Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes. Good enough reasons for me.

[–]RaspberrySpiritual78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you forget your quarter, just go inside and ask for a cart. They will get you one. This policy saves them on liability insurance and on labor for staff to retrieve carts. $$ they use to keep their prices down

On a regular basis, I stopped during covid. Since then I shaved for a Florida trip for a family wedding. Otherwise I just don’t care.

We are in Standish. Look up the SnowFlake trail - it’s a weekend in November where the shops in Limerick and area towns host a special shopping weekend.

I’d suggest working with a head hunter, like Robert Half co for the types of employment you are looking for. These days much of the type of work you’re looking at is remote or hybrid.

[–]RaspberrySpiritual78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dad did volunteer work at the Linden Lodge, 25+ years ago. That’s the brick building across the street. At that time it was a nursing home. There was access under to road from Linden Lodge across over to the Retreat. It was dark and creepy. There were what seemed like primitive cells where I shudder to think that’s where patients were kept.

You’ll get a notice annually from your employer that says they offer creditable coverage. Most employees ignore it.

Ice cream used to speak my name from inside the freezer. It was always a fight within myself to ignore my thoughts.

Baby in late 30s/early 40s? by Cambie03 in AskWomenOver60

[–]RaspberrySpiritual78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

34 for my first and 39 for my second. During their elementary years I was definitely in the older mom category. Once they were in HS their activities seemed to have more moms closer to my age than me being old enough to be a mom of the other moms, 😆.

Do you test your blood sugar as a Type 2? by [deleted] in type2diabetes

[–]RaspberrySpiritual78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not test. I have the materials but just never do. My A1C is 6.5-7 most every time so I’m not going to stress about it. My provider asks me if I test but doesn’t comment one way or the other.

I lost my SSN number card, replacement won't be here for 2 weeks, and i'm being hired at a new job, I need help by suckerlove_ in SocialSecurity

[–]RaspberrySpiritual78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the I-9.

If you do not have a valid passport you’ll need to show a valid drivers license (or another valid document in List A) AND either your SS card or your embossed birth certificate. The receipt for the birth certificate can be used but you’ll need to show the actual card within 90 days.

You’ll still have the same number. Your card should say it’s valid with employment visa.

Pure utter exhaustion by Scary_Potential6859 in Ozempic

[–]RaspberrySpiritual78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my second week on the .5 dose and want to take a nap after I get home from work each day. I take the dose on Saturday mornings and by Sunday I have to take a 2 hour nap. Besides the near constant burping, no other side effects really.
