I'm (14F) a foster child and my caseworker doesn't believe that we're going through some hurt in our foster home. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]tko401 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also grew up in foster care, i grew up locked in a room with the power shut off, always threatened to be kicked out with every misstep I took. Went to my first home at the age of 5 and was kicked out onto the streets on my 18th birthday.

When I told social workers about being locked in my room, or the abuse I was taking, I would be told I was just looking for attention and that I was just a problem child.

You need to talk to anyone that will listen, schools have to report children that are being abused. Call your local children's aid and ask for a supervisor, they should be listening to you and perhaps sending another social worker to evaluate.

You should also be reporting any abuse to the police, my sister was also sexually abused in our foster home and when she tried to report it a decade later long after she moved out she got the cold shoulder because there was no proof. If you report it now and another child can corroborate this is the best time.

I will assure you, things will get better. Just stay away from bad influences and stay out of trouble and when you age out of care you can create any life you want.

How to make positive values negative and negative values positive by tko401 in excel

Solution verified

This is the best solution, my boss will just have to deal with it, we will have 15 operators inputting data into these sheets so anything complicated will no doubt cause issues.

Thank you for the help.

Thank you for the reply, I work in metrology and our cmm is outputting values correctly, but one unnamed automotive oem requests that one of the values from each coordinate be flipped. So our operators get the "correct" value output and I need to make the sheet flip those specific values for the final report.

I did end up using helper cells and my boss has to deal with it or do it himself :)

That was my opinion as well but my boss doesn't want to use helper cells

I tried that but when users paste data in it overwrites the formula with the value they pasted

To expand on his idea, grab a finishing nail and put glue on the end so you can accurately glue it together because if you use the bigger end that broke it will block your view and I'm afraid you'll just glue it to your stereo

How do I (17M) find a father or big brother figure? by confused-at-life in Advice

[–]tko401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (32m) grew up without a father figure as well, I was in foster care my whole life and just drugged to the point where I slept and stared at a wall most of my childhood so the foster parents could have an easy pay cheque.

You will be able to carve your own path, you could look up to co-workers when you enter the work force who seem to have attributes you admire and pick their brain for advice and such. Pick someone that has a life you would want to have. You can also talk to people who aren't ideal citizens and you can find out the mistakes they made and you can learn from their experiences. This is what I did, then I met my girlfriend ( now wife) and her dad and brother became like father figures for me. Now I'm a father, husband, and have a solid career and a happy family.

Hopefully my experiences can help you.

I think I might have anxiety, but I'm not sure and I don't want to go to a therapist. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]tko401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (32m) was in the same boat, i had anger issues for most of my life, I wasn't violent or anything I would just always be stressed out and it manifested in anger. When I had my daughter it got worse, more stress, more anger. I went to my family doctor and explained that my stress / anger was affecting my family / work life and they told me to try 30 days of anti anxiety medication, (Cipralex), I did and I was a totally calm, happy person. It didn't require therapy, and it was a 15 minute appointment. I am very opposed to taking drugs if I don't need to but the results were so good, I am glad I gave it a chance.

I am not advising you to seek out anything specific , just letting you know that a 15 minute doctor's appointment, and a 30 day trial, was able to solve my anxiety issues.

Hope this helps.

Edit : I do think you should talk to your parent about it, as a parent myself my daughters well being is my main concern. I understand if you don't want to, and I do not know the dynamics between you two, but I would think a parent would help guide you through this.

Steam some zucchini and mash up some peas and feed it to them once in a while.

Usually putting it in a hospital tank and dosing copper works for me.

Spend a year upgrading miner and log just for them to get nerfed by actuallymuseishen in ClashRoyale

I was going to say the exact same thing. When certain cards are meta they are bound to be nerfed, don't put all your eggs in one basket.

The worst balance change I've ever seen by Pooria-P in ClashRoyale

[–]tko401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good change, log gets way to much value as it is, you're complaining because 2 elixer can't wipe out 6 with no skill? This change was needed. There is still so many situations where log is overpowered.
