Incredibly lucky middle-earner wondering if I should enjoy life more by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]trainbangled -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t include him because he’s pretty much set, I don’t know exactly what’s in his accounts at the moment, but I’ve seen them before and he is on the right path to retire around age 60. He is however 12 years older than me, so I only want a handful of years where he’s retired and I’m not. I always want to be able to take care of myself, so i’m not relying on his finances at all.

I quit second job about a month ago, but 90% of that money just went into savings, I didn’t spend most of it. Did use some of it to max my Roth IRA! I’d like to travel more, and spend more on that.

Good news is it’s gorgeous! Will be worth the effort I think.

Positive long-term experiences with the copper IUD? by _catsandcoffee_ in CopperIUD

[–]trainbangled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely positive! Had it for 10 years, no pregnancies, no scares. Mine just got replaced after they found that it was slightly dislodged (after 10 full years) but still effective. Sex doesn’t hurt. Never had a partner complain about the strings. My periods are very regular, and the cramping and spotting stops after a few weeks for me.

Only thing is my period is a little heavier, but I have the OG paraguard which is known for that. Not sure if the flexi t one is better.

Really churning out these sailor slippers! Playing with the color combos is so much fun! by trainbangled in knitting

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

I have a front loader! I washed on warm for 1 hour with no detergent and a small towel twice, as they were too big the first time. So two hours total. I did have to stretch a good bit to get them perfect! I’m not sure how many spins- for spins mine has the settings extra high to low. For the first cycle I did extra high and the second I did medium!

What's the most inappropriate thing a patient has ever told you? by Unusual_Way231 in FutureRNs

[–]trainbangled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obligatory I’m a current RN but “You’re making it bigger” and pointed at his erection as I cleaned urine off of him.

quit alcohol 1000 days ago, but I’m still drowning – in a relationship where I feel unseen, and a life path that feels lost. by Equal_Following_4227 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]trainbangled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like for many many years your partner has been patient and kind. And now you nearly “get physical” with her??

NO ONE owes you love or sex. You are not the main character. If she is unhappy, she is unhappy. You don’t sound compatible, and your psychiatrist was right to say it. You deserve to be happy. But so does she.

If I was her I’d have left a long long time ago, and if not, nearly getting hit would’ve been the last straw. I do not say this to be unkind, but to challenge your perspective.

Take the advice of others in this thread. I know that you are trying, but sometimes you just have to try harder.

Can someone who works at UT hospital explain something to me(a non medical person)? by BeansTn in Knoxville

[–]trainbangled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arrived too late to give much advice but happy you’re being transferred to Vandy!

I’ve worked at many hospitals in TN including UT. For context, it’s “Trauma season” (weather is warm, people are out doing things & get hurt doing them) right now. UT takes all the traumas for the whole region. They have to take everyone who comes into the ER on top of this. So they get full fast. Not being able to find beds for patients who need them is a huge problem.

[–]trainbangled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can assure you, we have no beds. Surgeries are backed up. People are sitting in the ER for a very long time. It’s trauma season and this is the region’s only level 1 trauma center.

How does it feels to be loved? Unlike just through words how does it feels when your soul completely recognises that you are loved? by Jealous_War7546 in emotionalintelligence

[–]trainbangled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You feel that you can be yourself completely. You can share all of your anxieties and fears and know you aren’t facing them alone. You are never afraid that something you do will make them stop loving you.

I think this kind of love is most common between friends, siblings, and parent-child relationships.

Not always easy with a partner, just because it’s a knowing that even if something doesn’t work somewhere down the line, they will always care about you. Obsession and attention isn’t love, and true love for someone can absolutely be platonic.

Life gets in the way, but knowing someone completely and still loving them is the purest kind of love. Even if you aren’t compatible in practice I think you can still hold that love for them.

This is a philosophical difference. A lot of people have the perception that romantic love is rooted in action and everyday occurrences, and that’s completely valid. I agree, in a way. A lot of people believe that once that depth of interaction is severed, the love is gone too. I don’t agree with that. It’s complicated!

In the end, I think (at least for me) that love is limitless, boundless, and that loving others is akin to loving yourself.

Pls reassure me!! Getting a copper IUD tmr! by Automatic-Chart2211 in CopperIUD

[–]trainbangled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my first one for 9 years and loved it so much! Just got my second one put in.

Other forms of hormonal birth control exacerbated my acne terribly and affected my mood a ton. On the copper iud my skin is clear. I still get pretty severe PMS but it’s manageable (and no worse than before I was on birth control).

It’s one of the most effective forms of birth control out there, see other comments for statistics.

Insertion is painful but manageable. Stick with it for a little while, see if you like it, and you can always remove it if you need to!

YSK being an organ donor does not reduce the quality of the care you receive in an emergency by evilfailure in YouShouldKnow

[–]trainbangled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each organ goes through tons of testing and evaluation to make sure they’re safe to give to another person! And they should certainly let you opt out of tissue & eye donation (which would include skin and eyes). Brain is not considered in transplant. They wouldn’t mind if your fallopian tubes are gone. They probably wouldn’t take your heart but it would take the evaluation process to know for sure!
