Been using it for like two years now. It's great. No need for anything else.

Since a recipe can be for multiple services, the ability to scale a recipe down would be helpful.

This is added. Please download the latest version on app store. Also live on the website.

Yes this has been added to my todo list. Thank you.

Any plans to add the ability to have waiver/release forms for an event that need to be signed?

I didn’t think of that.

Reference please. I'm not aware of any state or federal law that prohibits mixed gender children from sharing a room in a private residence (foster care and other institutional situations do have regulations).

Mt Aggie, a synthetic ski slope is the only one in Texas I know of.

From webster - relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts

So it is more the opposite of specific than objective. I think your confusion comes from colleges using holistic to mean they looks at things beyond beyond objective measurements like test scores and GPA

I know what it's supposed to mean. I also know that it is never used in that sense. That meaning is gone.

I don't know why you think this but you are incorrect.

Especially in health, wellness, and nutrition, holistic is used to mean 'concerning the whole' all the time.

After verifying that the person isn't just venting and looking for empathy, I'll put in my plug for learning about the transtheoretical model of change [1]. Step one is determining whether the person even sees a problem. If they don't, you can ask questions about what would things look like if there was a problem. But there is no point in giving advice until the preparation or action stages. Before that your best avenue is asking the right questions (see motivational interviewing [2]).

That's simply not true. If you did not pay into Social Security for at least 40 quarter, the only way you can get retirement Social Security is through marriage (spouse benefit or survivor benefit). You can qualify for both benefits even if you're divorced if you were married at least 10 years. I'm ignoring disability benefits for the moment.

For those who qualify for Social Security the minimum benefit for 2024 is $50.90/mo (10 yrs of work) and $1,066.50 for 30 years of work [1].

Most of my neighbors are considered disabled by the Social Security Administration and they all get at least $943 a month from the Administration -- even the ones who never had a paying job -- and when they get old enough (66 years and a few month in one recent case) they no longer have to prove that they are still disabled to continue to receive the income.

For what you write to be true, the Administration would have to have a rule that if you apply for disability income when you are of working age, you get enough to survive for life even if you paid nothing into the system (through FICA), but if you apply past the retirement age and you didn't pay into the system, you get basically nothing. I suppose that could be true (and I'm not going to search the web to try to find out) but it seems unlikely.

If you have a very strong work ethic, but have piss-poor ability to get paid a decent income and never applied for Social Security disability income, you've almost certainly worked some and consequently paid some amount into the system. When you get to retirement age, my strong guess (although I don't have personal knowledge) is that the SSI program kicks in such that the combination of your month Social Security retirement check and the SSI check adds up to $943 if you are single (plus $20 because the first $20 per month of non-SSI income is not counted) just like the millions of chronic schizophrenics that went on SSI in their 20s who never paid any FICA.

But if someone replies saying that they personally know an American with no other sources of income and no savings who has applied, but gets less than $943 a month from Social Security, I'll believe them.

ADDED. If you apply for disability or retirement benefits, the Administration automatically assesses whether you qualify for SSI benefits: one application suffices for both programs.

I have to agree. When I was working with a carpenter union, one of their big problems was that members would see their pension balance get large at which point they would stop working long enough to trigger emergency access to the pension and then withdraw the money to buy a truck or other expensive item they wanted. As a result, even though the union had a pretty good pension system, many of their members were sabotaging their retirements.

If you transfer within the state system probably 95% to 100% of the credits will transfer depending on how careful you are in your choices. If you transfer to another state's system you can probably get 70% to 90% of the credits to transfer. Some state systems are more compatible than others. If you are going to a private school the percentages are typically much worse 20% to 50%. There are a few like USC which do a lot better.
