Cook county, inmate phone card

Hey,
I am currently doing an Internship in Sweden ans I need to obtain an internet subscription (wifi or SIM card). But every time, internet providers ask for a Personnummer, BankID or a swedish phone number, but since I am not swedish, I don't have any of that. Have you some advice for me ?
The only solution I saw is to obtain an eSIM card, but my phone is not compatible with that, so it doesn't not work for me...

I'm curious if anyone has any commands or tricks that they have only taught to there cockers? Stuff that they didn't find necessary or think it would work as well with other dog breeds? I don't mean working dog training btw. More like teaching them "out" to mean go to the other side of the nearest doorway to deal with their shadow tendencies. Being able to send them out so you can use the bathroom in peace or cook without tripping over them😆
Sorry for any formatting weirdness, I'm on my phone.

Mum (80, Parkinson's disease) decided to emigrate to my sister's country in December last year. I warned sister to get a POA asap, and sort her banking out. I also asked mum to transfer money to sis for the transition in person, from her bank (they're outside the IBAN system), but she wanted to stay in control. Sis is too tired/stressed all the time, while I see restaurant visit after restaurant visit every week, and all sorts of purchases that have nothing to do with mum (I still have access to mum's internet banking). None of my business, but at this rate mum only has money for another 5 years.
This month, there is a dodgy transaction on her card, and mum gets a warning email from her bank (I confront sis, my husband suggests it's one of the grandchildren who tried to buy a game on grandma's card). "Absolutely not! My children are saints!". I tell her to double check, as the bank will block mum's card that they've all been living off these months. "It was my youngest, please fix it". Next day, the bank has blocked mums card.
Now, we've been trying for a week to get her bank to unblock the card. Of course, they try to contact mum directly, but she has CANCELLED her phone contract (no one told her to do this). The bank says they can do nothing - permanent POAs dont exist in that country, you have to draft one for every issue. Now I'm getting desperate calls from my sister, mum's in hospital with a UTI and they can't pay the medical bills. We've tried to get some of mum's old friends in the banks country to help (she's alienated most). They suggest I should transfer some of my savings to my sister, while this gets sorted.
I mean, I TOLD everybody this could happen - I even spoke to the bank, with mum, wheb I was there and they said "you can just call and get it sorted". Where the heck do you go from here?!

My husband was set to deploy in May of 2025, we just got married in September so we had plenty of time to change everything, figure out our lives as a married couple, and start trying for a family. He is a part of the US National Guard so military isn’t our entire life, he has a civilian job that he works full time then takes off once a month for drill. He has a longer summer drill that’s usually 2-4weeks long once a year. Then of course if the NG is needed somewhere for an emergency he will go. Just to clarify how that part works for those who aren’t familiar 😊
Well yesterday he left for his month long drill, he will be gone until the end of June. Around noon he called me with absolutely unexpected news - he has been moved from the May 2025 deployment to the September 2024 one. He doesn’t have exact dates yet so we only have 1-2 months after he gets home to get everything squared away and I don’t even know what we need to get done now.
So far I have: - change my last name and get a DEERS card (what exactly is that? 😅) - update his will (he already has me listed as his medical POA) - set up a financial POA/way to access his bank accounts since he won’t be able to - his phone? Do I have to do something with that?
Please help a girl out, I want to get as much done that I can do before he gets back. I will take any recommendations, tips, advice! This will be our second deployment as a couple, the first one was very early in our relationship back in 2018-19 so I was very much not involved and his parents helped. Now he doesn’t have a relationship with his parents so we don’t have their help.

Currently trying to make a big move to “start anew” and it’s made me reflect on where I am currently in life. I don’t feel like there’s anything about myself that I’m proud of, or accomplishments/goals that I feel motivated to pursue.
A couple years back I could say I was proud of my academic achievements. I was a straight-A, honors roll student who skipped a grade and was involved in lots of extracurriculars and community services. But my grades started to slip during my last years of high school where I was struggling with depression, my eating disorder, and a physically abusive home environment. Fast forward to my sophomore year of college, and I ended up dropping out of school. I went back to school after a year (mainly due to guilt and embarrassment of being a “drop out”), but I can only take classes part time because I have to work full time to support myself. I don’t receive any financial support and live independently of my parents. Because of this, it’s probably going to take me 6 years just to finish my bachelor’s degree, and who knows how long if I want to do postgraduate studies. (It’s a biology degree, so I feel like I kind of have to because I’ve been told many, many times that it’s useless on its own.)
I don’t even really have a passion for what I’m studying, but I feel like I’ve committed too much time and money to this degree to change it now. And to be entirely honest, there isn’t really anything that I’m passionate about. I no longer get to engage with any of my hobbies because I’m constantly busy studying, working, or trying to fix up the piece of shit that I inhabit to make it actually liveable. (Hooray not always having access to water.) I no longer really enjoy doing anything or look forward to doing things “for fun,” and it makes me feel like I don’t have an identity anymore. I used to draw/paint constantly and play video games, but I’ve lost interest in those things since I no longer have time for them. It’s just work, study, work, study. And that’s all I’ve become.
Speaking of work, I absolutely loathe my job. I work “back office,” at a medical clinic, which means I do everything that other people don’t want to do. Everything from getting screamed at over the phone because a frequent flier can’t get anymore hydros after failing their drug test to cleaning up leaks from urostomy bags without proper PPE. I understand these things need to be done, but I get paid minimum wage (even less once the benefits are subtracted from my paycheck), and none of these things were in the job description when I applied. I’m polite, respectful, hardworking, and I come to work on time every day. I never call out, and I only take PTO for emergencies. But none of that matters. I was just supposed to be a “check out” person at the front desk. I’m very low on the workplace totem pole due to my non-licensed position, and so I’m constantly picked on for my appearance and awkward mannerisms, shit on for not being able to do the work of four people by myself, and treated like a dumb child. (And I’m not even the youngest person working there!) The office environment is generally just very catty, it makes me feel like I’m back in middle school and am being picked on as the “weird kid” by a squad of popular tweens. I can’t wait to quit.
I’ve been in a relationship for around 1.5 years, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s me being anxious and overthinking it, but some days I wonder if he’s fallen out of love with me because of how boring my life has become. I never have anything to talk about besides work or school and even those have become stagnant. I’ve gained 20 pounds since we started dating, (which is realistically a good thing because I only weighed 89 before) but I still sometimes feel chunky and gross looking with all the stretch marks. Not to mention the stress from work and school had made me develop pretty bad acne. He was really kind and loving when we first started dating, constantly calling me beautiful and saying how he wanted to grow old together. But now it feels like I only ever get a compliment if I give him one first, and he only ever calls me “cute.” Not beautiful, not sexy, just “cute.” I constantly tell him how handsome I think he is, I compliment his specific attributes that I really like, I tell him how good he looks when he dresses up and how funny/sweet he is, but I don’t really get any of that back. Instead, he constantly makes “playful” mean jokes and when I ask him to stop he’ll say he’s just joking but then go right back to it an day later. I’m wondering if he’s also just burnt out from his somewhat recent nightshift job at a production plant and is just perpetually in a bad mood because of it and taking it out on me.
I really want to talk to him about this, but I’m a bad people pleaser and fear standing up for myself due to my abusive upbringing. And I feel pathetic asking him to compliment me and be nice to me more, it feels like I’m forcing him to pretend he’s attracted to me. I also feel like I contribute a lot more than him: I paid for everything back when he was unemployed for 6 months and lived with me. (Currently it’s 50-50 for bills.) I do all of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dishes, home repairs, and housework. I work a second job to meet ends. I don’t like having to do everything but he grew up in a hoarding home and was genuinely never really taught how to keep a house from becoming disgusting. And I just really don’t have the time or energy to sit him down and try to explain everything to him, considering the fact I started learning this stuff when I was a child and am still figuring it out to this day. I’m also having to do all the work for finding an apartment 1500 miles away because (surprise surprise!) his dirt poor, hoarding single mother never taught him any financial skills. But again, I’ve never really sat him down and had a serious talk about this. I see a future with him and I want us to try and fix things, I just don’t know how to communicate that. (I never really learned healthy communication due to my home life and I usually blow up or start bawling whenever I am having a difficult conversation.) He says I make him so happy and that I’m the only woman in the world for him, and I truly do love him and want the both of us to be happy together. He’s always there to listen when I need to vent about work and just being held in his arms makes me feel better. I want to fix these minor problems, because he’s honestly the only thing that makes me happy anymore and the only thing I’m currently looking forward to is leaving this dead end town with him and starting a better life.
I guess I’m mainly just looking for reassurance that my life will get better someday, and I won’t spend the rest of my life as a robot going through the motions to keep a roof over my head.

Hey folks, I'm a 23y student and fairly new to world of CC ( 3months old). I got the Money back + from hdfc which was pre approved 3-4 months ago; today I received a phone call from the bank informing me that I was eligible for "UPI credit card". Now my question is that, 1. what exactly does it mean? 2. I currently have a MasterCard, will issuing the new card change it to rupay? 3. Should I take it or not? Feel free to correct me and guide me. I'm sorry if I'm not asking the right questions. Thanks.

I had a telephone compliance interview some days ago and during the phone call I was asked if I had any savings higher than £6000 which I don't and replied accordingly. I was also asked if I was receiving money from anyone and I replied that I received assistance from time to time from family in low amounts. I then asked why I was getting these questions and was told that they received a report from the bank from 2021/22 financial year stating that I had around £39,000 in savings. I was shocked by this and expressed it because I don't think anyone in their right mind would have that and still be claiming Universal Credit. I lost my job and have a baby so I don't work and barely cover my priority expenses as it is. I also have more than £40,000 in credit card debts. My mental health has struggled greatly as a result.
The person kept prodding and asked if I owned a house and I replied yes. She then asked how much my deposit was and I told her. At the end of the call, we kind of concluded that perhaps the money must have been from when I was building my deposit 2 years ago. They also stated that my N.I number was linked to a different address in a town I have never been to. At the end of the call, I was asked to send in my bank statements from when I first started claiming UC which was less than 6 months ago and long after I bought my house.
I have been very baffled by this. Can banks just send reports to DWP about someone's savings from years before applying? Could the person have been making it up? Also, the N.I thing is bothering me.
I have been driving myself crazy with thoughts about this and would appreciate any insight into this.
Many thanks

Wifi - We bought the Premier (paid) Wifi package for one (12 days). - The package support one connection at a time, not just one device, so my wife and I can take turns using the internet on the same account. You simple log into the apex-guest wifi, go to login.com, login and say switch device. I use Android and she uses iPhone. No issues.

• Router - when we get back to the room I plug in our GL.iNet router and we can use that network on all our devices at the same time on that one account. I sometime need to reboot my phone. Connect to your router on your routers network and login to your Apex wifi account again. There are a number of tutorials on setting up your router. I won't go into that. I would recommend you set it up at home first.
  
• TV - Chromecast did not work for use, but Samsung Smart View did. On the remote, press CC, then Menu, scroll down to Support, Source List, Screen Mirror and connect Smart View. Use Home button to exit.
  
• VPN - VPN works with Apex (paid) Wifi. You can connect to TV services in the counties as well as your home country, however you will drop your TV Smart View connection since you'll no longer be able to reach devices on the local Apex network. I highly recommend VPN if you plan on doing anything financial. I used Proton VPN.
  
• Room Controls - Lights, TV and thermostat. It took me a while to find these. They are buried in the menu under Shortcuts (round icons at the bottom of the Apex app page). Go to More, Stateroom. It works with either Apex network, (free or paid) but the Stateroom icon seems to disappear when your device is not connected directly to the Apex network (like through the router)
  
• Unlock room with device. Couldn't find this.
  

Hope this helps!

Hi people! Vodafone is unfortunately shutting down their cheap and reliable GPS tracking service via their Curve device. Such a shame.
To replace it and avoiding the same situation in the future, I won't buy a new tracker with a subsciption plan.
I want to repurpose one of my old smartphones.
My chances are:

• Nokia 500: GPS, A-GPS
  
• Nokia 701: GPS, A-GPS
  
• Samsung Galaxy S7: GPS, GLONASS, BDS
  
• Samsung Galaxy S6: GPS, GLONASS, BDS
  
• Samsung Galaxy S3 NEO: GPS, GLONASS
  
• Samsung Galaxy A5 2017: GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS
  

I would choose the Nokia 500 because its standby time is INSANE.
Note that the phone will be constatly on charge whenever I turn on the car. But the standby time is still important since the device has to last long enough while I'm on holiday or I can't use the car for long periods of time.
The phone will have a SIM card inserted with a minimal data plan.
But what about precision, reliability and signal strenght?
The Vodafone Curve uses a GPS/LBS/A-GPS type of conenction, plus GSM connectivity.
Why not my insurance company? Because they don't offer this kind of service :(

Hello there,
Before we dive in, let's talk dealbreakers. These are non-negotiables for me, so if any apply to you, it's best to skip my post. (Please respect my preferences, and refrain from dismissing them as delusional.)
Dealbreakers: - You're not open to relocating in the future. (I've got roots - a home, farm, and a non-remote job. I cannot leave that.) - Hygiene isn't a priority for you. - You're not into anything 'esoteric/occult.' or you think this is bullshit - You're deeply devoted to Christianity, Islam, or Judaism. (I'm Pagan; our paths won't align.) - You thrive in big cities and can't imagine village life. - Exotic travels are your thing. - You're just here for casual dating, not something serious. - You deny the reality of mental illnesses. (I'm on my way to becoming a therapist.) - You're not a fan of girls with piercings and tattoos. - Basic live skills like cooking or cleaning aren't your forte. - You're without a job or driving license. - Future children aren't in your plans. - Monogamy isn't your style.
If you don't check any of those boxes, let's continue:
Bonus Points if: - You're into Slavic/Nordic folklore. - You reside in Europe. - You're curious and love to learn. - You're open to a Female-Led-Relationship (FLR). - Phone calls about your day, thoughts, and dreams are your jam. - Fantasy, games, and all things nerdy excite you.
About me:
I stand at 150cm, currently 75kg (and dropping), a curvy brunette. Though my background is in IT engineering, I've veered off that path. However, if you're in the field, I can still keep up with the tech talk! Glasses, piercings, tattoos - they're all part of me. I believe that love transcends appearances; I'm more interested in brains and skills than looks. In your first message Tell me something about yourself. What is your favourite flower? Feel free to slide into my DMs (untill i will find my Prince Charming)
I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

Was burglarized and had my social security card, original birth certificate, utility bill, credit cards, certified name change order, old voided IDs, mail, documents with my emails and phone numbers, various other items stolen.
I'm in Nevada. Following the pinned post but I'm wondering what is stopping this person from getting a new ID in my name (all they effectively need is one of those identity documents to get a standard ID here.
Or to put mail forwarding on by verifying identity with the stolen info and getting my SSN pin for MySS and things like that.
I'm pretty rattled. Any other advice?

So I'm in Europe for a post grad trip with a good buddy of mine. We've both just graduated with engineering degrees, and he has a job and I am currently interviewing. I had one yesterday, for a large defense contractor that was pretty interesting. I did well on the interview, and the manager told me I'd be moving to a final phone screen and I was "looking really good". Fast forward to that evening, and my friend and I are out on a pub crawl in the city, and he goes missing. I was a bit drunk, and instead of texting my friend ask him where he is I TEXTED THE MANAGER AND TRIED TO CALL HIM TWICE. Maybe he saw it as a mistake but oh my god I am so embarrassed. It's actually one of the stupidest, dumbest things I've ever done. I think I blew it completely with that company, and wow do I feel like a piece of shit. I have the follow up call later today and can only hope I can explain my mistake and apologize. Does anyone have any advice??? Or just tell me I'm cooked.

Initially, I did not want to say anything to anyone but I have a big mouth and I cry easily. Even my friends are getting annoyed.
F 32, single, and currently unemployed since March, seeking a master's education abroad. I need financial support from my parents mainly for visa documents, (they will lend me €1K in debit card). I have savings too but it is not accepted :( My 68-year-old dad is sponsoring me. I had to cancel two trips, and a lip-filling appointment because I didn't want my mom (F 57) to think I am getting rebellious against her.
It was already there, very little things she did to control me but two months ago I got very drunk at a friend's house and she (literally) sensed it, called me, and said she was picking me up with the car. She gets dreams or other psychic clues when I am about to do something. Until today, she forcefully manipulated me, often sneaking into my room and listening to my door when I was chatting with my friends on the phone. We had a huge fight a week ago because she heard me complaining to my bff and she made me cry afterward, accusing me of why I portrayed her as a bad mother. I never expected her to console me but she sat on her couch and I saw the hate and disgust in her eyes. I also believe my dad is not angelic compared to her, he acts more understanding but he's kind of evil too. I fully believe he's encouraging mom's controlling behavior, and she finds herself as a bridge between me and dad.
My friends are also getting tired, I feel it before they say anything, especially my BFF told me to "stop, you are not a child yet acting like one". They are telling me to go out shopping, live my youth, and find a boyfriend but I don't have the energy to flirt and be affectionate with a male. Thanks to my mom, I always play an attention seeker role in relationships, I get very demanding and casually manipulate the guys with ghosting. I also pick the unreliable guys, those younger than me, who earn less than me, and break hearts.
My point is, somewhere in my 20s my parents trusted me but somewhere I messed up. Or maybe their trust was fake and once they realized I was fully adult, earning a monthly salary and spending it, plus deciding to go visit places, and holidays without their consent they started to freak out. I don't need any helping tips, it will mostly go like this until I leave the house. Once I board on that plane I plan to never call my parents until the Christmas holidays. I know that with my absence their senses will come right. Thank you for reading.

Hello, I’m looking to buy the s22 flip to regulate my screen time and for its ruggedness (I’m clumsy and a cleaner). however I am uncertain on its ability to function with uk based providers, namely, Tesco mobile. Tesco mobile works the best in the county I’m in, so I don’t ideally want to switch. However if there is a better one for the phone I would consider it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I know he loves me and wants to make sure we (our kids) are okay but I don’t think he actually likes me.
We have been married for 5 years and recently have a 3 month old girl and a 9 year old son (from My precious relationship)
He spends most of his day taking care of the little one while the older is at school. I work part time and am starting up a business. When I’m home I do my share of parenting/cleaning/cooking/laundry. I do all the emotional labor in raising the 9 year old because he and my husband don’t connect in that way.
He spends 90% of his free time on his phone/laptop/watching tv. He never compliments me, never shows affection in public but sometimes at home he will smack my bottom or give me a forehead kiss. Once we were out with friends and I made a kissing noise in his direction and he straight turned me down saying he was “too hot”. I was so embarrassed. I wasn’t trying to get a full blown kiss just a peck.
We don’t follow each other on social media (I unfollowed him a year ago when I caught him messaging another woman. He was joking with her about sex). But he is very active on there. He devotes a lot of attention to it.
I can’t remember the last time he said I was pretty, or told me I was a good mom, or gave me any kind of compliment really. I’ve gained some weight since the second baby and have been feeling really insecure (I’ve told him this) and it’s just kinda in one ear and out the other.
:/
