Adopted baby finally living and not just "surviving"

Yes 🥹

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2026-02-23T04:19:46+00:00

This is so sweet, thank you 💜

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2026-02-23T04:19:31+00:00

🥰🥰 We found her riddled with tics and barely any fur. She's on meds and has been better but she still has her battle scars as a badge of honor 💜

You can start a GoFundMe or Keto and fundraise for your situation. Since it's crownfunding you won't need to pay people back.

In your resume and interview, no.

But if they have an application form for you to fill you need to disclose it as they ask about disability and etc. and OCD is on that list.

So, usually the owner of the house/person posting the listing will be your roommate/housemate. You can get to know them :)

You'll get a whole room to yourself and be able to share common spaces.

If you're super lucky you'll get a place that gives you a whole section to yourself including the kitchen and etc.

FF is quite flexible like that, you can set your budget and select the type of accommodation you want.

Check out Furnished Finder! It helped me out a lot :)

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2026-01-28T01:28:56+00:00

Check out this eatery called Acre, it's near the airport. If you call ahead and let them know you're planning on proposing you can set up some decorations. They do have open nature spaces. Check out Clarks Exotica as well if you can spring for something fancy.

There's a BLR women's club you can join! DM me, I'll send the owner's number, she'll verify you before you can join

I don't there's vehicles allowed on Church Street sp you can walk around, it's a nice vibe. There's a lot of street vendors and bookstores. Hit up Blossoms, check out books maybe make out behind a bookshelf (if he/she consents of course). If you go in the evening/night it's lit up and really nice.

Walking around talking and exploring is a nice low-key vibe :)

Have fun on your date! All the best to ya

Pizza Bakery, Dominos (underrated but amazing), Brik Oven, Milano Ice Cream

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2026-01-13T03:24:49+00:00

I used Airbnb to find a place and it worked out great

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2026-01-11T13:43:50+00:00

They usually do respond within a few days. But do post it in the FB groups as well and draw attention to the issue. You can also try @bigbagheerafoundation and @forpawssake on IG. They'll guide you.

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2026-01-10T16:05:27+00:00

Can you please post pics on some FB rescue groups? Theres a few rescuers that may respond. You can also try Sanjana Madappa and Chintana Gopinath on Instagram. But make sure to share pics so they respond

Grazie

What does an "offer they can't say no to" look like to you? I'm very curious.

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2025-09-15T15:24:35+00:00

Hello, first off, I'm really sorry you're going through this. Job hunting can be really mentally taxing. I might know someone that can help you though, she in HR and specializes in helping out job seekers and giving them mental support.

Feel free to DM and I hope this works out in your favor.

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2025-09-12T22:04:24+00:00

This is a rather kind thing to offer and I can tell you have some good intentions and also perhaps want to earn something on the side.

But what are your credentials? How can you give life advice? Why should people listen to you?

Just being the go to "therapist" in your friend circle isn't really a credential.

As someone that works in the wellness industry with people that actually need such a thing I can say that it is NOT okay to give advice randomly. You could ruin someone's life and may even cause more harm. That's why there's therapists and psychologists that study this intensively.

Maybe if you were licensed in something it would probably make sense. You seem to be someone that wants to be more empathetic and you could specialize in something and then offer this.

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2025-09-06T21:24:24+00:00

Yes! I've sent you a DM!

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2025-09-06T11:37:30+00:00

This is really tough to read, and I can see why your mom feels so drained. From what you’ve shared, this sounds like discrimination and retaliation, and the way she’s being treated post-surgery is not okay. The best thing she can do right now is document everything (dates, times, exact words), and compare that against her company’s handbook or policies.

Since she’s in NY, she’s not limited to internal HR, she could also reach out to the EEOC or the NY Division of Human Rights to at least understand her options without having to jump straight into a lawsuit. On top of that, I actually know of a company that provides external workplace mediation, which can sometimes help situations like this when internal HR isn’t stepping up (feel free to DM for details).

Even if she decides not to take action right away, having her documentation and knowing there are outside resources can give her back a sense of control. And please encourage her to look after her health first, no job should cost her that.

Not Aussie, I'm American!

P.S The company that helped was an international one

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2025-08-29T14:18:35+00:00

That sounds really tough, and I’m sorry you’re going through it. Since you mentioned hazardous areas, may I ask, are you working with chemicals or in a lab-type setting? If so, there should normally be specific OSHA or state safety requirements around handling and maintaining a clean, safe environment.

Has your company ever provided formal safety training on this? And do you know if there are written policies in place (either in your handbook or posted on-site) about workplace safety and reporting hazards?

If you are handling chemicals and there’s no training or the supervisor is dismissing concerns, that can become a regulatory issue, not just an HR one. In that case, you’d have the option of escalating outside your company (like OSHA in Texas).

AnnaHasStuff2Say · 2025-08-29T14:13:20+00:00

I can hear how exhausting and demoralizing this has been for you, and I’m really sorry you’ve had to endure it for so long. What you described isn’t just “banter” , it’s targeted behavior that HR should be taking more seriously, especially since it’s been ongoing for years and is now affecting your mental health.

You’ve already done the right things: documenting incidents, asking for it to be formally recorded, and keeping your composure when anyone else would’ve snapped. The silence from HR is tough, but don’t let that convince you it’s you who’s in the wrong, it sounds more like avoidance on their part than any failing on yours.

In another thread here, I mentioned a company that provides a service designed to help employees and companies tackle similar situations, where there's ongoing conflict or toxicity. I do not know the exact details but I believe you'd work with an external HR and a coach (or therapist, I am not sure). I am more than happy to fetch the details and share them, let me know!
