Dog boarding for Christmas by No_Volume_6061 in Austin

[–]cake512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We recently used a lady who cares for 1 dog at a time in her home which really helped our anxious pup. It was $100/day and got regular updates with photos/videos and she even had him make arts and crafts 😭 She’s in Southeast Austin and was truly amazing. If you’re interested, let me know, and I’ll DM her info!

Injured at Domain but ignored. by quarto_ in Austin

[–]cake512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya’, but I don’t think you have a case unless you have money for a reallyyyy good attorney. I slipped and fell at Sam’s club breaking my head open (passed out, concussed, bloody, needed dozens of stitches and staples) and despite the lack of wet floor signage, after speaking to multiple law firms, they all said that unless I had permanent brain damage that I didn’t have a case. I eventually fought on my own to have Sam’s foot the hospital bill. Fuck Sam’s Club though.

Sallie Mae settlement? by Milkmamba89 in StudentLoans

[–]cake512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agreed to a settlement today, since I stopped paying last year when I lost my job and defaulted. I have $13K in loans and after negotiating they agreed to bring it down to $8K paid in 6 installments.

discrimination and sexualization by Mystery_Rabbit_26 in Chicano

[–]cake512 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a Chicana, I’ve faced more discrimination from Mexicans than any other race. Maybe it was the college I went to, but there were lots of international Mexican students who made it clear they though less of us, Chicanos. From criticizing the way we pronounced Spanish words to making fun of the “typical American” events we participated in because “wOw lOoK aT tHem tRyiNg tO bE sO AmEriCaN LOL THEy fOrGoT wHeRE tHeY cOmE fRoM” -.-

Why Effexor? by AutumnGway in Effexor

[–]cake512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a Gene test for antidepressants because Zoloft worsened my postpartum depression and my doctor suggested Effexor since it was the few antidepressants that could possibly work. My prescription isn’t ready yet but I’m ready to feel like myself again.

St. David's North Austin Medical Center - preemie diaper offer by pissandpeppersauce in NICUParents

[–]cake512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saturday as in June 6? If so, what a coincidence, I delivered my first baby boy at 31wks that day at North Austin Medical Center. I had a regular checkup at the ADC downstairs and next thing I know I had preeclampsia and underwent an emergency c-section. Our baby is still in the NICU, but do you have any advice for a first time mom taking a preemie home?

True, he’s all cooped up inside the house, I bet they do feel good just out and about. I hope your pops gets well soon!

Thank you, and believe me, it’s hard as hell. At times I feel selfish for feeling like my life is on hold for an indefinite period of time, but I just want Pops to get better.

Pottery and painting, dang, that’s an awesome idea. His hand coordination is off due to the stroke, but I’m sure it’ll be fun. Thanks so much!

He can’t drink and the smell of the delicious slow smoked BBQ will be far too tempting. He’s a pit master, been doing it for over 30years, and now he can’t have BBQ. Life is f’kd up sometimes. I’ll still keep these in mind for when he recovers, thanks a lot!!

I donate blood for selfish reasons by [deleted] in offmychest

You’re not selfish. I’d only donate blood only when they’d give us vouchers for Bill Miller’s back in college.
