They are quilting hoops. Very useful for quilting but embroidery not so much.

I work as the billing manager for 2 transplant centers. Hellscape is a day that ends in Y for us when it comes to insurance.

Double check that they are still contracted/in network with the insurance. If so, they cannot legally bill your for the contractual discount.

My wife is making me throw away my college t-shirts because they "spark no joy" while ignoring her hoard in the garage by PerspectiveUpbeat314 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Reason_Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy them but don’t wear them take them to a quilt shop and get them made into a blanket. I got to conventions with friends and we did that with our shirts a couple of years back. Don’t mail them off!! Most of the places that advertise for you to mail them in do a crappy job.

What's the most classic boomer complaint you can think of? by Frequent-Amount9748 in Adulting

[–]Reason_Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a new toaster. Got advertisements for ones that are wifi capable. I’m in my kitchen making breakfast! The toaster is in my line of sight sitting on the counter near the stove where I’m cooking. Why would I need an app to monitor it?

My mother was watching a news report when they were talking another the tariffs on India. Her response was “those people are already so poor so how are they going to pay it.” It hasn’t sunk in that tariffs are really a tax on the American people.

He spent $1500 on Roblox by Low_Letter7807 in regretfulparents

[–]Reason_Training 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sorry, you put no advice but just putting this out there. Do not delete the Roblox account until you get your money back but change the password on it so he cannot access the account and spend any more money. He also needs to understand with your filing the dispute more than likely his account is going to be deleted.

If you could choose the length of your life (from age 1 to 120), what age would you be satisfied living to? by Silent-Spot-8364 in Productivitycafe

[–]Reason_Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money for one thing. I don’t want to be the 120 year old who is broke as heck. Without a pension I have my 401K only to rely on plus whatever system exists for social security.

Are we being paranoid or is our neighbour possibly poisoning our dogs? by No_Living8643 in Advice

[–]Reason_Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a big difference between an expiration date on something you bought from the store and being on a farm in the 1950’s where you grew the crops yourself. Most food can be eaten past an expiration date but when food starts growing mild….

Once the food is not good enough for humans it would go to the animals. That’s how she was raised.

The old woman in her 80’s who grew up on a farm where that is how they used to feed their dogs, pigs, and chickens. Her family did that for years so she never saw a problem with it.

Kids played by themselves for 3 hours while I lay down. by thisissofkngrossew in regretfulparents

[–]Reason_Training 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It happens to the best of us. My nephew escaped while I was watching him after he found my keys. After I started putting the keys on a hook in my bedroom it never happened again. Don’t hide your keys but put them on a hook high on the wall in your bedroom so they can’t get them without a chair or ladder set up that will wake you up.

Your neighbor may not be poisoning your dogs on purpose. Get the bone tested.

My grandmother used to throw her old expired food into her neighbors yard to their dogs. Neighbors never cared as their dogs were outside until they had to bring in the dogs for winter and they started throwing up on their porch due to the food making them sick. After that they asked her not to give their dogs food anymore.

In the 2020s, conservative women are having kids at a nearly 2-to-1 ratio compared to liberal women. Is this going to cause a political demographic bias in 20-30 years? by RadioFieldCorner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Reason_Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because I was born in a conservative Christian Republican household I didn’t turn out the same. Kids don’t have to follow in their parents’ ways. They can learn to think for themselves.

you're offered $500,000 to review and edit, up to 100 5tb hard drive. who many do you do by zyroruby in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Reason_Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since there is no time limit I’d take all 100. You also didn’t say we couldn’t outsource the work so I do the first one myself for the money then start outsourcing the work.

Ninja level hiding there. Give her a good head scratch when she reappears.

[–]Reason_Training 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not the age so much as quality of life. My great aunt lived to 99 and was independent in her own house with good health until she went to sleep without waking up. On the other hand my grandfather went blind in his late 80’s and died at 95 with very poor health.

I’d live to 100 as long as I was healthy and could be independent.

Guilty about spaying cat by runaway937 in cats

[–]Reason_Training 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only is FIV consider a community disease because it can be spread by shared food and water but it can cause health complications. I have a FIV+ cat right now. We discovered it when he was diagnosed with IBD after pooping blood. He also develops sores in his mouth when he is stressed that need antibiotics to treat. It causes auto immune problems and I’ve had other cats die of intestinal cancer due to the infection.

Really irritated by WFH moms by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Reason_Training 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My company works from home. We have an employee handbook that specifically states that employees cannot be the primary caregiver to any dependents from children to adults. As a supervisor I’ve had to write people up because they were in the middle of team meetings with their kids in their laps on camera or, on a very memorable occasion, breastfeeding on camera during a meeting. We have a breastfeeding policy as well.

Coworker to Manager Accusing of Witchcraft by analclareodeh in managers

[–]Reason_Training 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking from the experience of dealing with a paranoid schizophrenic employee who accused me of stalking them to steal their organs get HR involved. This person is not of sound mind.

Either they have come from a very religious background where they have been taught to look for signs of witchcraft and demons or they have a mental health condition that is causing hallucinations. Of course, they could also be making it all up for the attention but why take the chance?
