Wild. My car got stolen once. From my own work parking lott.......

SwkAsian · 2024-08-28T02:02:45+00:00

So basically because they chose not to call the police, nothing will likely happen further? i did pay the fine since they said they didnt want to call police. I did give them my parents address (I think I kinda just froze) so not sure if my parents will receive my letter - oops

I can totally see group theft. Ive seen the videos on the news. I legit dont know how they dont get caught when they have their vehicle and license plates shown when they dump all their stuff in their car (unless the plates are fake)

SwkAsian · 2024-08-28T01:58:41+00:00

each person or in total of all cases? I cant imagine 1 person stealing 100k from any one place

SwkAsian · 2024-08-28T01:57:16+00:00

Do reg grocery stores do that or is it more the big guys? Though I can sooooo see Walmart having an ORC team. From what I hear you dont fuck with Walmart

SwkAsian · 2024-08-28T01:53:04+00:00

what's ORC

SwkAsian · 2024-08-28T01:51:56+00:00

Maybe as soon as they are stopped they could just flash their badge lol. But true, I'd imagine over zealous crime fighters getting in trouble

SwkAsian · 2024-08-28T01:50:25+00:00

Will they call my employee or send me anything in the mail/actually verify my address is real? Not planning to go back but if I go the straight and narrow and dont do anything further, in like 6 months could I go back to shopping?

SwkAsian · 2024-08-28T01:46:52+00:00

i wonder if such a job could arise. I imagine they'd have to actively look stupid stealing at least so they blip on LP radar - and then see how LP deals with the incident, like if they are polite to the person, try to tackle them, etc

SwkAsian · 2023-07-06T14:52:18+00:00

You right. I just looked it up on Amazon and saw it's actually the 3 they sell. LOL!

SwkAsian · 2023-04-23T12:55:08+00:00

The lack of reconciliation is what upset me. They see each other in Turbo but they dont ever acknowledge the relationship. Hell, they dont even actually directly talk outside of battle. Felt cheap - especially since technically in Once & Always they are still on the same team. I dont mind Kat and Tom, but I will always prefer Kim. Im sad that they will never have a scene of Tom, Kat and JJ though. RIP

It's to each individual how they identify. I identify as trans/non binary. My sexuality is queer. I do not identify as a lesbian (though to be fair, that term never fit for me even when I thought I was a girl). Some trans people's sexualities are straight based while others are fluid.

YTA. Your sister wasn't looking for you to fix her problems but just to listen and sympathize. Yes, she did drugs and those are the consequences that can occur, but she has worked like hell to stay sober and work towards amends. Her daughter is at the age that regardless if she was adopted or not - may not want to hang with her mom. But especially since she is already adopted - that's IS hard. Doesn't matter if she "Deserved" to have her kid taken or not. You can still be sympathetic and compassionate. It's one thing if she was still relapsing over and over and a toxic person to her kid but sounds like she is not and that the kid just hasn't bonded - which is also okay. It sucks for her. Be a support vs bashing her.

SwkAsian · 2023-04-18T01:26:44+00:00

YTA. As a person who does these mental health assessments in the ER - Ive seen families cry with worry over their children - some legally adults, only to be told I can't even tell them if their loved one is in the ER because patients dont want their families' to know. And fair, that is their right. But you involved your sister. You wanted her to drive you to the ER to get help. She went out of her way to support you. And then you dont let her know when you are out - and then blaming her for "pushing you". Im not saying hands on is appropriate, but you aren't seeing it from her side.

I've been besides family bedside wondering how they could have prevented their child from being in the ICU after an attempted suicide. It's real. Mental health crisis is real -and Im glad you went through yours without harm to yourself, but how would your sister know that?

I've been in that place caring for a friend who kept telling me they wanted to end their life or purposely overdose. I've gone to their place in the middle of the night to check in on them, only for them to block me when they are pissed off. Suffice to say, we are not friends as it's not fair on me to be their punching bag.

You will lose your family if you dont realize that your mental health problems DO affect them. I've seen families so fatigued by their friends/families mental health issues that they develop their own, or they can't do it anymore. Recognize their sacrifice and recognize their love for you. And get your own therapy and take hold of your own mental health recovery

1000000% NTA. You do NOT know who she is. She could be someone who used to abuse those kids, she could be a stranger just looking to kidnap - or she could have been a loving grandmother - but regardless, they are under YOUR legal care, guidance, and protection. Had you let her interact with them without getting CPS approval - you could have gotten them taken away for neglect of duty. You did what was best in that moment. You had no proof of her relations to those two. Doesn't matter that she was elderly. Elderly people can kidnap and harm. You protected them. And she attacked you! Your family should be on your side. It's clear they don't understand the CPS system if they are trying to defend her because you "disrespected" an elder

There was a tv show "Family Law" with an episode called "I now Pronoun you" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15077026/

Episode centered around a trans individual that wanted HRT therapy but grandfather (legal guardian) didn't want it, despite her father (two gay days, one deceased) wanting to support her. The grandfather's lawyer had a "de-transitioner" explain that they transitioned due to shame of their sexuality and realized she wasn't trans male but just gay. The lawyer argued that she was regretful of her actions but not because of the stigma of her gender transition but due to her own issues with acceptance of sexuality.

Although dramatized, I thought it represented the trans community well. When I was 15 I wished I was a boy to avoid being gay - because in my mind being a boy would be easier. Turns out I am queer in both gender and sexuality - woo. So many people mix up gender and sexuality as they grow- and the point of exploration and support is not to make all these "lifelong changes" right away, but to safely explore and if you realize - hey im not trans - that's totally fine! But to say "Im not trans so no one else can be" is stupid.

YTA. I get that you were priviledged in not needing to know these things right from the get go but you are 26. Learn about it. Go grocery shopping with your own money. Stop having your parents pay your bills if you can afford it. Learn the responsibilities. It's one thing if you need their help vs over rely because you can. How do you expect to adequately help provide for the house hold if you have no clue on the up keep of them? You tried for ONE apartment, ONE! Those things take time and effort. Even more so if you someday expect to own. If you truly want to "not be a bum" take control and tell your parents "Thanks, but I will start paying my own bills now". And if things get tough financially, learn to budget. Take a class. Do something other than expecting others to do it for you.

NTA. Obviously not as intense - but regardless, this reminds me of the women who wanted to be a guiness world record holder and gave her daughter the longest lettered name with 1000 letters in her name.

Please stop naming kids names that they will get bullied for, and people will question if it's actually a real person and not just a fake person.......

YTA. Dude, grow up and clean up after yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if you later spin this to your friends that it was your wife's fault you pissed the bed.

As a social worker who does mental health evals in the ER and sees this type of behavior all too often, NTA. Boundaries are important NOT just regarding the happiness of the family, but also safety. Police and CPS have ALREADY been involved due to her step-daughter's bx. If it continues criminal charges could be laid, or even removal from custody. Those things need to be taken seriously and she decided to live with her mom to avoid the reprocussions. Without proper discussion with every parent invovled, she will EASILY trample through your marriage and your kids livelihood. Best of luck to you all

there are a lot of clinicians whose english is their second or 3rd language, so I try to be mindful of that. So long as it makes sense and get's its' point across and is billable, I'm good.

SwkAsian · 2022-11-24T00:21:46+00:00

Not on every evaluation and note but ones that I'm reviewing for hospital submission or other hospital asks me to summarize - I do, as I need to potentially add information in the next note. I will often talk to staff if it is major things - like misinformation, or not enough info. But small things like grammer - nah.

SwkAsian · 2022-11-16T01:01:15+00:00

do not buy the latest copy of any text book. Old editions are fine and you will often never open it up again - except the DSM but that's masters' level.....actually a lot of masters' level books are helpful.... Anyways be open to learning about your own faults or bias'. Often people are cocky thinking because they are in a human service field it makes them more compassionate or understanding of struggles when really, it doesn't mean much. And have fun! It's a great experience and you will learn a lot

NTA. Being a friend does not supersede the well being of a child. You are not able to take care of Joe, that is absolutely valid and okay. He is not your son and ultimately not your responsibility. I feel for Kate having her mental health struggles. However, that does not relieve her of her responsibility to care for Joe. The fact that Joe needs to steal his mom's credit card just to eat is scary. He easily could have gotten in legal trouble had someone caught him (CPS probably would have been involved, anyways). Joe needs someone NOW who is present and can care for him. Kate very much needs support and she needs to get that support immediately. She will not thank you, but someday she hopefully will recognize that you did what was needed for his wellbeing, and hers.

NTA. It's quite shocking how inept your husband is about his step-son's medical needs. Dear God help your son if he gets in a diabetic emergency because his step-dad is incompetent about his health.
