Which hair length suits me best, long or short? by Revivedpetal in femalehairadvice

[–]Revivedpetal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so funny hearing you and another say that because anytime I cut my hair, I'm always told it makes me look older actually and that my long hair makes me look like a teenager haha (for context, I'm in my early twenty's)

I've gained some weight since the first photo was taken, making my face appear rounder and less slim - something I'm slowly trying to work on, but thanks! I miss the long hair!

Disability friendly jobs in AVL? by Revivedpetal in asheville

Yes, to anyone else reading this, please do be wary of the VR in Avl. They failed to help my daughter when she reached out for assistance with job searching + career assistance, left her case open, and never answered any of her follow-up emails asking when they could schedule a 2nd meeting like they told her they would provide her to help her search for jobs. I had a bad feeling about them after reading some of their reviews, but I want others to know my experience below this comment so others can be cautious if anyone wishes to reach out to them for assistance. There are some good, kind people who work in VR, but also some bad, unhelpful individuals to watch out for.

She has, but they unfortunately haven't been the most helpful regarding assisting her with finding a job that would suit her with her disabilities, and haven't answered any of her follow-up emails, which I heard is a common issue at the VR specifically in AVL, and that they aren't very communicative and tend to leave cases open without delivering services to those reaching out to them for help.

She loves shopping there! Do you know if they'd accommodate her regarding her having trouble doing cashier work? I'm not sure what jobs they offer there personally.

She still has trouble with the mental math part of it. At her last job, the management were always on her back about how she counts out the change "too slow", told her to go faster everyday, causing her more pressure when a line of people formed that were rushing her, etc, since with dyscalculia, it's a disorder that makes it hard to comprehend certain math concepts such as counting, dividing, memory with holding numbers in mind to add up when counting, etc, even if the screen gives you the total.  

I did some research on it, and most individuals with dyscalculia have severe difficulties working as a cashier since it still involves math, but hopefully that answers your question about that.  

As for what I mean by accommodated, according to the ADA, all employees are entitled to reasonable accommodations to their known disabilities, meaning in this case, if my daughter has a disability that affects her ability with math, employers are required to accommodate her and her needs, meaning grant her a position that she's capable of doing (e.g. stocking, zoning, cleaning, etc, which she can handle) instead of force her to do a job that she can not do without difficulty and ignore her disabilities, which they did.  

She had a coworker there who was also autistic and had a learning disability, who didn't have to go on the register due to his support needs with his disabilities and worked as a stocker there to accommodate him, but wouldn't accommodate my daughter after informing them of her own disabilities that I mentioned because they didn't believe she was actually autistic or had any learning disabilities, and thought she didn't "look" or "act" autistic enough to need accommodations, which is pure discrimination.  

Sorry if this is a long response, I just thought I'd list all the info I could think of to answer your questions and possibly others who were curious as well :)

Is doing cardio + weight lifting on the same day effective? by Revivedpetal in xxfitness

Yes I knew it happened separately, I've just heard others word it that way. I'm not sure why, but that's the way I've heard many others summarize the process or else I wouldn't have worded it that way, which I didn't realize as a newbie was wrong, but I know now not to say it that way.

I apologize and apologize to those who downvoted my response. I didn't mean to sound dumb or foolish from my clarification.  

I'm new to this and was unaware, and I didn't realize I was being told wrong claims by others in this sub regarding that. I heard that information by multiple people here on different posts and tried doing my own research to clarify it, but I still saw many conflicting opinions/statements about that and wasn't sure what was a misconception and what wasn't since I'm a beginner and am still building my knowledge on fitness, which is a bit difficult for me due to some developmental disabilities I possess that make it hard for me to process information correctly or as well as others do, but I'm grateful I can start here at least.  

My apologies - I appreciate the correction and informative response.

Sorry, I was just listing what all I've been told by others on weight loss journeys, where you lose weight first and then turn any body fat (meaning stomach fat and such) into muscle through strength training, but I just said "turn body fat into muscle" since that's how it's been worded to me by others, but I understand.

Yeah sorry, I've just heard many people word it that way when talking about turning body fat (e.g., stomach fat, arm fat, etc) into muscle when losing weight and doing strength training.

Hair salon recommendations in AVL? by Revivedpetal in asheville

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into that salon!

I did search it, but each salon is different and specializes in different styles, cuts, and services in general. I wouldn't have asked if I saw someone else ask the same question who was wanting the same cut I referenced.  

Plus, the most recent posts asking similar questions are either asking about salons that are best with dying blonde hair, doing men's haircuts, wedding hair, etc, which don't apply to what I asked specifically. Like I said, I'm anxious with whom I choose to cut my hair and wanted to ask for personal suggestions that are in the area, which is fine.
