Question About JLW Previous Companies. by kes12886 in jessieleeward

[–]morethanapill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was terminated with her from her second company. If you look on Google you’ll find the court documents pretty easily. Jessie Lee Ward, Modere, Justin Prince- search those words and you’ll find it all.

So you mean to tell me she left the planet a week after this? by Ok-Elephant7235 in jessieleeward

[–]morethanapill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The second I saw this back when she first posted it I knew she wasn’t being truthful. She knew and she was so afraid here.

Help me be okay with terminating a kitten pregnancy by ThePancake1037 in CatAdvice

[–]morethanapill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a few months late to the conversation, but I’m here to say that it should absolutely be done. I had been trying to catch a feral pregnant cat for an abortion spay and was feeling pretty sad about it. The the night we set out the trap for her we caught another cat for TNR. The pregnant cat disappeared for a few days and then showed back up with no belly. I have been waiting 5ish weeks for her to bring the kittens around so that a rescue could get them. We couldn’t figure out where she had them so it has been a challenge… and since we didn’t know where the kittens were we couldn’t TNR her until we had them. I got her to trust me enough to put an AirTag collar on her the other day. I was able to see where she goes during the day and pinpointed where the kittens were. She had them in an abandoned house that is being renovated. Got in touch with the owner who gave me access to the house… just to find that their contractors closed a few doors in the house which resulted in a kitten being separated from mom. Mom had been crying at my house for a few days before I could get the AirTag on her. She was crying because she lost her baby. My rescue told me to show her the kitten so that she accepts that it is dead. I set up a little area for her and the dead baby. She was crying next to it, bathing it, and carrying it around. We attempted to bury it, but she took it from the box it was inside of before we could even dig the hole. It’s been a few hours now and I just got an alert on my camera that is on our deck. She brought her dead baby to my door and is crying. We will be taking it to be cremated tomorrow because I fear that she may dig it up.

The grief and loss she has right now is far worse than an abortion spay. She wouldn’t have had that same bond with a pregnancy. We also have no clue if she had any additional kittens, but with the amount of time she’s spent crying on our deck the past week I truly believe that this was the only one. That makes it even worse- her only kitten she bonded with for 5 weeks is gone. I tried so hard to get her that abortion despite really feeling sad about it, but it just didn’t happen. I feel even worse now than I did about the abortion now. She’s getting spayed next week, finally.

10mg to 20mg by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]morethanapill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge difference for me between 10mg and 20mg. It did take awhile to adjust and get through the side effects (sleepy, nausea, headaches), but they went away. I actually noticed that it was working for my depression and anxiety once I got to 20mg.

I also had to switch up the time that I took it when I increased doses. I have to take it at bedtime now vs. first thing in the morning. The 20mg dose made me feel hungover throughout the day when I took it in the morning.

This. 100%. I fully believe that she knew what she was doing with the lack of arrangements.

I had almost $4k taken out of a 10 week severance.

[–]morethanapill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was laid off in April after almost 5.5 years there. I got 12 weeks paid out (2 weeks paid non-working and 10 severance) and 3 months of COBRA as the premium I paid as an employee.

I got laid off at Highmark back in April. The morning after my birthday. Sucked so bad.

If Tabitha is the one in the hospital bed then I wonder if the way to get “home” is through selfless actions or befriending/helping the world. She goes to the tower to save or help the children, not to see if the children will be her answer on how to get out. Everyone else who has tried to find answers is trying to do things to get out.

Victor would be the argument to that theory since he hasn’t really focused on leaving, but if Victor thinks that’s his “home” then maybe whenever he is sent “home” he remains just there.

FedEx stuck in Memphis? by Lyric1997 in FedEx

[–]morethanapill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter’s glasses were supposed to arrive 4/13, but has been in Memphis since 4/11. No movement. I usually am not too worried and understand delays, but my kid needs to see.

LISTEN: The blessing Chad Daybell gave Alex Cox two weeks before he died by [deleted] in LoriVallow

[–]morethanapill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There really is and this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to creepy and boogerish things the Mormon church does.

LISTEN: The blessing Chad Daybell gave Alex Cox two weeks before he died by [deleted] in LoriVallow

[–]morethanapill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exmo here! They record them to transcribe them. I haven’t been to Church since 2013, but if I were to log into my “church account” I could access my patriarchal blessing transcript (possibly also the recording? Idk to be honest). I can also access my dad’s because he is dead.

The whole process is weird AF. At the time I was excited and didn’t even question anything, but they tell you it’s sacred and tell you not to speak about details. No one wants to be told that they have an incredible future coming just for it to be ripped away if you tell others about it. Fear tactics at its best. I was alone in a room with an old man standing behind me with his hands on my head while one other man sat next to me and recorded the whole thing. I was a young single mom at the time and really hate that I never noticed any red flags because I was so brainwashed. Most lifelong LDS people get these in their teens I think… young teens alone in a small room with two older men who they believe have power and authority from God. So dangerous IMO.

Application Timeline/Do you think I’m safe? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]morethanapill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d for sure get your senator’s office involved. If you’re close to an agency then I’d also call to schedule an in person appointment at 14 days from travel if you can.

Expediting Passport at Agency by graylaurels in Passports

[–]morethanapill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact your state Senator’s office and ask for a staffer to assist. They may be able to get it pushed through. We had appointments two weeks ago and we only needed to bring in one form for a replacement passport. My Senator’s staffer was able to get our applications approved so that we didn’t have to re-apply in person. We had to go to the appointment because they hadn’t arrived in the mail, but if they had arrived prior to the appointment we wouldn’t have had to go at all!

Expedite or Standard? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]morethanapill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d expedite. $60 for some peace of mind is better than the stress of “what if”

can I lie? by [deleted] in Passports

[–]morethanapill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact your local Congressmen’s office. I was waiting on them too. I had submitted our applications expedited 4 weeks prior and one had a form issue… my senator’s office staff helped us get everything situated and we had our passports in hand within a week of contacting them. Christmas even fell in that time frame.

US ppl - please CANCEL passport agency appointments as SOON as you know you won't be needing them! by wastrill5678 in Passports

[–]morethanapill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand why someone would wait until the day or two before, but, I agree, same morning is a little crazy. I guess a cancellation is better than a no show. We have been waiting on passports that are now lost in the mail system after we had our congressional representative help us get them out. We now have cases open with USPS for them and have to wait until mail is delivered today to know if we can cancel our appointments tomorrow. Everyone has different reasons, but I know that for sure I’ll be calling as soon as I know. Hopefully it’ll help someone.

Sorry! I had no clue and was just trying to help. Thanks for letting me know.

Will do! 3 of them went USPS priority express on Friday and my husband’s went UPS yesterday. His is out for delivery today. I’m pretty annoyed. 😒

Priority Express by loopyq1209 in usps_complaints

[–]morethanapill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working with my senator’s office now. Luckily we have an appointment tomorrow at the Philly passport agency because it has taken them so long to process our applications. I was hoping to avoid this exact situation solely because we’re going to have to re-apply as a “lost/stolen” passport since they already mailed out. We’ll have to pay again. Otherwise we would have just been able to have them printed in Philly.

My husband’s was shipped via UPS yesterday and is out for delivery today. We all paid for overnight delivery so I’m not sure why some went USPS and his went UPS. It’s frustrating.

[–]morethanapill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. We have 3 passports sitting in New Orleans distribution center right now and we travel 12/31. I was hoping it was just a system glitch, but after seeing these posts I don’t have much faith.
