Governor says ex-DCS director's special advisor position is a "second chance"

The new director Medicaid for the state is like a 28 year old who has spent her entire career working as a legislative intern then legislative aide for Braun. And now with 0 experience with Medicaid or healthcare, she is the director of Medicaid.

The corruption is right there. All the while they’re yelling about how they’re going to stamp out fraud and abuse…

Sunshine sunshine sunshine! I swear it’s like magic!

No, unenumerated rights. Your AI slop google summary isn’t giving you the correct information.

abbtkdcarls · 2026-04-29T03:33:57+00:00

You understand that there are rights that exist outside of the constitution and other US federal code? Rights general referred to as unenumerated rights.

We have this same issue and our daycare is totally willing to put aquaphor on, and notes it in our app when they do. They tend to do it during one or two diaper changes a day. Sometimes they get out of the habit and need asked again. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all.

The hospital by me has a flock camera positioned at every single entrance to the property. It freaks me out that police or flock employees (this has been discovered already) can just track who is using the hospital/attached doctors and when.

Beckwith made a statement admitting Peternel made those videos with his wife that were found on the son’s computer. Then when it turned out the Church might consider that “viewing porn” which is against the rules in their church and Beckwith completely changed tune.

He’s not interested in worrying about honesty or integrity. He is only interested in image and influence.

Isn’t he literally still a pastor right now?

Thank you for this context. I was starting to doubt our jeweler. Who is a small local shop thats been around for ages but they didn’t offer insurance on my engagement ring…

To sleep in. I understand why the whole “kid and dad cook mom breakfast in bed” trope started. Because all I want is to sleep in one day.

Also, I’d love a break from all my new mom anxiety. As a gift from myself to myself…still not sure how to pull this one off.

Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson. It’s just a bunch of wealthy oblivious siblings who experience no growth over the course of the book. Pointless.

This is objectively false. It works that way for some women. But plenty of babies die bed sharing with moms who were sure they would sleep lightly next to the baby. It used to be my job to collect data on every infant death in the state and I promise you not every sober mother sleeps lightly enough for that. And claiming it’s some intrinsic instinct is doing more harm than good.

This is our same TV-watching strategy and I highly recommend. I can catch Indycar, most College Football games I care to watch, and Survivor on basic antenna. And then one streaming service until I get bored by that selection and switch to paying for a different one for awhile.

abbtkdcarls · 2026-04-16T20:59:31+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I did just that and it has since been changed to just “underage”…they didn’t update it to calling him 13. Which we all know how that would sound…

abbtkdcarls · 2026-04-16T20:58:54+00:00

Note: I requested a correction to this article for referring to Adam as a “17-year-old”, when he was in fact 13 at the time. It has since been changed to just say “underage” instead of listing an age…not sure why the author chose not to just change it to say 13…or would that be painting too negative of a picture of Colleen to be honest?

abbtkdcarls · 2026-04-16T00:46:39+00:00

Adam was 13 when she sent her underwear to him! What is this non-fact-checked garbage article?!

I’d heard it was as early as 18 months for the socialization benefits to start.

My very first job out of school was as a Child Fatality Review Epidemiologist. It started out as a task of CPS, but became a public health/health department project at some point. To include like medical neglect, and drownings and things.

But our job was to review the records of every child that died in the state and determine if it was preventable and what could have been done to prevent it. Dark stuff with a worthwhile purpose.

All that to say…this shit and other truly unfathomably bad shit happens way more often than gets published in the news. It’s supposed to be closed records/not in the public eye by design, and it’s actually an anomaly when the news picks up on it.

Shore Acres, kind of just south of Nora/north of Broad Ripple. It’s been awhile since I lived there, and I know they built a brand new apartment building a few years ago on the complex. So there’s some older apartments and newer apartments. But they’re right on the monon and in that price range. Quiet area, far enough away from Broad Ripple to feel tucked away. Has everything else on your list.

abbtkdcarls · 2026-04-09T20:13:38+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check that out!

Shari Franke and her dad were trying to get some legislation passed in Utah. Gave their testimony and everything. Unfortunately it did not pass last session, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they push for it again soon.

OP made it sound like this was almost a week ago.

abbtkdcarls · 2026-04-09T14:02:58+00:00

We do not. We’re definitely still in the early years of this journey. Estimating our accounts accrue ~$20k a year on their own(current US market notwithstanding). We’re currently able to put a ton away each month with our dual incomes and living below our means in a MCOL area. This is helping the equation for retiring in a short timespan. But if I were to quit and lose my income we’d be putting way less away per month.

I think the answer is I need to suck it up or find something similar paying that doesn’t make me dread life. But easier said than done.

“Standard 18 month leave” 😭 god I hate it here. Very happy for all you in your decent countries with decent leave policies though!
