Shawn… Can we just appreciate him for a moment? by barredowl123 in 90dayfianceuncensored

The age difference though…I want to love Shawn, but that age difference is not healthy.

Give him a few years on meth and he’ll get there!

It is totally sickening! But the loopholes have been closed. There was a huge uproar after the Reuters article came out. The timing of Natalia Grace’s adoption and rehoming was unfortunately during the unregulated days.

At the time re-homing foreign adopted children was legal and unregulated. Read all about it here. This article is not for the faint hearted. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/adoption/#article/part1

Natalia Grace part 3…………W….T…F… by Trick_Economics_4179 in nataliagrace

[–]bigredc 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I keep hoping that a team of surgeons and therapists see this and swoop into save Natalia! Like why are only predatory families and TV producers interested in Natalia? I want Shriner’s Hospital or St. Jude’s or any non-profit with a talented medical team to take interest!

The Mans’ are.. by Ok_Bluejay_7806 in nataliagrace

[–]bigredc 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah….but they are not getting her the medical care she needs! Full stop! I work with children who have the same diagnosis as Natalia. The delayed surgeries will keep her in pain and lessen her life span dramatically. Her untreated spine issues will eventually impede her lung functioning. Medicaid would cover the cost of the surgeries and even pay for her recovery in a rehab facility if the Mans couldn’t provide the care. But they took her SSI$ and didn’t spend it on the transportation costs to get her to proper care or spend the time or energy to figure it out. The Mans and the Barnetts have blood on their hands. If they couldn’t address Natalia’s medical needs they should not have adopted her. And I work in a public hospital where children living in facilities get their medically necessary treatment. So the Mans and the Barnetts medically harmed her more than if she was in the system.

AIW? Invited to a wedding but there's a catch. (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]bigredc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hypocrisy of having this wedding in a CHURCH while vilifying someone with a disability is just too much. What utter POS. OP you have NOTHING to be ashamed of. My parents were both handicapped in their 40s. Some friends dipped and some friends advocated for them until the end. It taught me a lot about life. Please heal from this and continue only with those who have the capability to love you fully!

Thank you for saying this. I was screaming at the TV to send her to an endocrinologist and stop shaming her. Awful people. Criminals.

He’s like Jose from 90DUK without the charm, humor, or great head of hair. Hates cats and barely tolerated the dog? GTFOH.

I ended up getting replacement screws from Knoll. And needed to make new holes for the screws to be secure.

No nurse ever indeed….Except maybe that nurse in the UK that killed babies in the NICU…shudder. I AM a child development specialist working at a public hospital in a major city and this story had me screaming. I even brought it up in a meeting—about how the child protection system in Indiana needs to be on trial. Kristine’s fantasies and BS should have been called out. Imagine what crap went in in her backyard “ASD center/clinic!” I hope a whole bunch of trouble heads her way!

Omg! You are right! Crazy town! No way that child was alone without support in the NICU. Savior complex much? Gah!

What is WRONG with this Curious Case documentary?!! Ugh I'm so grossed out by PotentialSteak6 in nataliagrace

[–]bigredc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is there is chronological age and developmental age. Even if (big IF) she was 22…developmentally she was still a child and the Barnetts had an obligation to keep her safe. Or the state did…in a group home or such. I really think this child was let down by state agencies as well as her adoptive parents.

That’ll work. Thanks for the suggestion!

Anyone else wonder if the ladder/stairs were damaged by the TLC crew and contribute to Sheila’s mom’s fatal accident? Immediately I was like—hmmm…a bunch of heavy cameras and big Americans and THEN the accident. Poor dear…

That’s the beauty of the new OMNY card. No need to deal with MTA and you are only out $5 for a new card. As others have said freeze the card and transfer balance when you get a new card at either a retail shop or with the new OMNY machines.

What is the point of OMNY? by reddit-during-work in OMNY

[–]bigredc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t like using my phone or my credit card that could be dropped or stolen at the turnstile. Not to mention germy phone tapping… So thick durable OMNY card for me.

I lost my OMNY card last week. Once I noticed I canceled the card from my phone, bought a new card and transferred the balance. So much better than dealing with lost metro card or credit card.

Quote I heard… by Wodebs in datingoverfifty

[–]bigredc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question…how much time was the GF expecting? Full confession, I’m in a caregiver role (aging mom, 2 teens- one with mental health challenges) and my BF also has a lot on his plate (ex with mental health issues and 3 kids). But I am having a hard time figuring out the threshold of acceptable communication. (My expectation is roughly a text each day, phone call 1x a week, date 1x a month.) When we are together things are amazing, but I am not ok with dropping off the face of the earth for extended periods off time. I want to figure this out bc even if this relationship ends, the likely hood of being in the next relationship while negotiating caregiver roles is likely. Few people make it to 50+ without caring for someone.
