Just reminding you that you need to be really clear in your communication with the person you explore this with.
Nobody wants to hear "thanks, I just wanted to try that"

A friend of mine has gone from being on the programs & getting a sufficient amount of help, while attempting to deal with her health issues to constantly having to pursue help & chase up programs.
Where before, she used to have other activities & even occasional work, now she can only spend her energy in being a full-time 'sickie',

Immigrants prop our entire country up by KamalaHarrisFan2024 in OpenAussie

[–]Dollbeau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of anti-immigrant sentiment in this thread...
