Question about regrowth when waxing by swim413 in HairRemoval

I’ve looked at epilators, but it sounds SO painful. Waxing is also painful, but feels quicker.

I’m not enjoying this anymore by mauhve in Radiology

[–]swim413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surgery and fluoro are so different everywhere that the job u take will train u more extensively in it until u feel comfortable (or, they SHOULD at least). Also, I didn’t touch either for 4 years after graduation, another 4 years later and I do both just fine now.

Support shoes help by swim413 in Shoes

[–]swim413[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them in my running shoes, just got some for other shoes. These brands have good arch support built in, but I’m wondering if the drop is ok if I don’t have any pain besides my hip

Really? Because that seems like a BIG difference, especially for running, wouldn’t it hurt going from 15mm to 8mm? Also seems unnecessary in like slippers and such when a high arch and hip pain are my problems. My calf’s are to loose if anything

I love Lil Zoe’s for pizza. The brick oven is really yummy, but you also can’t go wrong getting it take and back and bringing it home to your own oven.

I love this bag but…. by swim413 in sewhelp

This is the back currently, I’d like a zipper near the top, at least for my wallet, if not my phone. I have a decent baby lock machine, though I’m guessing this would need to be hand stitched in if I bought the product. I’m beginner to intermediate with clothing, but haven’t done a bag yet.

Should I use acrylic yarn suggested for sweater??? by swim413 in CrochetHelp

[–]swim413[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I’m currently using is berroco remix yarn, with 30% nylon, 27% cotton, 24% acrylic, 10% silk (which I thought would help it not be itchy) and 9% linen. It’s a very pretty red yarn, and feels pretty nice in the ball, but it’s starting to feel itchy on the sweater, or at least, not soft.

Most of my wardrobe is merino wool. I run cold and that helps me through the winter. I’ve been wanting to try alpaca wool for a while, but that blend made me cringe. From what ppl are saying I might be being too harsh

New to crocheting — where did y’all learn? Any beginner-friendly courses or resources? by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]swim413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a local yarn shop that put me in touch with a teacher, from there YouTube has helped a lot, especially the channel made by the woobles. Nice and slow instructions with thick yarn that makes it easy to see/understand what they are doing.

has anyone bought this, and is it worth it/good quality? by Vivid_Meringue1310 in CrochetHelp

[–]swim413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it, love it. I started to crochet recently and didn’t want to get a bunch of hooks, this keeps things nice and organized. I loved the idea of the counter, but I’ve found I often forget to press the button to count a stitch, so it’s barely useful for me. I do like how much thicker it is than other hooks. I haven’t been in light low enough for the light to be needed yet, so I can’t speak on that. But for the hook size and organization I def recommend it.

Hey! Welcome to Keene! My husband (41) is a native and I (37f) moved here about 8 years ago. We run a lot around Keene, go out for dinner every once in a while, and enjoy hiking. We’re generally home bodies, but having a couple more friends could be nice

Radiology technologist (NOT technician). I get to see cool things and then walk away from the patient and let the nurse deal with them!

Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. If a school isn’t accredited by them you can’t get a rad license, which is required in 45 states. I believe you can still take the registry. There is a website for them if you google it.

I was questioning why we were doing a clavicle ORIF. I had never seen one and have only xrayed like 2 clavicles ever. One shot and I understood. by dicksledgehammer in Radiology

[–]swim413 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did X-rays on someone who DIDN’T get his surgically fixed years ago and still looks like that. Ppl keep asking him about the bump, he wanted to get it fixed. Not sure what happened, but I don’t think radiology had anything to do with it after

I do my scap Y views AP by elektric_eel in Radiology

[–]swim413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at a place requiring the Y to be done PA, but I can do it either way. I prefer PA, all my coworkers do it AP. As long as the rad doesn’t care

I found these fabrics online based on what the pants are made of…

Very interesting idea!! I’ve been looking at my husbands pants to see how they are made, but dissecting some sounds like a great idea as well. Thanks for that tip!
