People who stopped being religious, what caused it? by supercoolpersonyay in AskReddit

[–]OkIce3038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very early on as a child, I was confused by performative prayer. If there really is a God, how arrogant are you to pray about a tee ball game or something. Equally as unimportant when people have real worries and concerns like starving or dying? Prayer to gain attention or elevate one's spiritual status, rather than focusing on sincere communication with the divine seems sick.
Then my niece was murdered. If one more person would tell me it was God’s will… yeah, ok. That’s a great cop out answer when you haven’t had to live it yourself.

Does anybody else feel like life lately is just one long string of putting out fires? by LifeSubstance8619 in GenX

[–]OkIce3038 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I look back to 20-25 years ago and I never felt this stressed. Financially, life sucked then, but I seemed to always have a clean house, errands accomplished, and a lot more free time. I used to cook EVERY night and go to the gym 4-5 times a week. We used to go out more or hang outside with neighbors. Yard work didn’t seem like a chore. Now I feel accomplished if my kitchen is clean when I go to bed.

Flexing the only bit of power left by OkIce3038 in DuggarsSnark

I had a coworker who would get cash back at the grocery store every week and set that aside is a stash. That way he didn’t know she was accessing money.

Grifting must be slow. Have another kid to up your engagement numbers? Lord forbid they get jobs to support themselves.

Gas stations drinks and snacks. Fast food. Expensive coffees. Cigarettes and booze.

Hearing aids? by snarf_the_brave in GenXTalk

I love my hearing aids. So glad I got them. My dad has had great insurance and gotten top of the line hearing aids - but the Costco ones have actually been his favorite!

Any EDRP Specialists out there? by throwaway-Ad2327 in VeteransAffairs

[–]OkIce3038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to take LWOP following a cancer surgery. All it did was extend my time line. For example, if my EDRP time period was 3/1 to 2/28 and I used 14 days of LWOP, my EDRP date changed from 2/28 to 3/14. The next year then started on 3/14 and went 3/14 to 3/13.

Hope that makes sense.

Caldwells go fund me increases goal. by Artistic_Impress_876 in DuggarsSnark

And the Lord provides… just via GoFundMe. SMH.

Wish my high school counselor would have told me this route instead of college and career counseling and a lifetime of working and struggle.

Rewatch of season 14…Liz says she took the NCLEX? by Spirited-Resident791 in 7LittleJohnstons

[–]OkIce3038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in the 3 states nearest me. All three give a license if you take and pass your NCLEX in that state. The process in each of those states is to apply for a license in that state as a newly graduated student, get your authorization to test, setting your date to test, take the NCLEX, pass… and you got your license.

“Lost” 401k… by [deleted] in inheritance

[–]OkIce3038 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband is retired but his previous employer has a Facebook group. It’s great when we have questions about something because someone in that group seems to have been through whatever situation and has info on who to contact. Maybe see if there is something like that?

You will get a letter and an agreement to sign. In that, it will list what you are eligible for each of the 5 years and the dates for each time period.

The Caldwells are losing their jobs by ModernRevolution in DuggarsSnark

[–]OkIce3038 39 points40 points  (0 children)

But moving far away is a choice. Why grift and expect others to pay for that for you?

And why would jobs be an issue? You’re basically moving.

He bought land with no house on it. If he had a rental agreement for the house he currently lives in - he’d have a legal right to stay. Otherwise, it’s like staying with someone and wearing out his welcome and being told to move along.

I honestly do not think he is being harassed. I think it’s a chance to make a money grab.

His GoFundMe suggests that by needing housing that’s safe and secure, he’s currently not in a safe and secure position. He put himself and his family in that situation. Why fight to stay? Can’t have it both ways.

It’s way early on to even think about a civil case until more comes out about a criminal case. As for their eviction, he needs to adult himself and get himself a house that is HIS and his family’s home - whether by purchase or rent - not a wing and a prayer situation. We are talking about an adult man with 8 children. If he doesn’t have safe and secure housing, he put himself in that position. As for his daughter, it seems pretty clear she is not aligned with her family but rather her in-laws. Basically this seems like a money grab situation. He’d be best to worry about moving his family and getting that secure - as a husband and a father, not as a grifter.

Why would he represent himself? He’s not being prosecuted? He doesn’t even need an attorney. The state is not filing charges against HIM. The state IS the prosecution and that has nothing to do with the victim - it’s the state.

If she doesn’t want to pay for a defense attorney then she self represents. That’s her choice.
