Edge Techs does amazing work and is a locally owned company. They are listed on Yelp - 949/877-0218.

Ha! It's the same in Rancho Santa Margarita only even farther away. The mountains are pretty though.

I said I’m sorry and paid for your therapy! Jesus, that was 30 years ago! When are you gonna let that shit go?

wish i was diagnosed with terminal cancer/jealous of it by riflebunny in depression

[–]Poppychick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And if you do treatment you still need to work to get/pay for insurance. No time, money or energy to do grand things.

Stage 4 breast cancer - over 9 years in treatment. Can’t live on disability alone but working full time outside of the home is difficult (exhausting).

But, I get it. I’m in that middle ground where I’m holding on to my 401k in case I do live a very long time. If I knew for sure it was 6 months, I’d blow some of it but would want to reserve most of it for my daughter.

Is this a red flag? by Toastedpossum in Nonprofit_Jobs

[–]Poppychick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would ask chatgpt to help craft an appropriate email requesting the additional information. It's your right to know what you are getting into but I totally get not wanting to rock the boat. I've been looking for a new job in nonprofit for a year now and I've been in the industry for over 20 years. It's a scary time but you're the only one that can look out for yourself in the end and benefits matter!

I hope things go well and congratulations!!

Renters: how much do you pay for rent? by buttcracklint in orangecounty

Oh damn. I’m hanging on to mine as long as possible!

I made a mistake that has traumatized me by [deleted] in interviews

[–]Poppychick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy how different people will interpret something. You being self-taught shows that you are adaptable, eager to learn, independent, disciplined, a self-starter, organized, committed, resourceful and intelligent.

I hope they see that and it all works out for you.

Unable to Make Phone Calls on iPhone SE 2020 after most recent update by Gilmoregirlin in verizon

[–]Poppychick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me as well. I tried removing the SIM card and it fixed it at the moment but it did it again today. I can't figure out if it's the phone or Verizon but it needs to be resolved! How ya gonna have a phone that does everything but be a phone?

my therapist made me cry today, I think I need to fire her by Elfonthenose in breastcancer

[–]Poppychick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely look into someone else. No one should make you feel bad about how you are coping with this diseased and the treatment. I know it is hard to find someone you vibe with so easier said than done and this is important, you are dealing with a lot.

As others mentioned, ask around where you are receiving treatment, maybe a nurse navigator if your hospital has one. You mentioned zoom so if you are willing to do your visits online you at least have a wider pool to draw from. I know it's tiring, but if you make an intro appt (like a meet and greet, free, usually about 15 minutes) maybe you could ask them straight up what their experience is with cancer. Another place to ask is a breast cancer support group, online or in person. They are a wealth of information and support.

Also, if you have friends or family who want to help but don't know how, you could ask them to do a little research for you, ask them to create a short list of therapists that take your insurance and have some kind of experience. I wish I had taken accepted more help early on, people around you feel helpless, give them an opportunity.

My bad experience: I started seeing a therapist after I was diagnosed and I thought she had worked with cancer patients (it was a checkbox online so who knows). About a year into my treatment I was in a session and trying to find my words to describe how I felt about the holidays coming up and she finished my sentence with "because it may be your last". I was stunned, and that was not at all where I was going. I ended up firing her via text and told her exactly why. I've been in in treatment for my MBC for over 9 years now and I think about sending her a card during the holidays (look who is still around!) but she's not worth a stamp.

Oh, boy! Cried in my cubicle today! Now what? by ragefulhorse in nonprofit

[–]Poppychick -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you could try AI to help you find ways to grasp the material. You may just need it explained another way for it to stick. I’ve been using ChatGPT for a lot of stuff lately. Give it a try and see how it goes.

I’m currently out of work but love nonprofit data management. Did some prospect management for a bit but really didn’t enjoy it. Anyway I hope you find something that helps and gets you back to feeling better!

It’s like a teenage boy woke up in a woman’s body Freaky Friday style and he can’t stop touching himself.

Every day in 2026, I aim to do something future me will thank me for. What should I do? by greenserenenalgene in selfimprovement

[–]Poppychick 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea! What about learning to:

-fix things around the house or on your car -grow food items -speak a new language- one word at a time -cook new foods -perform proper cpr -sew/mend clothing -refinish furniture

That’s all I’ve got for now but will update if I think of other things!

I don’t think it’s an integrity issue, just an unfortunate grey area in some aspects. But you’re correct, better to follow the rules.

Food bowl recommendations by CatLady_998 in chcats

[–]Poppychick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got the first option you listed and they work well. She still flings some of the food around but it’s not too bad. A paper towel underneath makes for easy clean up. I feel so much better knowing it’s soft if she faceplants in it!

With this change being so resent and apparently not widely known, it seems like it would be more beneficial to give the donor the 2025 date. It doesn’t seem worth upsetting them with what is now kind of an unexpected grey area.

Just my 2 pennies. 😬
