if you left it outside, but not where the garbage is normally picked up from, and its not a day the haulers normally would be by, i'm afraid to say your mattress is probably LONG gone, and not to the dump. a neighbor probably saw it and scored themself a free mattress

This reminds me of when I threw away my mattress last time.

It was also a “sentimental” item, it came with me when i moved out. My parents separated shortly after and i spent a lot of time just laying there. Anyway, at some point i sowed a pocket into it to hide cash. Had to run out and stop the garbage man at 7:00am when I remembered. He was pissed, but then happy with $100.

I got good grades and that probably set me up for a good start for my career but it certainly hasn’t mattered since I started my first professional job out of college.

Definitely the soft skills and working well with people is more valuable in most professional environments unless you are the best at some high value niche specialty then those soft skills can slide

Mushroom strength can vary notably, depending on the strain and the growing situation. I've had ego death around 3 grams, but it lasted much longer at 4.5 g + MAOI (for the latter, I did vomit while passing in/out) for an hour. If your experience was legit just with natural mushrooms then I'd expect this batch was especially strong and whatever you took 6-7 g of was especially weak. Maybe?

>Looked into the requirements but we don’t think we qualify.

Just because you think you do not qualify does not mean that you do not actually qualify. You will never know unless you actually apply.

Hit up google and see if there are any groups in your area/state that you can talk to about your options to get help with your current situation. There may be groups (or even subreddits here) that can guide you through the application process for welfare benefits/SNAP/etc to increase your chances of qualifying or there may even be state programs that can help you out (e.g. help for covering medical bills/prescriptions, help with rent and/or bills, etc). You might be able to find groups who can provide you with food hampers to help cut down the cost of your food bills.

One of the biggest issues I often see with getting help when you are in financial distress is actually finding the services that are out there to help you in those times of need. This is where the groups that I mention above can really help you out.

This isn't your fight. Leave it be. Live YOUR life. You're too old to be narcing on your sister about grades.

As others have mentioned, you're offended by her dishonesty...but you violated her privacy? Nah. Move along.

Sorry, that really sucks. I can understand. I had a stupid stuffed camel toy since a kid from my grandma. I lost it amid moves between cities and still miss it. All I had that was good from childhood. The ring issue sucks too, but is "just money". Hadn't been gifted yet. I lost my wedding ring and was devastated, cheap $50 thing but meant a lot. Ate the $ and got exact same one again new.
