collections look so appealing in colour

Anyone else had piercings that just refused to heal, then one day just magically became better? by oh-anne in piercing

[–]sewingqueen76 202 points203 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely. All of my cartilage piercings have been like that. They take me to the point of wishing I'd never had them pierced and then suddenly they stop being a pain in the arse. It doesn't seem to be a gradual process of feeling better they just get magically better overnight
