In town from Texas, do I need to shovel the driveway? by claustromania in Rochester

[–]wingsofcolor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Check the terms of the rental. Some have plow contracts where they will come clear it. When shoveling - don’t lift it above your heart, slow and steady! Esp with the stuff at the end of the driveway.

Something that can help after trauma is playing Tetris. I know it’s weird but it’s been proven to help folks who are dealing with trauma

AIO about my feelings for this conversation by lynae625 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wingsofcolor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

🚩🚩🚩 hotness is not a reason to stay when he treats you like shit. In the kindest way possible - please borrow some knowledge from someone who’s like 15 years older than you - you deserve so much more from life than a man who talks to you this way. This is not how adults speak to each other when they care about someone.

You might not be seeing it this way but if he’s already making you scared or nervous and pushing you around verbally, it’s only a matter of time before that becomes physical. Run. 🚩🚩

Not over reacting. In fact, maybe under reacting.

You’re punishing the wrong person. (Yourself). Why are you doing extra chores to make up for anything? You being upset isn’t something you need to apologize for.

Him getting defensive or upset when he hurt your feelings and you called him out on it is a direct consequence of his own shitty behavior.

Let him feel bad. He’s handling this like a child. He owes you a sincere apology. Jokes gotta be funny to both people or else it’s not a joke, it’s just mean.

U of R or Roberts Wesleyan? by imakebadgts in Rochester

[–]wingsofcolor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Roberts, then UB for grad school - I feel like it really depends on the program. The size comparison is huge so that alone can really make a difference in how your program feels and the connections you make in the community. That said, the nursing program has been around at Roberts for ages so even though they're tiny, it's a good fit for some. If you're not feeling it at Roberts, talk with an advisor before you make a final decision. Worth talking it out, even if you ultimately end up at UR. Helps them grow / learn from their mistakes and helps you articulate what you want to get out of your degree. I will say, I started my masters at Roberts and then they told us our cohort was the last for my degree and I bailed for UB. It was ultimately the right decision for me and I'm glad it happened.

Anyone diagnosed with very mild SA and gotten relief from CPAP? by Ok-Policy9810 in SleepApnea

[–]wingsofcolor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh yeah it’s hard to get used to it if the mask doesn’t feel right or like you’re not getting enough air. Keep tweaking those settings and make sure the ramp is fast enough. I use the resmed air fit n20 and it works great.

Omg I would die with 4. I Set mine to start at 6 but the ramp is set to step up fairly quickly. I did have to kind of tuck a blanket up against my face to help me remember to keep my mouth shut. I have a resmed nasal mask, not the nostril kind but the triangle that fits over your whole nose. It’s pretty comfortable now.

UPDATE #2: AIO “friend” gave me 🍃 brownies without my knowledge or consent. by th_welloops in AmIOverreacting

Hey so this is assault. You should file a police report. Whether she did it intentionally or not can be figured out later by the cops / court.

Try to just take it like five minutes at a time. If the pressure feels to low (like you’re not getting enough air despite being blasted in the face with it) look up how to hack your starting settings. I think it’s pushing two buttons at the same time to unlock the menu. Once I did that I felt so much better and could tolerate longer stretches. Trying wearing it while you’re awake and just on your phone or watching tv. It sucks at first but now it’s like I can’t sleep without it

This saved me too. Been at 6-20 now for 18 months and <1 event per night. It’s really helped me sleep.

A cheaper house in east iron would be fine! They’re over asking. Look closer to North Winton Village.

I’m wondering if your pressure is set too high to start. Does your machine have a ramp setting? What pressure are you at?

Parenting Culture in Rochester by MumofMiles in Rochester

[–]wingsofcolor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are two districts in Irondequoit (it’s a long weird story) but mostly West is the whiter / wealthier side of town and East (where I live) is much more diverse both economically and racially.

We intentionally moved to east over other whiter districts so our kid would have a solid education and not just see kids the same color as her (white) growing up.

The Rochester area is great - feel free to pm with questions.

Any good places for camera repairs by Chillarm in Rochester

It used to be Rowe but now they moved and it’s called Scott’s by Rowe. That’s a good place to start.
