Hello! As you can see, i'm looking for a team I can join and actively play war thunder. Air rank IV, ground rank III, lvl 29. I am from Croatia, 35 yo, and speak fluently english. Have discord too! Feel free to ask me any question!!!!

Hey everyone, this is my first post on this community page. I've been a newly qualified nurse in the NHS for 6 months, and I'm contemplating leaving my first RN position. My parents don’t speak English, so I help them with daily responsibilities, which can be very stressful. I worry about them while at work in case of an emergency. My sister and I have sought help from the council and social services, but their support is limited, so we handle most of it ourselves.
I work in the ophthalmology outpatient department, which has a high patient flow. We see about 250-300 patients a day across various clinics. While I love my supportive team, the management is problematic. 4 months in, I was put on call after a long day, totaling 15 hours, with another long shift the following day. I was reassured I wouldn’t be on call until I felt confident and that it was unlikely to get called out at night, but that wasn't reassuring as my colleagues on call have been called out. By that stage, I wasn’t confident as I’ was still new. When I told my line manager this, she said I’d be fine. I don’t understand how they allow on-call for nurses who do long days and may need to stay late, then get called anytime at night. It’s inhumane hours. I understand night shifts on wards as you know what hours you’ll do.
Another problem is that staff have raised issues about clinics numerous times to management, but they seem to shrug it off and not sort things out. During my supernumerary period, I initially received support, but after getting some things signed off, I was left to work on my own. Although I have a preceptor, I rarely get to work with her now. Initially, I loved this job, but after 4 months, it’s overwhelming due to the high patient volume. I feel deskilled as my tasks are limited to checking visual acuity, intra-ocular pressure, blood pressure, blood glucose, and instilling eye drops. I've had to take time off work due to stress at home and work, and I have recurring gastrointestinal issues under investigation by my doctor.
I loved community nursing and the minor injuries unit in my third year student nurse placement. I was offered a community post but declined it for this current job due to worrying about car wear. I now regret it because community nursing offers a lot in terms of skills, learning opportunities, and career progression. I’ve realized I want a nursing job with transferable skills and a variety of clinical tasks, which ophthalmology doesn’t offer. I'm constantly looking for other job opportunities, including community and practice nursing, though practice nursing is very competitive and I was declined.
I’ve just been put on bank/locum to potentially do extra shifts in the department, but they also said I can do shifts around the hospital. I'm terrified because I don’t give medications besides eye drops, do IVs, bloods, or catheterizations, which some places need. I’ll likely just be doing healthcare jobs which I’m fine with but areas may want a nurse with those skills.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yay for large pockets and belt clips.

I’m new to cricut, i have already chosen a machine which is the explore air 2.
But before commiting to this new hobby, I just want to make sure that it’s able to do what i’m targetting to do.
Case - i want to reuse those left over sticker frames from toys (ex. Gundam stickers, toy stickers)
Make new designs on the removed stickers - print - cut out through explore air 2
Is it possible?

That contrast is what makes the world go 'round and what makes Supertramp go 'round. His beliefs are a challenge to mine and my beliefs are a challenge to his." This idea [having the album talk about their strained relationship] was eventually scrapped in favour of an album of "fun" songs [...]

As you can gather, this album was specifically created to be somewhat more "fun" and commercial compared to the others - and it would pay off massively. Breakfast In America is a stone cold classic, full of classic tracks. Among those sits Oh Darling.
And Oh Darling, despite never being released as a single, became one of Davies's most famous compositions. A live version was left off Paris and Live In Paris '79, but is present on the deluxe edition of Breakfast. Lyrically it's similiar to Ain't Nobody But Me in some ways, about pleading the other person to not leave the relationship (it feels however way less "creepy" than Ain't Nobody But Me).
Musically, it's one of the album's tracks where the Wurlitzer is more prominently featured: for that, it feels like the "quintessential" BIA track. A ballad, Rick also sings using his trademark falsetto during the bridge 'round the 2 minute mark and also during the outro. That chorus is, of course, extremely catchy: I wonder why they didn't release this as a single, I think it had a lot of potential.
At the very least this saw release on The Very Best Of, Vol 2 and Retrospectacle; but despite singing its praises, it's not really my favourite on the album. Breakfast In America features stronger tracks, and with my bottom 2 being this good it just goes to show that for their "commercial" album, Supertramp really knocked it out of the park.

They had a great sale over Memorial Day holiday weekend. Needed to reach out to them pre-purchase and they were very responsive. Grabbed a Mark IV Competition on Saturday and came back Monday for a Mark IV 22/45 Lite. Had tracking on Tuesday and they were delivered my FFL Thursday afternoon. Great buys, thanks!

As somebody who lives with an incurable lymphoma (and has now for 8 years, having gone through 3 failed treatments already, the fourth now, a clinical trial with a median effective rate of 18 months, where I am now), my life has been so tremendously affected by lymphoma but it seems like nobody gets it.
Add COVID into things and how so many of our lives were impacted by that, and now the aftermath of pretending like there’s this pulmonary/cardiovascular disease out there that doesn’t exist, and I’m just tired.
I’m a dad, husband, son and brother. The sole breadwinner in my family in a high pressure job that now, and for the last four years, works from home. When I’m around crowds of people, I usually get sick, so I pick and choose moments when I’ll do that.
Thanksgiving gave me a “cold” for a month. My niece’s birthday in January, sick for another month. I then got something in March (tested COVID negative but had major body pain, particularly the lower back) and was sick for weeks. Took the kids to Disney in April so they could experience some normalcy (BTW- they’re 9 and 11 and don’t know that I have “cancer” because that equals dying to them) and then had a “cold” for weeks thereafter and now have shingles for the last 3 weeks. My parents are boomer Trumpers. My siblings “don’t want to make their lives more difficult” so avoid being emotionally honest with them about anything, effectively making me their emotional scapegoat for my living with cancer and being a detriment to all.
It’s such a f-ing drain emotionally. My condition, Waldenstrom’s, is one that’s “highly treatable” but typically affects people 65 and older. I’m now 48 and this has been the most mentally and physically taxing experience of my life, but the biggest part of it is that nobody (except for my wonderful wife) truly understands.
I feel like I constantly have to explain why I WFH, why I need people to be honest about whether they have “colds” or “allergies” and would prefer not to be around people who don’t know/don’t care. Why my focus is on ME and MY family and not my parents, siblings, anybody else.
I don’t trust anybody more than I trust myself any more but am tired of having to battle everybody and everything. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel… to me, it’s a black cloud in the distance that inevitably ends in sadness and heartbreak for me, my wife and my kids.
My biggest breakdown came when my doctor wrote “Stage IV lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma” in my chart after two failed years of chemo and as I was sobbing said to me “but that’s what this is.” My response “but you never spelled it out like that.” Seeing those words changed something in me.
I’ve had therapists/seen psychiatrists. At one time I was diagnosed with depression secondary to anxiety (delayed onset as the result of the diagnosis they called it) because when asked the question “do you see this coming to an end,” I answered “no. There is no end to this.”
Beyond a cure, I KNOW I am not wrong. I’m also not particularly hopeless in the sense that I see the world as terrible. I don’t. The world can be wonderful. I love my wife and kids. But…
What am I missing about my reality that everybody seems to think I’m getting things wrong and I feel the need to constantly defend myself?
I feel like I’m being gaslit to the ultimate degree about how I SHOULD feel. About my dysfunctional family dynamics. About the end game for my health.
Treatment options ARE running out. Chemo DOES f-ck me up. My immune system DOES function poorly.
I’d have to be the eternal Pollyanna optimist to think this is all going to end well for me and, I know I’m not that.
Just venting. Nobody gets it. Nobody beyond my wife. But, I also don’t want her to have to be on this train until it crashes into the ground, which it will eventually. Sooner? Later? Who knows. Just sucks to feel like a lemon. I thought life would get better in my 40s. But at 48, living with this black cloud truly blows.

So I got a new deck (the rider tarot deck) as a gift and IV tryed using it multiple times but it never resonates nor does it make sense. Every time I look through the booklet the deck provides all of the cards are quite negative like almost all of them and I just don't know what to do. (╥ω╥`)

Got all 4 of mine out yesterday at 915 am and I have been completely fine when I got back home I just bit down on the gauze, iced my face, and napped for a couple hours then was able to drive back to my dads house. I’ve been living off chicken noodle soup, Powerade, and chocolate ice cream and I’m having slight discomfort on my bottom right spot the other 3 feel completely fine and I have no swelling (yet.) for the pain I’m taking ibuprofen, tylenol, and oxy all together weird enough I can barely feel the oxy (5ml) and the ibuprofen and tylenol is helping me the most. Everyone says the younger you are the better and I’m 16m is this normal or am I just having a super chill recovery. Also I feel bad for you all that are going through it right now prayers up 🙏 also I’m craving like real fulfilling food so bad but that’s probably not a good idea so here I am eating chicken noodle soup at 7am 🤣
Edit - and the actual procedure went great only took about an hour the doc said he had to go a bit deeper for the bottom right which is why it’s bothering me a bit more than the rest. But yeah the only pain I ever felt was getting jabbed with the IV I was really surprised how the anesthesia worked because this was my first time ever going under for a “surgery” and I was expecting like in tv shows and movies how you slowly fade in and out of consciousness then just slowly pass out but I was wide awake and then boom I was completely out and I woke up in the recovery room. I also didn’t say anything wild like everyone always hypes up on the internet I just woke up and said to one of the nurses that she was magic and she laughed at me there were also 2 other people in the recovery room at the same time as me but they were both still completely out of it and when I woke up I sat up right away and tried to start talking to everyone. I also hope karma does not come for me and I somehow become in miserable pain today but yeah just finished me soup and downed some meds good luck to the rest of you and let me know your experience with the anesthesia you had 🫡
