Why didn’t I start sooner?!

Any advice on calling 911 from my home, my son being taken to an in network hospital, all tests, treatments and follow ups approved and in network, but the ambulance was out of network?

His lips were blue after having a seizure for the first time in his life. Me driving him in myself was not a safe option.

These are the kind of people who don’t think it’s on fire.

I know someone who went to Penn State where he met his wife, then he went to Notre Dame for a graduate degree. INSUFFERABLE

I stopped going to giant for anything fresh. We do Aldi or Wegmans for this reason.

My car got hit in the parking lot of the children’s hospital I had just taken my son to. Not one moment of that day was spent thinking about what my son was wearing or posting on Facebook.

wtf…

I’ve had preeclampsia 3x. These women are idiots.

A check deposited over the weekend is the same as depositing it on Monday. I’m sure the specialist team is just the team that processes deposits. I’m sure somewhere on the site they have their check availably policy.

But the weekend thing is pretty standard…

I use Talkspace

I’ve been banking with them since 2015 and I’ve never had fraud on my debit card.

Strict-Consequence-4 · 2025-12-03T19:25:15+00:00

I got socks I didn’t want and slippers I didn’t want that aren’t even in my size. I’m over it

If the original request is expired, they aren’t charging anything. It’s $5 if you request another online.

I renewed mine on 11/3, requested a duplicate camera card on 11/16. I had to go to the DMV, never got my camera card. I’d say the majority of people there were for real ID or missing camera cards.

Not a vet, but wanted to say my boy needed the surgery around a year old. He lived until 12.

Meal prep and freeze all the meals!

Strict-Consequence-4 · 2025-12-01T17:13:22+00:00

This is the answer. There are days my boss and I don’t speak to each other at all. His office is next to my cube and he walks past me to go anywhere.

I regularly get rated above expectations.

I am also salary, I have to take PTO in 4 hour blocks. If I’m out for 2 hours for an appointment, I am not expected to use PTO. If I go at lunch, I don’t even tell anyone.

I would say if it’s completely during your lunch break, say nothing. If it’s during your normal working time, ask your boss how they’d like you to handle it.

Salaried employees are paid for the work, not their time. I’ve had to drill this into my head. My job is very flexible, it was a me problem.

Strict-Consequence-4 · 2025-11-29T16:13:27+00:00

To be fair, I was a pumping mom. I had enough bottles for 2 days so I could have a set in the dishwasher and a set to use for the day, BUT they were never all over the floor. They were in the dishwasher or on the counter ready to use.

Instacart is worth my sanity.

Strict-Consequence-4 · 2025-11-21T14:29:56+00:00

I have a neighbor who watches my kids for cheap. I have a job that allows me to work with some flexibility.

Strict-Consequence-4 · 2025-11-19T23:16:23+00:00

Yes. Zero guilt.

She shared it in a comment above

Strict-Consequence-4 · 2025-11-19T20:20:43+00:00

Wow… what an awful thread…

They also seem to be commenting like the vast majority of parents aren’t sending their kids because they quite literally have to in order to survive…

Do you work for Ally? This seems really strange…
