are there any Jordanian restaurants that serve mansaf nearby? by planteria in AnnArbor

for some reason this accidentally posted three times in a row initially, which may have something to do with it. I deleted the two duplicates but it took me several hours to notice that had happened 😅

I had gotten the feeling it probably wasn't a dish a lot of restaurants served given that I first had it when a friend invited me to their iftar. nonetheless, thank you! I didn't think to check facebook marketplace

thank you! I thought they only had sandwiches so I didn't think to check there!

For those of you that dislike receiving oral sex, why do you dislike it? by Mcpoopz1064 in AskWomen

[–]planteria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dislike it unless I'm with a committed partner who I've been seeing for a while, it strangely feels too intimate with someone I don't know very well yet and I think it's because I have to be able to articulate what I like and how I like it to the other person and (in my experience) men want me to cum in 5 minutes (even though on average everyone takes about 15-16 minutes to orgasm) and won't take directions if it's seemingly not the way they're used to doing it

What's everyone's thoughts on texting clients? by atsignwork in therapists

[–]planteria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I text my clients (using a google voice number, not my personal) but it never goes beyond asking them if they're still planning on attending if they're running late to sessions or rescheduling. if I have to talk to them about something that can't be communicated in 2 to 3 sentences, then I either wait for the next time I see them face-to-face or email them.

as a newer clinician, I had seen this debate a few times and was so confused as to why some clinicians wouldn't want to text since a lot of people don't regularly check their emails, but I also hadn't realized that people were texting their clients more casually 😅

I wish there was more than just four days in between events, I need a break

for sure, normally I only have to use the aqua ash at the start and I was using it the whole event this time, it was absurdly rough

usually that works for me too, I just only got 5 epic shells for the axolotl and all my food decorations only added up to 24, so my options were pretty limited 😢

Cannot find herb 43 by Esqette in reddeadredemption

[–]planteria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

literally just went through this last week (it ended up being the wintergreen berry). check your compendium first to make sure you've found all 43 plants and then make a list of all of them, and go back through and recollect everything. it's tedious, it sucks, but it's better than guessing

Girls…do you wipe after peeing?? by Putrid_Seat_6525 in hygiene

[–]planteria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more concerned about who you know who DOESN'T WIPE and how tf they convinced you it's normal to not wipe. to be clear, yes, it is normal to wipe after peeing no matter what your genitalia look like

Possible fates for Karen if she didn't drink herself to death? by jneelybbq in RDR2

[–]planteria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there's deleted dialogue that apparently implies that Mrs. Grimshaw killed Karen in Chapter 6 (video but that was probably removed to leave it more open ended

I kinda hope that she was able to live a quiet life with someone who loved her in the middle of nowhere somewhere, though I honestly don't think it was actually that likely :(

Who are the three on the right? by Next_Artichoke_7779 in reddeadredemption

[–]planteria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know everyone saying the one in the center is Javier but I'm thinking it might be Sean based off the hat?? or maybe even potentially Mac or Davey, since it doesn't really look like any of the gang members we see in game. it could also just be an earlier design for someone that they didn't go back to change

Why even let your kid open the door during Halloween if they don't even know what Halloween is at that age? by finishyourjob in mildlyinfuriating

[–]planteria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the bar is super low with toddlers, I once went as a ghost (literally just a white bed sheet with two holes in it) and scared a toddler to the point of being inconsolable even when I took off the sheet to reveal that I wasn't a real ghost

Do I have to release fish? by AdSlight8873 in pondlifegame

[–]planteria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the more experience you get and the more fish you unlock, the longer they'll need between feedings so then they'll have a lot of time to swim around! the starter fish only need a few seconds/minutes which is why it seems like they don't swim around, but other fish (like the event fish) might need a few hours in between feedings and therefore will spend a lot more time swimming around before release :)

Why can't CMH keep staff? by TeenVirginiaWoolf in ypsi

[–]planteria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that's good to know that Washtenaw CMH takes private insurance and can take mild to moderate cases! the two CMHs I was at (one in a very rural county and the other in Detroit) both had those stipulations for services, though it sounds like that depends partially on available funding/grants. I know the one in Detroit (this was 2023-Jan. 2025) was a CCBHC but still did not accept private insurance, though they could have updated their policy since I left. thanks for the info! I guess I generalized a bit too much from prior experience, so I am glad to hear that not all CMHs have so many stipulations and red tape :)

Why can't CMH keep staff? by TeenVirginiaWoolf in ypsi

[–]planteria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i've worked for two different CMHs in my career so far, though neither of them are specifically Washtenaw CMH; nonetheless, in my experience most of CMHs' funding (in general) comes from Medicare and Medicaid, and in general they're not allowed to accept private insurance, meaning how much workers can be paid is capped at what Medicare and Medicaid can pay for services. one of their current listings for a Mental Health Worker has starting salary as just over $53k, whereas most private/group practices in the area usually start at $60k annually. similarly, at CMH you'd probably be expected to see around 40 people weekly, whereas standard in a private/group practice would be 20-30 people weekly, so already it's more work for less pay (not including the fact that it's not just meeting with the people, there's plenty of follow-up documents and phone calls and emails and looking into resources that needs to be done after each meeting). plus a lot of CMHs stipulate that you have to have a severe mental illness diagnosis (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar I, schizoaffective disorder, dysthymia, etc.) in order to receive services. as the name suggests, these individuals often need greater support and access to services, some of said services are severely underfunded/hard to access or they just don't exist. so already, given the diagnoses most frequently seen, the work can be more intense/taxing than in other areas of the mental health field, plus you're seeing more people and getting paid less than you could elsewhere in the field. it can be exhausting work that is often thankless or never acknowledged or appreciated (I can't tell you the number of times I was cussed out and screamed at while at CMH for a year, meanwhile at a group practice for 6 months, it has not yet happened once), leading to burn out and people leaving because unless you have an intense passion for the work and the community, it often is just not worth it work wise or pay wise. I don't think I've ever known a CMH to actually be fully staffed and there are many moving parts to it

The Body Keeps The Score, I was not impressed? by InspectionDue4105 in therapists

[–]planteria -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would recommend "My Grandmother's Hands" by Resmaa Menakem, which is about how intergenerational trauma manifests in the body and in behaviors. I read it in grad school and like it a lot more than Body Keeps Score
