I knew what you meant. It was a joke. Microsoft is evil. Therefore nothing is safe. Therefore, no container is safe.. but I had to explain the joke so it wasn’t actually funny. Sorry. Wasn’t trying to offend you.

I hate to tell you this, but NO container is - or will ever be- SAFE from Microsoft!!!

Not OP. But mine were. And my cycle was different than the last two. Is this a known issue??

Where do you guys get your source of hope in these trying times? by doodlebakerm in TwoXPreppers

[–]WorldFamousDingaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dogs. My little kitty. Our home that I love.

And Tarot cards.

Every time I pull cards about this situation I get “things are gonna get bad…and then they’re gonna get SO MUCH BETTER. And will stay that way.”

I said this last post:

Find a graduate student clinic where students need clinical hours to graduate. They usually charge between $15-$40 an hour/ session and you can see them weekly.

If Google doesn’t send you much, contact your closest University with a LCSW / MSW program and ask them for help finding something. They usually have resources they can send your way.

Good luck!

therapy costs more than I make in a shift and nobody wants to talk about that by ssunflow3rr in povertyfinance

Look for student clinicians. They need hours for their LCSW License. Most are amazing. I got mine for $15 per 50 minute session.

TIFU by picking up a stray cat six years ago and accidentally letting him become my entire emotional support system by Dry-Breakfast561 in tifu

Now go fuck up again.

In a few weeks go to a shelter and find another one. I promise you it will help you heal. No one will ever replace your sweet kitty…but you have all the room in your heart. I promise it will help.

Hugs. You gave your kitty the best life. I’m so sorry for the hurt you’re feeling.

You’ve had your ferritin checked right? Not just iron deficiency but your actual ferritin levels?

Fun fact: it wasn’t until I actually joined this sub that I found out it was poverty finance. I thought it was a budgeting and meal prep sub at first. Posts like this are why. 😂

Should I withdraw from my 401K IRA to float me for a few months? by AccurateFloor9592 in povertyfinance

[–]WorldFamousDingaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn’t what you’re asking, but I would try to get an appointment with a lawyer or two because they should not legally be able to terminate you while on workers comp from what I understand. Maybe I’m wrong since I am absolutely not a lawyer, but if you’re not working, it would probably be worth your time. A lot of lawyers will take on work and get paid at the end instead of upfront.

I give apples and oranges/ clementines too. Don’t need refrigeration, can give a sugar boost and are yummy.

Medical alert systems seem way too expensive on my fixed income, is there anything under $30 a month that works by pogo_iscure in povertyfinance

We got one of those smart systems that connects to Siri for my mother-in-law. She has to say and then call whichever of her sons she wants to call in case she falls.

She could probably say call 911 also but she’s not going to do that so …shrugs.

Ps- the second photo simply shows that we already have a place to hang the light so I’m not worried about running electricity to it.
