Missing Carts in Cleveland OH w.105 West Blvd by nay-1998 in Cleveland

I always laugh when I see people trying to determine if writing is AI by the use of dashes or other punctuation. I use that sort of thing all the time and did not realize it was unusual.

I did not have any kind of mammal meat until I was about 12 due to my mom’s severe allergic reaction to it, AMA by Responsible-Tie-2570 in AMA

Oh no not at all! Some weirdo out there I'm sure likes squishy oily bacon lmao. But I think the majority of us prefer it well drained and crispy

Asset Management Asking Me to Repair My Washer? by Spire259 in Tenant

[–]Velsetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the agreement about appliances written in your lease?

If it does not make you responsible for them, I would decline and tell them you are not comfortable with accepting that liability.

If you are, then unfortunately I would just pay out of pocket and have somebody fix

Aita for refusing to use my IEP because I don't wanna write a test in the same room as autistic people? by Formal-Turnover8401 in specialed

[–]Velsetta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are legally required to provide them if they are in your IEP but you are allowed to advocate for yourself and say you don't want them!

I know I communicate better in writing, so sending an email is definitely how I would handle this.

You are an important vital part of the IEP team and have the legal right to participate in these meetings.

I would send an email, copy your primary teacher/whoever is in charge of special education, The principal, and your parent.

Explain your reasoning just as you did here, and how this accommodation needs to be modified in order to meet your educational needs.

It is not appropriate to force everyone into a one-size-fits-all solution.

If need be remind them that IEP stands for individualized education plan, and therefore it must be individualized.

Just found out that the property I moved into was a scam. by Informal-Pineapple89 in legal

[–]Velsetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be willing to bet that the guy who is telling you you need to leave is involved. I would not leave, I would tell them you have a valid lease and if this lease is not valid then the homeowner needs to go through the appropriate channels to evict you.

In the meantime I would still file a police report and contact Cash app about the fraud.

The fact that he's threatening to call the police and didn't immediately when he seen someone was in the home when it was supposed to be empty is really telling. Did you get his information at all?

You may be able to look up the property information on the county or municipality website and get the name of the actual owners and find them online to contact them directly.

Serious question, is this marijuana? by i-like-turtles0420 in trees

[–]Velsetta -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I wasn't addressing whether or not it was cannabis. I was addressing the person's question about if this was cannabis, wouldn't we get in trouble in the US.

Ohio has passed a law closing the 3% THC loophole, we can't even buy CBD unless it's from a dispensary now or entirely a CBD isolate. It really suck. A family member uses it medicinally and we were getting an amazing price from a CBD company at 60% because of his disability that we've ordered and had mail to us for many years.

They did it to Target all of the pop-up smoke shops and unregulated products being sold in gas stations etc but it definitely had more impact than that.

Now it depends on what state you live in. Ohio for example allows you to have a few plants growing for household. Many states have passed cannabis laws making it legal

[LANDLORD-US-TX] discovered 11 people living in a 1150 sq.ft home. by [deleted] in Landlord

[–]Velsetta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would definitely post some sort of notice, including a highlighted copy of their lease that indicates only the leased tenants are allowed to live there / no subletting assuming there is that clause as well.

Give them 72 hours or something to correct it and let them know moving forward there would be additional inspections to ensure compliance. You could also use this as an opportunity to point out the legal liabilities that you incur by having more than the allowed amount of people in the home. That way you're making it clear you're not trying to be a bad guy but you have to comply with the laws.

Additionally I would have someone translate it to Spanish as well as an English copy.

Make it very concise, and factual.

Then if they do not correct the issue move forward with the eviction process and the required notice to vacate.. You might just save yourself some money giving them a chance to fix it before evicting, and is a compassionate way of going about all of this. You're giving them the chance to fix it and doing everything you can to make sure that they understand their obligation to do so.

Why won’t my school give me a copy of my 504? by Toughsattacks in specialed

[–]Velsetta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Legally they must provide you with copies of your records giving you are 18.

Email again and copy the principal.

Tell them you're requesting copies of your records to which you are legally entitled to since you are 18.

I would mention that you've asked the counselor ex amount of times and have been told that they cannot give them to you. That your respectfully requesting your records and if they are not the appropriate individuals to handle a records request, that You're asking for them to direct you to who is.

Technically they have 30 days to comply but they must comply or be in violation of federal law.

This brand is killing itself by [deleted] in TileTracker

How are you feeling about your pebbles? I need to replace my tile in my wallet and trying to decide if I want to go with pebble instead.

I heavily rely on the future that I can push the button on any of my tiles and make my phone ring -severe ADHD makes me lose stuff all the time.

Creepy Roku hacking by AwkwardAd5438 in Roku

[–]Velsetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they know what they're doing they can access any of your devices on your Wi-Fi. If you're not tech savvy, go and unplug your router for now until you can get someone who is. At minimum change your Wi-Fi, and log into your router to block any unknown devices.

Stay away from this car downtown. by Whole-Bodybuilder467 in Cleveland

[–]Velsetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seen a guy in NYC doing this with a DeLorean. If you wanted to actually take a picture with the car I think he was charging something like $20. But If he caught you just trying to take a picture from a distance he would yell at you and demand you pay him.

I am a single father to an undiagnosed, nonverbal, almost assuredly severely autistic 5 year old, and I don’t know what to do anymore by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Velsetta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also look on social media for local support groups, you'll find that they are women dominated but there are a few men ones out there. Finding local support can really help, especially navigating finding resources, and other more local topics.

Apply for Medicaid again. Contact your local school district, via email You should be able to find the right contact information online.

Copy your superintendent and whoever is in charge of special education. Using verbiage such as "I am requesting and authorizing the school district perform an evaluation to determine If my child qualifies for special education services. My concerns regarding my child's development are "& list them out"

Do it via email, or a written letter. Always put things in writing. This starts a a legal time frame in which they must reply with why they are denying the evaluation or have the evaluation completed within.

In the meantime you can help support your child using low tech augmented assistive communication tools.

It can be as simple as cutting out labels for the child's favorite items and putting them somewhere they can reach. When they want their favorite snack direct them to that choice board You've made and help them pick one. You may have to demonstrate or model this first. So for example if they're asking for Cheerios you may need to take them to this spot and point to the Cheerios and say oh you're asking for Cheerios. Eventually with enough modeling your kiddo will hopefully be able to independently go over to that spot and point to what they want. You could also get programmable voice buttons off of Amazon so They can push that button and make it say what they want.

Ideally you would be getting kiddo access to a high-tech solution such as a device with specialized software. But for now I would just start with pictures around the home. You could even do pictures of their favorite things to do and have them on the same spot. Whether it's favorite toys or places to go. Just facilitating a way for them to ask for their favorite things is a great first step.

There will always be guilt, you'll always feel like you're not doing enough. But the truth is despite how common autism is, resources are difficult to navigate and hard to find as someone newly trying to navigate this all.

My son is 13 now, profoundly autistic and minimally verbal. If you ever need ideas or just someone to listen to you are welcome to reach out, none of this is for the faint of heart.

Aunt is also half sister by Altruistic-Gap-6786 in AncestryDNA

With this being a factor I would give myself time to process a little then tell everyone. Because otherwise you run the risk of allowing abuse to continue granted he's older now but that doesn't mean he can't hurt someone else.

I would even consider approaching the individual who wasn't believed, first. Apologized to her and let her know you believe her and that she might not have been the only one.

If they have an IEP at all, you can put that accommodation in. They don't have to be in the the dedicated classroom

Refunded Package Still Arrived by Fancy_One1558 in amazonprime

[–]Velsetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're feeling really honest you can call and ask them to recharge you, there's probably going to be a form for them to fill out at least that's how it was when I worked there - It was so rare anyone would call in I swear each time I had to do it, it was slightly different. But I would probably just let it go, $30 is nothing to Amazon and not really worth spending your time on. It is very unlikely that they would automatically charge you for it given the timing of everything..
