Ha, youā€™re all good, Iā€™m probably worse than anybody at derailing.
Your chat was still on topic, but just thought it better to leave the instal thread with more pictures than chatter

lol definitely not!
I had my frustrations with the two previous donor centers I went to. I feel really lucky to have my current center, itā€™s my version of a spa. I go there stressed from life, lay in a padded chair, and watch YT vids for an hour and a half and get paid for it, then leave with less fat in my blood, and believe it or not more hydrated because I suck at drinking water before donating XD
They train in house for poking, so it would give me good practice with larger needles before I start the paramedic classes that deal with IVs which would give me a good head start!

I have a new kitten. My hands and forearms look like I had a fight with Wolverine. :sweat_smile:

Thatā€™s great! Donā€™t let my frustrations with the American healthcare system discourage you, Iā€™m just bitter haha. With an EMT cert in some states I believe you can be a part of the medical supervisor department where you respond to reactions, do physicals, etc, and I hear they get paid well. And you donā€™t have to deal with quotas as much haha.

Never going back to Discount Tire ever again!
They wouldnā€™t honor Continentalā€™s manufacturer warranty until i got the service writer to call continental and speak to a rep there today
Continental is apparently Discountā€™s largest supplier since theyā€™ve got so many sub brands. And Continental allows Discount to determine if an issue is a manufacturing defect or not. So all bubbles in the sidewall (which Continental is known for) are impact bubbles to them and not a defect.

The service writer tried to get me to pay for Discountā€™s warranty in case this ever happens again. I said no, and he acted like I just said something bad about his mother lol
Iā€™m going somewhere else to buy tires next time! There is no in case it happens again!

Thought Iā€™d share some local culture. For the those who donā€™t know, I live in what we Americans call ā€œthe southā€, basically the southeastern corner of the U.S.A. Traditionally itā€™s known as a bastion of backwardness and glorious incompatiblitly with sophistication. Iā€™m in Arkansas, not Florida, but google ā€œFlorida Manā€ for sampling of what Iā€™m talking about. Itā€™s a stereotype, and not always very accurate, but then you find shit like this.

This is a picture of the back of my local small town pharmacy.

Thatā€™s fishing lures, my friends. Thereā€™s three walls of it, and several freestanding displays. Thereā€™s 3-4 times as much fishing stuff as the local Wal-Mart carries.

In a little town, in the middle of nowhere, at the back of a teeny tiny pharmacy with no advertising to let you know itā€™s even there.

Today I live the redneck trope.
'Murica!
Glorious 'Murica.
