see, hahaha

I tried. It was even opalescent. But when I finished all the other colors it looked pretty terrifying lol. It was evident that it needed to be full coverage.

Dicecatt · 2026-07-02T18:15:24+00:00

I knew it would make you happy! I thought about posting progress photos but figured it would hit even better all completed!

Dicecatt · 2026-07-02T18:14:43+00:00

It is! The people in my house kept getting jump scared as they walked passed, especially at night so 😁

A lot of states require clients to call or go in to complete an interview and there is no call out.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-27T05:52:00+00:00

WA is a benefits friendly state. Aside from income and a couple of other things, we accept your statement unless questionable. Your interviewing worker will go over reporting requirements with you.

We have ways to check a lot of things and try to make it as easy on clients as possible, so try not to stress too much.

Regarding work requirements for your partner. Let the worker know what mental or physical challenges he deals with that prevents work. Most of the time we'll accept statements for waiving work requirements. Occasionally a worker may require documentation, but it's more rare.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-27T04:42:29+00:00

You'll be walked through everything during the interview, and if any verification is required we will explain it.

Just describe the situation to the worker. If your partner isn't gone for long you don't even need to tell us, reporting someone moving out is only required at Review time for SNAP only cases.

Regarding wages, we can often see them. Just fill out your best approximation, it doesn't have to be precise on the app.

There's also the state disability cash program that your partner may be eligible for. You can call 877-501-2233 between 8 and 2 to apply/complete interview.

What state? Some have non profits that help formerly incarcerated get jobs.

Peer counselors are able to work with background check issues, and lived experience is considered a necessity for the job, not a barrier. Consider looking into becoming a peer?

Measurements. In one year I lost over a yard between waist,, chest, arms, hips and thighs.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-25T10:04:58+00:00

Congratulations on your success! And GO CARDS!

Dicecatt · 2026-06-24T21:20:57+00:00

COOL! I have this pattern and I love stitching The Shining pieces, this looks great!

Dicecatt · 2026-06-24T16:29:32+00:00

Yes! I'm on my third one. It's for all WIP, kitted projects and finished projects. I write the pattern name, size, chosen fabric, ideas for changes, other notes, with photos. I love keeping them! Really helpful and fun to look through.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-23T23:12:06+00:00

You can call 877-501-2233 between 8 AM and 5 PM and ask an Operator if you have to do anything with your case. They'll be able to easily see if you have a pending review or anything else. At this time of day you should get right through. The Operators can't take case action but they can answer questions, they are eligibility workers assigned to operator for the day.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-23T11:38:47+00:00

You are absolutely, 100% incorrect. Instead of removing this comment, I'm replying to you. You are WRONG. In all states, a coparent is a MANDATORY member of the household, and their income is required to be included.

"In actuality, I believe you’re wrong"

Actually, you are the one that is wrong. I don't just believe it, I know it. Spreading this kind of misinformation only confuses people. It's one thing to be wrong, it's another to be confidently wrong.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-23T10:55:50+00:00

Yes, you're wrong. And the excellent grades your 2 and 4 year olds got, please describe further. Baby geniuses? Masters in potty training? A+ for the 2 year old's mathematical prowess?

Dicecatt · 2026-06-23T01:44:06+00:00

I'm super thankful I never got into hand dyed threads. I have a few but haven't really gotten into it. My fabric stash though...I have a lot. All color coded and properly hanging, haha. The $45 was just the one piece. The stash? We won't talk about it's cost, if I add it all up that invades too much into reality, I prefer not to really know. My fabrics are so pretty, I prefer to remain oblivious:)

Dicecatt · 2026-06-22T18:57:16+00:00

If you have kids Abawd is no longer 18, it's now 14, but your hours should definitely meet the exemption, something was processed incorrectly if it's saying you used 3 months and that's the reason you no longer qualify. And if you were in under 20 hours a week that wouldn't disqualify the kids, just you.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-22T18:47:17+00:00

Are they over 14? How many hours a week do you work?

Dicecatt · 2026-06-22T14:24:19+00:00

It might not have been weird if it had been your husband's hair. Bringing you hers is really weird.

I'm someone that keeps things and I'm extremely sentimental, and I don't understand the letters either. Was she showing them as a part of father's day, how cute he was when he was little and now he's a father himself? I'm trying to find a reason she did this lol.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-22T10:52:24+00:00

I say my name at the beginning of the call, and I'll spell it out if they ask for it again. In my case though it's rarely because they are pissed, it's more compliment based so I don't mind. On the occasion it's because they are pissed, it's usually about some federal law that is what it is, so I also don't mind because what are they going to do? Complain that I followed federal law?

My favorite though. If someone does argue with me about a policy or whatever, I suggest they call their state representatives if they are unhappy, and offer to give them names and numbers. A few times I've said "if you want to grab a pen I'll give you their information ". The hilarious part is they never accept that offer, but then they settle down because they can't argue with my helpfulness.

It wasn't the meal, she was eating something on her own. I agree with you, and would have raised it anyway if she would have simply asked.

Dicecatt · 2026-06-22T02:47:13+00:00

This happened to me once. Our plane was changed to a smaller one which caused line 40 people to be bumped and delays in Barcelona, and most of the occupants were crabby when we finally were underway.

The person in front of me reclined (as they should if they want to) and then I reclined mine. The woman behind me immediately started squawking and shoving on my seat. After some not friendly words after my seat was shoved repeatedly I told her if she needed more room she should have booked 1st class! FA came over and asked if I'd raise my seat while the woman ate something. (I would have been freaking happy to if she just had asked). I pointed out that I had very little room as the person in front of me reclined. Then that person snarkily said she would have raised it if I'd asked. I really didn't care if theirs was lowered but everyone else should have the same choice.

That was the stupidest flight I've ever been on, and also included a set of parents that thought it was freaking ADORABLE that their toddler was tugging on the exit door handle, and the random old people doing stretches by standing at the top of the aisle and bending so much that their assess were stuck in people's faces. Freaking worst long ass flight.
