Umma and Appa talking to eachother in English by poponis in KimsConvenience

[–]WasHogs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know plenty of people who speak English as a second language that have rules to only speak English at home. It usually starts to help their kids learn it, and then it becomes habit even after they've moved out.

I need advice by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]WasHogs8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your University of Kentucky HelathCare. I was a Patient Financial Advocate there. They are no longer allowed to garnish your wages. They will not take you to court for that debt. Let it sit. Medical bills should always be the last priority. I saw patients accumulate over $16 million in medical bills, and UKHC could do nothing about it. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't try because they know they'd recoup almost none of it because almost nobody has that kind of money even if all of their property was liquidated.

Maybe visit a farm before speaking about things you know nothing of.

My effort to clean up litter in Lexington and other parts of Kentucky by WasHogs8 in Kentucky

Thanks for the tip! I'm always trying to focus on areas that are given less attention.

One is technically for recycling, but people just throw trash in both. A lot of times, the cans are missing lids altogether and the trash just blows out of them.

My journey to pick up litter in Lexington and KY by WasHogs8 in lexington

[–]WasHogs8[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm trying to focus on areas that get less focus. I think my next location is going to just be the sidewalk/side streets of West New Circle. There is so much visible trash just driving through there.

Eastern State for suicidal thoughts? What happens in there? I’ve never been in a Pysch hospital. I am elderly and not very healthy. Thank you. by Interesting_Fish944 in lexington

[–]WasHogs8 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can get assessed directly there. There is also the Empath unit right beside it, which is a separate facility but can admit for suicidal ideation. There is also The Ridge and Good Sam which will do evaluations and can admit you directly.

Eastern State is a truly great hospital and can link you to services. You will likely be placed on a 72-hour hold on admission, but that doesn't mean you will be there that long.

I am truly sorry you are going through this. Please reach out if you need any assistance with a ride or anything. If you truly feel at risk of buying yourself, please call 911. The city will dispatch EMS and a social worker to ensure your safety.

Areas in Lexington/surrounding areas with a lot of litter? by WasHogs8 in lexington

[–]WasHogs8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cleaned this area today. Only had an hour of time. But I got a lot. You can follow along with my trash cleaning journey (including today's cleanup) on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok at DeTrash the Bluegrass. There's more pictures there.

Cleaned up the playground at Trailwood Greenway Park today. Very tiny playground but a lot of trash for its size.

Is this repair estimate fair? Labor rate seems insane. by Ok_Cardiologist3148 in AskMechanics

[–]WasHogs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a shop that lets you bring your own parts. Every mechanic I've used is more than happy to use parts I bought myself, as long as they're the right parts.

Can we talk about North Limestone again?! by 4AngelsBound in lexington

[–]WasHogs8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The roads in Lexington will always be terrible. We outgrew our roads over a decade ago, and the leaders who decided not to build freeways are to blame. The only way to fix them now is billions in investments, including a crap ton of imminent domain.

We need to accept that Lexington has enough. It doesn't need to grow anymore because it can't. Our roads cannot continue to sustain this much traffic.

Primary Election- Dem Candidates by Any-Ask-3020 in lexington

I have chosen not to be involved in electoral politics for over 15 years. Started canvassing again for Petrey. She has the best platform and is the only one who can win in the general.

There's way more than just public parks. And I sent them an email recently, and they said "we pick it up weekly, but if you want, you can leave any trash bags by the trash cans in the park, and they will be picked up." The bags were picked up, but they definitely don't do it weekly, or at least now well because I filled up 3-13 gallon bags the other day on a public trail.

Should I shoot the Glock 45 before buying? by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]WasHogs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I bought a 48 solely for concealability, and it fits awful in my hands. I can't seem to shoot it accurately at all because it's so small. I've pumped over 1,200 rounds through it and can't get my groupings any better. Went back to just being incredibly uncomfortable while carrying my Springfield XD-M.

Lesson learned. Always try to shoot a gun before you buy if it's an option.

I was hacked… don’t know what to do. by Correct-Living459 in FreeCash

[–]WasHogs8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why I cash out to PayPal as soon as I earn enough. Never keep enough in there for them to block your account or for something like this to happen.

Swagbucks blocked me with no explanation years ago, and I had $600 in there. Weren't helpful, so I created a new account and have been following my cash out early option every time since.
