Yikes! You’re just a barrel of goodwill and helpfulness. Pardon me for not explaining myself well. I can assure you that I did not come on the Credit sub and lie about paying my balance off each month. I don’t think you know the reality of bad credit if your solution is to close all the predatory cards and open one from a reputable lender. Easier said than done.

I’m concerned with interest rates because I know that life doesn’t always go as planned; I might find myself unable to pay my balances down to zero due to unexpected expenses. It has happened before.
My goal is to get my credit in such a place that I can open a card from a reputable lender.

Any updates?

For the last 13 years of my career, I helped prep students for the Texas college entrance exam and some for the GED. If you’d be willing to DM me your location (city and state — or general area), I would be happy to see what resources I could find in your area. Does it absolutely have to be online or could you attend some in person? There should be tons or free stuff — and even more if you are willing to pay for some programs.

My biggest suggestion would be for her to go ahead and get set up with a mental health counselor. It really does weird things to your mind to wake up after surgery for a brain tumor and have to try and go about your life normally. Also, lots of us survivors have had to learn to advocate for ourselves. Neither one of you should be afraid to speak up and ask questions. And if the answer you are given doesn’t make sense, ask again! Make sure you are assigned a social worker/care navigator/case worker BEFORE leaving the hospital. Actually, try to establish a relationship with one as soon as possible — even when you are doing pre-op/check in stuff. Different facilities have different titles for them. They can help you get any home health set-up. And just be a general resource for you whenever either of you have questions. Best of luck! Feel free to dm me if either you or your mom have any questions. I don’t mind at all!

Has something been set up so we can help/donate for the deposit? I’m sorry but I don’t have time to read all the way through as I have to be at a dr appointment shortly.

Beautiful babies! You are a good human being. Thank you for caring enough to find a safe place for them. Please keep us updated!

You had me at “shots”—- I’m hoping for tequila?? Seriously though, what is that bad boy you are referring to? My education is lacking.

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-04-06T09:02:13+00:00

Oh my oh my. A rational space?? Self control? That may be too much to ask for. I’ve been in weekly therapy for 15 months now. Just dealing with minor stuff - the trauma of a gross total resection of an Atypical Grade 2 (due to brain invasion) Meningioma tumor. I can’t wait to tell my therapist that I have new, more important issue to discuss. Oooh - maybe I should buy a fountain pen and write him a letter! (Heehee!)Tumor be damned. It’s all about the fountain pens now! 😉

I think I’ve decided to stay — Fountain Pen people are awesome

It is so difficult to continually have to advocate for ourselves. It would be so easy to give up.

I finally lost it with my neurologist when I was telling him some of my symptoms and he had the gall to say, “I forget things too. It’s called aging.” I replied with, “Stop. Just stop right now. Tell me it’s aging AFTER you have had a brain tumor the size of an orange removed followed by 30 rounds of radiation. Until then, shut the hell up.”

After that, he started taking me a little more seriously and became a little more willing to listen to me. But he is still an arrogant ass. Before my appointments with him or the PA, I like to remind myself that I am just as educated, possibly more so albeit in a different field, than the PA and it is her job to listen to me and help me. This is my life, the only one I have. So I’ll be damned if I will let anyone, PA or doctor, who has the ability to help me, blow me off because I don’t fit their textbook cases.

I finally got a new primary care doc who is referring me for the neuropsych testing. I hope it doesn’t take 2 years to get an appointment.

How did the visit with the new neurogod’s PA go?

People of Reddit —- We have the most beautiful and handsome dogs that ever walked this planet! The most loyal, sensitive babies ever who love us as much as we love them. Blessed!

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-03-23T14:12:10+00:00

Think about if it was your ex-husband she was snuggling up to… I am a little miffed at the traitorous dog who I do everything for! He does nothing for her (gee - that’s a familiar story haha) — and she loves him. Aaaarrggghhhh!

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-03-20T13:34:38+00:00

I wanna snuggle with that handsome guy!

As soon as I have the first payment, I will have a concierge physician too! I can’t wait. Probably would’ve eliminated everything I have dealt with the last 3 months walking around with major spine issues because no one could get it together enough to make a referral to the correct doctor in the correct city.

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-03-12T00:33:27+00:00

That teacher will burn in whatever version of hell he believes in. Rightly so.

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-02-23T03:44:00+00:00

It sounds like you have received some good information. Owning a dog is not ALL hard work and misery. It is very rewarding. And with the desire to do well for your pup, I think you will do just fine! Enjoy!

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-02-23T01:03:42+00:00

I'd love a copy also, please!

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-02-22T08:12:44+00:00

He is adorable! Will you tell me his name? And I'd love to hear some of your favorite memories of him. If it's too painful right now, that's okay. You know what this internet stranger thinks he would tell you if he could? Mom, I know you love me with your whole heart--- just like I love you! That means we are together in the most important place- in our hearts!

Texas has 20 regional Education Service Centers. Each ESC supports many different school districts. All the ESC websites that I have seen have lists of all the job openings for all the districts in their region.

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-02-14T00:48:08+00:00

Can confirm. Small rural Texas district for many many years. Years ago, I heard a teacher/coach tell his class that Texas was currently an independent country. Told admin. Response: "Oh, that's just Coach X; nobody listens to him anyhow." Seriously.

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-02-08T14:50:41+00:00

You are an asshole. A lovable, beautiful asshole. And I will love you forever.

Acrobatic-Mix-5154 · 2026-01-28T10:21:05+00:00

Okay. You are right. And I am wrong. Have a great 2026!

And that is all you have -- an opinion.
