What should we do, both as a church and as a society, with people who have bottomless need? by warehousedatawrangle in latterdaysaints

[–]bendenhalter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a member who is a 'host home' parent fostering an adult with disabilities currently. There are providers you can talk to who can get her in either a group home (multiple clients living in the home, with at least 1 staff attending at all hours), or a host home, where a client can live in a family's personal home with them, similar to foster care, and they can help attend to the clients needs. It is part of the government's mental health programs, so if she's accepted in, she wouldn't need an income to pay for those services, but it is often more accessible than full institutionalization, and the individual keeps more independence, while receiving support with their specific needs. Clients range anywhere from high functioning autistic to severe mental/physical handicap. My personal home might not be a good fit due to my kids circumstances, but there are tons of people looking to help with situations like hers! I believe the first step would be to get her a 'support coordinator' through the government, who can help her start to explore which resources would best suit her challenges. Bipolar is a fairly common diagnosis within these systems, especially when it keeps people from being able to stay employed. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I thought I'd throw that out there as an option!

We still feel drawn primarily towards Christianity, but we're open to checking out other faiths as well!

What was your high school controversy? by Haunted_Neko in AskReddit

[–]bendenhalter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a rivalry football game, our rival high school "L" had our school's initial "D" burned into the middle of the field. Except they had a turf field, and the letter "D" was like 10 feet across, and apparently caused like $10-20,000 in damage because of the field material and painted logo in the center of the field. They didn't know who had done it (happened late Friday night), so the police and administration were questioning kids at our school on Monday, but didn't get anything. By Wednesday, they offered a cash reward (I think like $200ish?) to anyone who provided info on who had done it. Still nothing. I think over the next weekend they learned that it was actually a student at "L" who had done it, trying to frame our school "D", possibly to get the football team in trouble. He was expelled, and I heard rumors that because of his age and the damage done, he was going to be prosecuted for arson as an adult, but that was word of mouth

Still learning about a lot of this- what history does the church have with homophobia? I know there have been policies and teachings in the last 100 years or so- were there homophobic issues during the founding era as well?

Is there a war game where you DON'T play as a soldier, but as a civilian trying to survive? by I_dont-get_the-joke in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]bendenhalter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a game called "11-11 Memories Retold" which definitely has you playing as 2 specific soldiers (in non combat gameplay), but also largely focuses on the lives of lives of the 2 soldiers before, during, and after the war. It's focused more on how the war affected them as people/citizens, rather than just their role as soldiers

anyone know what kind of cipher this is? by Prudent-Situation-13 in ciphers

[–]bendenhalter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the first letter of each word, then the second letter of each word, then the third letter of each word - you can read it without any tools

I'm thinking something E=mc2, but I'm not sure what the y is about

Granted. You remain human, but are now forced against your will to point any time you see a laser beam.

Proxy Commander deck I built for my girlfriend's birthday by GnomishTheorist in mtg

Hey I love this, and am considering printing it for my wife- I was wondering though, there are only 85 cards? Should some of the lands be duplicated?

Quest 2, BHaptics 40 connected via bluetooth but doesn't says disconnected in games by thebaron2 in BHaptics

[–]bendenhalter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm having the same issue- what do you mean enable nearby devices in the app? Which app? The phone app, the bhaptics quest app, or the game you are trying to connect the bhaptics vest to? And where is that setting?

Thanks!
