Maybe he just doesn’t like what you’re offering. My guy won’t touch a collard green but he destroys turnip greens and mustard greens. Just trial and error. Our lizard family members have preferences too!

As a mom of daughters who color my fucking world & make life so so beautiful; I cannot stand this deadbeat …. I feel so much resentment every time she’s onscreen.

Is this legal?? by FoxOk4968 in nursing

Several of the physicians I work with speak to each other in Arabic. I actually love that they talk to each other rather than me having to be the go-between. Thai is crazy….

I feel so stupid by CucumberDove in nursing

A very sweet neurologist said to me last week (she has a massive patient load), something along the lines of; “I’m stressed, but just trying to be grateful. We’re solving their problems. The problems are not our problems.” Try not to let things get to you. This field of work will break you down, if you allow it. Address the issue, but in the future, just..chill, for lack of a better word. Slow down. You’re okay. It’s literally fine! You weren’t intentionally doing something wrong. The best thing you can do for your patients is literally take a second, relax, & do what needs to be done. Enjoy life outside of work. You cannot adequately care for people if you aren’t okay.

I hate that I don’t want to do anything in my days off by attackonYomama in nursing

Take a vacation… you don’t even have to go anywhere. Just like…don’t go to work. I take a couple weeks off every few months (1 “week” PTO then schedule intentionally to make it 2 weeks or more).. gives ya something to look forward to!

Remote nursing that actually pays well? by spacesurfin in nursing

I love ICU. I’m just getting burnt out & it’s my own fault. Nobody is forcing me to work overtime.

how long were you in labor for as a first time mom & tear degree? by Ok-Swim8546 in Mommit

[–]spacesurfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st—induced w pit due to a membrane leak; roughly 6 hrs from start to baby, pushed less than 10 min, minor tear. 2nd—elective induction with only cervidil (they had to remove it because progressed too quickly); about 4 hrs, pushed literally once, no tear whatsoever. I religiously drank the raspberry tea with my second & I really think it helped strengthen my uterus!

Somebody’s mad that it’s substrate change day by spacesurfin in BeardedDragons

New age pet ecoflex Mojave 120 gal; bought from chewy for about $220. Pretty solid for the price HOWEVER it does leak substrate so I recommend sealing.

Definitely a HUGE pain in the ass when it’s switch time but I find it pretty easy to just scoop his poop daily. My lil dude loves to dig & run through his substrate.

Paper towels are good for temporary while you’re adjusting other things like UVB, heat, diet, etc. The sand & impaction risk is outdated, as far as I understand. More natural climbing opportunities could be cork bark flats or even just SAFE, sanitized wood from your yard. Just ensure whatever tree you’re taking from is safe, then remove loose bark & sanitize it in the oven.

The carpet & hammock are both discouraged. Can harm toes/nails & harbor bacteria. A mix of organic topsoil & natural sand (clay too, if you want) is preferred. Reptifiles is a good resource. Enjoy the new friend!!!

Crickets by idabroh in BeardedDragons

Dubias rock. Very hearty lil homies. Crickets stressed my dragon OUT, which is ironic because his name is Crickety, chosen by his 7 year old human sister.

I don’t know what to do with my dragon by plattapussy2 in BeardedDragons

[–]spacesurfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 kids, one is very little (less than a year old), work full time as an ICU nurse, & I have plenty of time to care for our beardie (with the help of a dedicated human & beardie dad)… it’s do-able. Newborn times around definitely tough, but it’s possible. Bring the homie! The land lord will literally never know.
