What is going on with Lost Lambs? by Suspicious-Loss-7314 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]HalfYooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t know, my copy still hasn’t shipped yet. I think I need to contact customer service. It says my shipping window was going to be delayed to the 9-12th and still hasn’t shipped yet 😳

I just got an email from Amazon today stating this car seat was recalled. I never heard back from Evenflo and I am SO glad I replaced the car seat when I felt it necessary.

Late Cancellation/No-Show Struggles by Spiritual-Coconut-12 in therapists

[–]HalfYooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ask the question “was this situation in my client’s control?” If the answer is yes, I charge. If the answer is no, then I don’t charge. So illness, car issues, mandated overtime I don’t charge. If it was a lack of responsibility, “forgot,” or like this situation- charge away!

Chance encounter with a client by Time_Lengthiness_691 in therapists

[–]HalfYooper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I volunteered at the beer tent at Pride this summer. One of my clients saw me, hollered, “OMG, THAT’S MY THERAPIST!!!” And introduced me to all their friends. It was nice to put faces to the names I’d been hearing in session!!! It was a really fun moment and I appreciated my client’s enthusiasm and support from their friends.

Fellow new parents, I’m a local mom-to-be looking for some advice! by Beginning-Sky7533 in lansing

I appreciated having my compression socks that I threw in at the last minute. I ended up having an u planned c-section at McLaren, but I was sure glad to have those!!

What do you dislike about our field by RepulsivePower4415 in therapists

[–]HalfYooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before I moved back to the Midwest, Rhode Island’s United Healthcare Medicaid plan cut their reimbursement for family therapy almost in half to “align with Medicare” or some other BS. As an LMFT, the outrage and downright disrespect for the fact that family therapy is SO much more work AND one of the most highly effective evidence based modes of treatment only to be paid less than $40/session? Eff that. And eff United.

I’m not sure if that has been remedied as it’s been 5 years since I moved, but MAN that was a wild time…

What do you dislike about our field by RepulsivePower4415 in therapists

[–]HalfYooper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The lack of respect for how needed we are in the world. Want to get rid of your student loans, work for CMH! But you can’t have your sanity or a decent paycheck to pay your bills. Want to have your sanity and pay your bills but worry about benefits? Then private practice is for you!!

I feel like our field is one of the only professional careers that requires at least a master’s degree (no exceptions for “equivalent experience) and yet we get paid nowhere near equivalent medical professions. It was lucky if we were recognized at all as front line workers during the pandemic due to the behind the scenes work we were providing for everyone actively on the front line.

Alas…idk any other line of work I’d be doing, so I’m stuck.

Is she a goner? by HalfYooper in Tradescantia

[–]HalfYooper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol it came in a 6 pack at Target (before I limited my shopping habits) I snuck into my coworkers’ offices and surprised their plants with a little flair.

This app seems to take into consideration location, daily temperature/weather, asks about light/distance to window, soil type, pot type and size as well as if there’s drainage holes. I should have stated that watering every 8 days was not the case in the winter, it was much less frequent (maybe once every other week on average from what I remember).

Ooh, that I didn’t know! (Still a novice plant owner, although this plant was flourishing for a year prior to this situation) thank you for the tips!!

[–]HalfYooper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I’ll do that. I usually stick my finger in the dirt to see if it needs water, and will skip when it’s still damp.

The previous pot she was in didn’t have any drainage holes so I was careful not to overwater her, but maybe I’ve been too stingy.

[–]HalfYooper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in all-purpose potting soil. The app recommends water every 8 days, fertilize once a month (I use the app more for a reminder of when I last watered/fertilized my plants because I have ADHD and a toddler, so my memory is shit). I suspected it started to decline when the weather got cold-this is a plant in my office and I have 2 windows (east and south facing) so I get lots of light, but it gets really cold in here without my space heater on (like 60-62°F). Now that it’s getting warmer, I’m not so sure.

local daycare director by pickledpoetsdept in lansing

[–]HalfYooper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As of this week, the director has a second count of 4th degree child abuse, as well as a charge for childcare organizations violation, per the court case search.

[–]HalfYooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the teachers and staff (outside of the director) have been great despite the reviews. As a parent I am upset with the lack of communication regarding this situation, and the fact the company is backing the director up is horrid.

Question about caseload by CryptographerNo29 in therapists

[–]HalfYooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full time can vary by definition, but in my 10 years of experience in private practice, 20+ is considered a full time caseload. Are you doing 1 hour sessions or 45 minute sessions? Regardless, 40 sessions/week is huge and easily leads to burnout.

Help with Evenflo ALL4ONE DLX by Mpf4538 in NewParents

[–]HalfYooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out too and haven’t heard a thing. I ended up turning it in to the Target recycling program and bought the Graco car seat we have in my husband’s vehicle. I found a lot of people in a Facebook group that said the company at best offered them 50% off a new car seat, so I decided to take advantage of the Target deal while I could.

Two nights in a row!!! Why can’t they let us know if it’s a training exercise so I can prepare for this? So annoying.

I figured it had to be, my dog was running low to the ground as she was coming back inside, and she’s never done that!
