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, itās 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.

Thatās great! Donāt let my frustrations with the American healthcare system discourage you, Iām 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 donāt have to deal with quotas as much haha.

Never going back to Discount Tire ever again!
They wouldnāt honor Continentalās manufacturer warranty until i got the service writer to call continental and speak to a rep there today
Continental is apparently Discountās largest supplier since theyāve 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 Discountās warranty in case this ever happens again. I said no, and he acted like I just said something bad about his mother lol
Iām going somewhere else to buy tires next time! There is no in case it happens again!

Thought Iād share some local culture. For the those who donāt know, I live in what we Americans call āthe southā, basically the southeastern corner of the U.S.A. Traditionally itās known as a bastion of backwardness and glorious incompatiblitly with sophistication. Iām in Arkansas, not Florida, but google āFlorida Manā for sampling of what Iām talking about. Itās 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.
Thatās fishing lures, my friends. Thereās three walls of it, and several freestanding displays. Thereās 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 itās even there.
Today I live the redneck trope.
'Murica!
Glorious 'Murica.
