As such, there’s one death to mourn and like four to actively celebrate.

No death should be actively celebrated, imo. No matter who they were, or what they’ve done, they were people. Every single human being that has ever existed, or will ever exist, deserves at least the same level of baseline respect. And for me, that includes not celebrating their death.

I’m not telling other people not to feel the way they do, to be clear here. Emotions are individual, and no emotion is inherently wrong to feel. I just want people to leave me out of that celebration, and not assume I feel the same way they do.

(I realize that I started this thread here, so obviously not talking about you in particular. More people on the other parts of the internet I visit that don’t take “please don’t have this conversation with me” as a valid response to a topic I dislike)

You should see what applying for ODSP is like when your spouse has a mental illness and the doctor “doesn’t have time” to sign the papers for 10+ years…

I’m very glad I don’t have that experience! I know a couple people on ODSP and it’s definitely a nightmare trying to apply and then managing all the restrictions they place on you.

I agree that some things are a little confusing about Rose’s scenario in particular. And she definitely needs some help navigating the legal and tax side of all of this!

Freezies! Orange is the best, followed by red and then white/clear.
