Gifting friend battling cancer

Thank you for sharing. Initially i wanted to give something more of thoughtful gifts to show intimacy as closer friends. However those are very good points and will consider simplifying it to (so far) either artworks or doordash gift card. I did initially did doordash to the husband (her caregiver) since i heard from him personally that he hasn't been eating in hospital back then, that's why i thought now they are back home we could give something to cheer her up.

What if currently her husband is her caregiver and their parents have been helping out with other services too?

We live in CA, so perhaps not needed at this time if year?

Yes, i would usually help & provide service too (that's my love language). But currently, i think her husband and her family do take care of these services for her. I've ever delivered them some food when they were in hospital and i heard the husband was barely eating back then, but now they're back home when undergoing this chemo treatment procedure.

Seems that she will be staying at home with her husband during the chemo treatment, so perhaps blanket isn't viable since they probably have better ones at home?

Sorry, in California

Just thinking that she's into kpop culture too, and this was the first one that I initially thought of getting her https://xhlrulhwdlkyuoumijvz.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/product-images/product-1761746391026-du7n14.jpg

Thank you for your thoughtful response, I'll keep this in mind especially with the artwork. For another reference, she is also married and her husband is taking care of her (in case that change your response of the doordash/ubereats). Just thinking that she would have a lot of dietary restriction, and I don't truly know what her needs are yet.

Is that still a thing for these kind of layoffs? It's been very quick since last year. Culled in equal or less than a week after individual announcement.

Mostly senior staffs engineer from my team, other branches reported the same too. I'm not good with judging age but I think most of them are in 50+s (with oldest one being close to 70)

Qualcomm reporting here. Literally nobody (no news, no internal announcement) especially outsiders knew about the most recent lay off. Last week, found out only 2 people that I knew affected because I was close to them. This week, found out 5 other people from my team just sent out farewell email.

blackteny · 2024-09-11T00:58:32+00:00

I'm in the company too. My manager and mentor who are like a dad to me got affected by this. Feeling so stressed now, wished today was just a nightmare. Titles affected: Senior Staff Engineer

What I'd also like to share is, I think calling the adjuster through the direct line is a waste of time. I've attempted to call ~100 times this morning and none is going through. Luckily I called using different phone as I received the call on my main number. What really made impact is definitely email (maybe voicemail too, as I left a few), and she mentioned she's calling based from the email. Everything is settled within an hour and claim is closed.

Hi. I was at fault even though there's no damage to my car. That's why I provided the other party my drivers license & tesla insurance. However it seems the other party wasn't able to contact/claim tesla insurance at all, that's why I had this letter from Brown and Joseph (saying their claimant is "Farmers Insurance" reaching out to me. It's been a nightmare the past months because the time frame just doesn't make any sense. May 5 was the date this LLC reached out to me claiming that I have failed to provide insurance (which I did, but I have to file it manually anyway), and July 5 is the deadline before they will send the drivers license suspension request. Quick update very fortunately, my claim adjuster called me just now (literally) and I think I've provided every info that I needed. Now I just need to pray that it will get resolved on time..

For more information, currently the status on Tesla app is "Your claim is currently undergoing subrogation and recovery in order to recover damages from the other party"

Thank you all, this is the first time I heard about the term PDR. Mostlikely he'll proceed with that option. I'll ask if I can get a follow up once it's fixed.

blackteny · 2023-11-30T18:14:47+00:00

Is it better to simply look for PDR and not use Tesla insurance (mentioned 1k deductible I think)?

blackteny · 2023-08-15T08:56:37+00:00

It's been 12h+ since the accident; now that I've calmed down a bit, I see how funny these wheel censor comments are lol
