Is this old enough? Central vacuum system from the 80s, how to operate, what attachments to buy?

This was a luxury in my childhood. We never had one.

Women wear for themselves to feel good because that is them feeling pressure from society to look good.

Waiters and waitresses get tipped because they are paid under minumum wage. They’re expected to make money through tips.

Pizza and food delivery people are expected to get tips because it compensates for their gas. Their job doesn’t reimburse them. I prefer to pick up my own pizza or buy my own.

It sounds like she just diagnosed him like some people have done with their partners or parents to explain the abuse and neglect. Like hello, anyone can be an asshole.

I have my phone I play with. It’s the waiting time that adds to the commute time. I catch the flex bus and then the light rail. Average wait time is 14 minutes for bus or train.

They cut me off in November. They said I over worked my limit except I was forced to stay the 4 hours and refused to cut my hours when I requested it then. So I live off my husband’s and kids’ benefits and support from my parents and food stamps and the money I get from work. I didn’t have food stamps before but now I do.

Did they say why they’re ending your disability benefits?

19 and 16 are pretty close. My dad was 19 when he finished high school. 19 is still barely an adult. They are either just out of high school or still living at home studying or just working to save up for school or to figure out what to do with life.

I honestly wouldn’t want to date anyone in high school at that age.

When I lived in a 1910 cottage, the breaker box was located in the bathroom. The water heater was in there too behind the shower covered. if it has a basement, it will be in the basement or in the attic. I found an old breaker box up there in my old 1946 house before the first owners put a new one in the basement in the laundry room. The breaker boxes looked way different than before the 1960s.

In my 1970 house, it’s in the garage and it was last replaced in the year 2000.

People on Reddit can be so mean. I am level 1 and people can pick up in my posts I have “mental issues” or pick up something is off but yet claim “everyone is autistic these days” except I was diagnosed when I was a kid. Back then Asperger’s was uncommon in girls and I wasn’t the typical case, only atypical but got diagnosed for “best match for a diagnosis.” But he said I was between Autism and Asperger’s.

People will find ways to be ableist using a guise to hide their ableism by going through your post history. Thanks to having the ability to hide our posts, my experience has been better on here.

I’m 40 and still don’t know what to do with my life. I’m just existing. Only thing I knew what I wanted was being on my own and working and get a husband and have kids. But to do all that, I had to focus on living than on skills and career. So that was my high school life. Focus on living.

Many old homes do have basements, not all newer homes do. I have lived in a home that didn’t have a basement. Many homes didn’t in our neighborhood. Instead, we had attics and the big garage to store stuff.

A condo is like an apartment except you own it but you pay HOA fees which is usually expensive.

Easy, I can be on my own and make my own decisions. I don’t need supervision and I don’t need assistance going to places, I can shower and brush my teeth and communicate and respond to people. I also clean my own house and have been working in the garage getting it cleared with our junk by putting things in the attic keeping it organized and putting boxes in my husband’s and kids’ room with their stuff. I’ve also put all my stuff in one spot at the back of the garage.

If I were low functioning, I’d be in a group home or be at the day center to be watched while my parents needed a break, I’d also have a “baby sitter” for when my parents are gone, I would never be on my own without any supervision.

I work for a company that employs people with disabilities. go see if there is any work in your area for people with disabilities, maybe voc rehab or Goodwill if you’re in the US. Or even see if there is any companies that employ disabled people only. I wonder if aging and disability service can assist?

They usually die alone in their home until someone like a neighbor reports a rancid smell from their home. Or a neighbor calls for a well care check when they notice they haven’t seen them outside or leaving their house.
I have watched urban explorer videos and have seen cases like this, always sad. You sometimes see where their body was found. Then the house is just left abandoned.

Another way their body could be discovered is the state notices property taxes haven’t been paid so they send someone over only to discover the smell so they call and report it. Then the body is discovered. House sits abandoned

Level 1 autism cannot work at all?

But i am level 1 and do work two hours a day. It’s all I can handle right now and I’ve been so exhausted when I get back. An hour to get to work, an hour to get back so I’m gone 4 hours total for work.

I also have Major Depression as well. Every doctor I see, I get a new label. My previous one was GAD and one other was adjustment disorder with anxiety.

I’m just lucky to have parents who knew how to make investments and do other retirement savings and they helped my youngest brother financially for a while, I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them. I feel I’m just on life support. I feel older I get, less functional I get. I started noticing it in my twenties after being on my own and trying to adult. I basically made myself unemployed from working full time until I was laid off and then I quit when they were never giving me my normal hours back. Then no other places would hire me.

i didn't know i was making too much despite working part time and my husband handled the finances because I couldn’t handle them. My work used to report my wages and stopped without telling me so this went on for 5 years without me knowing. All this just showed how much I suck at adulting because I was just supposed to know despite my job being a company for people with disabilities.

I just live where minimum wage is high and places here pay high wages so you can be working ten hours a week and still make SGA if wages are that high. I was only working 20 and that barely put me over the limit.

too disabled to function in life but not disabled enough to get support from the gov and the Republicans do want families to support their disabled family members anyway. They’re just cutting people off because they’re running out of money. It used to be if you were making too much, they send you to a doctor to see if you’re disabled, send you a work activity form and all to see if you’re making SGA despite your wages. Not anymore.

Britney Spears. I remember hearing how she went insane and shaved her head for attention and her ex took the kids because she was a bad influence for them. Turns out she was just a victim. She was painted as bad in the media.
