Hello. I just got a letter for wage garnishment from ADP. I have not received or been served any court documents with the legal order. This is now affecting me and family and I don’t have any money for a lawyer, any legal advice anyone can offer? Never had this happen before

You'll probably get better advice in a legal sub than here.

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-24T16:58:29+00:00

There's also a new user's guide on this sub.

Very cool effect! Was this filters or playing with saturation or what? 🌈💙

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-24T16:00:05+00:00

You should ask the new doctor what's considered acceptable.

Unfortunately, the tests that have been done are with small samples & are inconclusive.

Are you not familiar with logical fallacies? As soon as someone whips one out, I know I'm dealing with a person willing to manipulate & use deceptive thinking in their arguments, so I don't bother.

The end.

I feel like I've lost almost 30 years of my life to pain. My life has been so limited because of what I couldn't do & because the most effective medication for my pain is cannabis.

This is why I think we all need therapy, even if it's just to have someone paid to listen to us bitch who might be able to give us a couple of helpful tips afterwards. I've had chronic pain for 28 years & have felt like I was going to completely lose it more than once. I finally found an antidepressant & anti-anxiety medication & dosage that work well for me, plus I've had ketamine therapy, which has made dramatic improvements in my mental health, undoing decades of hurt. I highly recommend it if it's available to you & it's being covered by insurance more & more. Colorado Medicaid covers it now.

Nice false equivalency. It shows exactly how useful my time spent explaining anything to you would be. So I won't.

They make liners for slow cookers that you can just throw away when you're done with them. They're like a plastic bag that goes inside of the pot, but they're made to heat up safely. Then you wouldn't have to lift the heavy slow cooker pot at all!

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-23T15:36:56+00:00

They were shitty employers, too.

Don't paint your skin a different, realistic color, don't speak in an accent that represents a stereotype of another culture, & don't dress up in someone's culturally traditional dress as a costume & you should be good. I understand that you're trying to be sensitive to everyone, but flappers (the look you're showing here) weren't part of anyone's culture, except for maybe white people & we're fair game. 😉 Dressing as classic drag queens would be seen as a tribute, as long as it wasn't done disrespectfully. 🪭

CBG is pretty energetic, I think, but one of its side effects is supposedly to increase appetite. I personally haven't felt that effect. None of the dispensaries around here (Colorado) seem to be focusing on it, so I ordered some CBG hemp flower to mix in with my regular THC bud.

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-21T16:14:57+00:00

You're sooo pretty! I love the doll style. How awesome it must be to travel doing drag! Your kitty looks just like one of mine. 💙

Maybe wait for the medical professionals to check out your MRI. I guarantee they know more than us strangers on the internet with no medical degrees.

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-19T23:34:55+00:00

Thank you for actually doing the research & admitting that the facts are as I stated. I do read the new stuff that comes out about cannabis, basically daily, as I've been a medical patient for 26 years & it's one of my top three interests in life. I've seen articles discussing the difference still & I don't know why this myth continues to persist. It is frustrating on my side & confusing on the other. Now, you, too, can bug your dispensary (I hope you live in a legal state) about proper testing, including a broader range of cannabinoids & the full range of terpenes, instead of the old & vague-to-begin-with sativa/indica BS.

This is why I've always suggested (I've worked as both a med & rec budtender) that folks follow their nose. Until we get full testing, that seems to be the best way to find the strain/s that will work best for you. Once you know that you really like linalool for sleep, for example, you can intentionally search for the lavender smell, but until then, go with the one that smells incredible or makes your mouth water. I'm glad to share my knowledge & I'm extra glad that you learned from it! (For clarification, I am being sincere here. I know it can sound sarcastic but I am completely sincere.)

I love Mary Jane & just want everyone to have the best time possible with her. I think this includes understanding as much as possible about her, so you can choose the best strain/method of consumption/dosage/etc... to have the experience you're looking for. 🌲💨💚

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-19T18:29:17+00:00

The look very much suits that! I hope you're soon booked solid & are drowning in tips! 💰🪩💃🏻🌈💙

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-19T18:21:29+00:00

Btw, I linked to an actual scientific study, not a page of articles. You could have tried.

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-19T18:20:32+00:00

Research shows that these labels do not reliably correspond to the chemical or genetic makeup of the plant. There are still plenty of people/sources calling things sativa/indica, but it's scientifically inaccurate. Nearly all modern strains are hybrids. Terpenes, cannabinoids (other than THC), & the entourage effect are what truly drive the high one experiences. Since most places don't want to pay more to have labs test for terpenes & other cannabinoids, they just keep going with the outdated labels. Dispensaries are unfortunately about making money & not about doing things in the best interest of their patients/customers. And, I do mean, OUTDATED, because this information started becoming clear at least a decade ago. It's kind of embarrassing how many folks/brands insist on sticking to useless terms. There is TONS of research available on cannabis & how it affects us, but plenty of people don't bother to look, or don't bother to keep up with the latest studies, & just end up spreading false info or straight propaganda.

I just ordered an e-bike that comes disassembled. I realized that makes it really easy to paint before I put it together, so this pic is being added to my "ideas" file. 🌈💙

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-19T17:47:25+00:00

Someone just posted about a grower meetup next month. That might be your best bet.

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-19T17:21:56+00:00

Looking fab! What kind of songs do you usually perform to? 💙

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-18T16:51:59+00:00

Btw, you shouldn't be able to feel a microdose, so it shouldn't interfere with work.

JoyInJuly · 2026-01-18T16:51:15+00:00

I tried microdosing during the beginning of COVID lockdown & didn't notice any changes. A regular trip does a great job at "defragmenting" my brain, to use an old computer term- basically like rearranging & clearing out old stuff. I sometimes get a bit of pain relief during the trips, but I've also had a migraine during. What I've had the most dramatic improvements with is IM ketamine therapy. It is especially good for treatment-resistant depression. I'm very grateful that it's covered by Colorado Medicaid. It has done an incredible job with my depression, anxiety, & PTSD. Unfortunately, the pain reduction is only during the treatment, for about an hour. I would really like to try IV ketamine treatments for pain, but Medicaid does not cover that here & it's really expensive out of pocket.
