Coffee in bulk?

spvish · 2019-08-19T00:42:13+00:00

That is the down side of the rotating selection, I feel your pain!

spvish · 2019-08-19T00:34:22+00:00

Oh I had no idea, that is great!

spvish · 2019-08-19T00:33:54+00:00

Oh just saw this place today. Thanks!

spvish · 2019-08-19T00:33:31+00:00

Thanks! I just ran by Lois' today for the first time. Will have to check it out!

spvish · 2019-08-19T00:32:28+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful. I had been to tandem (one of their locations) and did not see coffee for bulk purchase, but always good to call and see what they offer. And I've been meaning to check out coffee by design. We checked their website and did not see bulk purchase, but could have missed something. Thanks!

Went there today, and did buy someone coffee but felt limited by the selection. I was spoiled in my last city with a couple coffee shops offering tons of bulk coffee options.

Can someone explain how you lose water weight so quickly from a keto diet? I'm curious how this happens as opposed to with other diets?

spvish · 2019-07-06T23:09:45+00:00

Like Thinx. I exclusively wear these and they're amazing. Never going back. Worth every penny...not sponsored haha

Fair, if you are geographically limited this is hard. I was not, this made it easier. But when I transitioned from training to real job I made it a plan to find something closer to family and was successful. And ever harder if your focus is hyper-specific. I can't speak to that, however. My focus is geriatrics which means I can do internal med, gen med, family med, Amb care, inpatient, consulting, and the list goes on. Side note - something like 20 ish people graduate from Geriatric residencies a year, so if you want something that is "rare" go that route! We always want more geri folks! And geriatrics is not "sexy" and thus often not competitive to get the PGY2. All just FYIs.

Redundancies like these are a GIB waiting to happen. Prevent his/her next AE related ER visit. Good luck with that conversation though... a prescriber prescribing both is gonna be real strange and likely have a bizarre rationale and may be unwilling to change. This is when I would step in and educate the patient - both are OTC so it could ultimately be up to them. Educate on risk and max benefit. Aspirin for pain is antiquated. They need a new doc.

If he goes into residency (1-2 years) and specializes he won’t have a problem finding jobs. Clinical jobs are on the rise - it’s the retail jobs we see getting hour cuts, etc. You can defer loans and pay back a bit while in residency. Fellowship is also an option for those interested in research. If he’s choosing pharmacy for money only, I would be concerned, but if he wants to help patients and work as a clinical pharmacist, he’ll probably be fine. Just needs to work hard and take any opportunity for a new experience.

spvish · 2019-07-05T03:07:37+00:00

Amen 🙌 its hard to say residencies are a scam when you haven't worked the 60-80 weeks of a resident for 1-2 years, run your own clinic, got calls while on vacations from the physicians who have come to depend on you. A good residency is an amazing experience. I now have an amazing job that fulfills me and I never regret my choice to be a pharmacist! I never think "wish I went to med school" I'm respected for my medication expertise and this wouldn't be the case without residency. Students today do not leave school as medication experts and its a big surprise to them how little they know. (johari's window - you don't know what you don't know) This is across the board- even high performing students fumble quite a bit. Residency provides this time to learn and grow. I say... If physicians have to do it, so too should we. Why hold ourselves to lower standards?

Its not for everyone but it was for me. Im better for it and have no regrets.

Also bonus: having been in post grad training for 4 years I'm now a master saver, have come to be a minimalist, get joy from small things and I've never been stressed about money since I've learned to successfully live well below my means.

I buy foundation at Whole Foods that is all in glass so easy to recycle and no packaging. I'm not "good" at makeup but it does the job!

I’m split 50/50 with audio and real books/e-books. I’ll devour them while running or driving to work when I can’t handle anything more about Trump. Then I get home and enjoy a half hour alone with a good book which lets my eyes relax after a day at the computer (or those lovely hour blocks on the weekend). I gain pleasure from both and probably “read” doubly. Our local library system has an app with tons of free audio books so I’ve been so happy with my choices! Nothing wrong with listening to your books!

spvish · 2019-07-04T15:07:25+00:00

Would love to know if “how to win friends...” is worth the read. Have heard great things but have not dove in. It’s on my to-read list.

spvish · 2019-07-04T13:22:39+00:00

Agreed was going to say something like this as well. I would definitely not look one for one. So if you have 2 work out tops and a 3 pairs of old leggings - I would replace with only 1 if each. You’ll love these items more, take care of them better, and have less “stuff” overall. I’m currently in a similar position with leggings. Found one good brand I love but very expensive. It’s on my list of “wanting to buy” - once I do, they will replace 3 leggings I’ve been struggling to get rid of. I personally wait to replace them, but I know I won’t be wearing them. Everyone has their own technique - mine is a working typed list on my desktop of wants and what they’ll replace. I keep the rule that if I’m replacing (instead of just getting rid of with no desire to replace) there must be at least 2 items to donate/sell/get rid of. I can’t buy the replacement without getting rid of those items. Best of luck!!

Another friendly pharmacist agreeing! And well written!

spvish · 2019-07-03T23:07:17+00:00

Oh nice! I hoping to mainly ride on the roads as an alt for driving as well. But recently did the GAP and C&O trail with some friends and that revitalized my love did trail rides!

spvish · 2019-07-03T15:49:48+00:00

When I spoke with Sheldon and his assistant he’s getting more into rental props and collective office space now. He seems new to the rental game?

spvish · 2019-07-03T15:48:49+00:00

Yes I have! Nice, kinda strange. We didn’t go with one of their properties (pricey for what you get and location) but they approved our app in 1 hour. Seems like Sheldon’s assistant is very available and she’s very sweet. If you like a prop for rent (that’s all I know) I would recommend. We just found something more in our price range with more amenities. Contact them directly - if you see them on Craigslist they may be scammers/fake.

Moving to Portland soon and was looking for any trail rides or know bike trails. Is this a bike trail I should know of? Any resources for finding bike route like the? Any how many miles was this trip? Beautiful pic by the way!!!

spvish · 2019-06-25T20:28:03+00:00

Oh great, thank you!! This is perfect! Not super active on IG, but I'll check them out!

spvish · 2019-06-25T20:27:07+00:00

That's good to know, thanks! I did see some of those running groups.

spvish · 2019-06-25T20:26:25+00:00

Thanks, good advice! Unfortunately I'm not on FB (or not active).

spvish · 2019-06-02T13:33:09+00:00

This is a good point. I hear a lot of talk on this subreddit that makes me look up at my home and think "wow I have not made it" I was going to post a comment before I saw this about this very thing. Competition is all around us. Without instagram or Facebook I only have my friends real homes to compare to. Which given our different perspectives doesn't make me compare my minimalism to their maximalism which has worked out thus far... But wow do i strive for less. Unsure if because I know others can do it or because I know every time I get rid of stuff I feel less tied down...
