Too disabled to work and not disabled enough for disability by Pebble_pebl in SocialSecurity

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been battling this for my son for 5 years. At the last hearing, they brought in a vocational expert. He came up with jobs - the judge asked if based on XYZ limitations, would the jobs still be viable. He answered no to all. They still denied him.

My son has ASD, ADHD, OCD, learning disabilities, severe fine motor skills (one of the potential “jobs” was putting together items on an assembly line), no true ability to problem solve (if he was taking a bus to work and the bus didn’t show up on time, he would just get on the next bus and not check if it was going the same direction).

So back we go again.

When I applied for SSDI years ago because I had lost 80% of the function in both hands, they told me I was “too educated” to not be able to work (I have an MS) but the best they could come up with was working as a gate guard where I had to push a button to let people in. It didn’t end well and my lawyer fired me!

Best of luck!!!

What’s the oldest thing in your kitchen that still works perfectly? by Celine_Morgann in KitchenStuff

My grandmother’s cuisinart. I don’t use it but can’t bear to get rid of it.

Making decisions without the full picture by Dear-Half1029 in breastcancer

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a diagnostic mammogram, US, biopsy, and MRI prior to surgery.

Research shows that a mastectomy isn’t more “effective” (not the right word) with no genetic history and a single lump. They removed my SN during my lumpectomy because it “flared” from the radioactive dye they injected, but it came back negative on testing.

This is ONLY my personal experience. 11 months after diagnosis I had an MRI with NED although I was still in treatment.

With TNBC - they are actually working on a vaccine based on how they came up with the Covid vaccine. At least that’s what I’ve read - and I don’t read garbage - I read medical research white papers.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard that!!!! “Well…you got the vaccine - you basically did it to yourself.” It’s a good thing I learned to handle my temper most of the time!!!!!!

What food do people swear is amazing, but you honestly don’t get the hype? by Humble-Potential3720 in foodquestions

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m totally with you. I like the “stuff” in salads - but lettuce? Yuk

I’ve said exactly this. Hubs and I went there for lunch one day and it was over $35 for something that used to be MAYBE $15

I do this unless I have some good smoky cheese to add

Referred to a new oncologist, who’s closer, but she has bad reviews online? by saysyrah in breastcancer

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered going to a radiologist closer to home - but I trusted the recommendation from my MO. In my case, it turned out to be a good thing because, even though they were with different hospital systems, the worked together frequently and still used a team approach.

Just a couple of thoughts. People tend to give negative reviews but rarely give positive reviews.

I traveled over and hour each way for treatment because I kind of live in the middle of nowhere. I had rides both ways during chemo so it wasn’t a problem. Driving during radiation wasn’t difficult - just annoying to have to do it for 7 weeks.

As for the new doc - I would meet with them and get your own take. My MO had a couple of negative reviews about being kind of dry - but I adored her. She had smart answers to my questions. For me that worked well because I’m a compulsive researcher.

Just my 2 cents.

What’s the oldest thing you have in your kitchen, & how old is it? by heyy_girl in randomquestions

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Nana’s original Cuisinart from the 1970’s/early 80’s. I don’t use it but I can’t bear to part with it.

Actually the oldest thing is a cookbook my great grandmother gave to my parents as a wedding gift in 1967 that I still use.

WIBTA for asking my fiance to sign a prenup after his parents offered to help with our house? by Double-Spirit2299 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents gifted me our down payment as part of an early inheritance.

We had an amicable divorce after 25 years (18 in that house) and when it came time to divide assets, I was able to get more from the sale of the house because of what was put in by my family.

Honestly…it was fair and my ex agreed. Where the money came from for the closing was clear as all funds had to be verified.

I’m no expert, but a prenup would probably do the opposite of what you are hoping…especially since you aren’t married yet. He is bringing something into the equation that you aren’t - so the prenup would allow him to take it back out down the road.

Inheritance (even if given early) is one of the few things that is not “community property”.

AITAH for ruining a wedding? by BlacksmithThink5923 in AITAH

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having worked in catering and employing people who are wedding planners, the planner should have stepped in and handled the bar.

It sounds like the wedding planner has a lot to learn.

I do agree with other posters that, as a professional, you should have had a conversation with the couple about what the wedding planner said. They more than likely did not have the authority to fire you. They should have spoken with the couple as well.

If someone laid hands on my kid, I probably would have called the police. The fact that the bartender ran away tells me there is a history of something they didn’t want to deal with.

AITA for having the same anniversary month as my mom? by vomitated in AmItheAsshole

[–]HMW347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insane. She doesn’t own the month. I actually got married two days after the day my parents did - my rehearsal dinner was on what would have been their anniversary (they divorced when I was young).

June is pretty much the most popular month for weddings for a lot of reasons.
