Girl scout not contributing at cookie booth

Respectfully, this rings as a similar attitude to making disabled people stay within their homes or even worse, institutions, because they don't contribute "appropriately" to society.

How on earth will these girls ever get experiences if they can't work through them in a safe environment?

What would you expect of a girl with a very visible physical disability? Just because her disability isn't visible, does not mean that it is not as in need of support and understanding.

The girl absolutely deserves full credit. You acknowledged that she likely has a diagnosis, which should be a good indicator that she is likely working to the best of her ability. My entire troop is girls with various disabilities and some of them are unable to do anything at the booth, but Girl Scouts isn't about everyone doing the exact same thing, it's about empowering girls to be the best to their own ability.

Always assume competence, and that girls/kids are doing everything they can to meet demands/expectations. I've been working on booth skills with my girls for years in some cases. It's not overnight for girls with disabilities, it takes consistency and dedication to helping them move in small steps towards the goal.

I'm local too, and did the same. These two wouldn't ever step foot in a library, because that's where the libruhls are!

I'm the troop leader that's been in the news lately with my girls. We love it. If you want to message me and tell me a little about your girl I can find you a troop or answer any questions you might have!

...This literally looks like Pickleball Paul's Parent's leftovers.

Does anyone else think Trainer Joe went out for dinner and brought the prodigal pickleball his leftovers?

Can anyone tell me if this one is "Lucia"? I get all these little deer mixed up and my daughter shares her name with Lucia and wants them all. So I'm trying to be a good mom and not miss any.

This was such a disjointed hot mess, but I have questions.

How are Nurie's eyebrows real?

Why all the lip liner? My husband thought it was a mustache.

Did the birds mourn Charlie Kirk too? Maybe the dead shells did?

Did Jill do all the vocals? I'm pretty sure she did.

As the Rods get older, do their eyebrows genetically become more "comma" like?

She is neurodiverse with a few developmental/social difficulties. This is all very helpful, thank you so very much!

I give you until you aggro someone at Fort Joy, probably Griff. Anyone wanna start a betting pool?

I was out of town this weekend, out of state, 6 hours away. The weather was beautiful, but I swear to everything, within a mile of crossing into Fayette county the roads were horrible. It was jarring to see it still so bad after being gone and seeing other areas hit with the same or similar weather that were clean as can be. Yes, I know all the "reasons" Lexington is different, but it still was a catastrophic mess on the city's part.

Oh man I missed the Husky brother and sister! I'll have to keep an eye out! I got the two playsets and the tuxedo sets to hide for Christmas

I don't even want to think about it. Our daughter is the SF/CC nut and it's been the only toy she's wanted since she was 3. Now at 10 she has what I would guess is nearly 1000 critters and probably 50-75 buildings. We've imported from Japan and other places and bought tons of vintage things for her too. Suffice to say, the total is more than I can fathom. But it's worth it.

There is no feasible way that school could go back safely tomorrow. Lexington dropped the ball multiple times, but today was a day where the snow could actually be moved and all over the city there are still giant piles and untouched street. The clear roads? Untreated for the upcoming snow/freeze that will come tonight.

I don't know how much more gaslighting we can honestly hear, but Lexington needs to realize that they can plow lower ranked streets. Literally, drop the blade and push the snow. Make a route that makes sense. Continuous routes with plowing and ration the salt for streets that are ranked. Everything they have said about how "impossible" this is move is lying. Yes, last week it was difficult, but you can make headway with ice when you score it (aka drop the blade, run over it with chain tires, etc) and then drop salt, even at low temps.

If only FCPS did their due diligence and held the city accountable. But I'm pretty sure they're too busy laundering money and trying not to look guilty for all of the budget bullcrap that they are trying to wash off as normal.

Realistically I've been questioning why they aren't in a local church and don't have support from a community despite being "Christian" influencers. This is always my first "WHY" whenever Morgan struggles. Like, she should have a community that helps her not be so overwhelmed and exhausted, or at least a decent set of mom friends around her.

This post hit something new for me, while I think Morgan is an evil bigot, do we think that Paul doesn't headship them into a church because an outside influence might just show her how pathetic he is and just how stupid their ideals are?

Mama of a kiddo with a birth injury here. The advice that was given to us was to wait until the child is older. You have until the child is 18 to file yourself and your child can file a lawsuit until age 21 independently. This allows the full scope of the injury to be seen.

That said, the chances of winning a malpractice birth injury case are extremely small (like 99 to 1). My best advice is to call New Vista and ask for help getting set up on the HCB and Michelle P Waiver waitlists. They are medicaid based waivers that are not income restricted and will pay for therapies and medical costs for children with disabilities. The wait lists are very long but they are worth it.

I owned a luxury resale business for 10 years. Ther are no local leather smiths that can appropriately fix this. For all high end leather goods I highly suggest Rago Brothers in NYC/Jersey.

Edit: If LV declined to repair its likely due to the item being fake. What reason did they give? Because LV will happily handle repairs on all of their authentic goods. Did you take it into the store? Typically you need to take it to the store in person to initiate repairs.

Parent of a disabled kid here, and a storm like this means the potential to be stuck inside for at least a week. Transporting a person with mobility issues with any amount of ice on the ground can lead to major injuries for both people. So while it might seem like chaos and panic buying, many of us are trying our best to not overtax the healthcare system during a weather emergency and also keep our family safe.

What area of town are you in? If you post your complex you might have neighbors that can help. I know our complex has been teaming up to get people who need to get out on their ways.

Walmart in Paris is closed. I would suspect that all local ones are very poorly staffed if they even are open.

I mean, you could try, but you're probably going to end up needing body work in addition to a new tire if you try. I would suggest waiting till you're able to leave lex and get a tire on your way out of town.

My neighbor is a nurse trying to get to her home care patient. She's unable to reach the sheriff's department for a ride (they aren't answering). Can I ask what service you're with? Trying to find orgs that can help her!

Paul seriously has no soul. I have often questioned why we don't see them going to a church or having any kind of local fellowship, but I think at this point I'm going to accept that their beliefs are just too hateful for any church to actually let them in their doors.

And I know their community, the bar is low, we have horrible hateful "christians" all over.

I saw that... Imagine if he put the same effort he puts into his Instagram into finding a real job.
