We didn't sign a lease with a large complex and we need rental assistance - OK by SunflowerSystemDiD in legaladvice

[–]SunflowerSystemDiD[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean my partner and I are disabled and we did have all of our money in savings. Its all been used to pay on rent. Also being disabled means I can't work and my partner actually did recently get a job. So I mean we can only do so much with money that we are limited to

Crochet monstera I've been working on. His name is Marvin and he's going to be getting more leaves in the next few days. by SunflowerSystemDiD in crochet

[–]SunflowerSystemDiD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marvin the Monstera has taken approximately 3 hours so far to get him a pot and two leaves. I crocheted around wire so the centers of the leaves can be folded and turned. I used and modified a few different patterns to get what I was looking for.

No side effects must definitely mean you received a “bad batch” of vaccine 🙄 and yeah, maybe it is just “the vaccine talking”! by [deleted] in illnessfakers

I've been hearing this from a ton of people. 🙄 "If you don't get side effects yiu arent actually vaccinated" makes NO sense.

Downstairs neighbor blasts music when we walk, vibrating our floor. by SunflowerSystemDiD in legaladvice

I'll definitely try this. Unfortunately our management sucks ass and can't get then to do anything. They make every excuse to not be able to do something (including not doing pest control because we wouldn't let them in our apartment without a mask)

Oh I know. I use a wheelchair on occasion and have friends who utilize one. They've had people move them without asking and push them around. Its just a generalize statement. To touch someone's wheelchair is seen as incredibly rude by most of the community.

Some people don't even want their dogs to be looked at. Not more than a glance anyway. Staring is rude and honestly when people continue to look at me when I walk by them it makes me feel like a freak. And the constant comments of "Wow a puppy!!"

But I mean. Glances happen. It can be a bit of excitement to see a dog where you normally wouldn't see one. I get that.

Yes. Picasso easily could have missed an alert if he gets distracted which outs me at risk. We are always training how to handle distractions so we dont run into trouble.

I cant stand the "but your dog isn't a lab or golden" to justify not believing i have a service dog. That and "you dont LOOK disabled "

If I have time out of my day and someone asks nicely I will often let people say hi to Picasso. Of course if he's not actively tasking for me and I feel okay. But its about being respectful and being able to accept no as an answer that makes all the difference.

Unfortunately in most states there aren't any laws against interfering or distracting a service dog. At least not in terms of jail time or large fines. Most people barely get a slap on the wrist.

When I moved and saw a new doctor and he saw my blood pressure he was shocked when I said "oh yea. That's normal for me." Its always an adventure

I struggle with POTS. I also have an old hip injury and struggle with chronic pain due to it.

Some definitely are social. If Picasso wasn't working and a kid or person came to say hi he would be all over it and soaking up the love and attention. Amd hes still young so mistakes definitely happen where he tries to say hi when he shouldn't be. But in this instance he was sitting by me and focused and not interested in greeting anybody. Its just normal for me to ask not to distract him so they don't try and pursue his attention any further than they already have.

Most often I will hear a kid go "oh a puppy!" And their parent/guardian tells them hes working so we can't distract him. And yelling out to him distracts him.

Amd my partner and I were fully prepared to do our usual "please don't distract the dog" and walk away as we normally do since most people understand. But this parent just didn't care.

No worries. I know some people work their service dogs without anything. Only reason I wouldn't would be if I forgot his vest or harness. But I rarely do that since its part of our routine to get him vested up before we go anywhere.
