This happened about half an hour ago.

The front door was locked, and I heard keys in the lock. I assumed it was my partner. I looked through the peephole - no one there.

I opened the door thinking he was out-of-view, and no one was there.

I closed and locked the door. About minute later, I heard the elevator open and then my partner’s keys in the lock.

I usually just chalk stuff up to the universe being weird, but this is extra-weird!

Did anyone have student-of-the-month when everyone focuses on that person? In mine, first grade, one question was “what do you wish.”

My 43 y/o sister is developmentally about 8 mos old, depending on how you look at it.

She does not use any symbolic language. She doesn’t speak, sign, press and buttons or pictures, or nod or shake her head.

I think that led to a somewhat different experience than a lot of the people here, because I was never mad at anyone - except God.

She didn’t pick on me, insult me, or fight with me. She loves seeing me - she is affectionate with very few people (she has ASD/ has “autistic tendencies.” ) and she is with med

I love her so much, and I am also worried about the future. She will by my charge. I cannot take care of her by myself. I am also terrified of her being in a group home, since if she abused - she can’t tell anyone.

If I was rich, then I would want her to live with me and have a live-in. She is on Medicaid, medicare, and SSI, and I am worried congress is going to chop those programs.

We will end up homeless. I guess family might take us in. Her programs and healthcare is more expensive than most people could afford out-of-pocket. It can be tens of thousands of dollars a year.

My partner and I are both in helping professions, so while we are on the verge of comfortable, that relies on Medicare and social security. I guess there is money from the state.

Anyhoo.

TL;DR: is there anyone whose sibling has the needs of an infant? There’s no reason for me to be mad at her. I’m scared of the future.

Hi!

I got some of the eucerin skin-pigment reducing lotion and am looking at another product with thiamidol.

This seems like a silly question - do I just put it on the melasma spots? I don’t want to bleach my face!

Than you.

Hello!

I’m wondering if you all make your own art or craft for yourself, and if so, what are your preferred materials, subjects, processes, etc.?

Thank you!
