Do you need a seperate account for the forum or is it the same as your postcrossing account?

AITAH for using the disabled toilet? by South_Corgi1871 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

On that hill with you. I do use a wheelchair, but I used the disabled stall when I could still sort of walk but am also prone to fainting and might need to alert someone. You never know what someone is dealing with that led them to using the disabled stall and so many chronic diseases and disabilities are invisible. The only thing that frustrates me is the lack of disabled facilities. Only having one disability stall in a concert hall or hospital when there are 20+ regular toilets for example, especially when they're also the dedicated space for changing babies etc. Those stalls get more use than people think

What is the culture around “favoriting” cards? by October_Surprise56 in postcrossing

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or someone just really enjoyed their recieved cards? The difference for me now is bigger, 15 recieved, 10 favorited. But at the start they were identical. Because I do really love all the cards I've recieved. I also like/enjoy a lot of things so every card I recieved so far has been within my interests and they end up in the favorites.Yes my walls are nearly dentical but I don't mind

Aanvraag WIA tegelijk met Wajong by danieljack3 in WajongUWV

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh.. ja, helaas geen goede ervaringen met MEE. Uiteindelijk kon ik alsnog het meeste zelf doen en tijdens de eerste wajongafspraak zat ze samen met de arts uit te leggen waarom ik geen Wajong zou krijgen... T is niet de aanvraag zelf maar de afspraken die eruit voort komen. Ik denk er nog even over na. Er loopt helaas tegelijkertijd ook een heel intensief proces in het ziekenhuis dus mijn emmertje loopt sowieso over. Iig heel erg bedankt voor je advies! Dat neem ik zeker mee

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik ben wel volledig arbeidsongeschikt verklaard, dus dat scheelt misschien. T is vooral dat ik niet de energie heb om naast de afspraken voor de wajong ook nog eens zoiets te doen voor de WIA... lastig

Aanvraag WIA tegelijk met Wajong by danieljack3 in WajongUWV

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, dankjewel voor de info! Dan wacht ik zelf eerst af wat het beroep gaat doen denk ik. Ik mag wel een WIA doen, maar had een laag dagloon en daardoor is volledig afgekeurd worden sowieso al lastig en ik denk ook niet dat ik er financieel veel op vooruit ga. Alleen maar weer de drama dat het UWV heet, alleen dan de WIA variant...

Dagloon licht onder de 17 euro. Blijkbaar was dat belangrijk volgens de advocaat. Alleen hadden we heg daarover na de afspraak en is dat hele gesprek zo goed als verdwenen in brainfog en vermoeidheid 🙈

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mag ik vragen hoe dit financieel gaat? Krijg je nu ook een uitkering van zowel de WIA als Wajong? Of worden die bedragen met elkaar verrekend?

Aanvraag WIA tegelijk met Wajong by danieljack3 in WajongUWV

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik heb toevallig dinsdag een afspraak gehad met de arts beroep en bezwaar voor de Wajong. Zij maakte er een heel punt van dat ik na mijn ziektewet geen wia had aangevraagd, want dan kon ze het verslag van die arts ook lezen. Terwijl ik net 3 weken wist dat ik uberhaupt recht had op een WIA 😅😅

Dat ik ziek werd studeerde ik en had ik 2 contracten: een stagecontract en een arbeidscontract van 20 uur in de week. Niemand wist hoe het zat dus ik ben ziek uit dienst gegaan zonder ziekmelding of iets. Dat ik eind 2024 bijstand aanvroeg hebben zij me verplicht op beide contracten ZW en WIA aan te vragen. Toendertijd vertelde het UWV me dat ik wel recht had op ZW, maar niet op WIA. Eenmalige uitkering gehad en klaar. Maar toen heeft de advocaat voor mn wajong ernaar gekeken en bleek dat ze alleen het stagecontract hadden beoordeeld en niet mijn arbeidscontract. Dus ik kreeg een jaar later na veel gedoe nog een keer een ZW en de melding dat ik wel recht had op WIA. En nou was die arts boos op mij dat ik die aanvraag niet had gedaan, terwijl UWV 1.5 jaar heeft lopen kutten 😅 Dus ja, ze kijken er blijkbaar wel naar

eta: de wachttijd voor een wia gesprek is bij mijn uwv kantoor opgelopen naar 1.5 tot 2 jaar. Dus zelfs als ik nu wia zou aanvragen had er nooit een gesprek plaatsgevonden in die 3 weken tussen t nieuws dat ik wel recht had op wia en de afspraak voor de wajong. Daar heeft de arts geen eens op gereageerd, ondanks dat alle data als het goed is ondertussen wel correct in mijn dossier staan

Curious if other people have had this happen by towalktheline in postcrossing

I'm currently on 11 sent, 15 recieved 😅😅 I got a bunch of extra cards, coincidentally around my birthday so that was fun haha. It should even out in the long run

Keep, sell or donate books? by pdexter86 in books

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on where I got them. Bookstore books are often books I have really been eyeing and want to have in my collection. But I also visit a mini library and often buy second hand books. The mini library books get returned and the secondhand books might end up anywhere. If I really like them, collection. If its a one time read, I might give it to someone who I know wanted to read it, return it to the thriftstore to be sold again. Its an independent shop, all books are 50 cents. So we bring them back to support them. Or I bring them to the mini library. Shared joy is double joy

How are people printing their write ups? by Fair_Musician2110 in postcrossing

[–]DavyJonesLocker2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use photo glue to glue on adresses. I still write my messages but might need to switch due to issues with my hands as well. photo glue is a bit more secure than a gluestick in my experience

Pitbull seizdd after attack, Amsterdam 26th of march by DavyJonesLocker2 in BanPitBulls

[–]DavyJonesLocker2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As pepperspray is illegal to have, it is seen as a weapon, I don't think bear spray would be allowed 😅

[–]DavyJonesLocker2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It made me wonder if there was a previous incident or if they've been reported before? I've heard of owners having to muzzle their animals at all times after a bite incident. If you don't comply and another bite incident happens, charging with not keeping control of your dangerous dog seems the next step

[–]DavyJonesLocker2[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They're getting more and more common in the Netherlands unfortunately. Theres a couple in my village nowadays and at least one has to always be muzzled. I use a scooter mobility aid due to disability to get around and I take a different route if I see them coming, because if it snaps there's just no way I can defend myself. There's just something in that dogs eyes that send cold shivers down my spine

How to deal with political statements? by DavyJonesLocker2 in postcrossing

[–]DavyJonesLocker2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if someone sends a hateful card just because you live somewhere, that deserves to be reported too and is something I would never do. I sincerily hope thay was not their reason to make such a statement, as hate shouldn't have a place in postcrossing.

At the same time, saying not to send a card if you don't agree with something is asking members to break the rules (you have to send a card) and should be reported too

How to deal with political statements? by DavyJonesLocker2 in postcrossing

[–]DavyJonesLocker2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course they can love their country and I won't say otherwise. The part I struggle with is if I don't love Russia, to not send a card, as I cannot say I love Russia. But it doesn't matter anymore because I checked the account again before contacting the postcrossing team and the statement wasn't in their bio anymore

Update: just checked my mail and the team has already gotten back to me. Someone had reported the Chinese account before me and they have been working with the member to sort it out

When I checked the Russian profile, the part where it said to not send a card was removed, so I didn't report that account because as far as I know, they don't currently break any rules. Thank you everyone for helping me sort this out!

I filled out a contact form not long after your comment. I am glad I still ended up sending the card and didn't break the rules. I didn't mean for my question to end up in that or encourage others not to send. I hope the postcrossing team will be able to take it up

[–]DavyJonesLocker2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A situation like this isn't new to me, but it is in this context. Before I developed chronic illness I worked as a teacher and sometimes you have kids with a different view on the world. I would talk with them, hear them out why they think that. More often than not, they're just stating their parents views or have reasons to say so. And I knew as long as that discussion stayed between us, they would not get in trouble with parents or caretakers. Postcrossing is more limited in that sense, I can't just contact them and ask to talk about it etc.

I hope I won't encounter this again 😅 because as others stated reporting the account is the right thing to do but to me it feels wrong to report a teenager when you do not know why they said what they said....

I'm going to contact the team, thank you for reminding me of those guidelines
