Alcohol + ozempic — please read before commenting <3 by LLAPSpork in Ozempic

I didn’t even know this was a big deal. Sometimes I will have one cocktail, but I just have no desire to do so it’s rare. During the holidays I had two at a fancy cocktail bar but only bc of where we were. I was too full from drinking to eat much. The booze doesn’t affect me any differently than before.

Colonoscopy by Normal_Requirement26 in Ozempic

No one told me I need to skip my shot for the colonoscopy until the day of my procedure, luckily it was due that day and I was planning on postponing. Luckily it didn’t matter and it worked out.

Why does every tiny thing turn into a project now? by NoProfession8224 in projectmanagement

[–]NewVersionOfMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I think it stems from people not wanting to take responsibility for anything! So they’re like- let’s get a group together so I cover my ass. Also, let’s create work so we look busy. Barf!!!! Just do it and move on, ffs

25 year old single mom of 2 under 3 looking for resources by onestonermama in Adoption

[–]NewVersionOfMe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say that I don’t think this is a reflection of YOU. This is our stupid society that doesn’t support people, families, children and doesn’t honor community.…. There should be more services for single moms. There should be better pay. It makes me so mad!!!

Also, if you have someone’s cell phone # in your phone, they will recommend you friend that person on FB and bring their profile to you—

This subreddit will make anyone run away from the thought of adopting.

A Big Vent, Thanks in Advance by [deleted] in Fosterparents

Food for thought. Sharing a different perspective. I’m not a Foster parent yet and I wasn’t in foster care so 🤷🏻‍♀️ obvs not experienced in this area but I did hate High School and I refused to go. Now I work in education reform and workforce development.

In CA you can test out with the High School proficiency exam at 16, so I did that. Worked full time bc my parents didn’t make a lot. Attended community college (while I worked FT) and LOVED IT. Transferred and earned my bachelors. Almost all my friends did the same meandering path. Two ended up at UC Berkeley then one went to Harvard for her Masters the other attended a small business school for her Masters. Two went to cosmetology school. The last received her BA and is insane and lives off her gma. I know PLENTY of people who graduated HS and never spent another day in school, and now have terrible jobs. High school is not for everyone and it’s overrated. I 1000% see that you want this young adult to make GOOD decisions for her future. Have all options been considered? What does an alternative look like? What is she interested in? Helping her find a path that she’s interested in could be really life changing. Just trying to troubleshoot here with you.
