I was working as a stay-at-home dad, but thanks to our insurance not covering my son's autism therapies, I'm deep in the hunt for a job with good pay/insurance and that isn't happening. Ugh.Mimi wrote:I just need a place to whine and motivate. What better place than a public forum.

Rarely do I call for rounding any group up for hanging but I would do so for insurance executives.*Wolter wrote:I was working as a stay-at-home dad, but thanks to our insurance not covering my son's autism therapies, I'm deep in the hunt for a job with good pay/insurance and that isn't happening.

*Total bullshit, I constantly call for mass hangings.
It still boggles my mind that we live in a country where a devastating illness or other diagnosis that is not one's fault can completely bankrupt a person. If my parents didn't help us out when Scott got sick, we would have been screwed.BostonBeaneater wrote:Rarely do I call for rounding any group up for hanging but I would do so for insurance executives.*Wolter wrote:I was working as a stay-at-home dad, but thanks to our insurance not covering my son's autism therapies, I'm deep in the hunt for a job with good pay/insurance and that isn't happening.
