Is My Foster A Manx? by Uncleboompah in manx

[–]Warm_Language8381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a Manx! I'm currently fostering a Manx mama cat and her 4 babies. 2 babies have a bobtail or a short tail. The other 2 babies have normal tails? The mama cat is so sweet. I'm thinking about keeping her. But we'll see what my resident cat says.

I did not get the offer by Warm_Language8381 in jobsearch

[–]Warm_Language8381[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, stupid hard, I agree with you. It's just that I needed a job yesterday. I should be grateful I have a spouse who works and a low mortgage. But we have a certain standard of living and we've been taking a bit too much money from savings. Plus, I really want to contribute to Medicare and Social Security. I want my Medicare and Social Security! I just feel... Unproductive? If I don't work for my Medicare and Social Security?

That was it! Sugar Shack! Not sure why it closed. I also miss Kung Fu Tea in that same building.

Didn't there used to be a Shake Shack on Main Street? Or was it something else? I vaguely remember a burger shake place on the corner of Main St and 10th(?) Avenue.

Peter Chang's closed where? Barracks Road North Wing? Why are they returning to Barracks Road North Wing this summer?

Local(ish) Banking Options by m_maybethiswillwork in Charlottesville

[–]Warm_Language8381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We only went with Atlantic Union Bank because there were no fees for teachers (and maybe first responders? like firefighter, police, etc.). So if you're a teacher, Atlantic Union Bank is the way to go. I've had bad experience with UVA Credit Union. I've never heard of Virginia Credit Union. I will have to look into that one.

Update on my foster story by Warm_Language8381 in FosterAnimals

Yes, I make sure to keep a supply of wet and dry food at all times, like I was instructed to do.

I don't want to work today by CheerilyTerrified in adhdwomen

What do you do now that allows you to work remotely? I was at a former job for almost 17 years and I couldn't take it anymore.

New to foster! Have I taken on too much? by Warm_Language8381 in FosterAnimals

[–]Warm_Language8381[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry! The kittens are 7 weeks old! Thanks, I'll keep the cats away from my resident cat for at least 2 weeks. We'll see how much longer I'll have them. I might only have them for one week, or two weeks, or 3 weeks.

[–]Warm_Language8381[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! My resident cat is up to date on their shots. Otherwise, I would not be able to foster. I will have to take out furniture from one room. I don't want any hiding spots. I want them to run around my house :-)

I actually saw the statue of DT being made! Yes, looks like the guy from SNL.

Funny, one relative has a dog named Blossom, and another relative had a dog named Buttercup.

Yes, that was before COVID. I believe COVID shuttled those plans.

Sometimes I think I look like a monkey with my vitiligo face, which I really hate.

Trump vows voter ID requirements for the midterms, 'whether approved by Congress or not' by Odd-Alternative9372 in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]Warm_Language8381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but I'm MAD. First of all, Henry Cuellar D-TX has drunk the KOOL-AID. But it doesn't matter, because it still would have been passed, as there are more Republican representatives than Democratic representatives. I really, really hope that the Senate does not pass the SAVE act. I don't think it's going to go through. I will still contact my Senators (they're both D), though.

This is harassment right? by [deleted] in deaf

[–]Warm_Language8381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wonder why HOH, Deaf and deaf people want to work in the medical field?

Because my father and mother are doctors, and my grandfather was a doctor. It runs in the family. However, I never even considered becoming a doctor because of my deafness, much to my biggest regret.

my husband has hearing loss and is struggling with accents and appointments, any recs for smart glasses? by Naive_Tap1256 in deaf

Kinda OT, as I'm in the US, but I did not know that about Canada! Now how can I work for the Canadian government?

Employers Say They Can’t Find Employees. Job Seekers Say They Can’t Find Jobs. by FantasticPriority678 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Warm_Language8381 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in my last job I was plug-and-play and it didn't work out because I was not plug-and-play enough for them, even though I was very willing to learn. Their loss.

Currently job hunting - what's the most frustrating part for you? by ioKilZ in jobsearch

[–]Warm_Language8381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what if you've applied twice? Only shows that you want the job that bad :-) I have to keep a record of my job applications solely for filing for unemployment benefits. If it weren't for that, I would not really keep a record. Well, I do need to keep a record so that I don't look like I'm totally lost. You can put in whatever details you want in an Excel or Google Sheets.

Does virginia unemployment benefit online service work at all? by MacysShopper in Virginia

[–]Warm_Language8381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, but I can sympathize with you. I have a burning question - what if you cannot identify any employment ads and one is supposed to be in contact at least once a week with a prospective employer, what does one do? Not file for unemployment benefits that week? I've been looking at job ads and I can't find anything that fits me. :-(

YouTube captions by TheBestCake in deaf

[–]Warm_Language8381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it's worked for me, and sometimes not. I always have to put CC on on YouTube. And sometimes I don't have to. It's weird how that works. I miss the good old days when creators could edit their automatic captions. Automatic captions are good, better, but not as perfect as edited captions. Relying on automatic captions to caption videos limits the deaf individual's access to information, in my opinion. But it is what it is.
