The allure of cryptocurrencies in India is multifaceted: they promise high returns, provide an alternative to the traditional banking system, and offer a platform for technological engagement. Digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are increasingly viewed as tools for wealth accumulation and diversification, especially among the tech-savvy youth". Commented Krishnendu Chatterjee, Co-founder and CEO of A2Z Crypto.

OTC Crypto Exchange Platform

An OTC crypto exchange is a platform where buyers and sellers can trade cryptocurrencies directly without intermediates. It is ideal for large trades or high-net-worth individuals who want to avoid the price fluctuations and limits imposed by other exchanges. It offers higher liquidity and greater privacy than regular crypto exchanges. If you are interested to know everything about OTC Crypto Exchange Development, then check here, https://bit.ly/3FHqQZ4

Delivering price a basket full of arthritis aids instead of flowers

LMFAO

John stares at the basket like what the hell? What is this for? He opens it and immediately knows he needs to hide it from Simon.

CBD creams, arthritis creams, a bottle of a his choice OTC pain reliever. You added in a few of the protein bars and gummy bears he likes too.

He hides it all in the false drawer in his desk.

[naughtybg3confessions]

I have a bad back, which I've injured at work for the second time this month, and I can't walk upright or even sit at my desk without being in so much pain. The otc painkillers are doing NOTHING. I'll see if I feel up to posting confessions today, maybe I can borrow a friend's laptop or something and do it from bed. 😭 Sorry, folks.

"Don't overreact, this technology will never be used against people." My mans, have you never lived in a world? Technology is always used against people. That doesn't make technology bad, but it does mean dismissing it as harmless is very stupid. It means we have to be vigilant.

"Using it that way would be clearly illegal." Bruh have you ever had to exercise your rights against someone with astronomically more resources and power than you? Do you think you would win, for instance, in a workers' rights fight against Amazon, all the way up the chain of appeals superior courts? Because that kind of power is usually who decides if shit is illegal.

"Nobody would take it seriously." Mate people already choose partners based on astrology, won't let their kids be friends with Geminis or Scorpios, and give their pets homeopathic remedies for cancer. Don't tell me to rely on the discernment of those people. Especially when there are plenty of those people working in positions where they have power over others.

"But it IS accurate. It DOES work! It IS true!" Bud, even DNA evidence is fallible, and we have now admitted, even the FBI has admitted, that hair and fiber evidence is unreliable, and it was once considered top tier. Phrenology was used as evidence. Spectral evidence, people seeing imaginary demons and witches, was used to kill people. Once upon a time, the four humors were cutting edge. People still abuse children with ABA. We ask people for drug tests before desk jobs despite them being inaccurate and unnecessary. My mom used OTC speed to yo-yo diet. Phlogiston, for fuck's sake. We have always thought new things and new ideas were accurate or good. Many have stood the test of time and probably will continue to do so, like germ theory (thanks, Lister!), but also, many of those things are later proven wrong. We don't treat syphilis with mercury anymore.

You cannot assume that anything "we all know" or that is "common sense" is going to remain that way.

And you HAVE to interrogate EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. And do it from the POV of the most vulnerable person with the fewest resources.

That means listening to us when we say something is potentially super bad, and how.

the harvey brainrot is going crazy; i tell you.

male reader, sfw, pining

as the colder seasons drew near, you knew you has to say goodbye to the summer. as you felt the warmth of the sun kiss your skin for the last time, you woke up to the chill, autumn's day—leaves scattered around your front porch, the smell of mushrooms and spice, and overheard crowing of the birds outside gave it all away. you already got out of bed, haven made your room and ate breakfast. it had became a daily habit for you to stop by the clinic at around 9am. with being the new guy in town, you knew that not everyone would be comfortable and friendly at first. now? you're proud of how you held yourself so far.

if there was something that motivated you, you knew that saying hello to the local town doctor was the answer. you're surprised by how harvey always manages to spend some time with you; no matter if it was a lengthy, verbose conversation—or, a rather mellow hang out session behind closed doors. how harvey adored being able to speak with you, asking for you to chat. he could listen to your voice for hours and hours...

harvey was one to be bit insecure in his masculinity, as he felt that he was more comfortable expressing himself in a more emotionally vulnerable way. he never knew that a man would ever want to take interest in him of all people. he was certain he wouldn't have made a great boyfriend, and that he was destined to be alone forever, it seemed, as his anxieties and worries get the best of him at times.

harvey wasn't in the greatest shape, even if he was the most educated on the health and wellness of the human body. his poor eating habits reflected on his lifestyle, since he never had much time to stay home and cook for himself. even then, if he had at least someone to help take care of, and to love, to hold, to kiss—maybe, that'd bring him some other incentive.

oh, but one could daydream about the new boy in the valley.

as it was nearing the clinic's opening time, harvey managed to wake himself up from being too lost in thought. he should know better by now, as he knows that he shouldn't be insecure over problems teenagers would be having right now. what made it worse, however, was that harvey was self-aware that, yes, his feelings were valid—but, it didn't change how terrible he often felt at times. his interest in aviation has served as a wonderful distraction from the bustling life that he has led so far—even if that was ironic, due to him staying in the rural area of stardew valley.

harvey was beginning to shelf some of the otc medicines at the front desk, until he saw the man he was just thinking about, you, appear. he laughed out in embarrassment, even though he's used to your arrival, he still managed to drop the bottles on the sterile tiles. bending over to then pick them back up again, harvey told you to wait a moment, as he got everything situated. your gentle chuckle at his frantic attempts to get the items in order made his heart skip beats.

"how are you? be careful, there." you said, as you greeted harvey with a gentle smile. you loved how his presence always made you feel like you were floating in the clouds. even in this damp, cold weather—harvey was always your sun. "hopefully, you've been well."

harvey couldn't help but take a moment to appreciate you. he didn't want to ever come off as accidentally clingy; you just made him feel like a little lovesick fool over you. all those nights where he had a pillow pushed up behind his back, pretending that the warmth there was from you instead. those other nights, where he'd bring his cushion up to his chest, hiking his leg up, so he could feel like he was doing his best as your "boyfriend" in protecting you—imagining his hands trace along your back, and all the way up to your face; planting soft kisses on the top of your head. oh, how his pillowcases must feel so loved.

how you held yourself, and your cadence especially, was something that he could study. harvey sometimes copied what you do, and he doesn't mean to! either repeating certain vocabulary, standing in the same posture as you, or simply expressing his best interest in your own personal likes and loves—he knew it was common for people to mirror their crushes... but, never did he knew that he'd fall victim to such behaviours! he didn't know if a guy like him should be reacting in such an emotional way; taking every little thing you do to heart, making sure to remember the tiny things. you were really what he needed, and if you didn't want to be his boyfriend—it's okay! he wants you to be happy and comfortable. just being friends, he's just so glad that you're willing to do this all for him.

"i have! i mean, same old things. wish i had less work. i think it's funny how people assume i'm not terribly busy all of the time..." harvey would then muse; even though he may have a tendency to overshare, he was mainly explaining his thoughts. you knew that you wouldn't make fun of him, as he was comfortable enough to even begin with sharing this to you.

"i think if i were to go to to the city, there'd be thousands of people who could just do the same job. even if there'd be more patients, it feels somewhat too confining-ly corporate." his voice was gentle, as he leaned over the counter. he didn't care of "confining-ly" wasn't even a word. "i do appreciate the business i get around here, from time to time. i wish the clinic didn't have to smell like disinfectant and have that annoying hum of the generator... it feels so out of place, here in pelican town."

you assured him that his place was way better than the aesthetic pollution joja was doing by occupying the valley here. you got a little laugh out of him. "unfortunately, you're right. true, true."

After my shower, I'll be sewing for as long as my room isn't an oven. We won't be getting below 90 F during the day anytime soon. Have I mentioned I hate summer?

When I was a child, nearly every teacher would ask the class what our favorite season is. I was the only child who loves winter, and the teachers always made the assumption about it being holidays and stuff. Nope, and I would correct them by saying "because everything is dead." The very concerned teacher would then call my parents to discuss this. Folks, I have impressive indoor, outdoor, seasonal, and skin allergies. Thr only medication available until I was 16 was benadryl and Sudafed. Benadryl has the same active ingredient as OTC sleep medication. I carried a box of tissues and a plastic shopping bag everywhere because I was constantly dealing with a runny nose, congestion, and itchy eyes. Winter was bliss. No pollen! I was free!!! Then Allegra arrived, and I could finally take an allergy medication that didn't knock me out nor mess with my seizure meds.

Winter is still my favorite season, though it's very different in the PNW. Nothing but rain, and every two years an ice storm. No wildfires, no sunburns, no heatstroke, no SAD (I suffer that in summer), and I can wear my sweaters and fuzzy socks. Oh, and sewing without feeling like I'm dying because the iron is warming my room.

Anyway, heading to the shower soon. My hope is to finish all the pear blocks today. I should take the next three days off to get into the new routine, but I'm genuinely tired of looking at this thing. I wanna move on to machine quilting the baby quilt, and that'll be done at my desk. Having that listed in the shop this month would be awesome. Plus, I have a few tea-themed mini quilts, table runs, and mug rugs I plan on making. So many cute things!

How OTC Crypto Trading Works

Most OTC desks mandate approval for trading and enforce trade minimums typically starting in the five or six-figure range. They assign individual account representatives to clients, offering options such as buying, selling, lending, borrowing, and custody services.

While some OTC desks connect buyers and sellers on a case-by-case basis, larger platforms often maintain a ready pool of liquidity for instant trades, akin to regular crypto exchanges.

OTC desks usually generate revenue by charging a spread or commission on trades, with spreads ranging from 0.25% to about 1% of the transaction size.

I can't shut up about this. I want to talk about it all the time.

I started struggling with back pain over lockdown bc I couldn't go to the gym, so I wasn't working out or stretching literally ever the lack of activity wrought absolute HAVOC on my lower back. It hurt ALL THE TIME.

I learned about fascia during this time so I tried to fix it with self myofascial release (basically where you sort of push on and massage your muscle knots to encourage blood flow and fluid drainage) and it just didn't really work

I'm really wary of taking OTC medication because it's so easy to OD on and I have a family history of kidney issues so I was just kinda... in low level pain all the time? Even after I started working out again, my back still hurt and was constantly in knots.

During this time, I kept researching fascia bc sports medicine is a passion of mine and we're only just starting to understand this collagen network that runs all over the body. A whole tissue network! That we know practically nothing about!

The principle behind myofacsial release is the idea that this collagen can stick to itself if you hold positions too long— say if you're slumped over at a desk for 8 hours a day, then go home and sit on the couch for an additional 4. This supposedly causes the muscles underneath to contract and stay contracted. The prevading belief was that blood flow to the area would be inhibited, impeding that muscle's ability to get rid of cellular waste. Pressing on the knot is supposed to stimulate blood flow and allow the muscle to relax.

I honestly don't know if that science is still considered sound, but I can say with absolute certainty that pressing didn't work for me.

So I read more articles and watched more videos on fascia and I noticed an idea energizing that you need to take your body through its full range of motion as much as possible. Not just stretching and exercising, but twisting and squirming and doing whatever you can to unstick fascia from itself.

So I got my ass on the floor and writhed.

I twisted in every way I could think of, with special focus on contorting my lower back into whatever pretzel shape I could get into.

I haven't had back pain since.

I'm really excited to see what comes out of fascia research in the future and how it can help people be healthier.

Bag Tour 2024: Daily Bag Edition Feat. Hannibal Lector

All images have alt text descriptions with items listed, bag tour, and the reasons for each item below the cut

The Bag Itself:

This bag is a Coach Turnlock Tote bag in the pebbled leather color Blossom. This bag, the belt bag I now use as a bag organizer, and the wallet were all gifted to me in 2019 by a family member. The belt is too large for me at this point in life, so the pouch has been repurposed as a Toolkit of sorts. While it is a hair small fully packed, I enjoy the color of it and the balance of it as well as the functionality of the pockets it has.

The Straps:

My straps on this bag usually aren't this cluttered. However, Hannibal has been coming with me to work on a daily basis to get him used to the idea of traveling, and I needed a place to put his harness.

On my straps there is a malachite pendant necklace attached to the charm loop at the bottom of the right side of the outer strap, and my keys are also usually attached here with a carabiner unless I'm going somewhere that I'd want my keys a little bit more secured. I just like malachite. It looks cool. It's the right shades of green, and it's fairly easy to get ahold of.

I also have my stethoscope looped here if it's not around my neck or on my desk at home. I have a neonate size littman stethoscope since I primarily work in companion animal medicine, and I find that it focuses a bit better on my patients who are less than 15 pounds. I do have a regular litmann as well, but that one stays at the office. Most of my after-hours calls are on cats and small geriatric dogs who have standing orders for as needed injections of certain medications whose owners are either unwilling or unable to administer those medications.

Then, the big thing on the straps today is Hannibal's harness. Little dude is 17 weeks, and a whopping 7 lbs already. I could gush about him literally all day, though. His harness was only on the bag while he was allowed to have free roam over the back of the reception area and wrestle with Chewbacca (my terrier).

Turnlock Pocket:

This is where I keep my human med kit for myself, plus treats for my pets, or snacks for myself. Image 8 is the corresponding image.

Human Med Kit:

Glucometer: I have struggled with Non-diabetic hypoglycemia, POTS, and hemiplegic migraines for about 7 years now due to a moderate traumatic brain injury in my teens. So I tend to take 2-5 glucose readings per day. The rubber gloves in my glucometer bag aren't for me to use on me so much as they are to be ready if I need to assist someone in a first aid setting or administer narcan to someone.

Excedrine Migraine: A tried and true beloved OTC medication, both my terrier, Chewbacca, and my malinois, Phobos, are trained for migraine alert and POTS electrolyte imbalance alert work, although Chewbacca is retired at this point. At the first migraine alert from my dogs, I take one tablet of Excedrine and then wait an hour. If the migraine continues to worsen, I then take the second half of the regular dose. This is what works for me, and you should talk to your doctor about treatment options if you have migraines. Currently, I'm down to only 2-4 migraines a month and only experiencing breakthrough hemiplegic migraine symptoms about once every 3 months with this routine.

Narcan: I carry it everywhere. I was never an opioid addict. However, after my TBI, I did struggle with perscription amphetamine addiction, and as a result of having been through that, and having gotten clean, I've become a really big proponent of harm reduction and narcan access programs. There's a few charities I'm involved with that give away narcan locally, and I'd be happy to put anyone interested in carrying narcan some national resources. I also live fairly close to Philadelphia and have unfortunately had to utilize narcan to assist strangers in bars in the past from tainted supplies.

Menstrual cup: I have PCOS, so my cycle isn't super regular and I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

Not Pictured: My supply of both instant iced coffee, instant electrolytes, and protein bars that I keep in my glove box, office desk, and at home. Both the caffiene (increases blood pressure) and the electrolytes (increases sodium and potassium) are important in managing my POTS symptoms. The protein bars are for when my glucose drops a bit too far.

Chicken Churu: This was Hannibal's treat for today, we worked on saying hello to strangers and walking nicely on a leash.

Tech:

Corresponding Photos: 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, & 9

Samsung Galaxybook Go: This is my laptop for work and personal use, it has an LTE data chip so I can use it on the go without sucking up my Hotspot data, and it's got fantastic battery life. I bought this refurbished off of Amazon at the beginning of the year. It also charges with a USB-C cable which is super convenient since the rest of my tech with the exception of my smart watch also utilizes USB-C charging so I can just pack a fast charge block and 2 USB-C cables rather than lug around 5 different chargers.

Samsung Galaxytab S6 Lite: It was on special at costco and has an S-Pen which is great as someone who's memory for reading/typing isn't nearly as effective as my memory for things I've written down. I mostly use this for notes on patients and my studies.

Samsung Galaxy23 Ultra: It has a stylus and is of a similar design, feel, and functionality to my Note9 I just replaced last fall.

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro: The active noise cancelling is fantastic for working in busy coffee shops on Mondays, and the Ambient sound is great for getting a Podcast in during charting or longer monitoring stints.

Samsung Galaxy Watch5: LTE enabled watch helps when I'm away from my phone during the day, it allows me to still get calls, texts, notifications, and keep track of active time and calories burned.

Charging Bundle: One 8" USB-C -> USB-C cord for charging my tablet, phone, or earbuds off of my laptop, one 4' USB-C -> USB-C cord to charge my laptop or other devices if my laptop is sufficently charged, a USB-A -> hard drive cord for my 1TB portable drive, and a USB-A Smart watch charging cord.

Data storage: 8GB flash drive that is mostly used for ultrasound capture transfers and X-Ray Diacom transfers, although occasionally it also gets used for in-house lab data transfers when the WiFi link is acting up. 1 TB portable hard drive, this contains textbook PDFs, a large music library, archived notes, and lesser used reference tables and software. It also has copies of my more important documents.

Vlogging/Content Creation Supplies: Light bar, microphone, mini tripod, comfort grip, and microphone stand. Basically just stuff to enhance recording quality for tiktoks, reels, and YouTube videos (coming soon).

Books & Stationery:

Pocket Edition Book of Common Prayer: No, I am not carrying a Bible around, I have an app for that. This is a Book of Common Prayer (1979 edition) for The Episcopal Church. While I'm laity, I do still try and take time for Morning Prayer/Matin, Noonday Prayer/Diurnum, Evening Prayer/Evensong, and End of Day Prayer/Compline. These are quiet moments for me to break away from the stressors of the day. I also utilize 2 additional devotionals for quiet time upon rising and before bed that supplement my regular journaling, however these stay on my bedside table with my primary journal.

Martha Stewart For Staples Discbound Junior Notebook, this is my planner, quick notebook, and lazy journal, I basically dump my brain out right here throughout the day.

Paper clips: From marking off the current month and week in my planner to organizing papers from drug reps, to getting a client printed copies of their records, there's lots of paperclip usage.

Correction tape: I don't often use pencils and sometimes my brain goes faster than my hand and mistakes happen.

Erasers and pencil leads: If I'm out and about I don't want to lose my ability to sketch and use pencils if they're needed

Pens: Pink, Red, and Black ink, my standard for personal notes is Pink ink, while business notes are done in black, the red is for corrections on both

Pencil: it's the same grip as my favorite pens that I can write for hours with, super beneficial for long study sessions.

S Note App: My longer rough notes and revised notes are done in SNote with a SPen/stylus and handwritten out. I also tend to keep spare nibs on hand, however I am currently out of spare nibs.

Sticky notes/flags: great for passing off notes to coworkers, flagging charts, or marking messages.

Snack Attack:

Travel Cutlery set with a fork, spoon, and knife so that I don't have to get utensils when I grab breakfast or lunch at Wawa or the local BBQ joint

Travel straw: Save the turtles while still enjoying my Starbucks

Bandana/neckerchief: No single use napkins here

Coozie: Perfect for NA Seltzers, Sodas, or a beer at the bar after work. Plus it holds all my other eating supplies.

Beauty/Hygiene:

Hand lotion: washing hands between every patient can leave my hands feeling pretty gnarly, so I always pack lotion

Perfume: Anal Glands happen, and sometimes you just... need to freshen up a bit.

Dry Shampoo: my hair always looks super greasy after taking my scrub cap off after surgeries, this buys me enough time to get through my shift

Hand sanitizer: ideal for housecall visits or visits to elder care facilities where you may not be able to properly wash your hands between patients.

Lip gloss: I'm not a huge fan of lip balms and the waxy feeling they leave on my lips vs the glide of a lipgloss or oil.

Sewing kit: Because if your shirt rips in vet med, it's probably going to be in a place you really don't want it to rip

Manicure kit: wrestling with animals can cause nail breakage and hang nails, and I'd rather not have to chew one off. It also has tweezers that come in handy for splinters or thorns picked up from animal coats.

Blotting sponge: again, I tend to start looking greasy after surgery because I sweat. And I'd rather be able to take care of it quickly and discreetly

Condoms: These don't need to be in my work bag, but they're in the tool kit along with my most basic essentials because the Toolkit is in every bag I use, including bags I use when I go out for girls night or linedancing. Also another have and not need vs need and not have item.

Hair tie, bobby pins, barette: just little extra bits and bobs as needed for hair issues, sometimes the dry shampoo isn't enough and the only solution is to throw my hair up into a slicked back ponytail instead of having it down.

Cooling wet wipe: again, surgical sweating

Other Essentials:

Wallet: Obvious Reasons

Nicotine Pouches: I've quit vaping but I haven't quite kicked the habit entirely yet

Unpictured: Glock 43. I uber and doordash after work, I also deliver controlled substances for patients in some not-so-great areas being ravaged by the opioid epidemic. I'm also a 5'5" disabled female who lives alone and has had a stalker. Sorry not sorry, it's insured, I'm licensed, and I take courses for it routinely.

If you have any questions, comments, or thoughts, feel free to DM me, comment here, comment in the tags, or reblog. Also, I'm aware this is Tumblr and that the Jesus stuff can be frightening to see, just want to make note that I do fall somewhere between a pluralist and a universalist. As long as you aren't using your religious views to oppress, marginalize, or harm people, we're good as far as I'm concerned.

[mercurialsmile]

I’ve really been wondering if I’m developing chronic pain… possibly fibromyalgia. I know I have sciatica, but my pain isn’t just in my lower back and tailbone but also in my hips and arms but only in certain spots.

I can’t lay perfectly lateral anymore when I sleep and if I do my shoulders will hurt. I can’t put my head down in my arms at a desk as, again, it hurts my shoulders.

My partner use to pick me up and it wouldn’t hurt me at all. Now when he does my hips will hurt and ache just because he’s putting a normal amount of pressure. It’s very strange.

I’ve thought about doing to the Dr about this but what will they do about it? They’ll tell me to just get some OTC meds or wanna give me opioids which isn’t what I want.

*a Wild Friend turns dramatically in your desk chair cradling a fluffy white cat (it's a plushy)*

Do you ever think about how Neji spent his whole life rebelling against fate and destiny to be able to carve his own path only for Kishimoto to kill him off doing exactly what his destiny was determined to be from birth and then retroactively make his whole life struggle meaningless by establishing that fate is actually a real thing in the world by having Naruto and Sasuke be literally the chosen ones destined to change the ninja world

*takes a sip of tea (it's apple juice)*

I think about this a lot cuz it feels like a real fart in my face, ya know

*takes another sip, the cup is somehow fuller than before (it's tears)*

Anyway, this is definitely not me trying to not immediately dive into OtC after bawling my eyes out over BtB nuh-uh, no way, no how...

Except it totally is and I'm losing that battle, goodbye

*the Wild Friend turns the chair again and disappears*

*a Wild Friend turns dramatically in your desk chair cradling a fluffy white cat (it's a plushy)*

I think about this a lot cuz it feels like a real fart in my face, ya know

Oh yes. I know. I bloody know.

I bloody remember it...

*considers the ceiling with false calm* You know when you laugh for a minute because you're so deep in the ass-end of feeling emotionally gaslit and cheated that you're processing the crap that's unfolding at the speed of a virus-molested XP Windows laptop...you know the one, right? You've got about ten alerts going off but you're stuck like a frozen monitor...your screen is blank...I mean, you can smell smoke coming outta your vents...but you're not catching on....because the BASTARD BACKDOOR MALWARE plot device you're reading (or watching) is like some dirty little Trojan Horse worming its way through your mother-bloody-board and your CPU is like WTF, cannot COMPUTE...and you're still not too alarmed because system's aren't yet fully shutting down...I mean...

Oh ho! What's this?! Neji just got impaled? Neji's on the brink of shuffling off his mortal coil!? What tosh! What Bollocks! Oh so he's leaking vital fluids...so what? That's happened before! No need for alarm. Nothing to see here, kids. It is but a scratch! A flesh wound! Just a waft of smelly red herring Kishimoto has thrown in there to distract you from the fact that there's no WAY that Neji's freedom-seeking character arc is about to go up in flames...because...

....wait..............

...........

WHHHHYYY?

Argh...*self-soothes, violently*...Way to kick-up the feels, Wild Friend...I probably deserve it...fair play to you, fair play...

Well...it is at this point that we have no other choice...

And I am still honoured and touched that you revisit BtB and it's following instalments (bloody hell, you read fast btw) to help with the hurt...or maybe to masochistically pick at the scab...but I get it...Damn, I GET IT. I mean, I swore up and down I'd never go POST WAR....and then Heaven Hold Us made a dirty little liar outta me.
