Teamsters 245 represent a number of local manufacturers. It’s a mixed bag though. Husband and I are both union members with different employers, and we make way better money than we would otherwise, but the union isn’t as strong in other areas as we would like and it can feel like they’re “in bed” with the company sometimes.

Used to work in a production facility there. The novelty wore off quickly. Is there something in particular you’re curious about?

Weird. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any reason that would be, but then I’m not a physician. I’d rather not put it out there publicly but if you’d like to know what clinic/doctor my husband uses feel free to PM.

To clarify again, the doctor doesn’t FILL the prescription he sends it to the pharmacy. I don’t think any GP has controlled meds like that on hand.
And I expect seeing a psych for BPD is absolutely normal. I would not expect my GP to treat that.

My husband gets his ADHD treatment through his regular physician (Mercy) and fills the prescription at Walgreens. No specialist required.

I don’t think reading has directly done anything at all for my career, but that’s not why I do it so ymmv.
For context I read a mix of fiction and non fiction with the non being primarily history. Fiction ranges from classics to mass market horror.
I started using a reading tracker for the first time in November, and have read a bit over 2500 pages since then, plus some audiobooks.
So if reading is a magical career booster I’ve been overlooked. 😂

I wish, but alas. I have a lot less talent and money.

I love both… 😬 I’m mildly worried that says something about me, though I don’t know what that would be.

Reply to Experiences living in West Central? by sun-w0rshipper
Lives on west college when I was renting and honestly I had fewer problems than when I purchased in a much nicer neighborhood.
A lot went on, but I was left alone. In the nicer neighborhood people are more apt to think I might have something they want.
WC had a lot of domestic incidents. I saw multiple police chases, including on foot through my yard. But rarely did anyone actually interfere with me or my property. A couple times drugged out people wandered into my backyard at weird hours but they were more lost than anything else. Once a stolen car was abandoned in the alley. Nothing concerning as far as personal safety.
Now I live in an affluent neighborhood smack in the middle of the north side and I’ve seen it all. Had a methed out couple try to walk in my front door in the middle of the day. Found a guy hiding on my back deck at 3am. Have had outdoor decorations stolen.
Nowhere in Springfield is crime free. 🤷♀️
