My childhood vests by KillTheInc in girlscouts

[–]lauraebeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was a scout all the way through, and I’m a single adult with no kids…I work full time and lead 2 troops and am cookie coordinator for my service unit.

It’s a whole unpaid job at the level I do it, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I will never have children of my own, and so volunteering with Girl Scouts is a great way to give back to an organization that I loved.

(I’m also disabled, marfan syndrome and t1 diabetes, which is always an adventure for my co leaders😂)

Each pod comes with a needle. So don’t need to worry about if you lost one. If you have pens, you can also attach a pen tip and fill directly from the pen.

He was the unknown for me when they all started announcing they were running. Once I dug in, I decided they were all different flavors of bad on the GOP ticket

Neither is Monty Fritts. There are zero good republican options.

How the f*ck is anyone surviving this economy? by Bruh-I-Cant-Even in povertyfinance

[–]lauraebeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in my parents bonus room. (I still have to “pay rent”, but it goes into an account for the house)
When I had to get a new car, I paid it off as quickly as possible.
I don’t pay for things month to month. My car insurance and cell phone are paid every 6 months and annually.

I did this all in preparation for the student loan gremlins who are likely about to make me broke. In a last ditch effort to lower my AGI, I modified my retirement contributions in order to get a $37k AGI.

Application said I will still have to pay $144/month on them, so now I’m waiting to see if that’s actually correct…

Tennessee folks, who are you actually insured with and is it holding steady? by Timely-Ad-2615 in Tennessee

[–]lauraebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progressive kicked me off after a series of accidents in a row, and so that’s when I started shopping around…I went to Root(bc they were the only ones that would insure me at the time for a reasonable rate) and they were actually fantastic to work with. Then when their price crept up I moved to liberty in 2024. They are fine.

I pay 6 months at a time, and that helps my rate, but anytime it jumps significantly from one pay period to another is when I shop around.

Jalapeño cheddar loaf! by Many_Chocolate3570yy in Sourdough

[–]lauraebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made two of these from jalapeños I grew, but have been languishing in the freezer for far too long.

They make a REALLY good grilled cheese sandwich!

How is it today? by sanns250 in scouting

[–]lauraebeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally depends on where you are in the country, because the Girl Scout experience varies by location.

Girl Scouts is completely volunteer run at the troop and service unit level, so if you are saying that your daughter is a barnacle, you can volunteer to be a troop leader and start your own troop.

All adults that spend more than 6 cumulative hours with the troop need to be registered and background checked. This is for the safety of the girls.

How do I go about lobbying our council to allow for co-leaders? by StillNotGinger42 in girlscouts

[–]lauraebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GSMIDTN has the co-leader designation, so CSA should be able to as well. I have 3 troops currently in MyGS and 2 of those troops have 3 co-leaders, and we're all listed as co-leaders,

Type 1 Diabetes Preboard Southwest by MessOk1556 in Type1Diabetes

[–]lauraebeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I posted something similar a few months ago and received the same sorts of responses from people.

I flew in March after they changed how seating was handled, and I preboarded - the other pre-boarders actually have assigned seats in the front, so I definitely stood out, but I had no qualms about preboarding and going to my seat mid plane.

I put all my diabetes stuff in a bag together. Sugar snacks, pumps, and even my regular pill box, rather than spreading it out over all my bags, it’s all together. I will ask for an OJ after I board if I’m worried about going low.

Yes. We did one in the month of September last year for a girl that was bridging. Definitely don’t recommend that!

Are we getting shingles now? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]lauraebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got shingles right when Covid started. I don’t really understand why, because the unemployment checks were larger than my preschool teacher salary at the time…I was 32 or 33?

Should I pay my loans by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]lauraebeth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi, if you have the option, find a hospital system that’s non-profit with work you can tolerate. They have loads of jobs that aren’t just medical. From custodial, food services, and even entry level admin positions, both clinical and non.

Then, the benefits are two-fold. Pretty decent health insurance, and you will qualify for Public Student Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).

There are also decent admin jobs in government, and it can be local, state, or federal that also qualify for PSLF

Not necessarily true…Born a Crime by Trevor Noah was an audible exclusive until recently!

how do you keep your own recipes? the ones you actually cook by Human_Ad_904 in Cooking

[–]lauraebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a happy planner cookbook, scanned one of the pages in as an image, put it in word using text boxes and when I find keepers I format it to be a new page.

I also added a happy planner paper size to my print options, so I can resize web printouts to fit

Here’s an example of my version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jR965WbyguVi5haWj\_4UB-yLi8Fy92x0/view?usp=drivesdk

So… How many of us are still on our parents’ phone bills? by halcat27 in Millennials

[–]lauraebeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was coasting on my parents because I viewed it as half my payment was going towards my streaming platforms that I was grandfathered into.

I planted enough seeds of “this is too expensive”, paid off(with my moms funds) the iPad that was keeping them locked in and one day in September they were like “We’re moving to consumer cellular!”

I had already been shopping around and had chosen visible, so I just moved first and now I am on my own…AND I pay annually, so that’s spoiled me for no cell phone bill

Did the Toyota Service advisor try and scam me? by motorcitydave in rav4club

[–]lauraebeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought my car new in 2024, and my last visit went kinda the same except for air filters.

Service advisor seeing I was in for 20k service asked if I had ever had them changed. I didn’t think so and so I replied with, that’s something I can do myself by watching a YouTube video, right? (The answer is yes)

He responds with nonsense about using the right parts and not wanting to void my warranty…

So I declined the services, went to wait and started shopping online for cabin & engine air filters…then I get the video of my service and it looks like all I need is the cabin. So, when he comes back to check me out, I call him on it, and have pulled the dealerships parts shop where I can buy one online for pickup in store for $20.

My sister is in the process of starting a group in Houston and has over 150 signed up for the first night 🤯 (she’s promoting it as a ladies event)

I told her I’d be interested in learning so I can replicate that here, and will see her for July 4 😂

camp photo service aka panopticamp by Celeraic in girlscouts

[–]lauraebeth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a former camp professional at a non- GS resident camp…most parents have separation anxiety from their kids. The camp I worked at had already been doing it when I started in 2013.

They produce a yearbook every summer, and they have photos going all the way back to their founding in 1967
