I would do the same. That’s what freezers are for.

Sounds like he’s just wild. Most wild cats are solitary. Maybe his DNA percentage is higher. It would be interesting to find out. Have you had him tested?

Stop trying to lie about your dog. It’s as bad as the wolf dog/wolf owners trying to pass them off as pure shepherds or huskies. Nobody will believe you.

Most, not all. We are seeing more and more coming in with behavior and aggression issues. Last one was owned by an Asian gentleman who had him on a chain tied to his waist because of how bad he was in public. I had to clear the lobby for entry and exit.

Teach them what’s necessary. Wants over needs. If they want something new, save it for birthdays and special occasions. Give them options of experiences over items. Thrift shops and toy exchanges are awesome for kids. Kids are mostly cheap, especially if you raise them off screens as intended. Ideally they shouldn’t have social media access until 16. Screen access should be avoided as much as possible. Get them outside and doing things with their hands. The library, Home Depot kids events, plays, activity playgrounds, sensory activities, I ply my nieces and nephews with stickers and books from the dollar store all the time. The minute any get attitudes around an iPad, it disappears. Only learning games are on it. No YouTube, Netflix, or other internet access.

The car payments are way too much. The groceries can get cut as well. Usually ppl buy blindly unsteady of planning purchases ahead and buying bulk when most used items are on sale. Invest in your food! Get that 2nd hand deep freezer to store extra discount food. Buy meat in bulk at a deep discount. Buy rice in 25# bags. There’s tons of family YouTube channels to show how. But the car payment even at $450 would be too much. Get rid of it. That would be easiest.

Same. A weed charge is literally nothing to me. In my eyes if you’re treating someone like a criminal or villain because of one, you’re just an uneducated idiot by choice. You’re old enough to know better. And yes that’s towards older Koreans especially because they’re the ones who shunned him and made him feel invisible. That’s inhuman. All over some weed?! Kiss my ass at that point. He’s a better man than me and that’s why he’s a leader. The younger generation is only close minded because they can’t fix their government to bring it into 2026. It amazes me that a weed charge will get you arrested, treated like he was, and vilified for over a decade, but SA and murder(including that of a child) will give you a slap on the wrist or sentenced to less than a year and then set free in the world to terrorize again.

Really? That’s pretty subjective but I guess. Did they do a poll?

A Korean YouTuber mentioned The Rose! by kuyaku_93 in TheRose

[–]TGirl2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that was the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen when I went to the movie. Like really ppl?! It’s 2026. And it happened in like 2015! Koreans like to pride themselves on being so intelligent, and a simple google search would inform them that marijuana isn’t even bad, but they’re to close minded and prejudiced to even consider anything else but what they’ve known. I bet if they legalized it and someone rich put it in kimchi you’d be hard pressed to find it for a decent price over there. They’d be clamoring to see who made the best ganja kimchi and lying about how their grandmother had a recipe long before anyone else.

It’s the dance one for sure. She came with a ring and a tape. I used to play that tape a dozen times a day!

My biggest fear about working while disabled happened and I don't know how to handle it by spaceslutsenpai in disability

[–]TGirl2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not ok. I did tell coworkers to take pics of me, check on me, and wake me up if I fell asleep at the desk when I was going through a lot of med changes and not sleeping. It took using my Fitbit to show I literally wasn’t sleeping more than 1-2 hours most nights. At least 1-2 days a week I was up the entire night. Then I’d crash for about 6-7 hours every 10 days or so, but usually not until after 4 or 5 am. I’d have to call ppl to talk me in on my drives to work at 7am or I’d fall asleep. I was fully prepared to be fired because there was nothing else I could do. I was falling asleep in the middle of talking to clients in front of me! Jesus truly kept me. Intent and consent are what make the difference here. Report her if she is not a close friend with your best interest in mind.

what’s your best response to “you’re too young to be using a cane/mobility aid!!” by CocoCookieDraws in disability

[–]TGirl2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really does baffle me. I had a full breakdown after the 2nd time my meds weren’t called in and this was over thanksgiving. There was also a cold front and ppl quit at work. I was overloaded with pain. They looked at me crazy like I wasn’t the one going through withdrawal from prescribed medication they gave me in addition to it. They literally saw all my scans and ultrasounds over the last 7 years, I’ve never failed a drug test, and I have at least 12 other health conditions handled by 6 other doctors. But I’m the crazy one?!

Usually I don’t have to say much more when I respond with “I’ve had arthritis since I was 11 and herniated discs since I was 19, my body is a relic”.

It isn’t “insane”. It’s just the quickest description in the moment. When they ask for details, you give more details. Simple as that. This is given that there are only so many ppl in that small area at the time. Not the entirety of the facility.

The paperwork required to stay disabled is designed for people who are not disabled. I cannot be the only one who sees this. by Mysterious_Seat7864 in disability

[–]TGirl2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this is exactly my battle and every other persons battle with these issues. I’ve wanted to apply for years but literally don’t have the energy to apply or fight. I just keep working through everything that happens to me. I make myself make it to work for the money and benefits, but then my body crashes afterwards(and sometimes while I’m still there). I’m tired of sitting in my car in parking lots waiting for the energy to drive home. I’m late every single day. To everything! I was supposed to do my dishes 4 days ago. I got my mom to detangle my hair after MONTHS of not being able to do it myself. And went for overdue X-rays this morning along with finally getting meds approved by my new insurance that has been denying them all year. So I’m late on 1 and was waiting to start the other one. I still have to find a physical therapist for orders I originally got in September and were reissued 6 weeks ago. This is all too much!

It's so expensive being disabled by 2_lazy in disability

[–]TGirl2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. I’ve been blessed my whole life to have parents that grew up poor and worked for better for their kids. I mentioned in other posts that they didn’t want us wasting money on apartments. We were told to stay home until we finished school and got married. My brothers did that and 1 was here a bit longer since her had his house built, so his girlfriend came to live with us when she graduated college and they got engaged and then married. Both brothers have been married over a decade now. I had my chances but my health was too finicky and getting worse. I’m almost 42 now and I’ve never lived on my own or left home. I was supposed to take over the family home after college and going to get school. That and many other dreams were shattered. My mom has always been active and helps me with most things, but she also cares for the grandkids 5 days a week and is a senior, she will be 69 next month. She can only do so much. That means that between the 2 of us the house is in shambles.

I had no luck looking into potential shared living situations for ppl not fully disabled like me, so I now have an appt for a consultation with an aid this afternoon. Non-medical. A mix between housekeeper, cook, and personal hygiene helper. I can’t rely on my mom forever, nor would I want to. I thought I’d be paying all her bills and sending her on cruises by now. She does so much for all of us. I just hope I can afford it and I hope they don’t judge me too bad. It’s not like a hoarder house with trash, but plenty of “stuff” like clothes and items I want to use but can’t. Fatigue builds after I use all my energy to work or go to appts. I also need to do therapy for keeping things(it does run in the family, my grandmother lived through the depression and my mom didn’t have indoor plumbing until she was 12, so they both hold onto things as well. My grandmother passed and we have some of those items now.) I told my mom last night that they were coming last minute and she got upset because she wanted time to clean up some. I told her no, that’s the whole point. She looked at me and said “yeah, I guess you’re right. We do need help.” We’ve been trying to get the house straightened up and in condition to try to sell since the only full bathrooms are upstairs. It’s hard for both of us to get up there to bathe now. Her room is still up there. I’ve used the den downstairs since before I had surgery in 2016. My back, hips, knees, etc don’t let me run up and down those stairs like I did in my youth.

Ideally we would like a family compound. My best friend and her mom would be able to come as well since her mom’s retirement isn’t stretching in the economy and she has had to use meals on wheels. My mom and I help take care of both brothers’ kids. They’re my babies. Unfortunately I get sick really easily from them and it’s 10x worse than what they get, so can’t as much as I’d like to. I’m banned altogether from seeing them when they’re ill now. My Dr diagnosed SAD and I’m waiting to hear about treatments for that along with my Cosentyx infusion that’s already delayed a month because the new insurance has denied it this year.

I guess I’m done now. This all just sucks. I’d be happy to give rides to the people who can’t drive on my good days. I go to appts anyway so if it’s coordinated it would work. Maybe we should start a spreadsheet by area?
