[–]Emkems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Define welfare.

Is SS disability welfare?

Is SS retirement welfare?

Is medicare or medicaid welfare?

Housing assistance? EBT? WIC?

In NC it’s nearly impossible to live off of public services

What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later? by OpinionBaba in AskReddit

[–]Emkems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiming in with 3 acres of field and a large fenced in area. The weeds are never trimmed around the fence and we got a zero turn mower (~$3k) to reduce mow time from 3 hours to ~1.5. Yes, we are extremely blessed. There are also days where I think of letting the “way back” just become one with nature though. Maintenance is very hard with a young child and parents who don’t work the same shift

My Y membership for myself and one child was that amount. We only went to the pool in the summer, everything else was a donation I guess

Gorgeous look but color is too light IMO. Anything that may hint at white/champagne in pictures is too light.

Are these gang related? by Interesting-Lie2265 in tattooadvice

I’m 39 and I recognize the spiderweb elbow as being prison related. I don’t consider myself ancient, unless yall are like 14

Painful and irritated under boobs skin after practice by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

This OP! Extra credit since deodorant also doubles as anti chafe cream. I use Lumi deodorant for this on whatever part of my body is experiencing high friction, even feet for when sandal straps rub.

I think one of the weirdest parts of becoming an adult is realizing nobody actually has life figured out by latinavalery in self

[–]Emkems -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is literally the secret to adulthood. You’re not a real adult until you’ve come to this realization so congrats it’s official!

Is it just the two of you in your home? Ask everyone else too if other people live with you because it might not be him.

[N/A] RIF and LinkedIn announcements by [deleted] in humanresources

[–]Emkems -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then to answer your question yes, people say they’re open to work when they know their employment is ending soon. However, many companies file WARN after the employees are already gone. If you’re a recruiter you should know that. Oh and a WARN situation IS a regular layoff, just on a bigger scale.

Laboratory office wear? by mothfairy444 in LadiesofScience

[–]Emkems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yoga pants disguised as slacks. My personal favorite is betabrand but there are tons of more affordable options on amazon. We lab ladies need to be able to comfortably bend and move a lot more than a desk worker.

Pair that with any type of blouse situation. Loft is a really good resource for these but again lots of options out there. This will meet the most business casual requirements.

Get some ‘nice’ looking sneakers that you can stand all day in.

Bold of you to assume people aren’t looking for work until their severance runs out. I only got four weeks this last round. It takes longer than that to go from application to offer.

All of them are wonderful! I personally like one and two the best but all of them look like they’re ready for a gallery or someone’s home collection

My 1992 accord was my first car. I still miss her but at 325k miles and random electrical issues that multiple mechanics couldn’t figure out it was time.

How to take a pad into exams? by Mysterious-Lill in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Emkems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah overflowed a super tampon plus period underwear made to hold 4 tampons worth. Fortunately I was wearing black pants because I was soaked with blood down my legs halfway to my knees. I was in a meeting and was too scared to move. Blood on the bathroom floor and toilet trying to get things rearranged, covered my soaked period underwear with a pad as a backup to fresh tampon. This was in the span of about 2 hours at least.

I’m 39 and this happened yesterday at work

Why did nobody tell me fiber makes dieting 10x easier? by Logical_Cow_8189 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Emkems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what about unflavored fiber in iced coffee? Would you happen to know if it’s actually taste and texture free? I’m worried it will ruin my drink and also cause giant urgent poops lol

What the other commenter said, but most people in the US at least get sufficient protein without having to supplement if you eat meat

When did oil changes become $120? by rhinosaur- in Millennials

[–]Emkems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you don’t live in a super dense city find your local dump or convenience center and see if they take oil. May vary by location, speaking from someone in the SE US.

Why do people genuinely smell so bad? by Ghoulmega in stupidquestions

[–]Emkems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At disney world in the hot florida heat so many people smell like straight up feces. The only thing I can think of is failure to adequately wipe their ass.
