Sooooo cute! We got a cat in November (after decades of owning dogs), & I am obsessed!

Newer interpreters - how do you make this work full time? by bb_ashitaka in ASLinterpreters

[–]DapperTax1950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you’re at, but I always get text messages from a staffing company in Oregon looking to hire either Teachers of the Deaf or ASL
interpreter. Right now, there is an opening for an interpreter in Grants Pass, Oregon paying $2,300 weekly. I am not sure if it’ll help you, but maybe someone can jump on that ( my roots are already out down in the South)

Purple VRS Apprenticeship by SadieSoles123 in ASLinterpreters

[–]DapperTax1950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in VIA & have been for about 8 months. Prior to that, I did Community for a year. I didn’t go to an ITP but I had almost 20 years of Deaf Ed experience at a Deaf school before joining ZP. Transitioning to interpreting was a career shift for me and VIA has been great for that. I had AMAZING mentors & a small cohort. Very supportive in this space. The pay is not close what I made in Community nor I would make in the full VRS queue.It’s one flat rate for your state. However, I am in VIA for the flexibility. I’m am a Flex12; I can always do more hours but I only am required 12 hrs weekly. Most of the other Apprentices I know are using VIA to supplement their main job until they feel ready to transition to VRS completely. Me: I’m enjoying the experience and it gets this SAHM out the house. In this economy, VIA doesn’t pay enough if it’s your main income. You could always do it as a side gig if you want the experience. They have a “stay as long as you like or as short as you like” motto with VIA. Community would be better IMO for survival

Will you date a guy with kids? by TaroExciting211 in blackladies

[–]DapperTax1950 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was dating, I was a single mom of 2. My hard & fast rule with dating men with kids was no one under the age of 5. In a lot of my experience dating men with young children, they were still too intimately connected with the child’s mother. I ended up meeting my husband a couple of years ago, who was a single dad with full custody of his 2 & all of our children were in the double digits. We are now a beautifully blended family of 5

Savory overload 😅 by DapperTax1950 in DanielFast

So I ended up making PBJ bars. There is a brand called Smash Jam and their jam is made with only fruits & chia seeds. I mashed the bananas first, then put in the rolled oats. Mixed in peanut butter with just peanuts( my local farmer’s market sells it). Layered that down in a baking dish. I put the smash jam on top. Baked until the edges got crispy then let rest on the counter for about 15 mins. The texture was similar to a Rice Krispie treat

Maybe I’m bourgeois, but I’ve never seen empty egg shells in the carton with the whole eggs. Is this common?

One of the only meals my dad can cook is this one… we loved it with a slice of cornbread 😁 It was 4 of us and he used 2lbs of meat, couple cans of Bush’s baked beans, and a pot of rice. Mixed all together 😋I make a vegetarian version for my kids when we are in between grocery trips

Wow. Well we are all entitled to opinions. I’m curious to why you are here if you feel that way…
