  1. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    My son (not step son) has a job. I pay him $600.00 cash and buy his groceries. The clerical work he does for me is valuable. Most of my debt is student loans and does not qualify for Chapter seven....

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    AR'15's are a good investment. Some of the one's that I paid $500.00 for a few years ago are worth over 2k today. Ammo that I paid less than 10cents per round is now selling well over a dollar per...

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I do purchase US Silver Eagles. My goal is to get an RV and with Sat. Internet / Solar Arrays and live as a "nomad" mostly on BLM land out West and to build a "cash only" Psych NP business (no more...

  4. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not against vaccines. Rather I believe they have risks and benefits and that for most people the benefits outweigh the risks. I also believe it must be a personal decision not forced in any way....

  5. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    One of our core issues is that my SO and I live "separate" financial lives. There is no coordination. Our long term goals are fairly different. Thus it makes Dave Ramsey's approach difficult. It...

  7. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again, even if you could convince me that 10% of the population would die of Covid w/o the vaccine (around 35million) I would still oppose mandatory vaccination. Just as I argued with my friends at...

  8. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I focused on rifles because lately I have been purchasing AR10's (as have most have my friends) and we are told they are the subject of fothcoming bans. Handguns even at over 6000 are far less than...

  9. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I could not find buffets. Low carb was virtually impossible. What they called bacon simply was not. I don't drink or smoke and am not in to sex or drugs, smokers and alcohol, prostitutes and drugs...

  10. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    myoglobin replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    First off my loans about about 160K most of it occurred to get my ASN over 12 years ago. During that time I "maxed borrowed" to help pay rent so I only had to work part time. Also, I took more loans...

    Here is one source https://www.statista.com/statistics/195325/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-weapon-used/ . You will see that knives are almost triple rifles. Also rifles include things like hunting...

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, not on that one issue alone. But I was having a call with a long time friend who is "left of center" and he literally racked off at least eight issues from guns, to covid passports, to abortion...

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Most mass shooters did go though checks. Background checks don't work. Evil exists and bad people do bad things. More people however die from falls every year and knife attacks than die from rifles....

  14. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Bottom line I don't want to take the vaccine. I remember arguing after 911 with conservative friends who supported the Patriot Act. I argued that I would rather see a 911 event in every city in the...

    No, the vast majority of gun owners are law abiding. I don't think either Sarah Palin or AOC would be a threat. Guns are also highly regulated. Even though I've been through at least five courses...

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not an NRA member. Guns come up because they are the last line of defense against a totalitarian governments that seek to mandate things like Covid shots or interment camps. They are part of the...

  17. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It was meant to be a joke. The implication was that anyone willing to even "talk" to someone like me is probably not representative of the overall body of health professionals even at the facility...

    Well, these are also all people that I consider friends and since I'm seen as the "autistic, ADHD, crazy dude" it is a pretty biased

    I am saying that many people are immigrating illegally and are not being tested the exact amount cannot be known: https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-covid-immigrants-idUSL1N2LH35D I...

  20. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am suggesting that a large percentage of nurses will decline the vaccine for many different reasons and they offer a ready made cohort to compare outcomes and give us more data. I have...

    The fact that you call a former President an "idiot" demonstrates that your understanding is limited. No President (certainly not Trump or Biden) is an idiot. They may represent forces nefarious to...

  22. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Data on that which you seek could have been (and perhaps could still be) effectively obtained with a prospective cohort study of RN's who accept and those who decline the vaccine (not unlike the...

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Also getting vaccinated isn't even a guarantee against getting disease. Just consider the over 100 people in Washington state who have contracted Covid after being vaccinated. This is to say nothing...
