I'm still waiting to hear what temp you deem chilly. It was freakin 27 F when I left for work this morning.
That sounds like the perfect cuddle weather.

P.S. The next time I feel inclined to throw on a puffy jacket, I'll pay attention to the temperature and report back. Lol!

I wanted to model my tuk-douche-scarf, and searched all weekend, but I think I left it at the cabin

Just got another e90. It was my dream since i was younger to have a bunch of e90s but why am i gravitating to just keeping this stock. I literally bought stock 2010 328i wheels. I love how it looks stock? My two other e90s have apex arc 8. Bilstein suspension, bushings and m3 arms. But i went outta my way and got stock wheels for this car. Ima reveal it soon here when i get back home from school. Its a 2010 328i 6mt. Its Grey over tan. Comfort access no sport pkg. Pretty nice. Am i getting old when I dont want to modify it? I have plans like putting oem sport suspension on it and THATS IT.

This isn't a confession as much as a rant. I am a CASA Advocate and frustrated with my case. DCFS is a shit show. I honestly don't know how we haven't overhauled this organization and allow them to have so much power over kids lives. I've been on a case since October 2020. My case just got assigned a new worker who admitted she hasn't read the full file and has only seen the child in person once. I shared with her what I was going to testify in court she said I won't agree with that. You admitted you don't even have all the facts and only have seen the child once but yet you know what's best???? The sad thing is even if the judge agrees with me she can only recommend to DCFS to make a change. DCFS is the one who makes the decisions. Kids deserve better people fighting for them.
*I know not all DCFS workers are bad but hell I haven't had a good track record with the ones I've come across.

I can't decide if I should feed the people tucked away in my basement, or take the psychopathy test. I'll most likely do neither.

Per a webinar I watched on grooming behaviors of child molestors 1/100 is a psychopath.

To feed them??? That's barbaric!!! I'd rather just spray them with a hose and dump some lice powder on them. They can eat when I feel like they've earned it....stench or not.

1 out of every 100 child molesters who groom themselves are psychopaths? I figured those numbers would be higher.

Begs the question, how do child molesters groom themselves?

That's cool that you are doing that - thank you for your service. Children really are precious, as much as mine drive me up the wall, I do love them and I'm glad there are people like you out there advocating for children who don't have an advocate in their parents. You can make a huge difference in their lives, I'm sure of it.

I appreciate the kind words. I don't know if I want to continue after this. You are trying to make a difference but honestly DCFS has such a chip on their shoulder when it comes to advocates. We should be working together for the better interest of the child. They have so many cases they can't possibly be on top of everything. Hence, the deaths and abuse of children in their care. They take it personally lots of times & you don't get anywhere.

Damn, that sounds terrible! Hope it gets resolved in the way it benefits the child.

Sadly not surprised people half ass that though, been watching the documentary on Gabriel Fernandez and it's absolutely horrible how people blatantly refused to do something at all.

It did not end well. The grandfather attacked me personally on the phone and I'm resigning tomorrow. The system is extremely broken and I feel like I'm not making a difference. The DCFS worker who hasn't even been on the case a month and a half just stirred up a bunch of shit and made things awful. I don't need this drama in my life. I want to help but when you feel like you're just speaking to speak and it holds no gravity, what's the point?

This is solely volunteer. I don't make any money and this is not associated at all with my actual job.

I'm just so upset. I really don't understand how a social worker gets to have so much authority. This one doesn't even know the entire case and formed a decision. That's not ok. It's not objective. One person gets to be the deciding factor on a child's life. There should be a panel of at least 3 people looking at it objectively. I'm just frustrated and venting.

Vent away. We're listening. In my experience with DCFS, they either do too much/don't know enough or they do little to nothing at all.
