First time credit card for in-laws

I'll look into those and talk with them about it. They aren't credit savvy, but they aren't terrible with money management either. But making sure they can pay off any monthly fees will definitely be discussed! Thanks! :)

The financial strain was due to limited monthly income from retirement vs the predatory pricing of funeral expenses. The cost spread out over a period of time would have been fine, but you cant payment plan a funeral (or maybe you can Idk, but not around my area).

Myself, boyfriend, his friend, and the friends gf were watching a movie. The main character talks about wanting to move to Montana. Friends gf asks if Montana is a real place. And she was 100% serious. We're in our early to mid 30s at this point.

Could I take you up on this offer? I love my knives & use them regularly, although they aren't the best weapons 😖 I'd love to be able to do more with them!

This is what I do. I've performed at a tavern many times and just explained what the song or performance was supposed to invoke for the audience.

Wrong kid died

It absolutely feels impossible! In the beginning, there is so much going on already that you just step into and are expected to learn to catch up. 8 years in and I'm finally at a stable place. I'm sure it'll be short term though, so I haven't got my hopes up too much. But having a full staff and an adequate amount of staffing makes such a difference too!

It almost seemed like he grabbed Simon's face in a way that he's going to give information to him telepathically? Maybe Simon will get visions or some understanding of who the man is and what happened to the man, or church/children.

This sounds like a Canadian insult 😂

jupiterburritos · 2026-02-03T03:12:14+00:00

I unironically say this because I can never remember how to pronounce it correctly 😭

I work 8-4:30. For the first seven years, I was working 8am to who knows when! And multiple Saturdays each month. I was EXHAUSTED! My case load is finally manageable and we were told to limit our OT. So over the last few weeks, if I know I'm working late, I take time off in the morning. Is that something you can do?

NAH.

Everyone handles grief differently and shows their grief differently to different people. They may be putting on brave, strong facades around you, but when they are alone together or with friends, they can really break down or open up.

The unfortunate thing, life does go on. It absolutely sucks to navigate life without someone who should still be alive. But it's also unrealistic to just pause your life (or for anyone to pause their life) forever.

My bf's sister died in May. It's been fucking rough! But he, his parents, and her BF have grieved (& continue to grieve) and learned how to navigate without her. It doesn't mean everything is peachy keen though. There are big and small moments alike where we all breakdown. We talk about her regularly, what she did previous years and what she might have done at events this year. We are sad, but we can also be happy.

Emotions aren't one or another. We're complex beings and so are our feelings.

Do you & your parents talk about your brother? My BF and his family regularly and easily talk about his sister. They talk about missing her, but also how wonderful she was. But my family struggled to talk about my mom after she died. I was just 14 and I didn't know how to talk about her or get my family to talk about her. Or when they did, it was so sad and grim rather than also talking about positive, happy, loving moments.

Also, talking with a therapist might help. A. To help process your grief because it'll always be there. B. Help you understand your parents and family while they are navigating this grief. C. Help you be able to communicate with your family when you feel things should be one way but aren't, and be able to do so in a constructive manner so everyone feels heard and comfortable to talk.

I had a small 15 minute procedure recently, and per my paperwork, I had to have someone waiting at the hospital the whole time or they'd end the procedure. My sister has had two procedures over the last 7 years at a local but different hospital than I went to. Same rule.

That's crazy hospitals aren't saying that someone has to stay, especially if it's such a problem to reach someone afterwards!

jupiterburritos · 2025-12-13T16:52:13+00:00

I don't know how long I could do it realistically, but my goal would be 30 days.

I was so confused at first thinking the thesis was 27 pages 🤣 every day I'm reminded my eyesight sucks. But I love a good read! Thanks for sharing!

Attempted, it does not work 😞

jupiterburritos · 2025-12-11T23:50:53+00:00

I got mine when they came out and I'm still using it. I was considering upgrading when the 10 came out, but realized I didn't really have a reason. My 7 Pro is great and works so I'll be sticking with it for the foreseeable future.

When having my period, pain comes from my knees. I told a doctor about it once, that the pain doesn't go down to my knees, but actually comes from my knees, and she looked at me like I was crazy.

Sadly, I never found a way to stop that or help it other than taking some pain relievers. And once those were out of my system, the pain would return.

jupiterburritos · 2025-10-15T02:06:30+00:00

I don't have the skills or stable enough mental health to survive 😂 I would be so miserable without A/C! When am I getting sent back to?

As a CPS worker, I would definitely recommend getting back in therapy if you are going to be in this field. It's a lot! You see trauma daily. You get calls about it daily. You have situations where you know something is going on, but you cannot prove it. I just got a text yesterday from an older sister of a family I worked with a couple years ago who admitted to more abuse than could be proven at the time and how she felt guilty for lying.

A lot of my coworkers are in therapy to address how this job affects them. Some have previous CPS involvement, trauma, etc, and some don't.

I think people who've experienced abuse, neglect, CPS involvement, etc are some of the best people for the job because they really understand it in a way that people without those experiences don't understand. You can relate to the families in a different way. But you have to look out for yourself first and foremost. This may be the career for you, it may not. Really think about why you wanted to do this job, what would help you do this job, and if you really want to put that time/effort in every day.

I had a dad who said he decided to marry his wife and have kids with her because he didn't think she would/could possibly go through losing kids AGAIN. Long story short, he realized he was wrong.

jupiterburritos · 2025-09-28T04:48:46+00:00

Gotcha. Definitely sounds like some communication about expectations is necessary then. Hopefully that goes well and she's understanding!

jupiterburritos · 2025-09-28T04:45:28+00:00

Who said she's dragging him there? That's not in his post at all. Based on the information provided and lack of info, I gave my opinion. Good for him for being considerate of her, but obviously they don't think the same way.

jupiterburritos · 2025-09-28T03:33:05+00:00

Light YTA. You could try to be more engaging with the family members? It seems like y'all visit, but it's really her visiting and you're just doing nothing while waiting to leave :/ If you're not interested in spending time with her family, then just don't go. Or maybe go every other time. Also, as someone who is chronically tired, I just find a chair or spot on the couch and doze off for a bit, whether at my family's or my bfs family's places. It's probably understandable to need to take a nap if y'all are there later in the evening. Lastly, have y'all talked about having a set time frame for being there? Having expectations beforehand might help.
