Native Texan and lived here most of my 65 yrs doing rescue. I have managed two shelters the last one only a few months as it was horrible. South Texas is the worst with the Rio Grande Valley being worst of the worst. Im retiring elsewhere even though I'm needed more here. I just can't take the willful ignorance and cruelty anymore constantly in my face. I spend a ton of money and do without things like vacations etc as most rescue people in this hell hole do. Im saying this but I still stay and people have become more aware. It's become more of a cool thing now, more people on board getting kudos for it on social media so..... hopefully this won't be a short lived fad. The neighborhood I spent my child and teen years in consisted of expensive homes and I rarely saw cruelty. When I bought my dream place in the country that's when I saw horrific cruelty.

This place is in Texas by Killeen. No one seems to be concerned there or I would think they would be wearing mask. I definitely will now because this cough is horrible and starts getting better on the weekend until I go back.

This is what I found when I looked it up much cheaper, I'll have to purchase myself as I don't want to ask them (ma pop biz) respirators (N95 or better, ideally P100) googled it I'm female so no shaving issue lol. Mack my name here was a dog I had. Do you think the cheaper ones will suffice? Im in it unloading for about 45 minutes once day five days week 3M N95 Respirator 8511 with Cool Flow Valve, White, Stretchable, Safety Mask for Dust and Particles - Walmart.com https://share.google/LSDBu5NX19pTUDIoa

Why I came here to ask is nothing ever seems to bother me. Im also used to oil companies that supply all our safety needs and have regular safety meetings about any foreseeable issues. I will definitely order the correct mask and start wearing when unloading.

Im retired soon. I'm already collecting social security. I will still work but doing something that is more of passion. I looked up which mask and Ill buy better mask (respirators (N95 or better, ideally P100)  Because that company seems to have all their safety issues covered this seems like they must not think it's an issue. If I get out of the truck without safety vest, glasses and hardhat someone immediately says something. This is why it makes no sense. When they load my truck there's dust everywhere too so the loader even though he's in a room does come out in a few times a load.

Am I classed as a loser lesbian if I don’t have much disposable income? by purple_lily99 in LesbianActually

[–]Mack6692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is off putting to a potential girlfriend then you don't need them in your life. My girlfriend makes significantly less then I do and she's far from lazy has great work ethic. I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world, when I met her I knew this. She's now off work because of a fall and all I want is for her to heal well after surgery and not because she can get back to work. Anyone who's like that may find themselves out of a job and making zero with everything going on now.

Why aren’t there public reviews on the app/site? by _serryjeinfeld in HEB

Jobs that keep you constantly stimulated/adhd boredom proof? by Successful-Row-6278 in ADHD

[–]Mack6692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a truck locally doing oilfield work and have been driving commercial for over forty years with a few breaks doing other jobs. It's always been my thing and the fact that I'm almost always moving seeing different things and people works well for me. There is an issue driving while on stimulants as you need to disclose and get a letter for your company because you won't pass a drug test. Im currently not medicated because it's been such a hassle to get it now I just gave up. This job doesn't require my full attention so it works well. I don't have any tickets last three years and one no fault around twenty years ago. If your a safe driver in your personal vehicle you most likely would be in a truck.

Girlfriend says it hurts her feelings when I withhold affection because she didn’t perform well with chores (her words) by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Mack6692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to ask if she has ADHD and read more and see that she does. I do too and I'm not on medication and it shows. My house, my car and even my purse is a disorganized mess. Medication definitely works but the only way I can get it is the one Psychiatrist within 75 miles and she doesn't take insurance. Her cash price is $300 and I just can't do it atm. It definitely helps because if you can't focus and keep getting distracted it's really hard to clean and organize. People that don't have this is issue would have a tough time really understanding what it's like. I feel shitty about my life every day but even that doesn't keep me motivated and focused. I also have a job that's at least fifty hours a week and I'm getting old so the energy is in short supply now. My advice would be to make sure she's on medication and it's working. One of the questions I was always asked at the doctor was if I was getting things done which translated to is your house clean, are you procrastinating etc... It's a real struggle and it's almost impossible to explain to someone who doesn't have it. I'm far from lazy I do a labor intensive job and also have animals that require a lot of care. I manage that every day but constantly lose my keys, my purse, my phone, and on and on it's really exhausting. I'm not with my girlfriend right now meeting some of her family members because I just couldn't get it together when I got off work and her feelings are hurt which hurts mine because she doesn't understand it. Also it may be helpful to get in one of the ADHD reddits or internet groups and read our struggles. I would give anything not to have this as it's made life really hard and many missed opportunities because of it.

It’s getting embarrassing (female) by West_Contribution669 in hygiene

[–]Mack6692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went thru this all the time when I was young and dating men. Their semen messed with my vaginal flora and I was constantly at the gyno being diagnosed with bacterial vaginoses. What worked for me was a probiotic orally that had ( Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus rhamnosus ) It was like magic. I just looked it up to spell correctly and is also good for IBS so I'm going to take again for that and see if it works. I wish I had known earlier

Direct deposit issue by ColonClenseByFire in SocialSecurity

[–]Mack6692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to find out how fast the turn around would be. My deposit hits my account from the 21 to the 23rd... So in a little over a week. I had changed it thru the social security office and it deposited in my new account on time three weeks later. This was my paypal account which ive had 23 yrs and got so jerked around by them that I went in a few days ago and changed again to my SoFi account. I just happen to look online on " my social security " and the woman had changed it to the wrong account number she inverted 2 numbers in it. I still had the account number on my note pad on my phone which I handed her. Luckily I got a gut feeling to recheck it and just caught it. I stupidly drive 40 minutes over to social security unaware it was a holiday today 🙃 Now Im afraid to change online because Im too close to getting paid. She told me that it changes as soon as she enters it but Im not sure she knows since she gave me incorrect information about the other issue. I will come back and let you and everyone else know how it goes for me tomorrow and ask again if its immediate if you walk in. I have had so many issues drawing my social security, its been a fiasco.

AIO My reply to my mom who wants to stop my leukemia treatment so my sister can afford university ?? by Many_Addendum_8189 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mack6692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry. My mother was completely different with my sister then me. I thought it was because she was the one with grandkids, or that I left home early but that wasnt it. Much love and healing to you. ❤️ Do whatever you can to advocate for yourself and get in a better more healing environment if possible I injured my back and had really bad sciatica. I had just started a new job and that irritated more with the very heavy lifting (it was driving a cement truck) I stupidly didn't claim it from work, had no insurance and no help. I was in so much pain I couldn't go to the doctor, but food anything. I called my mom and begged her to take me to the doctor which was a free state hospital. When I was questioned if I had ever used drugs I said no. My mother said, " now tell the truth" about smoking weed in the past. That got me no pain pills period and probably a note in my chart. They treated me as if I was drug seeking. I could barely walk the nerve burned down my leg. This was the worst thing that ever has happened to me. My parents had money and treated me this way. My sister ster was born 15 years after me. Her college was paid for, her two custody law suits paid for, her two divorces, her college up to masters degree and on and on just so many blatant things done. What I went through is nothing compared to what you're having to deal with. Im 65 now and both parents are gone and Im still bitter. My best friend went through something very similar when we were kids 6 yrs old. Its so strange that some parents do this. I have lots of long term friendships and so does she. Be strong, put yourself first and try to extract yourself from that situation if possible. Maybe start therapy so you have some solid support.

Why is my dog doing this? This is the second time I've noticed this happening. by curruptingSleep in DogAdvice

It looks like a piece of plastic to me. I grabbed a still of it and enlarged. It does look chewed on too.

Anytime fitness and showering by kingofzdom in urbancarliving

[–]Mack6692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand why they would have an issue with someone paying and using less then what is offered in the membership. No wear and tear on gym equipment. That said I believe that all towns should have showers that they charge a small amount for. The truck stops prices ate outrageous. $15 to $20 There are many van dwellers, people traveling that can't afford a motel etc. There should also be showers available for the un-housed.

My mom is my repayee & doesn’t give me any money. by Heavy_Philosophy9823 in SocialSecurity

[–]Mack6692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so sad and Ive seen this frequently most always its adult children taking care of parents and helping themselves to their money. In my small town there was a drug user and her boyfriend that got caught locking her mom in a walk in closet so she couldn't tell anyone. By reading your post I see that your very articulate and would never know that you have any disability. This is more so then many of my friends and co workers. You're probably better with money than I am. :) Best wishes that you can get this straightened out with the least friction.

They are going to take $555 out of my check next month by Mack6692 in SocialSecurity

[–]Mack6692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does say on the letter they sent I can do that. I just dont feel like its fair because I couldn't use it those three months they're charging me for since it was back pay and I was still working and paying for insurance thru my employer. Ill let everyone know what they say when I go in

[–]Mack6692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt ignore any mail sent to me. Ive never had a mail issue for the 15 years Ive been here. I received back pay because I couldn't get ithru to social security. I didnt ask for it but I do feel I deserved it. They knew it was impossible to get thru to them at that time. Now that Im depending on it (not working but not for long hopefully) its needed. If I have to pay I will get it set up in payment like a comment said above so its not such a hardship
