It took four years to get services for my adult daughter. Those out-of-pocket costs will mean my husband and I have to retire older. Please tell Congress not to fund the rich on our backs.

Picking up from where this leaves off. You made it to the last interview group and they picked someone else, but you still beat out many people, so keep submitting, and happy future sales to @rflove.bsky.social! Because someone else will love it enough to commit.

Also look for a One Stop Career Center in your area (assuming the gov't hasn't cut those too).

I'm gearing up for both #PBParty2025 and the #SCBWIWinterConference at once. This makes my nuts. But it's the kind of nuts that has a lot of hope in it. Happy networking and sales etc to everyone joining me at both or either.

Happy sales to all the #P2PPit participants, including me! I had to Google it though. If the organizers could add an explanation page here, that would help. I'm no longer visiting that other place.

One perfect dress. Three different girls who need it, love it. But girls grow, and dresses don’t. DIA’S DRESS is Karen English’s RED SHOES in purple velour. The dress waited. #P2PPit #PB.

Happy sales to @titasteph.bsky.social and everyone else involved! It saddens me that we need books like this, but it's good to know they are there for those who do need them. Mental health matters!

Happy sales to @kurtkirchmeier.bsky.social! Dragon-like monsters! And a shadow road as the path to escape? Plus hope as it says above the title. Love it.

I am grateful this has been done and sad that it is needed.

Happy sales to @taleenvoskuni.bsky.social! What an intriguing title! Is the ex-really happy? Can we be happy for them? Or should we be warning the potential spouse?
