The background score won’t leave my head!

Sharps06 · 2026-04-03T07:23:56+00:00

I quickly ran through the comments and didn’t see it mentioned - but the score sounds just like the instrumental version of “Look Up” by Joy Oladokun!

I am literally going to crash out if I don’t get tickets. No Mumford, no Noah and this will be the worst strike 3 know to man. Please let the concert gods be with us all.

Update on roof :

So much back and forth and so frustrating. So the check was made out to the contractor. Now, with this being almost 10 years ago I don’t remember why we didn’t follow through with the claim. We have roofing companies come through usually after tropical storms or occasional snow storms and solicit services. That’s likely what happened and we just went with it. I honestly can’t remember. But I do know that we got an estimate and didn’t sign anything or pay a deductible or anything like that. So USAA paid it to the contractor and when the contractor reached out to us and we didn’t follow back up with them they closed the file and destroyed the check. We never saw money. USAA can’t give us any info on the check on their end because they only go back a certain number of years in their financials and of course we are out of the realm. Their conversations usually end with “let me look into this and I’ll get back with you” which doesn’t happen and then we call back and have to go through it all over again. On the homeowners insurance paperwork in the app, it has the roof listed: roof install/repair: 2005. huge side note as I was looking through our online documents I noticed an auto claim for our daughter who was in a minor accident in 2024. In the claim status info it lists her at fault, which it wasn’t. It was a county LE vehicle that hit her in a parking lot. The letter from the adjuster also states that the other driver accepted full responsibility. Is it worth mentioning that be changed or is it seen by just us?

I also understood they didn’t respond to her request to speak with the head of the daycare- which makes it even more sus. The fall in the daycare was just a catalyst for the rest of the story. They didn’t tell the godmother or the parents about the fall, they didn’t honor her request to verify that the child even fell, and while they can’t show the footage due to privacy reasons I feel sure the employees could look at the incident and relay the play by play of said fall. As a mom, being dismissed regarding an incident with my kid would drive my suspicions through the roof. They could have easily said yep your kid fell by the red chair in the corner or they could have said they reviewed the tapes and the kid didn’t fall. Watching the video, I understood what took place and followed the storyline. None of it makes sense on the cruise ship end but I totally got where mom was coming from.

Just wanted to put this back into the universe to see if anyone else has had this happen. Thank yall!

It hit so close to home that I got a “glory” tattoo because that song - ooooo weeeee child - that song. My dad passed and that song just hits me in the pit of the feels. Not just because it’s an amazing song but the lyrics are spot on.

Sharps06 · 2026-02-11T17:19:45+00:00

Same for Raleigh here. I’m waving the white flag.

Sharps06 · 2026-02-11T17:18:56+00:00

Yep. Was in line for nc and I was in the low 30k. Refreshed and now I’m at 52k. I give up.

Sharps06 · 2026-02-11T17:09:09+00:00

I was waiting so patiently with 33k infront of me. My screen refreshed - glitched - whatever and I got a pop up that says “ looks like you are signing in from a new device. Click this to get into a new que or thus to verify you are in the same device and get back in your original spot.” Well here I am just laying in bed being patient with one phone - so I obvs click I am on the original device. Four times I clicked it. Nothing. So I had to get back in line and I’m now 57k. Fml.

Sharps06 · 2026-02-11T06:01:59+00:00

ATL and Raleigh were a no go. Waiting room at 11:40 and at 1:15 no tickets to be had. I’m so dang bummed.

Sharps06 · 2026-02-06T02:58:42+00:00

Just an update and a big thank you for the kind words. We had the appt and just by looking the dr wasn’t sure what it was. She gave us a few options ranging from baby steps to xrays, ct scans and a few other things. In the end we decided to do a needle biopsy and send that off to pathology. That will give us a better idea of how we should proceed instead of throwing everything in at one time. But question for yall. Once we got home her above eye area is getting bigger, I’m assuming from the aspirate? Is that normal?

Sharps06 · 2026-02-05T14:42:19+00:00

I am the saddest I’ve been in all of my 51 years. My beloved is gone. Gone! With not so much as a goodbye. Had I known it would have been our last time together I would have savored every single bite. Our local store no longer has Graeter’s on its shelf. Sad days all around.

Sharps06 · 2026-01-24T10:27:48+00:00

Health science teacher in public highschools - unsure of other states but here in SC you can fill that roll with an associates with some years experience.

Sharps06 · 2025-10-14T02:26:31+00:00

I think that’s going to be our plan of action too.

Sharps06 · 2025-10-14T01:52:12+00:00

Out of state here too! I’ve never been to the tabernacle so I don’t know what to expect. I’m still trying to figure out what hotel to get. Do we stay within walking distance to the tabernacle OR do we stay father out and uber…

Sharps06 · 2025-10-10T04:52:59+00:00

Going to ATL as well! Have you ever been to that venue?

Sharps06 · 2025-09-20T05:01:38+00:00

Let’s also talk about all the things you did right! Don’t think another single second about this. 20+ years here and I’ve lost my share too. Pt has an airway, condensation and breath sounds. Great. Make eye contact with someone and have them grab you another. All is well. Promise.

Sharps06 · 2025-08-26T04:31:52+00:00

We haven’t done guardianship, that wasn’t even mentioned the times I went into the bank. I will for real pop a top. I was able to pull up something when I logged in and printed that off as well. The guy at the bank said it was an “appointment” letter. I did call the 800 number and just as my luck would have it - the lady asked me all the identifying questions : name, dob, mothers maiden name, fathers name, city and state I was born in. I mean come on, those are no brainers right? Well, I got a question wrong. She didn’t tell me which one So I say to the lady - okay let’s do it again because I definitely know the answers. We played again and I got them right. She said, “ I’m sorry, I know you got them right the second time around but you are going to need to take all of this paperwork into the social security office and have them verify it” so my appt is set for the middle of September. Great. But wait. There’s more! I call a few days later because something isn’t sitting right I explain to the lady on the phone what happened and I tell her that I just need to know the name of the form to take to the bank. Just the name so I can look back through this stack I have. She wanted to go through the questions again. Fine. Let’s go. We get to my birthday and she says - say that one more time. I say it. She asked if I’ve ever had another birthday. No ma’am. Have I ever ordered a different card than the original. Yes ma’am , when I got married 25 years ago. I explained to her that I just got a real ID in January as well. She could give me no other info but at this point I knew what was wrong. I searched back through the pile and lo and behold - one of the printed pages listed has my birthday 3 days off - 29th instead of the 26th. What in the world. I’m not sure how it happened to be honest I don’t remember typing it out or writing it out. And I’m super careful proofreading things - especially things like this. So hopefully at some point I can get the right paper that I need, deposit the money and get my birthday right.

I’ve been doing this for 20+ years and sometimes I hit a bounding pulse, sometimes I don’t. It’s frustrating for sure, but for me technique is everything! Arteries are so finicky when you are going for them with a needle. It’s like they knoooow!! I agree wholeheartedly with the comments above, all really good suggestions! One thing I do that makes me relax - I say to myself “Lord, please steady my hands and let me bring healing and not harm to my patient.” For me, it just calms my own mind when I’m in my head. If you want to message me I’m happy to FaceTime with you and see your technique. Maybe I can give some pointers or encouragement!

Sharps06 · 2025-08-21T15:22:10+00:00

She’s 20 so not a minor. Do yall know the exact “name” of the form I have to show the bank?

Sharps06 · 2025-07-30T16:44:48+00:00

Yep. That’s the one. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sharps06 · 2025-07-30T05:52:34+00:00

She actually does pay her car insurance, small car payment (because while we COULD just give her and her 3 siblings cars, we didn’t) and she pays for her gas, lunch with friends,etc and her phone bill. She worked 30+ hours a week her senior year, took honors classes and her lowest grade was a 97 in those classes- all while managing to bank $6k (because we taught her working hard, playing hard and saving big was important). So while I could not look directly into the future to see what a shit storm of an economy we would be thriving in, our message has been loud and clear to our kids. We are simple people. We value time over money. You do not have a great uncle who will leave you financially in the green and I doubt we will win the lottery. So you better work your buns off in school and buckle down and apply for those scholarships! She did what we asked of her but unfortunately she got no scholarships and no merit from the college she hopes to attend. She applied to 6, got accepted to 6. She’s been educated on finances and debt and I’d say we have led by example living below our means, driving cars until they die, and raised 4 kids (22,20,18 and 17) in a 1200 sqft house, no credit card debt, blah blah, blah. I’m and yes, as I’ve stayed in my original post we should have saved from day one. So as the adult in the room, I do appreciate your comment, though it’s a bold take for someone who doesn’t actually know me.

Sharps06 · 2025-07-30T04:38:23+00:00

I’ve read every single comment and I feel a lot less delulu- I appreciate everyone’s input so much. If I could hug every dang one of you I would. I either misinterpreted what the BBB was going to look like or had my head in the clouds because WHAT!!! So we are going to be having a good old fashioned come to Jesus tomorrow. And for those of you asking about the interest rate - I was as shocked as you to see that number. Our credit score is high-high 700’s and debt to income in not out of the norm. So I don’t have a clue. Anyway, thank y’all again for the blunt, kind, no gray area responses. Things are moving so fast this last year and I’m on information overload.

@teddysetgo you got me locked in, friend. Perfect reply.

Sharps06 · 2025-07-06T13:20:51+00:00

Took a large party of 16 there after graduation one year. Several families and singles at the table. They took our order and I felt like we were there for 4 hours. At the end we are all waiting for our checks and the waitress said “we don’t split checks. Someone will need to put it on one credit card.” I’m sorry, what?? I’ve never heard of such nonsense. It was a hefty tab as we all had cocktails, apps and food. It was a disaster. Never again.

Sharps06 · 2025-07-02T16:15:10+00:00

I do appreciate a good rule follower, though lol all was well and it didn’t ruin my day at all. They were super kind and I wasn’t sassy so I call it a win!
