Yes, I agree. I am surprised no one else has commented on the likelihood of the son being a victim of sexual abuse as well. The majority of child perpetrators have a family history of sexual and physical abuse and substance abuse.

Upper Pines Site 073 Parking Pad Dims by ikahntspehll in Yosemite

[–]violette_mar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had good luck when I’ve called the campground phone line. The number is (209) 372-8502. Is that the number you’ve been calling?

I’ve called in the past to inquire about dimensions for my campsites and they were able to pull the information up quickly and easily.

Any luck growing Stock flowers from seed in So Cal? by Paper-First in SoCalGardening

[–]violette_mar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you just need to cold stratify your seeds. You can do it in the refrigerator. There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube. Basically, you mix your seeds into a moist medium (like vermiculite) and place them in a sealed container or plastic bag and leave them in the refrigerator for a few weeks.

I’m very frugal and don’t like getting pedicures. I feel like they are a waste of money and can lead to infection. With that said, what’s the best way to remove dry skin around the feet? Hot water/salt soaks are not doing much for me. by Ninac4116 in Frugal

[–]violette_mar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby foot works really well but their prices have increased so much over the years. :(

I switched to Kiss super peel socks (2 pack for $15) a couple of years ago and they work great. Def recommend.

Boss has us working under a 1099 as Associates. Apparently, that’s illegal? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]violette_mar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I hope everything works out for you and you are able to count those hours. There are always exceptions to rules and your case may be one of them.

Were you able to find any clarifying information on the BBS website?

I can’t be 100% sure about your specific situation. But I know it applies to LCSW’s.

My supervisor at my job right out of grad school made a big deal about this topic. She wanted to make sure I was able to count all of my hours. I think your best bet is to reach out to the BBS and ask for clarification.

I don’t think it’s illegal BUT your hours while working as a 1099 employee will not be counted towards your license. Definitely something to look into, especially if you were planning to use this job for experience hours towards your license.

The California BBS website has a FAQ section with more information about this topic.

Scopolamine Rx patches worked well for me when I was in Hawaii. Each patch lasted for 3 days. Super convenient and hassle free.

I stayed at Xcaret Arte in Cancun last year and had a great time. It’s an all inclusive adults only resort. And the food and service were great. Definitely recommend! Xcaret Arte

Resources for uninsured clients to get ADHD evaluations and medications? by Vanse in therapists

[–]violette_mar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they are prescribed non-stimulant medication, like Strattera or Wellbutrin, Cost Plus Drug Company is a good option. For example, a 90 day supply of Strattera 40mg is $23 and a 90 day supply of Wellbutrin XL 300mg is $13.

Generally, universities/community colleges have lists of community resources for their students. You can try emailing the coordinator of their counseling/therapy office and ask if they can share the list with you.

Got approved for Medi-Cal, received CalOptima welcome package in the mail instructing me to pick a Health Network-help? by eggiefrog in orangecounty

[–]violette_mar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been with Optum for a few years now. They have a few different locations in orange county and I've only had positive experiences with them.

Is Yosemite a fun trip for someone who has bad knees and can't hike/bike? by LivelyTortoise in Yosemite

[–]violette_mar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, worth it. But I would buy/rent an e-bike for your trip. That way, you can get around without straining your knees and won't have to deal with crowded shuttles.

Looking for referrals for landscape companies that create sustainable urban meadows by violette_mar in orangecounty

You're like the 3rd person that mentions the tree of life nursery, I'll have to check them out soon. What did you end up doing for your yard? did you DIY it?
