how many oreos can I eat before I'm diagnosed with depression

@flargh Depends on how fast you eat and what time the diagnosis is expected.

    BENIGN!

    The report hasn’t actually been signed off on or released yet, but Lab Corp put it in their portal for the Halo Imaging doc … & that means I have it, too! I think the hemosiderin-laden macrophages are from my lung issues. Why that would show up in my thyroid, I do not know—& also, since they’re not being caused by cancer, I’m wondering if my thyroid symptoms indicate Graves? I don’t know. I guess I will once they release the report to my doc & I speak with/ her.

    But! BENIGN!

    @paulc The diner downtown was the periodicals spot for decades. They took out the racks entirely a decade ago. Now the diner’s gone, too. 😕

    My son and I were supposed to go to the first week of June. He is autistic and in the past has easily qualified for their disability pass. His symptoms are severe enough that going by what is stated on their new policy he should easily be eligible for their DAS.

    So yesterday we get up at 9 AM to do the Zoom call with a CM. I explain to her his issues and why he would need a DAS. My son is on the call as well. After about a minute on the call he is denied a DAS. Confused I ask questions about why he wouldn’t be eligible but she starts giving me suggestions on how to deal with waiting in lines. I try to explain to her why those won’t work and she gives me a sarcastic “have a magical day” and ends the video chat.

    After the chat I have to explain to my son that he might have to wait in long lines during our trip and he then has a meltdown. It took a while to get him through it. I decide that we should just see about getting a refund, even though we are only a little over a week away from leaving.

    So I call customer service and explain that I wanted to see about getting a refund without penalty because he was denied a DAS. After talking with her supervisor they agree and give me a refund. Considering the length of stay and hotel we were staying at it was a considerable amount of money.

    So if you are neurodivergent and have used a DAS in the past good luck. Maybe you’ll have better luck than I did when you have your chat with a CM. But for us our Disney days are over.

    @AppleFanboy that’s really shitty. what makes it worse is that I expect more of some companies — not many, but Disney is among them.

    @AppleFanboy once an org decides to cut costs (no matter what) or increase profitability (no matter what), this sort of thing becomes inevitable. it shows that they fail to grasp what matters — even, over the long term — to their own bottom line. Capitalism blows.

    tantramar,
    @tantramar@nojack.easydns.ca avatar

    @AppleFanboy Destroying this kind of goodwill is usually permanent. Once they finally grasp the value they’ve destroyed, it’s too late. I’m really sorry you have to deal with this so some dipshit avoids having to behave like a decent person.

    @Waitnwallflower @bkm I caught some elementary schoolboys about to help themselves to my tulips a couple of weeks ago — right along the front of my house. Like, WTF, dudes?

    @Waitnwallflower @bkm A couple of days later I was out chatting with a neighbour down the street and they went by us — each carrying flowers (not mine).

    I slept 10 hours.

    Solid.

    I didn't even get up to pee.

    I don't feel the looming threat of ripping anyone's head off this morning.

    You probably are all safe today. (FAFO)

    Apologies if you are missing any body parts from this past week.

    Happy Friday.🌺

    opened the kitchen window tonight. the screen has some holes, but I didn't have the light on, so I didn't worry about bugs getting in.

    next thing i know there's a massive June Bug in the living room, FLAGRANTLY VIOLATING THE SOCIAL CONTRACT THAT'S RIGHT THERE IN ITS NAME.

    @violinguy I am ashamed to admit that’s what I did last year.

    Then I bought some material to patch it with. It’s still on the old to-do list, though. 🤦‍♂️
