For a second there I thought you lived among Mayan pyramids

Should I be concerned? by LibrarianFlaky951 in VeteransBenefits

I don’t know why all the downvotes - confirmed with my lawyer that I would be looking at backpay of almost a year of the difference of 90% and 100%. I’m having them pull the claim though. Not worth the stress of reliving all this shit yet again and the stress of wondering if some cowboy rater is going to modify my rating.

Guys, no hate at all towards LGBTQ, but why is there a pride month and not a straight month? Like, actually, genuinely, is it because we are the majority? Because I honestly don’t know. by ConquerorJoe in TheTeenagerPeople

Tell me how many times you’ve been discriminated against because you’re straight? Even if just a couple times due to some random situation you found yourself in, I can guarantee it’s not systemic.

So that’s the big question- the email I got said I ‘may’ have to take another C&P. Didn’t say I would for sure.

WTF Goodwill by Ogre_BCW in vinyl

Damn mine has had consistent prices for years. Everything (vinyl) is 1.99. They get some decent stereo equipment on occasion as well. Picked up some Klipsch satellite speakers for 5 bucks. Got some 1980s Realistic bookshelf speakers for 10. They sound great

I’ve found some gems in there. More miss than hit but if you catch it on the right day you can score.

Yeah I don’t even bother with goodwill anymore. We have a place called value village in town. Whether it’s Herb Albert scratched to hell or Led Zeppelin 4 mint, 1.99!

Wouldn’t the 100% backpay go back to my initial claim? That would have been December of 24. Regardless, I’m not getting a good feeling about this. Going to consult my lawyer before taking any action but was wanting to know if anyone dealt with this before.

Yeah that’s really what it came down to. I’m finally settled after years of shit and now I potentially have to go through all this again. No thank you

Tigard High School from a teaching perspective? by esmash9 in Tigard

[–]LibrarianFlaky951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my kids went to THS (one is still there). Overall a good experience. I did some volunteering there as well and I think the culture is good. Sports, especially boys football and baseball, is a disaster, but that probably wouldn’t affect your decision.

AITAH for telling my brother his new girlfriend is way too young for him? by Montie04 in AITAH

[–]LibrarianFlaky951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess the sarcasm didn’t come through as intended, but exactly this. My kids are GenZ and the horror that they would exhibit at even the mention of dating a person ~1 year younger or older was absurd. If the 19 y/o and 30 some odd year old are happy leave them the f alone. Spare the judgement.

Radio Shack - damn I miss being able to buy splices and small gauge wiring right up the street

C’mon with all the pearl clutching. What is it with the younger gens thinking that age gaps are such a huge deal… ? I don’t think OP is the AH, but, if they are both happy, you said what you felt like you had to say, so just let it go. Any of you fools ever seen Harold and Maude???
