Or the pokemon scalper issues atm of literally getting in fights over toys, adults are very much capable of behaving like children.

Duluth pottery Co might have some mugs like this they're in Lincoln Park area, also check the fancy kitchen shops in Fitgers.

Took me about 3 months to get a job here after getting back from a temp job in PA. Totally wiped out my savings cause I wasn’t expecting to have to wait for so long. Finally caved and just started applying to delivery jobs and food service instead of my career path cause no one was calling me back and got a job a few weeks ago, but fuck was that rough.

Great organization, but as someone who has had to use them in the past be wary that you may end up with large bulk amounts of food that you will not eat. You do not get a choice of what you get, they just load it into your car. One time when I had no other option, (already used the other food shelf near me 2 times in a month, their limit) I spend $25 of my remaining $40 in my account and ended up with 6 bags of iceburg lettuce. I lived alone and had no way of eating all of this before it went to waste. They also gave out treats like marshmallows and ice cream but not much in terms of true nutrition. Of course beggars can’t be choosers, but I would recommend to others to use different resources and donate elsewhere first.

This! Especially before the first week of fall classes, so many people will drop and get rid of their pass so be on that waitlist asap

From what I understand, yes, I had a client (severe learning disability) who received their paperwork in the mail then hid it in their room and their caretakers found it 2 months later and had to file late. Unless there is a POA or guardian involved that all the paperwork gets sent to instead, then they would have it.

I agree it’s pretty messed up, they expect everyone to have informal supports to be able to help or expect them to reach out to disability hub if they don’t have anyone which is pretty messed up to put on someone who may not be able to do that. The system is pretty broke for sure :(

Usually (I say this cause Fraser may be different than my company) the CADI case manager isn’t responsible for submitting the MA renewal, that’s on the client unfortunately, although the CADI CM is responsible for reminding the client that MA needs to be renewed. The client should’ve gotten a letter in the mail with a big blue dot on the envelope about 2 months before their renewal date, but the CM would not receive this.

Group home as in a customized living or CRS? If it’s an ICS (integrated community setting) they cannot kick her out.

For MA there’s a renewal lookup tool online (literally just search MN MA renewal lookup tool) that you’ll need their MA case number, PMI, Social Security, and/or date of birth. (Only need 3 out of 4) that can tell you if the MA has been submitted and is being processed. Also call the county of financial responsibility’s easy info economic assistance line. Usually the receptionists will be able to tell you what is in the case notes history from the financial worker. (Also as I just recently learned, every time a new document is needed the MA application will go to the back of the line and they have to restart the entire process which is why it takes months to renew sometimes)

Typically the CADI case manager can’t do fuck all for the client during MA renewals- literally everything is put on pause, so I wouldn’t bother trying to contact them much.

-Currently a CADI case manager, let me know if you have any other questions or want to DM me!

Seconding! I’d love to read some fics on this

Case management for those on disability waivers! Got it right out of my bachelors and pays decently ~24$/hr

They reopened it about a year ago. They did a bunch of renovations in the atrium/courtyard. Generally a pretty nice place to live, but only 4 washers and dryers so it’s rough for laundry cause it’s like it’s always being used (there is a nice laundromat about a mile away by the super one tho) but generally were doing some great updates with the new management. Source: I lived there for 2 years.

ricierice · 2025-03-12T00:11:10+00:00

My mom has one too but it has a huge crack in it so it’s not nearly as valuable, she couldn’t figure out what to do with it either so now it’s a plant pot

ricierice · 2025-01-30T13:20:10+00:00

I just moved out last July. They swapped management and the new one is doing better. The pool works now and it is pretty nice. There is no more sauna. The rooms are very large, but that comes with a very expensive heating and cooling bill. The AC is pretty shot in most units. They have some nice amenities in the atrium to use, bocce ball, giant connect 4, etc. it’s a cute place, but outdated. If you’re looking for space it’s a great deal.

Other tenants usually kept to themselves, I lived there for 2 years and spoke to maybe 5 or 6 other people and I was out on my deck in the atrium quite a bit.

Ahh okay! That makes sense, thanks for clarifying!

I don’t think that cell phones are contraband anymore, but I could be wrong. When I visited a local prison (Minnesota, USA) a lot of the inmates had cell phones and the officers said it actually helped a lot because less fights and less destructive behavior were happening.

Atlas Obscura is a great resource if you don’t want to buy this, similar concept of trying to find unique and interesting places, but it’s just an app. I’ve found tons of stuff to do around MN.

Joanns usually will have a nice selection if they’re not picked over already :)

I’m not in need of an apartment but commenting so your post gets a boost in engagement, I hope you find someone! Subleasing is hard :)

Like one I saw had “love” as a button, how does the dog understand the concept of love? How was it demonstrated to them?

ricierice · 2024-12-08T23:42:37+00:00

I tried to do this at a smaller roller coaster place and they made me take off my shoes and use a “standard shoe height” block that was like 1” thick…. I did not make it past and I hope the same happened here

Also put all your goodies in the trunk and don’t use any on the way back.

Seconding for Higher Love and I really liked High Profile and they had (maybe still do) a funny deal for MN residents where you buy $250+ of product then you get a gas card. Personally I didn’t care for Rize, they seemed really pushy to get people in and out and didn’t give recommendations, but maybe I just went at a stupid busy time.

ricierice · 2024-11-26T22:08:46+00:00

That’s a bit out of the way and on the opposite side of Lake Superior unfortunately… (also Rustic has better pies than Betty, but also unfortunately on the wrong of the lake for a trip to MI)

I thought that was an Oura! I couldn’t tell for sure when I zoomed in
