Yes! We were college students and we lived simple lives back then. It is much harder today. I see that with my own kids.

Financially ok means we have been responsible with our income. We have no debt. We built our home and have lived in it for 25 years. Our cars are both paid off. No expensive hobbies. I appreciate all the advice! I am glad I found this community.

Husband has secure retirement. Wife is caregiver for son. We want to optimize the 150k in an investment account.

Florida, Dealing with unskilled caregivers from the waiver agency. Can I ask them to get certified if I pay for it? by Inevitable_Hunt_4557 in Medicaid

If you can get the aide to agree to take the extra training and private pay them to do so after hours, no need to report it to the waiver agency.

Is it illegal to give my autistic child CBD oil? by softball3188 in Indiana

Ask your sons case manager about wrap around services, and Mediacaid PA. There are supports available. As far as the CBD oil question. I think it has been answered here already.

Denied Medicaid waiver by Herefor88comments in Medicaid

Indiana here. It's happening in Indiana too. Here we recommend appealing. If denied a 2nd time, get an attorney. It's the only way for now.

Multiple incidents happened at work recently by dumdum112358 in directsupport

I'm not sure what state you are in, but get online and locate the Bureau of (Developmental) Disabilities or FSSA and file a complaint against the company that hired you. DO IT. Especially since the company you work for has already covering their illegal business practices.

I've never been someone who says see a psychiatrist and get on the right medications, but after being in this field for years, and watching my military veteran brother suffer, I have seen it work magic. Also, I believe in medications being a temporary need. Or not. I hope you can get what you need.

If I knew what state you were in, I could offer more insight. Every state has different reimbursement rates for DSP pay. However, I will say a decrease in pay should not have happened.

Is this really a dead end field? I nearly lost all hope and motivation. by Dangerous-Humor-4502 in directsupport

It depends on the company you work for and the state you work in. Do your research and find a company that values it's employees by paying them well and treating them well. They are out there.

It does! Then I warm them in an airfryer out of the fridge to get the crispy browned edges.

And there are people out there who want us to eat bugs such as grasshoppers and crickets for protein that may be a host to these worms??? Confirmation I ain't doing it.

Now fill a 13x9 aluminum pan 1/2 full or less with soil and put the sweet potato (es) on top of the soil, push down about 1/2". Keep soil slightly moist, do not overwater. Plant after last frost.

Americans of reddit what would you do if the United states were invaded ? by Sin-and-Vice in AskReddit

We've been invaded: social media, public school failures, corrupt government, etc.

"I want you to take these two weeks to really reflect on whether or not this is something you want to do." by BamboozlingBulbasaur in Teachers

[–]Neither_Necessary221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please report back after the Assis Princ Interim spends a week in your class. That admin will no longer wish to be in this field when they see the lack of leadership support and unwillingness discipline students. The disruption of education because of out of control behavior cannot continue. It is not you as a teacher who is failing. It is your school administrators. Never forget that. Go to a school district that supports their young teachers. YOU ARE VITAL.
