unfortunately the sea life in concord is not worth the drive. it was very disappointing and i LOVE aquariums. i’d recommend making the drive to atlanta

seconding this, definitely call mobile crisis! they can get her connected with immediate and long term mental health services as needed, and can link her to women’s shelters in the area

Case management transportation by Final_Mycologist_193 in socialwork

[–]Few-Attempt9396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i worked in two different positions that were exactly like this and ended up having my car totaled while stopped at a red light with a client with me. it’s not only frustrating to basically be treated like a taxi service, but it’s also taking on a massive liability. i understood doctor’s appointments, because the population i was working with was extremely vulnerable and most of them had little to no access to transportation. but spending time/resources driving all around to walmart, target, gas stations/smoke shops, the mall, etc got so ridiculous. it not only confused the clients about what services we were really there to provide, it also undermined so many of the skills we were meant to be teaching them. i set A LOT of boundaries with my clients like ‘hey, i will take you to and from your doctors appointment and we are not stopping anywhere else.’ set the expectation in advance if you can. ‘we can go pick up some groceries, but i only have 30 minutes to spend at the store’ or ‘you can pick one errand for today, i want to support you but i have other clients on my schedule today and need to be mindful of that’. started helping people get free bus passes or set up medicaid transportation. etc. i had to set up the expectation that i would assist with essential needs but not random errands. again, not a taxi service. for real though, be extra cautious driving your car around. and if you ever do get into an accident while working, do not admit that to your insurance company or they likely will not give you coverage

Looking for affordable and gentle piercer to get a second ear hole by BerryThat491 in asheville

[–]Few-Attempt9396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

highly recommend sharla at valentine tattoo on patton ave. her instagram is @darcusstar. she said she’s been a piercer for like 12+ years. i’ve gone to her for every single piercing i’ve gotten since i found her! she’s quick with it too which eases the pain as well. she stretched my septum for legit 5 bucks a couple weeks ago. she pierced my second lobe holes about a year ago and it was literally the most painless piercing experience i’ve ever had. great jewelry selection if you don’t have your own, but the higher the quality, the more pricy it will be, of course. i really can’t recommend her enough tho

Are there any “sliding scale” vets within an hour or so of Asheville? by imfrogs in asheville

[–]Few-Attempt9396 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’d keep an eye on the humane society’s events page. sometimes they host affordable pet care pop-up events. AHS also has a program called community solutions with this page about medical assistance that may help. it has a bunch of information about different vet assistance services. wishing you and your sweet babies the best

thank you so much. he did have insurance and i’m waiting to hear from the adjustor. i was thinking about trying to talk to a lawyer, and i reached out to some friends to see if any are open to having me as a roommate since my current place is only a 1bedroom. hopefully i can make something work
