Do these gums look pale to you?
I tend to be anxious about my pup but I noticed his gums looking a little more pale than usual and we’re on vacation right now with a lot of woods and I just worry maybe he ate a bad mushroom or something.

I spent years dedicating myself to astral travel and projecting and got to the point where I would connect with entities and I’d be sent on these sort of missions (and I know that sounds corny) to help other people/beings who had parasitic attachments or who were being tortured in the astral realm. This would take a lot out of me in my waking life and I spent a lot of time focused on grounding and creating a safety bubble of sorts to protect my own energy. The safety bubble was an anchor sort of, outer shell of my inner consciousness that I would give freedom to make decisions because it would know the astral world better than my working consciousness because my intention was to allow it to be an anchor of understanding in the astral…sort of like how pirates would wear an eyepatch so one eye could always be acclimated to the dark. Anyways, I realized being a human being means I have to participate more in reality and not just sleep and astral project all the time lol, but I was so used to lucid dreaming it was hard to sleep and not project or be conscious of my dreams… I journeyed with Ayahuasca and asked The Mother to help my true myself in the physical because I was afraid I was spiritually bypassing and opting out of physical life. I said I wanted to stop traveling and focus on sleeping like a normal person so I can develop myself professionally.
Fast forward to today, (about 5 years later) and I’ve done that, became a nurse and all that stuff and I now want to balance myself and start traveling again, but that’s not the point.
The point is I have this astral self that almost serves as a servitor, and I hate calling her that because I feel like it’s belittling but don’t know what else, and ask for her help on things and she communicates on my behalf (for small things even, for example communicating with someone on my behalf while they’re sleeping because I need them to wake up and help me, but I’d only do this in times of strong emotional connection/ need. So does anyone have any sort of information on this other who I created? Like is she just hanging out sad and lonely waiting for me or what is her function when I don’t connect to her?
TLDR- I created an anchor self in the astral to help guide me and protect me while I travel, since I stopped traveling she is still there and I can connect to her, but I don’t understand how she is still there since I don’t call upon her and I worry I created something that is waiting for my connection but I essentially abandoned it.
Listen to Unethical by Faouzia when reading scenes with Tory and Darius. When I say sobbing omg 😭 Me and my best friend are reading these books right now and will just sob listening to this song after one of their heartbreaking scenes.
My 3 year old boy is my best friend and I’d love to take him on fun adventures but whenever he gets outside he just wants to sprint away from me as fast and far as possible. The number of times I’ve frantically chased him around praying for his safety has taken at least 5 years off my life!
We have a big back yard he likes to hang out in and run around playing. We go on walks, play games together, etc. He will listen to me in the yard and has great recall there, but never has he once come back to me after sprinting away from me, I’ve always had to chase him down.
Can anyone help with this?
I got a speeding ticket last week going 80 in a 65. (The highway patrol officer tried to get me for a seatbelt too even though I was wearing one, and she was like oh my bad). Anyways, I had gotten a speeding ticket only a few weeks back after not having one in 5 years. I know, I’ve learned my lesson.
I plan on going to court to hopefully get the charges lowered, as I doubt I’ll get it dismissed completely. I am terrified of my insurance rates skyrocketing. But I don’t know how to go about it. Do I plea not guilty and then ask for a lower violation, or do I plea no contest?
Any help regarding this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.
I was wondering the best way to go about pushing this pretty piece of labradorite. I have a dremel and some polish from my rock tumbling equipment. I have looked at several YouTube videos, but I haven’t found consistent info so I’d love some input! Maybe even a video someone else has used that has helped them in thee past. Thanks a bunch!
Okay so I know this may sound outlandish but I live in a country where horrible things are happening at the hands of our government large and local. It feels powerless to be a human right now. I want to petition to help these systems fall apart, to invite justice and maybe a little malice to those who have the power to make change and choose evil.
What gods would you invite? I work primarily with Hekate and Hermes.
Feel free to give suggestions, tell me it’s a bad idea, or just make comments. I’m open to advice!
They start you off at a micro dose, less than the standard dose for the same price which is just the first negative. When asking my doctor if we can titrate up more quickly because I wasn’t seeing any therapeutic effects, such as hunger suppression, after the first month I was told just to eat less and exercise more lol.
When messaging support to cancel they literally deleted my message asking to cancel and they have locked me from sending any future messages. Also their platform is horrible. There isn’t a way to see your card info or stop payment.
It’s a money grab platform where they use AI as there primary way of communication. Save yourself the headache and some cash in your wallet and use a different provider. I switched to Brello and they’ve been so much better.
I’ve been trying to find a good self tanner but there are so many and so much info out there! I am ghastly white, like reflective to the sun with cool undertones.
I really would love something that is gradual and doesn’t turn me orange. Anyone have good recommendations?
Hi everyone I’m on week 4 of 1.5 mg and I haven’t felt any effects or any reduction of food noise. I contacted my doctor about this (I use Ezra) because I saw most people start at 2.5 and then go to 5mg their second month. I’m supposed to go to 3mg next month and I’m frustrated because 1.5 did nothing and now I’m only going to be going up 0.5mg higher than most starting doses.
I reached out to my doc about not feeling any therapeutic effects and wanting to up my dose even if I feel negative side effects and they basically said your titration schedule is set to make you not feel side effects, try eating less. And I’m just so annoyed by that. I pay $175 a month bc a monthly plan was more affordable to me than the 3 month bundle but I may just say screw it and cancel with them to get a different provider with a higher/ more cost effective dose.
TLDR- started at 1.5mg and am scheduled to start 3mg on for my dose next week (5th week) reached out for a higher dose and doc pretty much said no. I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable or not.
Just got official notice from the BON with my license number and I’m so happy it’s over and I did it! Passed at 85.
So, this is what I did. I studied for a little less than two months. Bootcamp was a life saver. It maps out a study plan for you to keep you on track. You 100% have to understand rationales. Read every single one, even if you answered the question correctly.
The test is purposely vague. Like, insanely, laughably vague. You have to understand the system (be it the body system, the cohort of the individual or medications) in order to understand where it could go wrong, because we are being tested on how safe a nurse we are when things go wrong. This is the stuff you want to memorize.
Making notecards is no good, instead make flow sheets. Specially on the cardiac system (left vs right sided heart failure) and the cardiac system of infants (understanding shunting is so important I can’t stress it enough).
When answering questions ask yourself “is this question wanting me to assess or act.” Because less than 5% of the questions are going to be asking for a definition or honestly anything straight forward lol. If it’s a life threatening problem, act. If the patient is stable, assess.
It’s no secret the NCLEX loves to give you two choices that seem identical. When in doubt ask yourself “if I can do one thing before I walk away from the patient, what would it be?” Or “out of these two, which one is the SAFEST”
For SATA only select answers you are 100% on. Partial credit is a beautiful thing and answers you aren’t sure of will more than likely subtract from the knowledge you’re confident on- they do this on purpose as well.
Any other questions, please ask. Good luck everyone ❤️
Test shut off at 85 and I was like welp I either bombed it or I passed. Turns out I passed!
Just wanna say if you’re thinking of going for it after being out of school for a while, you can absolutely do it! I only used boot camp, studied an hour or two a day 5 days out of the week for about two months and felt really confident going into the test.
I’ve completed boot camp, used 95% of the questions with 67% correct answer percentage, and my readiness exam scores were 2 high and 2 very high.
Any free materials I should review that helped you a lot?
