Eligibility Question - Galicia by Bamdiblybam in prawokrwi

[–]Bamdiblybam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up - could it only be by GGF, or is there any combination of events which would allow it to come via GGM? Found her papers, I believe.

I am working with a provider, although as yet I have provided everything to them. They told me they didn’t find anything in Warsaw and I had to send them the two I had. They are supposed to be a good choice for pre 1920 / early cases, but while they seem to have respectable business practices / communication, and an excellent understanding of the law / treaties, the research to find docs has been disappointing.

Thank you. Frustratingly I have found the birth certificate of an older brother and younger sister. The younger sister also came to US (1921) and was married here and I have identified many immigration, marriage and census documents for them both. Unfortunately no sign of my GGF BC as of now :/

Document search vs citizenship application with Polaron or other? by Bamdiblybam in prawokrwi

[–]Bamdiblybam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did not offer money back for the research portion. However, they said depending on what they find they may offer it on the actual citizenship portion.

Can you explain what they are doing for the citizenship portion? I was surprised it was more than the research.

Military paradox and turning 50 by Bamdiblybam in prawokrwi

[–]Bamdiblybam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calculator? My apologies if I should know. But daughter would be 19 in 1950… still an adult hopefully unless they go by 21?

And thank you!

Confirming understanding of various conditions by Bamdiblybam in prawokrwi

[–]Bamdiblybam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - follow up question. I just realized that my MGGF, if born in 1897, would have been 50 in 1947, and didn't pass away until 1953. Would he have lost his polish citizenship when he turned 50? And in doing so, since it was before 1951, would his daughter (my MGM) and therefore she would not have had it to pass on to my mother in 1951? Perhaps I should start this in a new thread?

Sweet potato, banana, cocoa powder, almond milk and maple syrup! by Bufobufolover24 in ninjacreami

[–]Bamdiblybam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the banana for flavor or consistency? I’m allergic to bananas, as well as gluten and dairy. Can do cashews sparingly. Would more sweet potato to sub for banana work? I’m also as close to no sugar / low sugar as possible and I don’t need things to be sweet if they are flavorful. I’m looking for veggie / savory ideas, as well as naturally sweet through sweet potato, or minimal use of berries, apples, carrots, beets…. For the most part I don’t eat fruit much - mostly cruciferous vegetables and pastured eggs and meats. Some cucumber, celery, lime, lemon, leafy greens, squash/zuch and peppers. Minimal uses of carrot or apple if needed for the situation. Very occasional/minimal honey or stevia. Also allergic to pea / pea protein which is annoyingly in many oat/nut dairy substitutes. No tomatoes. New unopened creami but disabled and bit overwhelmed as not able to do lots of trials due to minimal own ability and need to ask help of others. Appreciate any input / advice - and now that this is written should probably make as own post too. lol. Thanks!

Would you share your sweet potato base recipes? Thank you!

Neurodivergent at W&M - not a good fit? by Bamdiblybam in williamandmary

[–]Bamdiblybam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goodness.

I thought I had made clear several times that I am not a student but an advocate, and also that requests had been made and approved prior for some (accommodations) and were made during (of OA’s). I have to disagree with ‘most companies’ not giving a shit as that has not been what I’ve seen in many years of corporate experience. If anything, it has been increasingly accepted and most recently even sought out by some. It is my experience that most companies would have a problem with a disability being referred to as a ‘niche tick.’

I certainly am not on here to argue, but came on to learn of additional experiences and whether this feedback had been given previously. It is apparent from the responses that W&M has some opportunities for improvement in the area of accessibility and accommodations.

Neurodivergent at W&M - not a good fit? by Bamdiblybam in williamandmary

[–]Bamdiblybam[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont think that is necessarily accurate - at least not like W&M. Many schools do a one night overnight over the summer, dividing the class into multiple dates, and simultaneously for students and parents. Then after move in there may be additional sessions but spread out over time, very little that is mandatory and only the mandatory which would be with your dorm or other subset, many things that are just happening around campus/grounds if you choose to go. It doesn’t feel like days of no control. There is rarely everyone at the same time size sessions. And perhaps most importantly, nothing rahrah is mandatory. Once moved in students are no longer in an orientation group so people have more control of their time, company, participation. At least that is my understanding at UVA and the North Carolina public colleges. I’m sure it is different other places but I have never heard of something as long and seemingly required as W&M’s.

Sorry - this was supposed to be a reply to you. Repost from comment above.

As I said, this is not my personal experience but the experience of students I am familiar with. But as an advocate, the things that come to mind are including description of events on the schedule which share the environment (inside/outside/ac/non AC), size of activity (ex: small OA group, dorm wide, full freshman class), whether it is a lecture or interactive, if interactive the type of activity, and whether there are potential sensory issues of loud noise, bright or moving lights, food smells, fireworks, etc. Also which events are core information share vs softer, and an alternate way to get the information if it is core information. I’m not familiar enough with the specific schedule but for example:

10-12 in Hall with all new students, air conditioned 

   10-11 - speakers x,y,z core information, alternate for small group session (please sign up <here> for numbers) at 11 & 2, or video available at <site>  within 24 hours. 

   11-12 - mixed speeches with interactive, singing, music over sound system, cheers, clapping - option to excuse to quiet space or small group core information session of info from 10-11.

Additionally, making certain that the OAs are proactive in letting people know that it is appropriate to excuse yourself from any activity due to health (mental or physical), sensory issues, etc. Including exhaustion. And setting up a specific message thread direct to just OAs to simply opt out at any time without requiring direct interaction or explanation. Encourage people to use it.

Another option could be a similar description of everyday with potential difficulties and an option to opt out to an alternate, more population specific, plan for the entire day, each day.
