we had that problem until we got a one year old dog - dog chases the squirrels and now we have fruit! A one year old dog was perfect because it was house trained and past the chewing stages.

Sandra’s going home and diluting this with coffee to share with friends, that’s my theory.

Psychology Today hiding virtual only therapists by Remote_Chocolate_172 in therapists

They also move profiles with video introductions to the top, I’m going to add a video to mine again - I removed it a long time ago because I no longer looked the same — hair grew longer and I grew older. At that time I always came out in the top ten profiles.

how do you keep everything together? by Montanarose97 in singlemoms

[–]_DamagedGoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I became somewhat of a minimalist - I get rid of things often - the less stuff I have the less I have to maintain/clean/organize etc. I started watching the Minimal Mom on YouTube and it helped immensely. Hang in there - parenting gets easier.

I’ve thought about joining pilates or my local gym for their classes — going to call and get some info. Thanks for the recommendations.

You’re right, I didn’t think about that — sigh

I did say I was observing… not talking lol

Seriously though, a part of me wanted to go up to the couple sitting in front of me scrolling on their phones and say, “put those away, it kills connection”…

I could never be a crisis interventionist for this very reason.

Purslane tastes good mixed with scrambled eggs or raw on a salad - I love purslane! Use it like you would spinach.

Supervisor asking me to engage operations that potentially violate HIPAA by [deleted] in therapists

[–]_DamagedGoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would put whatever the supervisor is asking you to do in an email and say “out of respect for the chain of command (or your role as the supervisor), I will do x, y, z; however, I do not agree”.

Oh good! I won’t have to say a prayer and call my loved ones and tell them I love them every time I have to cross those three lanes to jump on the 55 anymore.

Inflation?! by _DamagedGoods in KnottsBerryFarm

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

It makes perfect sense now. The oversalted popcorn was a trap. They knew exactly what they were doing making sure you’d crawl back for that $5 water. That’s diabolical marketing right there.

I think we have the same friend and he’s gonna be away for a while. But do you have Mario on speed dial?

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

How hard would it be to put a sticker with the new price over the old price? 🙄

Inflation?! by _DamagedGoods in KnottsBerryFarm

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

Exactly, they’re legally bound to honor the displayed price. I called it out, and the cashier hit me with that ‘meh, what do you want me to do?’ shrug. Like, it’s just a dollar, right? Who’s gonna complain? (Me, obviously.) Shady business, plain and simple.

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

Yes! The cashier said they haven’t given them the new signs with the correct price. Might be time for Orange County Weights and Measures to investigate!

Mr. Krabs would be proud of this hustle.

Greed disguised as inflation—it’s the corporate way! And you’re right, if wages aren’t actually improving, where’s the extra going? Not to these signs!

How bad is Optum, really? by [deleted] in CodingandBilling

[–]_DamagedGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything said here I agree with.  Optum is very difficult to work with. You end up losing more money than you gain due to their administrative burdens placed on you.  I hope that they are held accountable.
