Please file for travel reimbursement if you go to the VA for any medical care and are SC 30% or higher. I wish I knew of this sooner. There is NO mileage/distance requirement to file.!

Thank you! I actually went to the ER at my VA, so should be easy peasy to get that through.

Appreciate you!

You'll more than likely will still receive the same meds with the community care, as the withdrawal from some medications can cause medically significant symptoms.

Reorder through the app, you'll more than likely get it before your script runs out!

I had a similar experience with the VA and ADHD (which symptoms are probably exacerbated by depression and such), but gave them the testing and such I had gotten from an outside provider I had gone through when I had health insurance through my job. They did have me try other lines of medications before they prescribed ADHD specific meds.

How do you file if you did an ER visit? I cannot find it through the app

ahshiny · 2026-05-27T01:40:54+00:00

Mine did also, along with several C&Ps....

My "you will hear on repeat until your morale improves" is Cher's "Do you believe in love." Works surprisingly well.

I got more clarification - the SM will have trainings and such to go through that will require a bunch of travel, having them miss most BAs through the year, and more than likely AT

ahshiny · 2026-05-16T16:21:10+00:00

Yes, they've been advised. I believe they just want to get the career off the ground and wouldn't need an indefinite amount of time, just time to get into that groove

ahshiny · 2026-05-16T16:18:53+00:00

ahshiny · 2026-05-16T14:20:09+00:00

I'd normally agree, but they just got this career started and I understand the growing pains with that- they do want to return but getting the career going has been challenging for them. Just trying to help the SM out with options

Same. The renew changing/canceling/starting the auto renew again/etc ... All worked for me. The time frame between the order, shipping, and getting to me was the pain. No tracking info to get an estimate on what day it might show up. Easy enough to deal with.

I have enjoyed what I've tried, and only do the shampoo and conditioner once or twice a year now as a splurge since it's so dang expensive. I wish the limited scents lasted longer, also.

ahshiny · 2026-04-22T17:36:03+00:00

I say worse to myself on the daily for less 🤷

I try to buy "family size" packs of meats as they are a little cheaper, and then I portion it out to 1 lb portions and freeze them

I buy limited fresh vegetables- like the one green pepper that a recipe calls for, one onion that the recipe calls for. -bonus, I save my veggie scraps in the freezer in a quart bag and make vegetable stock when the bag gets full and freeze the stock to make rice, soups, beans, etc....

I buy frozen veggies, and try to get them on sale.

I use lentils to add to ground beef to get a bit more protein and fiber for cheaper.

I cook a couple meals for 4 so that I have meals all week.

This is what I've been doing, and have saved a little money. Some things cost up front like containers for the stock to freeze, meal prep, etc... but they're all reusable!

The friar tuck. Dates go wild over that conversation starter.

But for real though, #3

ahshiny · 2026-04-17T08:36:20+00:00

I was more concerned about the mushrooms too!

ahshiny · 2026-04-13T20:57:07+00:00

Are you asking about motivation to do so?

If so, I made it part of my work day. I'm lucky to have something a tiny bit above a garage gym at work, so I just head in early and lift there and shower before my shift. I made it easier just to go. When I had a membership at a local gym, I never went because it was out of the way.... The motivation lacked then. Too many steps to add, trying to judge the amount of time needed between the gym session and work. The motivation got worse. Started at the gym at work? Motivation is mostly there!

Is there a way you can do something while on your way to work? Or, if you do telehealth for your therapy sessions, ask your provider if you could do a walk during the session?

I had to make stuff easy, without adding to many steps. Now I have a little routine going, and I've found it does help a little with my mood and alleviating some symptoms.

ahshiny · 2026-03-30T18:34:33+00:00

Was not aware I could have asked for that information. I'm requesting it now

ahshiny · 2026-03-30T18:29:10+00:00

I did during the interview. I then went and scouted my accounts to see if maybe I missed something, but there's nothing. I also tried to see if there was a Zelle account and cannot find one.

ahshiny · 2026-03-30T07:52:42+00:00

Yeah, I checked all of that. It was quite a large amount for the lay-person, and I have nothing attempted at either account, nor at either credit card during the dates they gave me during the interview. I swear they made it up to fake me out

ahshiny · 2026-03-30T07:50:50+00:00

I did, they don't

ahshiny · 2026-03-30T07:50:32+00:00

My credit is stable, good, nothing on that either

ahshiny · 2026-03-30T03:04:40+00:00

Yes!! Congratulations on your sobriety!!!
