Smartphone possibilities --- looking at something like this to possibly go with any future smartphone I get or use --- not sure on security, nevermind safety, nor durability but it may at least enable fuller use.

*I'll be going here - stopping by a location in all likelihood to get to Nevada & home, so with their exchange/return policy, I should be able to get that sorted before I get all the way back home.

@PrPl I went with what's needed & best most of the past 5 years, namely "towards self sufficiency", not really a matter of my preference overall, as I generally prefer protests but I can't do them much if at all, over where I live & my medical limits, beyond which my second favorite is discussion & writing on things but until I've got my home & tech setup improved - I won't really be decent nor consistent in that realm....& I'm realizing that I too often have had the disposition of a prickly pear cactus lately, which doesn't help in things.

Hey friends,

So many of you stepped up to help me reach my goal for my dental needs and I canโ€™t thank you enough for it. Iโ€™m on the path of getting my mouth taken care of which is all the yay.

However, a dear friend of mine just had their AC go out on them with no real hope of repairs or replacements possible due to their income.

They are blind and neurodiverse like myself, have breathing conditions that are effected by the heat, as well as indoor cats that live with them as emotional support.

It's one thing for me to ask for help for myself, but please, Fedi, if you can, please consider helping my friend. No one needs to be dealing with this heat during this time of year.

They are one of the nicest people I know and have been struggling so hard up until this point to keep their head afloat. Thereโ€™s been quite a few times now that Iโ€™ve been in some bad headspaces and they helped me get through another rough patch.

To say I personally vouch for them is an understatement.

So please guys, if you have it to spare, please consider helping my friend stay cool through the hottest part of the year. I would consider it a huge favor to me.

And as always, if you donโ€™t have it to spare, thatโ€™s perfectly fine. A boost goes a long way as well as maybe a nice word or few for them to help keep spirits up. @ [email protected]

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. I love you all.

I'm so beyond touched right now, I can't begin to tell say how much.

All the Kayls hugs and gratitudes from myself and my GF who has been besides herself with worry for me.

Thank you. I will pay this forward and always remember this.

Update: 1045 out of 1700! THANK YOU!
Hey guys, I really hate asking again, but can I get some help with this maybe?

I'm 995 towards my goal of 1700. Details within, but all assistance go towards helping me pay off debts and bills so that I can get the help I need for my mouth which is beyond emergency need at this point.

If you can't donate, please share for visibility.

Love and hugs, and thanks for your consideration.

UPDATE: 1045 out of 1700! THANK YOU!
Hi all. My name is Kaylie, though most of my friends just call me Kayls or Fox, and for those who don't know me, I am a queer and trans deafblind autistic student and I'm trying really hard to raise the required funds that I need so that I can finally get the necessary dental work done so that I may have a better quality of life free of pain and debilitating and health-endangering infections and complications.

I've been posting this for a week now. We've made amazing progress and I love and appreciate all of you for the shares and donations thus far, but I really want to close this thing out with a happy ending.

We're 985 out of 1700 dollars in. So very close now, a lot closer than we were last week, so please, anything and everything helps.

I know times are really hard right now for everyone and I hate asking, but if you have a little extra you can spare, it would be more than appreciated.

All funds go towards paying off debts and bills so I can get the emergency dental help I need as I'll be able to work with a payment plan and therefore able to finally get relief from this torcher that is my mouth.

Full situation on the GFM.

Please and thank you so much for your consideration.

With all the love in the world,
Kaylie ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ

The patches indoors to help make at least indoors where we sleep keep failing so, the need to get materials to really fix the roof which are about $600, are becoming all the more pressing as without them, as until said roof is fixed, sleeping during rainstorms won't really be possible... Even as I'm looking for other possible patches on said mess.

This being beyond the $1,100 needed for the car - including a coolant fluid change & all new breaks before winter begins.
*Edit upwards by $50 as today the breaks cost $24 more as said parts rose in cost by said 6% & I expect the other pair to rise in cost at least a little more too before I can get them & another $50 for the mailbox replacement needed. No donations received on this so far, instead I am just getting more bills.
Help if you can https://t.co/xfNNdDd2hm

On the one hand the continually changing weather forecast from the websites I use is superbly annoying but as painful & annoying as my medical conditions are with regards to their weather predicating prowess, they offer a measure of comfort unlike the websites... Which are pretty purely irratents! #DisabledNotDisposable

@broadwaybabyto
Definitely, as it truly is ridiculous for me to find on a pretty continual basis that between my repeated visits to gardening supply stores, farm/ranch supply stores, hardware stores, gyms, car repair places, grocery stores and medical centers, it is only this last categories- medical centers that I've any real issues getting any of my business with them done, which don't have work arounds for me. Grocery stores definitely having problems, but medical centers & setups are at least 10 fold worse!

*Sometimes lately I wonder if I shouldn't just get one of my brahma chickens (most likely a rooster, as those boys like to be lap chickens a little more) into a harness & leash setup, to bring with me & cluck in person at all the messes. ๐Ÿคช
