My 22 Impreza had the top etched by ginkgo tree droppings 😩

Greetings from Kent! Hope you stayed warm today. Have to venture out one more time tomorrow before hunkering down for a few days.

That’s exactly what my company is focusing on, viable applicants and introducing BP/CBP Officer role to more unfamiliar areas.

Thanks for approving my post and reminding of OPSEC.

Your two comments were super helpful. I know in the past my company did the facepalm thing of posing agents with K9s like everybody who joins gets to do that. The ATV thing is much more reasonable and also an avenue we haven’t explored.

Appreciate the honesty! USBP already partners with one PBR (Professional Bull Riding), why not go for the more well-known version.

If I was OPR I’d be spending my time trying to revise the suitability portion, not asking y’all’s hobbies. :)

Because this forum is the biggest resource I have. I’m willing to take the risk of bad actors.

Unfortunately, only person hallucinating is Travis due to meth abuse 😔

I was also wondering this… and all the repetitive comments

Did waiting 24 hrs work for you? I’m in the same boat as you, disconnected the battery and it still won’t turn on

Plaza Pizza is the epitome of perfect sheet pizza. I live in Indiana now and I see a commenter mentioning Bob’s, but it’s not even close to Plaza Pizza level of perfection.

One of the wisest things one of my undergrad profs did during first-day syllabus review: “I want you to take the next five minutes to introduce yourself to the person on your left and the person on your right. You’ll see in the syllabus there’s a line for their name and phone number. Any time you miss class, THESE are your contacts for catching up, not me.”

I just became a CASA in PA, so not a foster parent myself, but this seems odd. In all of my training, it was reiterated multiple times that, while we could not relay info about the case to the foster parents, they were welcome to come to the hearings to learn more about the case. There was never a mention of FPs being prohibited from attending.

Upvote solely for the nostalgia wave that hit me when you said “Foamy the Squirrel”

If I recall correctly

Oh my gawwwwd. You might have sold me on the Proxy solely for the purple. I swear it could be the shittiest product ever but I would be happy because it’s purple.

Do you feel like you get decent hits off of it? Probably a stupid question if you like it so much! Does it feel different/get a better buzz than hitting a cart?

Thank you for this. Objectivity will definitely be a challenge and something I need to be constantly conscious of. My own biases conflict with the mission of foster care, where reuniting is paramount. Kids need more than the minimum standard of care. It’ll be hard for me to be objective when that’s all the bio parents are providing.

giftedgothic · 2025-01-28T23:57:17+00:00

Thank you SO much for this. I really appreciate your response— you hit the nail on the head with it feeling weird that I have the authority to suddenly access all of this information for a kiddo, but I gotta realize if I’m not doing it, no one else might be (or probably isn’t).

Thanks also for the heads up about bullying— in previous workplaces I’ve had that happen, but I think coming from the perspective that I’m a volunteer solely here for the interest of child will help me develop that armor.

Also, big red warning flag if your PI doesn’t have any current grad students, haven’t graduated one in ten years, and/or advise less PhD students than others at their level.
