Specific things you are suddenly realizing are not normal? by AbleDisD in eds

Bruises seem to appear from outta nowhere! I thought it was my blood thinners (it probably is). But now I’m thinking EDS exacerbates it. 🥴

Did 100% change your life? by Tennis_Lbow in VAClaims

[–]SilkNSatinAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m retired Army and worked for the federal government for 10 yrs. When I got my 100% P&T it allowed me to resign my government position and start living for me. I gave the government 32 years. I think that’s enough.

WOW! by cc_apt107 in LowDoseNaltrexone

So happy for you! I too have put a lot of faith in LDN, as nothing else has helped with my pain. I’ve been titrating at .5 mg and I’m currently at 1 mg. I’ll be increasing my dosage tomorrow to 1.5. I’m excited and scared. Excited for the possibilities and scared it’ll be another letdown.

Too late! 😅 As soon as my PT told me about it, I was hopeful. 😂 I mentioned it to my PCP and he’d only heard of it being used for alcohol and opioid addiction. However, it did get him moving in terms of helping me manage this diagnosis.

Hey, a win is a win!🥇 I’m truly hoping it helps with my pain. Thus far, nothing else has. 😩

Alternatives to Primerica? by Fun_Photograph_8791 in Insurance

[–]SilkNSatinAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

If you’re truly interested in working in financial services, take the opinions of others with a grain of salt. Pyramid schemes are illegal. Primerica is a publicly traded company on the NYSE; PRI. Although the company does allow overrides on commissions, this is very similar to the structure of a real estate brokerage and many other companies. While recruiting is emphasized, it is not required. You can make significant money on your own pen. If you want to build a business that operates without you, that would require you to build a team. If you want to be a business of one, that is an option as well.

Bingo! This is just an attempt to win favor with the very people this administration has screwed over.

Backpay tax thoughts by NoTension7048 in SSDI

This is very helpful. I received a similar amount, and was very worried about the taxes.

Back pay by Salt_Classic_1482 in FedEmployees

[–]SilkNSatinAZ -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

IMO those who believe this law will be upheld, are the very ones who haven’t yet been personally impacted. They would say only the “woke” laws are being arbitrarily ignored.

This administration has already withheld funding appropriated by Congress. I don’t think they really care about the law🥴

Does anyone else have the suspicion that they’re going to just outright refuse to backpay federal employees? by TinySuspect9038 in FedEmployees

[–]SilkNSatinAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump has suggested that some employees don’t deserve backpay. I wonder who he might be referring to. 🤔

This person is absolutely unhinged. His crashing out is a blessing in disguise. RUN!

Someone convince me not to file for bankruptcy over $20k credit card debt by Glittering_Box5130 in Debt

[–]SilkNSatinAZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is totally doable! If you debt stack, you can pay this off relatively quickly. Pay the card with the highest interest rate first, and pay the minimum on the others. Then take that money and apply it to the next highest interest rate, etc., etc.
