C17 is life

I have tried to get them to do an assessment on me probably 10x in the last month. B they keep saying they will call me back. Literally the last told me again today that she needed to do 4 other intakes and then she would call me back. No call. I have even called one of the head people over there and complained. 3 weeks ago he promised he would call me back by 4pm that day. Haha!! I'm still waiting!! They are blaming it on a TV phone system problem.

We take our little stinky man there for day camp once a week and he absolutely loves it. He gets super excited when we pull up and even more so when we walk in. Like someone else said, you can watch them play on the online cameras if you need some peace of mind. We’ve also boarded with them and that’s been great. He always comes very happy and very tired.

Food prices have gone up, so a lot of restaurants will either cheap out like this or charge more for some dishes. Sad but true.

Whatever that is called I have gotten before and I’ve always regretted it because they should call it celery with a side of celery

Yup

That’s not entirely true, it’s not telling the whole story.

Bear Island was previously owned by White Birch and made newsprint. In 2017 they idled the plant and put it up for sale, Cascades came into the picture as a prospective buyer and wanted to see the plant run, so White Birch started the plant back up temporarily so Cascades could see it run. Cascades purchased Bear Island and is in the final stages of converting the plant to make linerboard(the stuff cardboard boxes are made out of) along with being a 100% recycled fiber process.

They’ve got something north of $400 MILLION tied up in the conversion in addition to the $37 million they paid for the plant. Between their investment and demand for linerboard I’d be shocked if they idled the plant.

Source: I know multiple people who work at Bear Island currently under Cascades ownership and I know several people who previously worked there under White Birch ownership.

They got a discount on cases of celery

Don’t you dare disparage Fu Jian like this. I ate it tonight and had the time of my life.

mitsubishi i-miev has one

It makes me nauseous and I understand what you're saying. I've gotten down to the point where I take less than a milligram every two or three or 5 days. Ive gone a couple months without it, I just have it there to be safe. One day I'll be done.

Yes! I have. My dog (who I rescued in August) LOVES it there. When we start even heading in that direction he gets so excited. I've always had a great experience. You can watch your dog in the cameras they have and it's cool to see him play with the other pets. The staff has always been extremely friendly, and their app makes things really convenient. I called to schedule my first "Family Day" which is basically a day of free Day Camp. Strongly recommend!!

congrats on a month, i wish i had services to point u to :’( ❤️❤️❤️

It took a VERY long time and a lot of money lol. Definitely a painful process, but life is pretty good now! Thanks for the kind words!

Unrelated to Tyson’s but glad you were able to get back on your feet after prison! They make it way too hard to do

Congrats on being sober for a month! I'm sorry to hear of the run around you've been given, that is super frustrating especially when you're trying to get help.

I'm not sure of your gender, but have you heard of or tried Twin Branch Wellness & Recovery for Women? I've heard great things about their recovery program. https://twinbranchwellness.com/

Best of luck to you, keep advocating for yourself!

This is where a lot of sex offenders in the area work at. Wonder where they’ll go to now.

I'm sorry, that's really frustrating. I used to work at programs like that and the volume is way too high for people to get adequate treatment a lot of the time.

Health Brigade has a needle exchange program. I know you're clean and have medicaid but they may be able to point you in the direction of other resources the general community doesn't know about.

Good luck. I hope you find an even better opportunity than you had before.

I have 2 separate questions or issues with this

1. How are poultry companies posting record profits during Covid amid shortages, inflated prices, etc? I would rather this be investigated by Congress than whether Biden's son had so and so on his laptop, or Trump tweeted such and such 2 years ago. Makes me wonder what is really going on when we are arguing over petty political bs.
2. Is this closure going to affect local poultry producers? I know there are a ton of chicken farms in Amelia County. I wonder if this will raise their costs getting their birds to market.

My guess would be that it is old and out of date. Probably labor costs are higher in Hanover now than they were 20 years ago so it is not cost effective for them to rebuild in the same area. Also as mentioned by another redditor Tyson stated that other locations were not running at capacity.

Bear Island opens and then closes repeatedly. I would not want to get a job there and then get laid off after a year or two unless it was absolutely necessary.

Have you tried Forest Hill ARTS?
