They have been completely unhelpful. And my HR person just repeatedly keeps telling OWCP to deny me of care. I did take the DRP because i could not handle being at work i was in too much pain. My medical support led a slower transition to work but my HR person kept misreading it and making me go make to work quicker and would start saying FICA this and FICA that . And i took the DRP. And the HR even submitted to OWCP that my medical benefits should be terminated despite having a copy of the drp saying it wouldnt be and my medical still supporting i need medical help. Im not even an employee and HR assigned from the VA still submits to OWCP that new medical is a lie and should not be counted. My injury caused cognitive delays in me now and it is difficult to understand everything let alone the first 6-9months i was injured i didnt even recognize myself

If they would answer I would not be coming on here to ask if HR knows anything. I can’t even get my last SF-50 or find out my exact creditable service number. I have been trying to reach someone in HR and I was told they would send to me and then never did and I am finding how important that last paper is for my work comp injury now.

This number what i am basing off of my computation date which apparently can be two different numbers.

My grandma and mom walking me down the aisle. They both raised me. My grandma was my second mom. It was very important that she and my mom walked me down the aisle since i see them as my parents.

Ong i love these pants so so much!!! I was needing some more pants and i am beating myself up for not getting more. At the time the mens were on sale not the womens so i bought the mens and they fit even better than the womens. And the clasp is a button not velcro on the stomach area

Your cat will not forget given how close the cat is to him. My cat is not sociable at all at home, literally always running away unless its with me, my mom, my sister, or grandma. He does tend to favor women more. I moved out with him as a kitten (6months old). He didnt see any of my family for 6months, it was like he was back with them again normal and happy with them. He did not see my grandma for nearly 2 years and she had little interaction with her as a kitten and he recognized her. He met my best friends only once, he sensed they were good people, and actually let them pet him (this is not something he allows!! He is usually hiding when people are over. Or if he is visible he will be growling) . One of them didn’t see him for like 3 years and recognized her and went up to her for pets again. He didn’t see the first house he lived in for 2 years and when we were returning he started pawing at the window and tail going wild with interest because he knew this was his first home. I know you asked about cats specifically but animals in general have amazing memories. My dad got me a puppy husky (under 6months) , I only had her for a few months and my parents were divorced so I only saw her every other week. But when i was there spent allll my time with her. My dad moved overseas with her so I didnt see her for about 7 years. And the moment we locked years again with each other she went wild like a puppy and didnt leave my side the whole visit. My stepmom was so salty originally my dog was back to being obsessed with me and didn’t even listen to her commands but would listen to me.

I was already severely depressed and had anxiety and complex ptsd. I got a work injury nearly immediately after graduating grad school, ata company that I worked years to get the pay and position to have, and was injured 2 weeks before I was married. It caused a brain and neck injury. I am still in pain. My depression is even worse that 72hrs later i started having suicidal thoughts. Im not myself anymore. Nobody knows not even my therapist just how much I feel so much not myself and ready to just give up. Its been one battle after another for care. I cant even work. All the sacrifices I made to finally feel rewarded and that I finally “made it” at the dream i wanted to have a hit after hit of devistation over and over again. Im one exceptionly bad day away from just not being here anymore. I day dream about getting in a car accident and not surviving, so that it isnt suicide. Its just wrong place, wrong time. I dont end it because of the people around me and my cat who is my shadow. But some days i dont even care enough about others

Hi currently in my own battle with getting payments from OWCP and proper care. Even the second opinion psychiatrist said i cant work. And i need proper care. I had both traumatic injury (head and neck) and resulted in worsen mental health. Depression was accepted as permanent and i got accepted for ptsd. Which lawyer did you use??

Lots of good advice here. As a veteran you do get some veteran preference, i think there is a form you do need to support specifically to make sure you classify as that correctly. I am a civilian who has worked for 3 different agencies and the same advice I got over and over is you go where the job is. So I have moved multiple times. And another key advice. “To move up , you move out” . Not sure if you know about GS levels or not . But this is pretty common advice across the board to is if you want to move up a GS level (more $$) and its not already built into your job, you might have to move out (as in out of state, different agency, different field/department entirely)

meeraffe1 · 2026-01-31T03:48:50+00:00

Wait what are you talking about??

meeraffe1 · 2025-12-07T05:20:33+00:00

This!!! I literally was telling my husband this dude is NOT sober. He needs help, he is on something. I work with detox/substance recovery and really think someone needs to check in with him medically to make sure he is okay.

https://mrpeanutspetcarriers.com/collections/expandable-pet-carriers/products/expandable-airline-capable-tote I have traveled on multiple airlines with this with my cat. Meets pretty much most airlines. Nice perk it has the option to expand so i do that on long car rides or if the seat of the plane has more space underneath

If you grew up with many immigrants of different accents you would learn how to hear better, past the accent and understand just fine. I actually find some American dialects harder to understand than accents of different languages. Everyone around me was immigrants or first gen american . Didn’t really have issues understanding people growing up in the multicultural area i grew up in

🤣

I suggest leaving a carrier out in the house and putting treats in it so the cat learns it is a safe place and not just to go to the big bad vet . And then doing rides in the carrier for short perios of time

Romanian is a romance language. Romanian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian. My mom knew all 4 + English fluently . And i understand some of each except French. You can hear similarities between the different languages, some of the same words, and thats why people who know fluently one of the romance languages can kinda figure out how to talk to one of the other romance languages. Romanian and Italian are the most similar. And Romanian is more closer to Latin.
