I have a vermicompost bin in my kitchen, I'm in awe whenever I open it at just how many bugs there are in there just doin' their thing, and it's all self contained. The only "pest" I've had has been ants enteri

Wow, that's a first. Clicking the URL hung Brave, completely unresponsive for 2-3 mins, now it's loaded but shows nothing but a dark blue background. Same for every refresh, too!

I think it was your comment that I was replying to but it was deleted before I could post, thankfully I copied it before I posted. Apologies if not. I think you said we got it wrong, how wrong did we get it? https://news.ycombina

I am Kingsley and the letter was in response for my daughter Sterling. Thanks for posting OP/ivanech. This comment was for a post that was deleted, just posting it here so it's not lost forever. We were late to get an appointment

Everyone told us to apply, regardless of income. We were told that my private insurance insurance only covers so much and will be capped at X (either $ or hours). Medicaid would supplement the rest. For instance, my private insurance offere

Even with a sick child, being believed is a huge undertaking https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/watchdog/story/202... I was glad I had paperwork that outlined my daughter's diagnosis, but it didn&

I guess that's the point of my letter, be consistent, you either care or you don't. "every life matters", "think about the kids" or "what about the children" is only relevant when it's about heal

I agree - it's as if it's kept difficult on purpose. I got fatigued reading about all the programs, only to realise I'm reading about old programs or about a program in different a state, etc. I wish there was a site I could

by kingsloi 5y ago
Thanks for this! Yes, take advantage of any available programs. We were told to even apply even if you don't meet the criteria. It's better to apply and get a "no" then to not apply at all. Our social worker was knowledg

I can't edit this post, but I just want to add that I feel incredible lucky that I was able to work from my child's bedside at all. We met many other parents in the ICU who worked jobs that weren't remote, crane operators, wa

I don't want sympathy or want to invoke empathy. I've heard enough "I'm sorry for you loss" to last me many, many lifetimes. I just want to share my 2c on how my/our situation was made worse, now my girl is gon

by kingsloi 5y ago
I hate evoking empathy/sympathy, but with my child being gone, I really think it's important to share the real story and things that made our/my situation worse.

Yeah, you pretty much hit the nail for me, too. I was worried of that exact situation. I'm a great employee, with a great team/manager, but it's a F500 company, where I'm just a replaceable body. The best thing I could d

Yeah, in the US. I had 2 weeks-ish off total and random days/hours when there were big procedures, but was "saving" the rest for when my wife returned to work. My child was chronically sick (but worse than I/we knew), an

My wife and I experienced eBiking around downtown Chicago (Divvy's eBike), and it literally re-ignited my love for biking, I really recommend it if you're visiting Chicago! The bike path next to the lake is beautiful & so fun!

I'm sorry you're going through this. My little girl had heart disease and a rare genetic condition, she was very sick and spent 7 of her 8 months in the ICU. Her condition was obviously chronic, my wife and I assumed her path woul

Just anecdotal/my 2c, My little girl was born in September 2020 in Chicago, USA, she was diagnosed with heart disease, and as it turns out a really rare genetic condition. She passed away in May 2021. My family all live in the UK. My l

I agree, Moments isn't a bad piece of software, especially being able to group/combine the same person, that is tagged as a different person. My newborn was like 50 different people when I first uploaded our pics, merging them tog
