now we must find out who Zelda Fitzgerald is named after…

and Zelda from LoZ was named after the wife of F Scott Fitzgerald.

well duh, birth rates have been declining around the globe forever now. how is this shocking

read my post again. this is a provider that is probably losing business because people can’t get their referral in to see them unless they walk it through the door themselves. how is that convenient?

thank you, this is exactly the type of answers i was hoping for!

this makes no sense to me when patient portals exist. why isn’t there a provider portal that can handle sending medical info back and forth? I can see all my medical details online already.

no kidding! i have enough to deal with, without having to babysit a doctor’s office that won’t update their equipment.

i understand HIPAA. i don’t understand why we are still using the technology we started using in the 60s. my question is why haven’t we found a better way since then?

school districts were also affected… at least mine was.

skill issue

I’m not sure what that community is like here, but the reddit one left a bad taste for me back in the day. I’m a step parent, i don’t hate kids… i just don’t want to be pregnant. :)

how do i submit a doctor? i had a hysterectomy at 27, childless, thanks to an exhausting search that led me to an amazing gyno in my area.

ope, i figured it out. lol

i was gonna say the same. just wanna be pain free😭

i took one year of business school, and they teach you to offshore outsource as much as possible and to prioritize your shareholders at all costs. so, nothing surprising.

yes!! in my area we have O Cedar. life changing. you can get extra mop heads so much cheaper on eBay btw

why do you see marriage as the only acceptable form of commitment? just curious. in my opinion it takes more commitment to stay without legal ties involved.

some people are just unable to go to college due to finances, physical/mental health, or other things like being a single parent. i was never able to go to college because i couldn’t mentally handle the stress due to serious trauma of various kinds that i was just coming out of. i couldn’t find a job to adequately support me and i had health issues and undiagnosed learning disabilities preventing me from having the energy or time to focus even on part time studies. i had no family, so no safety net. i tried taking college thru a work program but the college ended up being unaccredited.

and keep in mind some people have several/all of these things to deal with.

so to say that seeing someone went thru college shows they can stick to something, it’s negating all the hidden struggles that the rest of us work every day to get thru. I’m on year 7 of my current job, so i can clearly commit. but saying that college is the measuring stick is kinda disrespectful for those who had a different path.

that’s still such an ableist take. (as someone in the usa)

dude. that super sucks. i had just graduated high school fortunately, but i was on bed rest for 7 months, i didn’t have a choice. i was unable to walk. didn’t help that i had pneumonia and bronchitis at the same time. lol

as someone who had it… no. lol
