I watched that Chicago cubs fans fighting in the stands. And I’ve noticed a lot of men just swing their whole arm for a punch. Look like a girl about to pull another girls hair but instead landing a punch. It’s like there arms fully extend for a hug. It’s weird to describe it in words. Noodle arms just winding and wailing, to land a sideway punch. Like they’re not squared up to fight. The guy was obviously getting jumped in the video but still, so odd to see so many street fights like that.

I’m not a fighter, which is why I’m perplexed. But wouldn’t it be more effective to keep your arm at a short extension for a punch. Like in boxing. Boxers don’t wind and wail their entire arm for a punch. Am I wrong?

I want to collect Mimikyu cards and have a separate binder for all Mimikyu cards. The problem is I have a master set of brilliant stars. There’s a few good, now expensive Mimikyu cards in that set. The price of these cards is making me want to not collect all Mimikyu cards. Then if I remove the Mimikyu cards from my brilliant stars master set, it no longer feels like a master set of brilliant stars.

What do you in this situation? Buy the duplicate or pull the Mimikyu cards from my brilliant stars master set and still say that technically, yes I do have a master set of brilliant stars but the mimikyu cards sit in Mimikyu collection binder?

It’s a 2026 Hyundai venue. My mom is pissed and arguing with the dealership because they don’t know what she’s talking about.

While driving and accelerating there’s no sound. As you brake and slow down there’s a plastic floppy bouncing type of sound. Could be metal, but there’s no metallic type of sound, we are not sure. Don’t know where it’s coming from. We believe it’s something under the car. It’s more so driver side. Does anyone know what it could be?

Im obviously going to relax. But I feel this is beginning of crunch time to start studying for the ARRT. So far I’ve learned patient care, procedure positioning and physics. In the fall I believe we study pathology, and biological effects of radiation.

My notes are somewhat neat and organized but I changed study methods somewhere in between and it’s not all together in a sense. Should I reorganize? Just study to keep the information fresh? I feel like I sound like an overachiever but I don’t plan on overdoing it. Maybe an hour a day.

Without revealing any patient information, of course.

A patient ask me if Red Bull shows up as cocaine on a drug test.

Another time, I’m just observing a portable X-ray and the patient asks if he can eat his breakfast first. The tech said sure because this is a hotel not a hospital. I couldn’t hold my poker face that time. My jaw dropped. Jaw dropped as in damn, that X-ray tech just clocked the patient. Got him good. Patient was too into his breakfast to react.

Example I have a brilliant stars master set. Now I wanna collect Mimikyu cards. There’s a few good mimikyu cards in my brilliant stars master set. And of course I never pulled duplicates of them. If I had pulled duplicates, that would be perfect. Now if I wanna have a master set of mimikyu and brilliant stars master set, I would have to buy brilliant stars mimikyu cards for my Mimikyu card collection. Is that odd or too far to do? Or just do it for the love of collecting. I technically have the cards already. But it’s in my brilliant stars master set binder and I don’t wanna break it up. Which I don’t want to do that, that’s my first main set that I completed and had so much fun opening it.

I need ideas on what Mimikyu cards to collect. I don’t want to collect every Mimikyu card, I already collect every English pikachu card and I’m at the point to where it’s exhaustingly expensive difficult. Such as the exclusives like red cheeks e3 promo, comic con stamp pikachu, creator pack pikachu, etc. My point is I don’t want another collection like that but I love Mimikyu.

How do I curate and minimize a Mimikyu collection? Example what if someone collected pikachu cards but only with pikachu wearing a hat. I want to build a a collection similar to that, but for Mimikyu. Any ideas?

Is Ditto pikachu from Delta species a true Pikachu card or cameo Pikachu card? And the ditto as Pikachu promo xy40?

The delta species cards are the Pikachu yuki mori clay art cards. Ditto is yellow just like pikachu and the card is lightning type pokemon. But the xy40 promo, ditto as pikachu is purple and normal type pokemon.

I collect pikachu and it’s in separate binders. One true pikachu binder, cameo Pikachu binder, Japanese pikachu, and a miscellaneous binder with sleeves and coins, etc.

Currently all the ditto Pikachu cards are in my true Pikachu card binder. Everyone that looks in my binder says I should move them to cameo binder? Or just move the ditto xy40 promo because it’s not lightning type card and it sticks out it my true pikachu binder. But if I move that ditto promo, wouldn’t it make sense to move the delta species ditto to the cameo binder as well?

What do you think?

As of right now all the cards in my trade binder together is worth about $1,400 according to the collectoR app. Currently at 101 cards in the trade binder. Would I be crazy to offer every card in my trade binder to trade for ascending heroes pikachu treekachu sir? It’s currently listed on tcgplayer for $1,250. So there is wiggle room for a shop to make money on the trade. To give you an idea what’s in my trade binder, the most valuable cards in are charizard upc promos from sword and shield era, mew from crown zenith, Carmeleon 151 IR, crown zenith Entei and zoroark. Along with other trainer gallery, alt arts, IRs, SIRs, full art pokemon and trainer and some holo promos.

I’ve traded with card shops before and they have zero interest in my full arts pokemon, trainers and holos. In my opinion that’s bad business for them. I know the IRs and SIRs are selling like hotcakes. But a card shop needs to sell bread and butter, the full art, holo promos, etc. are the bread and butter. I’m rambling but that’s my opinion.

Do you think this would be a crazy trade to offer? I’m thinking of adding more cards to my trade binder. Possibly my celebrations umbreon and other IRs and SIRs I have.

So, I’m experimenting with my local card shops on who gives a fair trade. I’m on a secret shopper mission but for card shop trades. So far none have been fair. I’m not upset about it. I’m trading duplicates, SIRs I don’t want anymore, good stuff, stuff they can sell quickly. Stuff they can sell quicker than the cards I want from them to trade for.

The thing that bothers me in this mission of mine is, there percentage for trades. As expected but, I’m tempted to tell them off and I’m not that kind of person. Example, cards I wanted were about 23 dollars. I suggested my Vaporeon trainer gallery from brilliant stars. Which he would have profited of with just that card and sold quicker than the Cards I wanted from him. The guy is throughly looking at the condition of my card. I don’t play with them, they sit in a sleeve in vault x binder, since I’ve pulled them. He says oh the centering is off a bit. I’m like okay and?, I don’t actually say that. What if I said his cards are off center and demanded a lower price. So I suggested another card, then he wanted another card. I ended up trading 3 cards, including that Vaporeon. He’s going to profit 35 dollars with my cards, versus the smaller profit if I had just bought the cards I wanted.

So it’s that part that bothers me. I wanted to decline it. I know the value of the cards. But it got under my skin. So I thought don’t make a scene, be polite. I really wanted to say to that shop owner how bout I just pay for the cards so you get smaller profit and I don’t get ripped off in a trade from you.

But in all, how would you decline a trade, without heat and making a scene. Try and haggle? A simple no and walk out?

This is a safe place. Share, confess…and laugh at others. It’s good to make fun of yourself anyway, builds confidence.

I’ll go first. Mine would be poop analysis. Which I don’t think is that embarrassing. We have all look at our poop and wonder if it’s healthy. And ChatGPT helps me figure it out. I ate too much sugary snacks on an empty stomach and I’ll leave your imagination to what happened after. And ChatGPT explained that to me.

Slow clinical site with lots of students and needing comps by a deadline is an unspoken stress of a radiology program. Did anyone else experience this? I need 3 more comps in two days to meet mid semester requirement, if not my grade drops one letter grade. Such BS. I haven’t seen double digit in the number of patients since being at this hospital site. Then the exams that do come in are stuff I already have comp on. Or the other students do the exam. The other day, just three exams and there’s four students. I’m keeping my hopes high that I get the comps before deadline. But then 14 comps are needed for this short summer semester. Feels impossible in this slow hospital. Other students in my class started with carry over comps from last semester. Why couldn’t they be placed in the slow hospital! And place the students who need comps desperately in a fast paced hospital.

I’m venting. But am I right?

I wanna try ice coffee but don’t know which to try. I’ve tried regular coffee a long time ago, don’t remember what was in it but remember it tasted bitter.

I’d prefer something sweet but not overly sweet. Just a once in a while type of pick me up ice coffee. Nothing bitter.

I’m in the northeast. So lots of Dunkin donuts and Starbucks near me. I’m afraid of the Dunkin’ Donuts ice coffee because I hear people get the runs after it. Or I’d be willing to do a simple homemade recipe.

My first test I did well on because there was two weeks to study because of memorial holiday.

Now it’s a lecture one week, then exam next week along with a simulation. I’m an X-ray student. We are studying cranium next. And I’m just nervous because every tech I meet hates skull X-ray.

With the one week to study. I feel I have to cram everything. What’s some tips to study for an exam exactly one week after the lecture.

Does anyone know coupon codes that work in June. All the other codes I tried expired.

My tech told my school clinical instructor that I just push the button and don’t do exams that I comped on already. Which is a lie, I just don’t work with her. And that hospital was slow, there’s three students, and we see 10 or less patients a day. I swear this tech had it out for me, I felt that and didn’t work with her. I only worked with the other techs. This tech would help the other students but not me. One day I did a wrong foot oblique while working with her and from there on out she disliked me. You know how you walk by someone and in the corner of your eye you catch them staring, she was staring me down every time I walk past her. So uncomfortable. I don’t know why she was like that. I never talked back to her, no attitude, just told her I’ll practice more, but I still felt bad vibes from her.

What should I have done? I never stood my ground, wish I did. I’m at a new hospital now, so I guess it doesn’t matter now. But that tech really got under my skin. She made it seem like I’m lazy and have poor work ethic. Which isn’t me at all.
