Cautionary tale for anyone taking the Sleep Technology program at CCBC, don’t make same mistakes as me. I missed the CPR course offered by the school so I had to go out and get mine done independently. Next mistake, I went and did an Adult and Pediatric CPR course offered by Red Cross. Tried uploading the certificate to the clinical requirements and it wouldn’t go through. Nowhere did it explain why it wasn’t processed, I didn’t get an explanation until I called the clinical requirement site where the representative explained it had to be a BLS course and not an Adult and Pediatric CPR course. I asked if that was the only issue and he said yes.

Then I took a BLS course offered by Red Cross, tried uploading the certificate and it still wouldn’t be processed. No explanation why. I call again and the representative said that the BLS course must be taken through the American Heart Association and not Red Cross. Nowhere on the clinical requirements website does it say that the Red Cross is not accepted.

Now I have spent a ridiculous amount on these courses because I missed the initial class which is on me, but also of the lack of explanation regarding what is required and what will or won’t be accepted by the clinical requirement site.

Tl;dr - if you need to take a CPR course for this program in case you missed the one offered by the school, make sure it’s a BLS course and it’s through the American Heart Association and NOT Red Cross. Otherwise it won’t be accepted by the clinical requirements

Does anybody know if there’s anywhere online to watch the movie in its full glory? The closest 70mm theater is like 75 miles away and it’s all booked 😭

Hey all, this will be quite lengthy so if you actually read it I applaud you and appreciate it. As the title suggests, my good friend (I’ll refer to him as Carl in this post) is getting married to a woman (called Ingrid in the post) that the group is not fond of. I caught wind of her red flags since before they began dating.

To begin, Carl tried setting me up with Ingrid. We were only texting for a couple weeks, we hadn’t even went on a date. I found I didn’t like her and I nicely told her I wasn’t interested in a relationship with her. She blocked me over this. I believed she was too clingy, cold and controlling. Carl then decides to ask her out immediately after this. When I met her, she ignores me and to this day if she’s around, won’t greet me, thank me for hosting events if she even comes (she wouldn’t come to my birthday party even though I invited her and went to several of her birthday parties), or look me in the eye. Simply cold, stubborn, passive aggressive and cannot take a joke.

Carl has had verbal fights with Ingrid, he’s disclosed with the group, and I even overheard one of them in the past. It was not pleasant as they were shouting at each other and they are about how he hangs out with his friends. Keep in mind he gives her plenty of attention and goes on dates and activities with her apart from the friend group, yet these arguments still happen.

On numerous occasions, other friends in our group which includes Carls sister have expressed concern and disapproval of her due to her behavior. The other week, we all got together for Carls birthday and Ingrid didn’t even show up to Carls birthday. She went out with a friend instead which I, as well as my other friends, found completely ridiculous and unacceptable of her.

When Carl stepped away that night to get some air outside, everyone discussed behind his back that we don’t believe Ingrid is right for Carl. One friend even expressed how he was in a bad relationship before and nobody would tell him to his face they disapprove of his girlfriend, so he believes this is a similar situation. I believe that some kind of intervention with my friends needs to take place to get all this out in the open but I really don’t want to cause a schism. I don’t feel like I can do this alone and I don’t want to speak for the rest of my friends to Carl. Carls been with Ingrid for around 7 years I believe and it doesn’t seem like things have improved. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue and if so, what did you do?

Hey everyone,

Stopped using pouches several days ago after using them for a few months after I caved during one of my longest quit streaks.

9 year nicotine user here. First began vaping for 5 years and have quit on and off since beginning of 2023. Since that quit, I have used pouches except the odd vape hit occasionally. Thankfully I haven’t hit a vape since December 2025 and I aim to keep it that way. My longest quit streak is around 3-4 months, but I cave and get a pack between my quit streaks.

I’ve been getting chest pressure at the center of my chest, it’s not quite me feeling short of breath. I drink one cup of caffeine (green tea) almost daily and I make sure to not over do it, I exercise (although I haven’t run or done high intensity cardio in some time) and I don’t feel feel short of breath, but I still feel this pressure at the center of my chest. Will this go away eventually?
