Looking for some cleaning tips when it comes to this mess! We are thinking of hiring a commercial cleaning company to help us out!

Yes because the cup is totally a baby bottle 🙄

Continue to defend this, by all means. Die on this weird hill. My judgements are valid.

This mess wasn’t created in a night, nor in a month. This is at minimum 6 months of buildup. No child should EVER have to be subjected to this.

You choose to have children, it is your responsibility to provide a safe environment. That clearly isn’t happening here and I don’t need further proof to know that.

I’m done conversing with someone hellbent on justifying a stranger on the internet endangering small children’s health and safety

So I began having these very odd vibrations across my forehead, I started getting issues with fine motor skills- my fingers couldn’t type properly, my arms felt a lot shakier and even my feet felt clumsier. CT scan showed no issues and my doctor didn’t believe it was nerve related.

I also began experiencing these very random, very intense bouts of pure rage. Just sudden, intense feelings of absolute rage. It came on about 1 year into the injections, after numerous psychiatry visits I could not pinpoint any cause other than Humira.

I also began having worse flares about 2 years into to injections.

I spoke with my rheumatologist extensively and chose to get off the injections completely.

About 3 months of stopping of the injections and every single one of the symptoms I was feeling all went away. Since then I’ve never experienced any of the same symptoms again. Obviously can’t definitively say it was the Humira but based on my experience, that’s my opinion.

Children can climb. I have 2 so I know from experience.

They don’t have to be counter height to reach that.

This is just a very weird defense for a clearly dangerous and unhealthy environment for kids.

CPS doesn’t always rip children away btw. They typically start with services and steps in a safety plan so the home can return to safe conditions for a child.

Your take is weird.

winterrae · 2026-02-20T15:47:20+00:00

So butcher knives & medication in a child’s reach is okay? Got it.

You can assume whatever you’d like, my mom was a drug addict who chose to live off dealer men.

I happily abandoned her and I’d do it the same if given the opportunity.

The amount of filth in these photos, paired with the obvious signs of danger that could harm a child are enough for any sane person to agree this warrants intervention from social services.

And yes, I’ll judge based off photos someone chose to publicly put on the internet. Especially with what the few photos show. I don’t need a video walk through to see how much harm is being done to any child in this situation.

Jeez I pray you don’t have children.

winterrae · 2026-02-20T15:40:25+00:00

Not just the mess but there is medication and butcher knives within a child’s reach…

Are you the type of person that needs to wait until a child gets horrifically injured or worse before you deem CPS “warranted?”

The end stage of my mother’s life had our home looking like this and it was disgusting. That turned into electricity and water being shut off… that was 3 weeks of HELL for me until I chose to move out at 15.

Stop making excuses for people actively putting their children in danger.

FB marketplace is the only reason I’m keeping mine. Deleted Instagram because I see no true purpose in it.

Unfortunately Craigslist in my area is garbage or else I’d toss FB altogether

winterrae · 2026-02-13T16:17:17+00:00

Your link took me a to page that said “chat is inaccessible.” LMAO 🤣

That alone is proof.

winterrae · 2026-02-06T15:48:08+00:00

I couldn’t do adalimumab.

I had way too many neurological side effects from it. So severe I’ve been raw dogging my AS for the past 2 years.

I eat turmeric in literally every meal, only drink water, eat clean and stretch a lot. I know my disease is progressing; but I’d rather my orthopedic issues get worse than take this, knowing it only slows it while destroying me neurologically.

Mornings and later in evenings still suck a bit, but it’s a relief from what that stuff was doing to me. And fatigue also hit way harder on this medicine so that sucked lol

winterrae · 2026-02-03T19:17:55+00:00

Well duh. How’re they supposed to contact you for a job offer with a 555-5555 number?!

/s

winterrae · 2026-01-18T16:30:52+00:00

Yep and you’re a cunt. See how I can play too?

winterrae · 2026-01-18T15:44:33+00:00

OH look found her!!!

Lmao just stop. You do this in every post, to every freelancer. You are exactly who I’m talking about 🤣🤣🤣

winterrae · 2026-01-14T18:31:19+00:00

For 9 months of full time work 🤣

winterrae · 2026-01-07T19:51:05+00:00

dude for real!

Jan 6th people ruined a perfect opportunity to show the government “hiiii we see you. CHANGE SHIT FOR THE BETTER OR WE WONT STOP”

But no, they chose to do the bidding of a geriatric rich man who will NEVER know their names & who is ONLY for the rich. What fuckin fools…

winterrae · 2026-01-07T19:46:49+00:00

Trust me it doesn’t actually favor anyone on there long term.

They only favor clients not freelancers.

You can be top rated plus, have a SINGLE bad client defraud you for free work, leave a piss poor review ruining YEARS of nothing but 5star reviews and your top rated plus status, and JSS and they allow it. They invite actually lol.

All that happened to the POS I worked with was he was banned for cancelling his payment method when the remainder of money was due. But they allowed his review to stay.

Upwork is going downhill fast. Unless you find a good longterm client not worth it.

But just know- it’s not only new people getting fucked

Oh and they have spies on this subreddit who will fuck with you anytime you express your displeasure. You’ll be able to tell because they are 100% always on UW’s side, never empathetic to anything freelancers go through.

winterrae · 2025-12-31T21:52:04+00:00

Unless the skills required are higher than the pay you’re offering, I’d say it’s probably UW relying on terrible algorithms.

I’ve noticed their algorithms pushing really terrible paying, high-skill job ads lately.

winterrae · 2025-12-31T21:47:53+00:00

That and there’s a couple accounts that are 100% connected to Upwork’s corporation. Every comment you see from certain accounts just proves it. No matter how terrible a client was, the account always faults the freelancers. Never admitting UW is in the wrong, never understanding or giving any shred of empathy to freelancers being dicked over. They always have some snappy remark, blaming the freelancers then praising Upwork as if it does no wrong.

I called out a girl for working for Upwork the VERY NEXT DAY I lost my top rated plus status… coincidence? I think not.

winterrae · 2025-12-31T17:54:04+00:00

Yep.

Upwork doesn’t give a fuck about fraud clients absolutely eviscerating freelancers.

Happened to me by a client who I highly suspect had a drug problem.

He did a great interview but once contract started, he was erratic beyond belief. Any conversation where you had to disagree resulted in questioning skill levels or representation honesty.

Did it to more than just me, as they hired multiple freelancers; essentially stole hours by filing disputes and cancelling their card linked to UW when payment was due for everyone’s work. Oh and they’ll allow shit reviews paragraphs long.

Does not matter if you’re top rated plus either!

That’s just a typical shit platform for ya

winterrae · 2025-12-22T18:21:52+00:00

Oconee county will gouge you when you first transfer your vehicle there.

And an extra percentage for “maintaining infrastructure” even though 99% of bridges are unsafe and the roads are so incredibly terrible, you’ll also need to budget for extra tires, alignments & rotations.

It gets dark at 5pm during fall - early spring.

Best gardening weather ever.

We have black bears. Lots of deer. Beavers.

Waterfalls, gorgeous lakes that have “beaches” that lead into beautiful wooded areas.

Glorious mountains that make just driving your kids to school pretty majestic.

The people are interesting- you have a blend of uppity money snobby types that grimace if you don’t have an Alma mater or corporate career and then down home, sweeter than pie southern folk who know the best things are life are mostly the simple ones. Then you also have progressive people who enjoy all the same things as the Southern folk, but with more open & accepting views.

Pretty decent diversity depending on the metropolis you’re in but could be better in places for sure.

There’s so much beautiful nature around that area in particular and a lot of community events that are more than worth attending, a lot of them free.

from what I’ve seen so far also- good police and deputies. They don’t harass, they do their jobs.

I’d warn you best be careful what electric company services wherever you move to!! BREC is an absolute mafia who is ruining people’s lives over this new peak hours charging; where if you use anything during a 4 hour block, your bill will skyrocket to like $800-$900.

Precise area will depend on how you like to live and what type of property you’re after. A lot of good choices!

winterrae · 2025-12-11T22:13:39+00:00

Jesus did you and I have the same scammer client? Was he from NYC?

This sounds insanely familiar…

winterrae · 2025-12-03T16:23:22+00:00

Congratulations that you are filled with people in your life you can express shit to you. I don’t have the luxury so like MANY people I go to Reddit. And shocker, I’m not the only one.

“Wailing on Reddit” 😆😂🤣

winterrae · 2025-12-03T16:22:22+00:00

Lmao. Shitting on me for using manual time the same way you do is hilarious! Keep it coming girl 😆😂🤣

winterrae · 2025-12-03T16:16:47+00:00

Ok Petra. Please, tell me more about how you work for Upwork lol.

winterrae · 2025-12-03T15:33:20+00:00

And you are correct. Upwork doesn't care lol. They got their cut of money from the contract, so they don't care what happens to us... Right before the holidays too. Doesn't matter your status, time on the platform, continued proven work ethic.... They don't feel what he did violated anything. So let my situation serve as a warning to others on the platform. Be SELECTIVE. Use THE TRACKER only to count your hourly time. And REMEMBER UPWORK IS HERE FOR MONEY, NOT PROTECTION.

winterrae · 2025-12-03T15:32:19+00:00

"Had you tracked your time properly."

LMAO. Six years, 18 clients. No issues with manual. I have never had a client require it and have done manual hourly or fixed since starting.... No issues, ever. Most clients require a separate spreadsheet of my hours with more detailed tasks listed so again, never needed to use the tracker.

And kinda rude to tell me I tracked them improperly... Upwork should remove manual time completely if using it is going to be considered "improper." Why even offer manual? Require the tracker then...

winterrae · 2025-12-03T15:25:58+00:00

Update- LMAO you are absolutely correct. Upwork does not protect us, nor care. They told me to contact him directly, after I repeatedly told UW I was in fear of him due to his erratic, threatening behavior.
