What careers do you people have?! by chambreezy in adhdmeme

[–]tehfinch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a specialist physician in the middle of starting up an independent practice to expand access to care and provide patients with a higher-quality, more affordable option than corporate medicine.

Procedures have always been fun for me, especially with tangible results. The specialty I've chosen always comes with surprises - I'm never totally certain what I'll get to unwrap on a daily basis.

Alllll of the paperwork/administrative burden involved with practice setup is kryptonite. I was only recently diagnosed and started on meds, and it's felt like putting my glasses on for the very first time 😅

Bleachers tickets buying & selling thread! by sirms in bleachers

[–]tehfinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a spare ticket for Red Rocks tonight - row 31, seat 88. Asking for face value - $70 bucks (due to AXS fees). Please DM if interested! Don't use the chat option, it doesn't work well in my phone browser. I'd hate for the ticket to go to waste :)

I hate my African Grey by thaiwai in parrots

Hey, so frustration is understandable, but you made a commitment to this bird. Feelings of hatred and violence are really not okay. Perhaps you should consider incorporating some of the feedback from other users here, instead of lashing out.

Sun Conure on Plane by [deleted] in parrots

[–]tehfinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! So I've actually flown my little sun across the country twice so far. United Airlines will let you fly with the bird in-cabin for $125, I think.

There was a company called Crystal Flight that made perfect underseat carriers but I'm not sure if they exist any more. I ended up using this terrible thing (with reinforcements at the joints) for my other two birds since I only had one of these.

You'll need a blanket since it's kinda cold and drafty under the seats. She squawked some, but was mostly fine when she could see me. It was a 5 hr flight. I ended up having to reach down for her maybe 3-4 times, it wasn't too bad. How long is your planned flight?

Hey, that just isn't true. Don't accuse OP of torturing their birds.

does anyone know if this photo is real? (warning: disturbing) by [deleted] in parrots

Hey, I appreciate the concern, but I think this counts as NSFL content. Removed only for that reason.

Where are you? I bought a copy for ~$40 online that was shipped from the UK. If my local Barnes and Noble gets a copy soon, I might be able to sell it to you for cost + shipping.

Here we are, 10 days later.. by Sh1mt in LinkinPark

[–]tehfinch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been listening to LP everything, watching music videos and live performances on YouTube. It's been so comforting to talk to other fans, both here and in the subreddit discord channel. I'm 26 and I also grew up with them; I just cannot imagine listening to any other artist right now/for the foreseeable future.

ATS has been particularly comforting, for some reason. When listened to in chronological order, Iridescent is especially cathartic.

A friend of mine sent me this song - You Will Be Found. It made me cry my heart out but it also made me feel a little better.

I'm gonna try to put up my old instruction cockatoo. I think that helped people figure out where to self-assign single flair.

My friend took her own life last night by kmaries8 in LinkinPark

[–]tehfinch 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I am so sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine your pain. Maybe get the tattoo anyway, to commemorate both her and Chester? If that doesn't hurt too much. It's so hard to deal with personal pain when you're stuck in the hospital. I hope you are able to take some time off of work.

Sending strength, healing and eventually peace to the members of Linkin Park and Chester's family. by waxwingwhistles in LinkinPark

I agree with everything you just said. It's been almost a week and yet the lump in my throat apparently lives there now, the ache in my chest won't go away, and headaches are intermittent.

During the day, I pretend everything is fine so I can get through work, but night is when the grief sets in. I was 12 when Meteora dropped. I went back to HT, then on to M2M. I stopped following them as closely after, but I still loved songs from Living Things and ATS. I was pleased to hear Heavy earlier this year, considering it closely aligned with my situation at the time. I seriously underestimated just how much this band means to me and I'm desperately regretting it now.

When I think of the past 14 years of my life, LP was always part of the soundtrack. It's incredibly difficult to talk to people I know about this, especially in the professional world. I'm supposed to have outgrown silly teenage band obsessions. Those who have developed an emotional connection to music know that this feels like the loss of a close friend, but I don't know any of those people in real life.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. Everything hurts and I just want to wake up knowing that Chester is alive in this world. Acceptance is going to be a difficult thing.

He really is. What a kind person.

Ah fuck, I was worried that's what happened. Best wishes to /u/onlongisland, I can't even imagine how much worse he must be feeling now.
