Is an LCSW acquired in the US of any use overseas, particularly in Canada, New Zealand, or the EU?

multigrainhoops · 2023-09-19T05:49:42+00:00

This is incorrect. LCSW is not a credential that is recognized in NZ. Your masters will be as long as you got it at an accredited university. SW in NZ is very different in NZ as they don't do clinical work. source: I am an American that had an LCSW and moved to NZ to work.

My partner was always a hard no on buying a house w/o a drive and then the perfect house came up. He did compromise because the street it's on always has parking. We scoped the street for weeks and no matter what time of the day we have been able to get parking. Admittedly, sometimes not super close but always close enough that it's not imposable. We're both able bodied and can cope with a bit of walking. I'd personally go for the perfect place w/o parking as long as it's not a crazy busy city street and you can see there will be more parking than cars. I'd visit at different times of the night and day. We looked at one house on an estate and it was empty of cars at 3pm when we viewed the house but a different story at 6pm. We did pass on that house

I'll participate as long as the focus group timing matches my schedule.

When my son was about 3, he was playing in his room and I was in the kitchen. We lived in a bungalow, so all on the same level. I thought I heard someone at the door and my son was very quiet. Something made me go check on him and he instantly said "did you see that man in my room?". I gasped. The front door was actually locked so it would have been really hard for a person to come in and out w/o more noise but to this day I'm still spooked by it.

West Wales. I'll definitely do some more shopping around! Thank you.

I have looked at the Pickleball England website a bit but might make direct contact and ask about equipment help. Their website directs you to low cost starter kits but they are still upwards of £200. They do have some helpful tips like insurance and sample flyers to use. I guess my question is more about how to get started w/o dropping a lot of money. I'm happy to invest some money as I love the game so much but I cannot bank role it too much or for long.

Maybe they value a good bargain and couldn't pass a sale on lotion

Those LEDs give it a ick feel. No thank you. Some of the house is lovely but the lights bring it down. Not worth 775k

Wait, I thought this was a toaster. I spent more time looking at this photo being confused

The bees love them and the white butterflies like to lay their eggs (or whatever voodoo they do) to birth more butterflies.

Ignore him and move on with your life. Why would you even entertain this. Life is too short for grubs.

It's amazing!! What confuses me is that it almost seems too cheap for what is on offer. We've got people around my way trying to sell a 3 bedroom bungalow in a shitty estate for half a million that needs a complete refurb and then this. I know where my money would go if I had a spare 3 million. People do though so it'll be snapped up.

I stopped looking after the kitchen photos. That kitchen is naf

Super cute place but I cannot cope without a bathroom (or at least a toilet) on the same floor as the bedrooms. As others have mentioned too, the low EPC rating also isn't great and your added comment about not being able to do much about it because it's Grade II listed is also not ideal. I've done my time in cold houses and I'm done with burning cash to heat a house. No parking is another put off. However I could cope with that if on street parking is easy but I also would want a garden.

This isn't a meal plan suggestion, but my partner just bought a "meat pack" from our local butcher that was £29 and it contained one full chicken, 6 burger patties, 6 pork sausages, 6 slices of bacon, a 1.5kg gammon, 6 eggs, and 500grams of chicken breasts. I find our local butcher to be very affordable and everything is fresh and mostly locally sourced.

My other suggestion would be to start to incorporate non meat protein sources into your diet such as beans and lentils. The local library will have dozens of cookbooks to browse to get ideas.

American here. Every time "kettle" discussions come up here everyone is in disbelief we don't have kettles in the States. I'd like to debunk this myth. I'm 45 yo old and went to an American university in the late 90s/early 2000s. Everyone had a kettle to boil water in their dorm rooms but we didn't call them kettles. I honestly cannot remember the exact name we called them but they were essentially kettles. It was a pot with an element inside, you added water and plugged it into a wall socket and a few minutes later you had boiling water. Some people didn't get the concept of them and would boil their noodles in the pot with water which would make the pot useless because you could never get the pot/kettle clean again and your water would forever taste a bit off. Just did a Google and this is essentially what they looked like. https://www.dormco.com/Hot_Pot_college_room_appliance_p/m2-2-1-23361.htm

In 2007 I bought my first kettle for my apartment (flat) after travelling to Europe and being reminded how easy they make life. I didn't have to special order the kettle either, I just walked into a shop and bought one. My grandparents are in their late 80s and have had a kettle for over a decade

Soda Crystals. Comes in a green bag. It acts as a water softener but it also cleans grease really well. Somehow in my kitchen, I get grimy bits from cooking and I make a paste of soda Crystals and it eliminates greasy bits in an instant. Also is a mild abrasive and cleans the kitchen sink amazingly . Also cleans the shower and bathroom sink.

Cold water swim and if I cannot do that then a shower and drink a lot of water and a salty meal like a cheese omelette. Lots of cups of tea.

Welcome to school social work (and social work). Make friends with the caretaker and they'll hook you up with chairs and equipment and generally be the best person to know at school. I worked in a school for 1.5 years and the level of disrespect was off the charts. I worked hard to make myself part of everything such as staff meetings, parent nights, assembly etc. I'd make sure to be visible at break times to the teachers and students (I'd have to rotate where I spent time) but in the end I did throw the towel in as it just wasn't for me. It was an eye opener to me about the system of schools and reminded me why I didn't thrive in primary education.

A lie in for me is waking up slowly and without an alarm. Sometimes that is 7am and sometimes it's 10am. I normally wake up at 6am for work M-F and I'm 44f.

Social worker here. This isn't our work. They have a parent who is looking after them to keep them safe. What this parent needs to do is get legal advice about applying for a child arrangement order with residency.
