I'm not sure what I might have been doing wrong, but I couldn't select a team to credit for #HCWvsHunger. And I didn't get acknowledgement that my receipts uploaded. However, the most important thing definitely happened: my local food bank and my school's bank received support.

I've got a sample of a pre-shampoo 'bonding' hair treatment. The directions say put it on and leave for at least 10 minutes before rinsing and washing, 2-3 times per week. I want to know who are the people who have 10 minutes 2-3 times per week to marinate their hair?

@profanity.accountant How am I doing?

I just learned that the person who’s cooking the turkey thawed it in hot water-the most dangerous way to thaw. I’m scared. I have an excuse to not eat it-l’m vegetarian. But what about everyone else at dinner? Wish us well, please.

I remembered I have an apron BEFORE I started cooking. Please applaud.

If you want a specific kind of cake for your birthday there’s no reason not to get it for yourself and that’s why I will be buying an entire red velvet cake some time in the next 2 days.

We (AKA me) cancelled a surgery-pt hx make me say no. Now pt wants me to explain, but before calling I looked up old records and found things pt hadn’t disclosed that made me say Oh Hell No! Trying to figure out how to explain without sounding like I’m cross examining pt.

We acknowledge "upper middle class". I think we should also recognize "upper middle age". This occurred to me as I contemplated my upcoming birthday. It'll be my last year between AARP and Medicare. And that phase feels to me like it means something. I'm not 'old'. Yet. But I'm also not firmly

Damn. 42 degrees and raining feels so much colder than 42 degrees and sunny.

Dear sushi chefs: Please stop making rolls so large they’re uncomfortable to eat and I look like a chipmunk doing so. Thank you.

I’ve started celebrating the season with the traditional Vaseline and Tegaderm on my thumb.

Somehow my phone number has gotten on a scam bot’s radar. Caller ID says my area code, sometimes with a name, the call is always the same, telling me there are available M’care benefits. If I say I don’t have M’Care A&B it disconnects. Tuesday I got more than 80 of these calls. I’ve stopped

@swearsky.bagpuss.org how am I doing?

The longer it takes to get off this plane…….. The shorter my layover.

And another demonstration of the inverse correlation between time before your flight and time to clear TSA.

We have AI chatbots to help learn the material, and an assignment to teach the chatbot. Feels like a real person. Gives much positive feedback, even when I'm not doing well. Not sure I'd trust AI to call me on my bullshit when needed. Perhaps its a better model to be than to have a friend.

At the airport and the customer service rep kept directing me how to use the self serve kiosk. ( in my defense it has two scanners and no indicator which one scans what). Then when the self serve checkout at the newsstand froze the cashier asked if I needed help. It occurred to me that this may be

This is making me question my life choices.

I’ve never seen anyone else checking in when I stay at this hotel. Tonight there are 6 people in line ahead of me.

The last 2 days I’ve been finding money in the street. So it’s only 3 cents total, but still, I’m finding money in the streets.

I am torn. I have several notecards from local artists. They're beautiful, and I bought them to share with friends and other loved ones. But the artists have died. Now I can't decide whether to use them and share the loveliness, or keep because I'll never have the opportunity to replace them.

Tonight was the Pelikan hub. I drove down to attend, and I’m staying overnight in a hotel-in room 508. I looked back in my journal and last year after the Pelikan hub I stayed in the same hotel-room 508.

Full flight, agent warning the bins are smaller and asking for gate checking bags. She took one glance at mine and said, “That’ll fit”. I chose wisely

Why does everything take longer than I expect it to?

It took him less than 24 hours to find the heated sleeping pad.

Is this a thing? I didn't know this was a thing but it's on an official looking website. "the individual state's Secretary of Stat" Wonder what that person does.

Preemptively feeling sorry for myself because I'll probably cancel a planned trip next week-the timing's tight, and one of the airports is having ATC-cuased delays. Then I read there are federal employees LOSING THEIR JOBS and that gives me a new perspective.

Occasionally I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror and notice my eyes look a little crazed. Then I wonder if it's just because I'm very fair with dark blue eyes, or if I'm a little crazed.

I'm in a really crappy mood today. But I know how to make myself feel better; sit down and do the thing I hate doing and have put off 'til the last moment. Yep, then I'll feel better.

Classmate in an online class seems to hate doctors. She’s talked about US doctors committing malpractice and fraud. I’ve resisted my inclination to respond (other than pointing out that in countries with universal health there’s less incentive to file lawsuits ) but it’s becoming a distraction.

Decided I wanted to make a new feed of people I enjoy interacting with so I can spend time here having fun and leave the outrage and politics for when I’m in the mood for it. Googled how to make a feed and tried to follow the instructions . Here’s how it’s going, and I’ve given up making the feed.

If anyone is using iOS 26, how’s it working out?

Can someone please point me to a simple way to annotate a picture to make a meme? Thank you

I tried a recipe for a vegan mac and cheese and OMG that "cheese" sauce was so good I could have eaten a whole bowl of just the sauce.

Howdy @floregonian.com ! Hope you are having a wonderful day.

I'm shedding. Not just in the losing hair meaning (although that's happening too) but in the getting rid of s*!t that doesn't fit my life anymore. Knitting projects I abandoned years ago? Liberate the needles, take the remaining yarn to the re-use store. Books I know I'll never read-go the the

I’m offering a sincere apology to the #emergency doctors for the patient I sent to you today. I know you hate when people do it but under the circumstances it was the least bad option.

(Sigh) I posted a 2 post missive about my unease of what’s happening in the country and then realized I’d posted in response to someone else instead of a new post so i deleted it and now I don’t have the energy or time to recreate it.

Please tell me I’m not the only person who reminds myself of stuff by writing them on a piece of paper then taking a photo of it

Would someone please remind me that I will automatically wake up at the same time, regardless when I go to bed, so staying up late because “I don’t have to work tomorrow” is setting myself for sleep deprivation.

Buying as many as I can reasonably carry every time I go to the store before they come out with a new and improved flavor because I don’t think they can improve on this one.

I want a donut.

Is there any way to convince payers that vaccines that are getting new restrictions are actually cost-effective, and they should make good sense determinations what they will cover?

Heard someone on a podcast say whenever she looked at the time and it was the same numbers as her birthday she’d have a mini birthday celebration. I just spotted my birthday on a Porta Potty and I’m not sure how to react.

Just got final exam grade for my summer class. I was worried because in some earlier assignments I got the lowest grade in the class. On the final I got the highest grade. Wonder if part of the reason is because the final was graded anonymously, with only our grading number to ID us.

I’m going to start reviewing my basic sciences because at the rate this administration is burning through qualified medical administrators I figure pretty soon my number will be up and I want to be ready.

Time for another @profanity.accountant checkup.

What did you not do today? I did not put this in a chart. "I have reviewed both copies of this 15 page excruciatingly detailed ER note with a differential that includes MI and arrhythmia and I cannot find an EKG, a reference to one, or an order for one."
