I love french toast so much! When I make it at home… I whisk some eggs, milk and Cinnamon… splash the bread on both sides and let it sizzle… I also make a ton extra and freeze the left overs so when I don’t want to destroy my kitchen with mess and dishes.. I can just throw em from the freezer into my toaster and bam! Instant awesome breakkie!
When I make pancakes I use the Jiffy mix recipe for waffles cause I find their thicker and fluff up as opposed to being flat lifeless disks…
I have struggled my whole life to ask for help. I’ve always been afraid of inconveniencing the helper, or getting judged about why I don’t know how to do something. I have a fierce independent streak, and have trust issues… what if I ask and then it’s used against me later?
After I quit drinking, and went to AA, and got a sponsor… I’ve been gradually retraining my brain that it’s okay to reach out and not stay silently struggling (I am told it increases my risk of relapsing). I’ve also always helped when I can to anyone who has asked…
As other commentators have said, without the ask for help, I wouldn’t know it was needed.. and wouldn’t want to assume anything…
What a great video that was! I really enjoyed watching it, and I laughed and could totally relate to what she was saying. Thank you very much for sharing this!
For me, I recently moved from a busy city to a rural-ish town to help take care of my grandparents. Since they’ve now passed, I’m taking care of their house/land. I love learning new things and being independent. I really enjoy mowing the lawn, splitting wood and running a wood stove!
I’m about 45 minutes from a huge city/trauma hospital/ big Mall… but I’m only 10 minutes from my kid’s school, the grocery store, and primary care physicians, and 7 minutes to my job (which is actually on my road too).
What I don’t miss from the city is the noise. My goodness, sirens and people and horn honking traffic, jackhammering construction etc. It was never actually dark outside. Couldn’t really see the stars in the sky and had to keep my blinds/curtains closed most of the time for privacy.
I’m close enough to emergency help if my family needs it, but far enough from the bustle of the city. I’m content.
I’m not a doctor… but if you need electrolytes, and hate the taste of Gatorade… you could try pedialyte. I’ve never tasted it personally, but I’d assume since it’s geared towards children… it’s gotta taste a tad better than Gatorade… hopefully?
I’d also suggest broths or soups if you’re able to tolerate them. That would help to hydrate you and give you some vitamins and minerals. Oh, also take a multivitamin or supplement to help you during this difficult digestive time..
I wish you good luck and good health. 🤞🏻 the specialists get to the bottom of this and you’re feeling better soon!
From the pictures I can see… you shoot some beautiful pictures! Hope all goes well and you don’t have any problems! Love the sky and rocks and the penguins Ofc! 😁
Walmart, people I know who’ve worked there were not treated well… and then there’s the plopping down in a town/city and hurting the local business just cause…
What the heck happened here? This video didn’t have an article with it… or did I miss it? I’m trying to understand what happened here. The guy pulls into a coned off space and then the cops pull up and just start shooting the guy in the car? Why?
That’s scary. I read some articles last night following links after this article. From nurses who like the thrill of “saving lives” (causing patients to code so they can be the “hero”). To doctors killing to get written into their patients’ wills. To one male nurse who killed his elderly patients, by all accounts simply because he hated geriatric women?
The crimes were years ago, but the system needs to be fixed. If a medical professional is suspected of causing harm to their patients, then they should be investigated while being suspended (or removed from direct patient care during the investigation).
If ultimately the accusations are unfounded, then great. However for those times the investigation shows wrong doing. That’s when shit needs to get real. Police need to be called in. Medical/nursing board of licensing should be involved. Otherwise, a hospital should be liable for lawsuits for wrongdoing in my opinion.
Every mental health professional I have seen over the years is a mandatory reporter (in the US). Meaning they stated to me, upfront… if you have thoughts of hurting others OR yourself that WILL be reported. I didn’t have those thoughts so I probably put that out of my mind rather quickly.
But after reading these comments, and the articles I can see both sides of the argument. Those suffering from these thoughts may well feel scared to admit them knowing they would have consequences for their jobs/ or legal trouble from admitting them. I’ve no idea who they would be “reporting” it to. I assume the mental health worker would attempt to send the individual to a psychiatric hospital so they can get help .
The whole thing is unconscionable imho. Obviously firstly, for her to prey on, and hurt/ murder newborn babies? I can’t wrap my mind around that. At all.
From the admins at the hospital ignoring the worried reports from the physicians who worked on the unit WITH her. The administration went so far as to demand those same physicians go to mediation with her and write out apology letters. Admins accepted her complaints of harassment over the doctor’s concerns that there was a pattern to the infants collapsing. If the DR’s refused to do that they were threatened to lose their jobs!
Then you have the fact that she was in a caregiver profession. Generally the public trusts caregivers/doctors. No one wants to believe that if you have a family member in the hospital, they are at risk of being MURDERED! That’s supposed to be a safe space from the world!
No one will be able to repair the public’s perception of the medical profession if medical professionals kill their patients.
This whole incident is terrifying. Reading the article, it linked to other articles, which I of course followed… that was a eye opening experience. I had no idea that there were multiple occasions that this had happened. Counting babies, adults, and the elderly. I can’t make sense of this.
My god. This is me. I mostly only sit down to watch tv/movies in the evenings… and that’s probably when my adhd meds wear off… but I press pause and get up and down so often. I even annoy myself. Forget watching with my kids. They groan and give me the side eye whenever I say I need to go grab something etc..
I’ve also noticed, the more anxiety producing the show/movie is… the more I have to press pause and leave the room. Suspenseful? Horror? Car chase? Heist? Yup… mom’s gotta get up 20 times… 😑
The hospital will keep sending you bills. Every month, and if you don’t pay that or set up a payment plan with them… they absolutely send it to a collection agency. That law agency will hound you all day every day, phone calls… text messages… Mailing threats and lawyer fees on top of the OG bill.
Eventually, I know from personal experience… they will take you to debtor’s court. Where you sit in a room full of strangers till your name is called. Then you have to prove how poor you are and they can pause the collection efforts for a period of time… or if the judge believes you can afford something… then your court ordered to pay… or else.
