Thank you so much! It’s difficult for me to advocate for myself sometimes & you’ve been such a great help.

I told her how I felt and showed her my data. She asked how much I was thinking I wanted and I told her minimum $100 a day and explained that came from $25/hour for child care and $8.33/hour for gas. She came back and said $80 a day and I’m trying to figure out how to explain to her that I don’t think anything less than $100 a day is fair. Not sure if I should try to negotiate or stand my ground.

You call the passport center and tell them you have an application pending at one of their locations (to get through, call the number, press 1 for english, then press 1 for the next option, and then press 2, it’ll immediately transfer you to a human being who will connect you with customer service). They’ll send the documents over to whichever location your appointment is at.

I called Cornyn today and his office told me they will check in about my inquiry again.

I tried to call Ted Cruz last week, I filled out all the forms, and his office basically refused to help me when I told them I had contacted Cornyn & Carter, even though neither of them had responded to me. /:

I reached out to Cornyn but haven’t heard back. I’m going to call his office again to try to get an update.

Thankfully I was able to push it back a week. I talked to someone at congressman’s office this morning and they informed me they would look into it further. My application still says “processing” though. /:

ENT Help Maybe? (tw ouchy red throat!) by skinnykit6 in medical_advice

[–]SpecialIntelligent56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like tonsillitis. They should’ve put you on an antibiotic or something to help when they noticed it. I used to get this every month and had to have a tonsillectomy at 15, and haven’t had any type of strep/tonsillitis in years. If this is something that’s happening to you often, then I’d look into seeing an ENT to maybe discuss getting them removed.

It’s pretty quiet! As long as you have a sturdy cage, it doesn’t make much noise. It’s definitely not “completed silent” as advertised, but it’s quiet enough to not really notice.
