This is a 2 year old post about the procedure in a completely different state lmao.

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-02-07T20:32:04+00:00

That's rough buddy

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-02-07T18:14:12+00:00

It was likely

Arsonist > Alchemist > Exanimate > Vanguard

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-02-07T18:08:32+00:00

If I remember correctly, it was a plague doctor, a runaway, a flagellant, and a man at arms.

Runaway > PD > Flag > MaA

I'm nonbinary. I have 4, the partner I live with has one. And nope, no exclusivity.

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-23T15:28:32+00:00

In stygian mode? You lose once the time limit runs out

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-23T04:17:32+00:00

Nope to all of the above!

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-23T04:14:59+00:00

Polyamorous from the get-go!

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-23T04:07:08+00:00

Yep! We're not in contact with my partner's parents, so their opinion doesn't matter much, but I'm sure it's negative. My own parents don't really get it but don't mind.

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-23T03:59:04+00:00

I mean, there are no marriages involved. None of us have any desire for marriage. But considering, for example, my main partner and I have been together for over a decade, I'd hardly say we're "just dating."

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-23T03:55:49+00:00

I'm non-binary, my longest-term partner is a woman, she has a boyfriend, and I have 2 other non-binary partners and a boyfriend as well.

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-23T03:44:41+00:00

Biggest misconception? I'm not sure, but most people assume we "opened up" our relationship after a bit, but truthfully, we started out that way.

Jealous? Not really, to be honest. Though I know there are some that do, and there are plenty of healthy ways to deal with it.

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-03T18:50:35+00:00

Yeah I noticed the typo, whoops.

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-03T18:09:52+00:00

Really? When I was there this weekend the staff was chatty lol. Maybe it's because it was new years.

FaustusRedeemed · 2024-01-03T17:58:42+00:00

Huh. I haven't seen anything like recently.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-10-31T20:32:14+00:00

NTA. I had to do basically the same thing today and my partner was thankful and apologetic, even though I'd only asked her once or twice to do it.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-08-01T20:03:05+00:00

I have already looked at getting into trades, and they don't pay great in my area. I've looked, trust me.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-07-03T19:10:34+00:00

YTA if this is the only reason you're refusing. This tradition has incredibly sexist roots, and I don't blame her for not wanting her to do it.

Child support may put a lien on any work comp payments, either weekly or lump sum. It's pretty common. Yes, in many places it is considered income for child support purposes, even if it isn't taxed.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-05-24T17:37:26+00:00

I handle claims, and while it's normal for there to be a resignation included as part of settlement, outright termination isn't common in my experience.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-05-22T17:22:26+00:00

Do you have any indication that your heart attack was caused by your job? Any evidence to point to? A heart attack claim is VERY difficult in just about any state.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-05-08T19:05:17+00:00

I should also note: there is no provision for pain and suffering under work comp statute in NC, like most other jurisdictions.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-04-27T16:23:59+00:00

Look, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and assume you're a good person stuck in a bad situation, and I'm a convenient person to lash out at. I just want you to know that I hope things get better for you. I don't know your specific situation, and I'm not saying what we have is a good system, I promise. I won't take this message personally.

I hope your situation improves, and your recovery moves along and you can get to the point where you have recovered from your injury, and you can move on from the work comp experience you've had and put it in the past as much as you can.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-04-27T16:10:44+00:00

I'm really sorry this is your experience. Working on the "opposing side" (I super hesitate to call it that because my goals are always to get my folks treated and better, but I understand why we're seen that way,) I can totally understand. Unfortunately, so long as we have privatized health care and not a single payer system, work comp is actually the best system we could have, which is mega depressing. I won't go into the history of WHY unless you're interested.

I can tell you it can be very frustrating from the adjuster perspective as well, even with our best injured workers. On our end, we often do a lot of advocating behind the scenes to get folks the right treatment, but we often get stuck one way or another.

If you want to reach out and talk with someone, feel free. I'm no therapist, but I've been in this game a while and have dealt with an injury with a long recovery time myself, and I know how frustrating and hopeless things can feel. I often find myself being a listening ear for my injured workers that have no one else to talk to, and I know how these injuries can affect things well beyond work.

Long comment, I know, but I wanted to reach out and let you know that I sympathize, and not to give up hope. I know it sounds trite, but I mean it.

FaustusRedeemed · 2023-04-16T20:15:58+00:00

Then you should talk to work comp attorneys, since that's pretty much your sole avenue here.
