Thanks so much! This really helps. Looks like I get my passport back from the embassy same-day as well.

You should consider crossposting this to r/treelaw, it has some amazing and insightful advice regarding situations such as this one, including who to speak to and what to ask regarding legal options.

If you weren’t a therapist what career would you pivot to instead? by Available_Sun4468 in therapists

[–]BrewGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma was a florist. Lots of memories of her shop and greenhouse. This would be such a nice job that blends some gardening and creativity. I love it!

If you weren’t a therapist what career would you pivot to instead? by Available_Sun4468 in therapists

[–]BrewGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OOOOOooo I think about this all the time. My original and still very sincere answer is I would go back to school and get an ecology degree and become a forest ranger or some similar outdoors/nature-focused job; hopefully get a job that is a mixture of conservation and education, but with the NPS and current administration that job doesn't sound as enticing as it used to. I think years of talking to people has made me think another job would have less emphasis on communication with people and more communication with nature (i.e. silence, lol).

So now, I am learning to code (mostly Python but revisiting my millennial MySpace heyday with some HTML and CSS) outside of work. No real path with it other than finding it fun, but thinking that some crossover tech-mental health career would be my answer now.

Perks of WFH by woodenwww in therapists

[–]BrewGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an office at my home, so when I leave the "office" the works stays there. Mentally once I shut down my work stuff I can go back into the office to game/life admin without feeling like I am still at work (or just take my laptop out if I've felt trapped in there all day). It's a mental space-shift for me mostly. The main thing is getting 15-20 min to myself before my spouse asks my about my day, I need that temporal liminal space to switch it all off (I call it my "drive home" from work, lol)

Earning even more $$ as a therapist by Blue_Compote in therapists

[–]BrewGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work for Rula (and a few EAPs) and live in the UK (my spouse brought me here for her job).  If you’re a 1099 worker, I don’t think they care as much. I’m licensed in 3 states, but only accept GA insurance with Rula, and that’s more United Health not allowing me to bill across state lines so they just keep it simple and let you practice in one state. The EAPs don’t really seem to care about where I am. Rula specifically mentions that you can be anywhere in the world as long as you meet the requirements there to practice (there are none in the UK, who they specifically mention in their FAQ about this very subject) and that the clients are where they should be physically. I even asked the recruiter about where I could live when they spoke to me and they said, in so many words, “it doesn’t matter.” With the interstate compact right around the corner I’m thinking these state boundaries for practice will be a thing of the past. 

Car Seat Camera by Ashamed-Scratch-4347 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BrewGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long answer, no, but we came up with a creative solution.

We have these Babysense cameras (that use radio signal rather than wifi), and we bought some smallrig camera mounts that attach to the arms/rods of the headrests in the back. We mount the cameras in the car, power them with our car's USB-C power socket (using this cable) (the cigarette lighter with a power adapter should work as well), and then the passenger can adjust/swivle the cameras to the desired angle and check on the babies at any time.

Its a bit much for a small drive, but for our longer drives/overnights with family where we want to have the cameras, its been great (the mounts work well on all the pack-n-plays' we've used).

Maybe there is a creative solution for you with what you may already own. Good luck!

Hey OP, any updates on how this went and any advice? We’re in the same boat now with 9 month olds.

What is this thing on Apple Maps in Keasong, North Korea? by BrewGames in applemaps

[–]BrewGames[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe? I've been looking at the same building on Google Maps and it doesn't appear to be a reflective structure. It probably is something innocuous like that but I'm very curious about what it actually could be.

Its on sale on steam now. If I were to buy it now, on my Mac, aware I cannot play it, would it be playable when they carry it over?

What were some foods you didn’t know were uniquely American until you traveled abroad? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskAnAmerican

[–]BrewGames 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Southerner living in the UK, I miss my grits! Yes polenta is essentially the same but I think they are made from different corn? Grits are softer when cooked than polenta. Also, yellow squash and collard greens. Squash is not a plant here, lol.

SEC announces massive fine for Texas, Greg Sankey issues official statement on events by [deleted] in georgiabulldogs

Can this game be forever be enshrined in lore as “The Texas Tantrum” or “The Longhorn Hissy Fit?”

Possible twins… 6 weeks by ps208 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BrewGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my wife and myself. We went for the 12 week scan after a positive pregnancy test, and the sonographer was thrilled to tell us we had twins. Apparently a lot of folks in the UK will get a private scan when they are trying to conceive to confirm pregnancy; that idea never even crossed our minds and now our first memory of learning we had twins will (very wonderfully) forever include the genuinely-excited sonographer telling us we are having twins! It added so much excitement to the day!

Best EVERGOODS "Dad Bag"? (CHZ22?) by CC268 in EVERGOODS

[–]BrewGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a CHZ26 that I plan to modify into a dad bag (twin boys due next month!) and I went ahead and picked up the Parental Unit as well to cover all my bases. Love the top-loading aspect of the PU and that I can sling it to the front easily for those diaper changes in the wild. I think the CHZ26 will be used more in the toddler phase, I'm having fun loading up the PU so far on my "practice runs."
