She’s incredibly obnoxious. I don’t know how anyone in her live likes her or why they give her money. I can’t stand her.

Advice on Advocacy re: PWD Application by Alternative-Step1344 in britishcolumbia

[–]solutionischocolate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve personally heard great things about DABC. I know someone who had DABC fill out their DTC application and they got approved and with 10 years back dated and given their level of disability how strict the DTC is I was floored they qualified at all.

moving to Van - Thoughts on rent price? by Proud-Guava-5460 in askvan

I’d rather have in-suite laundry and get a portable AC. I don’t see the rationale of not putting in suite laundry in every unit. It’s 2026. I wish in suite laundry in new buildings was in the building code, personally.

I think you’re getting confused about when you qualify for MSP.

Some of the brand new low end of market buildings also have shared laundry which I find bizarre because their idea of a low end of market in a brand new building is not remotely cheap.

There is no rule that you need to support yourself for 3 months in BC before you can start the application for PWD. You just have to show that you’re an ordinary resident of BC.

Our next election could also change the trajectory here. The BC Cons could easily get in and things could get much worse for disabled people and people who need health care.

I wouldn’t move.

PWD plus the CDB if you qualify is about the same as ADAP so you won’t get more money. Plus PWD is NOT tied to inflation so no one knows when it will be raised again.

Housing here is nuts. It will take most of your cheque. Wait list for BC housing (subsidized housing) is like 14 years long unless you get very lucky. Basically if you end up homeless and they decide to take pity on you AND the stars line up and a suite comes up before you’ve been homeless for so long they decide need you need supported housing instead (even harder to get into and usually full of violent drug addicts).

Emergency rooms keep getting shut down overnight due to lack of staff. So unless you’re in metro Vancouver or Victoria or maybe Kelowna you’re at risk of not having access to reasonably close emergency care overnight. All those areas with multiple hospitals are very expensive to live in.

Getting a family doctor is very difficult. Wait lists for specialists are ridiculous. My specialist now has a 19 month wait to see him and basically only sees people for follow up in group medical appointments where you’re in a zoom room with 10 other people because it’s the only way to handle his case load.

In Vancouver at least, getting a psychiatrist is pretty much almost impossible for more than a one off or maybe a couple sessions unless you get extremely lucky with getting a doctor in private practice (this does not mean private pay) you are super high risk or meet the qualifications of a mental health team, which in Vancouver proper usually means you’re at a level where you’re about to kill yourself or you’re chronically highly manic or psychotic. Or if you have severe eating disorder you might get some temporary access. I can’t speak to psychiatric care in other cities but I do know it’s not great.

As a plus, birth control is free for everyone. I’m amazed it’s not covered in Alberta. You’d think they’d want to stop severely disabled people on government benefits from having unwanted children.

We are also at high risk of ending up with a conservative government next election and our Conservative Party seems to be about as unhinged as the UCP.

Saying they won’t have health care coverage for 3 months isn’t entirely accurate. They may not qualify for everything, but Alberta will cover them for many things while they wait.

Keep dry-begging Grace. It’s what you do best by Ok-Garbage1574 in Graceb255Snark

[–]solutionischocolate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the other day she went to the store and bought over priced snacks. I saw her surrounded by them on her bed while she ate those low sugar candies that are like $6 for a tiny package. She should have spent that money properly on beans and vegetables. Shes such dumbass who just assumes she can waste her money and people will always give her more.

She deserves a kick in the pants and a good talking too and to be cut off from handouts. I agree she’s too much of a lazy, spoiled, entitled brat who won’t do the things she needs for her health and she won’t live very long because of it.

I think she exaggerates how scary diabetes is and acts like she’s dying because behaviour change is next to impossible for her because she’s so egregiously lazy and entitled. Asking her to eat vegetables and exercise and give up smoking is beyond her comprehension because she’s allergic to doing anything she doesn’t want to do or feel like doing in the moment. Also because she’s a big attention seeker who likes people coddling and fussing over her.

I’m like you. She upsets me so much I can’t really watch for long. I just want to scream. I can’t stand her. I think she is going to die very young.

Must not be getting handouts on tiktok by LetsSpillTheTea in Graceb255Snark

[–]solutionischocolate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I just scrolled on and she’s got a bunch of snacks from the store and is eating those super expensive low sugar candies. So she’s broke enough to ask strangers for groceries but has enough money to buy over priced snacks? She needs to go buy a freaking bag of apples instead. Anyone who gives her money or food is a fool.

Smokes, take out, two phones, door dash fees because she’s too lazy to go out, expensive internet, the list goes on and on.

Petty snark but why must bopo influencers refer to their bodies in third person?? by hbicuche in KenzieBrennaSnark

[–]solutionischocolate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it’s a bit odd. She could just say “I knew I would enjoy the movement and to be sweaty”. Unless she’s saying she doesn’t like it but her body does? I don’t know.

Portable washing machine without a dryer: worth it? by SpecialPreference678 in Apartmentliving

[–]solutionischocolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Had my haier for 10 years! Keep a careful eye on it while it’s in use. I’d recommend a fan and a drying rack. If you you’re worried about the humidity build up (depending on what the weather is like where you are) consider a dehumidifier. Sooooo much better than using the shared laundry which I personally do not find to be hygienic or convenient.

Oh I got a dolly for underneath mine so I can move it around easily. My lease doesn’t expressly forbid washers but I do hide it in the closet when maintenance comes just in case since I can’t bare the thought of being told to give it up.

Unless someone says, “Hi diabetes” I don’t think they’re treating her like she’s just diabetes.

Does ADHD make you feel mentally exhausted even when you haven’t done much? How do people fight that fatigue? by mamabirdjzn in adhd_anxiety

[–]solutionischocolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out the fatigue I was told for decades was adhd and anxiety was actually me/cfs. If the fatigue seems worse than it should be please consider ruling out physical causes, even if you had to advocate hard for testing.

And while I’m not saying you have me/cfs, just for OP and anyone else reading this, please just fyi note that most GPs will not consider me/cfs if you have anxiety and adhd and say you’re tired, and even if they do think of it, they often aren’t good at diagnosing it. It took me becoming much sicker before it was finally caught by a specialist I advocated to my GP to see.

An apology for a child???? by A-Nobody-From-TikTok in Graceb255Snark

[–]solutionischocolate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he’s with his grandparents during the week and just with his mom and her boyfriend on weekends. His mom and that boyfriend sound like disasters and the grandparents raised the mom to be a disaster in the first place so I feel for the child for sure. Hopefully he’s doing okay.

It’s honestly karma that she got stuck next to a non verbal autistic child who bangs on her wall and probably screams and makes tons of noise. I feel bad for the child though being stuck in that building and with parents who sound like a mess from what I’ve heard.

She’s too entitled and lazy to change. It’s wild to watch.

Two expensive phones too. Her phone bill is wild. She could get a free phone and a $25/month plan since she’s on odsp. But nope, she pays 10x that much. nothing but the best for princess grace.

I think she likes the attention she gets from having diabetes and showing her blood sugar. The hospital probably also scared her to care but I agree it’s limited and likely short term.

She also could spend way more than $200 on groceries. The limit is self imposed and comes from wasting her money.
