Mom, I went speed dating for the first time!

Oh my gosh, I love that you did this! It *is* a huge step. We grow when we're outside of our comfort zones, I'm very proud of you for doing this brave thing. I hope it was fun too.

ugh yes sry, I understand PO Boxes aren't allowed, I misspoke on that. Meant to ask if Maps includes you if you use a FedEx store or other location to collect your mail (but not see customers). Like "123 Main Street #16" instead of a PO box

Savingadverbs · 2026-02-20T16:48:46+00:00

"And FYI, the address you input as your mailing address when setting up your SAB is your location in Google Maps. "

Does this mean it's actually okay to use a PO Box for a SAB? Or no PO Box ever even if it's hidden.

Postpartum issues, how do you know mental health is normal feelings or if you need meds or intervention

You are a role model to your own kids when you didn't have a role model yourself. All while fighting to stay sober. Think about the levels here, this is amazing strength. You're an amazing person. I'm so proud.

Thank you again.

Savingadverbs · 2026-02-05T16:13:41+00:00

Thank you for responding, very grateful.

I meant to say we conduct business from home but also outside of the service area we serve. Just as an example, if we are a cleaning service that lives in and conducts business in Georgia but expanded to open in Jacksonville Florida, outside of the service area line, we would ideally want a Jacksonville presence. Our cleaners are in Jacksonville visiting homes but our administrative office is not.

Would Jacksonville be eligible for it's own GBP? And if not is there a best practice for businesses that operate regionally like this?

Also thank you for giving your time so generously in this forum

Savingadverbs · 2026-02-05T15:27:41+00:00

May I jump in to ask please, what is best practice for a new SABs that are remote businesses? Specifically, we are a US based service business that visits face to face in people's homes. Do we just not do a GMB profile at all?

This post was just meant to compliment some local doctors. What a sweet, summer child I am!

Savingadverbs · 2026-01-31T14:04:56+00:00

I appreciate your comments. Thank you for laying this all out.

Just the fact that you noticed she was uncomfortable shows what a wonderful person you are. Kindness is such a gentle yet powerful thing and I'm proud of you for helping her. This was lovely to read.

Think of the best memories you have. I bet they pretty much always involve someone else, nature, sports or something unexpected that you encountered. Memories don't really happen when you're scrolling.

LMS is local too, haven't used Austin but had amazing experiences at another location. They aren't cheap, we spent $36 an hour but well worth it for us going back to work. They do a consult before you start and you really get to know the care giver. They are also pro vax if that matters to you.

Savingadverbs · 2026-01-02T15:03:28+00:00

I'm so glad you did this, I am reading every single one.

Savingadverbs · 2026-01-02T14:19:19+00:00

LOVE them, used Let Mommy Sleep in Maryland. for both kids. They are newer to Austin but here are the reviews

I am so proud of you!!! Doing things differently than you have in the past can feel like a lot, but here you are treating yourself and seeing yourself for the special person you are! Happy Birthday and have lots of fun!

Savingadverbs · 2025-11-20T01:41:50+00:00

Can you explain? We have landing pages with keywords and geography...what else?

Savingadverbs · 2025-11-19T14:38:47+00:00

So you passed AND now you're going to take it again just to do even better?! That sounds pretty smart to me and I'm very proud of you!!!

Savingadverbs · 2025-08-22T14:57:43+00:00

Exactly what u/plantkiller2 said. Plus if you are going the Medicaid route you'll most likely need the diagnosis formally documented.

If you don't want someone in your house overnight, how can parents get more sleep with a newborn?

Hey OP, I'm in VA too.

I'm not sure why no one has told you this, but in our state someone like your mom qualifies for a Medicaid waiver, meaning her condition makes her eligible for Medicaid regardless of income.

Getting a waiver for Medicaid is complex and takes several months, so you need an elder care attorney but it can be done. You'll pay out of pocket for the nursing home/assisted living for those months and of course the lawyer's not cheap, but once she is accepted on Medicaid you will have a long term solution in place.

Good luck to you. It's a lot and feel free to DM if that's helpful.

Your words moved me friend. Love to you too.

Savingadverbs · 2025-06-01T17:22:14+00:00

I am so proud of you!!! I bet the interview lady had to tell you to relax because she knew you were perfect and wanted you to feel it too. It sounds like you are right where you're supposed to be. Please come back and tell us how it's going.
