2024.05.19 11:45 Meeples17 Boomer Cant Accept We Dont Shout and Scream when we Dont Get our Way

I come from a generally abusive upbringing and I just went No Contact with my Family.
I put TLDR at the end. It is alot.
I think Narcicism is part of their entire generational culture after the break with all my Family Elders.
I moved away from home and in with a kind fun loving man. I became stable! I got an amazing job. Best of my career.
My Family couldnt stand it, I wasnt desperate or needy and available for their game playing.
My Dad got angrier and angrier on every phone call. Shouting abuse at me about decision. I should not ever order takeout! I havent got a sizable retirement plan. Dont take a loan on a decent car. You dont have a house. Its a waste. He owns million in real estate and never runs AC in his own house. If he does it for a guest hell tell them how its a big deal. He believes in saving…
The derision continued until I confronted him about hus behaviour. It was a careful well thought out conversation. Complaints are unwelcome in my Family. I told my Dad directly. You are losing your temper everytime were on the phone and Im worried about you. This could be early stage dementia. Will you please see a Doctor?
When I was on disability he loved playing kind supportive Dad. Now Im flying on my own and he is losing his mind.
My criticism led to a years worth of drama. It was a slow creep. He would ask me about work. I thought we were being civil. And then I started getting emails from his Sister. Shes worried about me. His Brother makes a trip to Montreal and he says three different reasons why hes here. I feel checked up on. My Sister calls and reminds me gently. Be careful ya know youre “Special”.
Im legit making 87k a year in a Unicorn Startup. Its amazing.
I lose my job during a round of layoffs. Budget cuts. Didnt make sales targets. Im low hanging fruit. Im going to collect max EI. The company is generous and gives me a months notice so I can jobhunt.
This is my Dads big moment. Hes on the phone checking in and he moves to destroy me. Oh Rose! You dont have to lie. You got FIRED! That happens sometimes. Listen. Why dont you move back? Plenty of part time jobs here. Less stress. This always happens to you… (It does not)
I get off the phone shaking. Wtf is this trash. I have two letters of recommendation and lifelong contacts and the launch of a career.
To cut to the chase. He had gone behind my back and started rumours Im doing drugs and lying to the Family constantly. He said my new bf is a drug dealer. He cant understand why I left my Husband (actual drug addict)
Total assault on my character and ran me right out of the Family. Im honestly glad to never talk to any of my 18 Cousins 8 Aunts and Uncles or 6 Sisters and Brothers ever again. None of them believe a word I say anymore. They want that Old Family Money.
Im officially unsafe. And its shocking but. Get wreckt. My Dad thinks hes the King and I MUST worship and faun over him. Puke. I have an opinion.
TLDR. I offended my Father when I called him on his bad behaviour for the first time. So he convinced my entire Family Im in a DV situation and using hard drugs. Noone cares what I say because he pays a lot of their bills… and takes them on vacation around the world.
For Reference see. Crabs in a Bucket. Or. George Carlin. There might be something wrong with you. You might be surrounded by ash holes.

2024.05.19 11:37 lavayuki Advice regarding buying a house or flat in Manchester?

Hi everyone, I have been renting for years, I am 31 and have a goal to buy property in Manchester within the next year. I am single, live alone on a single income and good credit score, and for a long time I always thought I would buy a flat especially with all these new flats sprouting like mushrooms all over the city centre with pools, gyms etc... However, have been following this thread for ages, the majority seem to favour a house due to flats being leasehold, service charges and ground rents increasing, having to buy parking etc...
I currently live in a one bed flat in city centre where I live in one of those buy to rent places with gym etc. for 1140 a month, and pay NCP to park my car which used to be 100 a month when I first moved it, but has increased to 200 a month... so £1340 a month. Impossible to find another rental as 30+ people at viewings so I want to buy. I had put it off because of my job needing me to move every few months, but this is not the case now as I found a new stable job in Manchester.
I have been on rightmove looking at both houses and flats to see what is out there, however am not familiar with the areas outside of the city centre if I were to buy a house. I have a deposit and help from parents, so my budget would be in the region of 350k according to the online calculators. Most of my friends have bought houses in areas like cheadle, prestwich, middleton, chorlton, sale etc.. Only one colleague has bought a flat in Spinningfields and also Deansgate as she likes city centre living.
I have lived in rental flats in city centres of various big cities for my whole adult life, but a house seems attractive in terms of size, parking, no service and ground rent, and also easier to have pets. Burglary and safety always kind of put me off houses though, so am unsure between a flat and house as a single women. I also prefer urban or near urban where other young people like me live rather than rural/countryside.
For those who bought houses or flats in Manchester, do you have any advice on how to go about this and some nice areas in my price range if I were to buy a house and live alone?
Also, is buying one of the million flats in city centre a good option or a bad idea?
Also how long does it usually take? I start a new job at the start of June so I know it might take time to prove income for a mortgage. My rental contract ends end of July, so I can extend it by 6 months or a year to give me time. The rental market is insane so finding a new cheaper place with parking for just a year will probably end in failure.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

2024.05.19 11:33 bro4evr Tips while buying new?

Dad would be buying a new car in the next couple months, can someone please share detailed steps to follow while buying?
Like okay, PDI is one thing, what about insurance, booking amount, down payment, registration, temporary/permanent number plate, etc.
Also what clauses/pointers to confirm with sales person before paying booking amount, like if later PDI denied, wbu refund of booking amount? etc.
For discount, accessories, shall we check with multiple dealers, any tips for haggling?

2024.05.19 11:31 ArticleWise6209 Received car crash settlement when I was 6 now 29 and have never seen any of the money or know what happened to it. Looking for where I can find info on it.

When I was around 5-6 I was in a pretty serious car accident caused by another driver which gave me a concussion and severe burns on one side of my face which eventually healed. Both me and the person driving (not parental figure) received insurance payouts and mine was smaller as my injuries were less severe.
I don't even know how much money I received in the settlement as I never was allowed to look at any official paperwork but remember it being around 3-4k or at least I think so (not really sure). From my understanding I was supposed to receive the money at 18 and my plan was to help pay for college with it but I think the money was used before I turned 18 by my parents and the money was used in a way which never really benefited me. So I have always been curious if I can somehow see a document that shows the settlement and what it specified the money be used for or where the money was placed? Does anyone know where I could possibly find it and what exactly was specified in it? I know this settlement is very old so not sure if anything is still able to be found but Id ppreciate if anyone could point me in some direction to find out what I'm looking for or if I'm looking for something that can't be found. Thank you

2024.05.19 11:18 JG98 Forgotten legend Shamshad Begum, the Panjabi singer that defied social norms and became a prominent Panjabi and Bollywood playback artist

Forgotten legend Shamshad Begum, the Panjabi singer that defied social norms and became a prominent Panjabi and Bollywood playback artist
Shamshad Begum (April 14 1919 - April 23 2013), though primarily known for her vast contribution to Hindi cinema, was a vocalist who transcended language barriers. While her career undeniably shaped the soundscape of Bollywood, her Panjabi roots and forays into the language deserve recognition as well.
Born in Amritsar (some sources state Lahore), into a family consisting of seven other children, Shamshad Begum was raised by a mechanic father and a homemaker mother. She is believed to have received initial training in music from her father. Recognizing her talent, her family encouraged her to pursue a career in singing. This was considered a bold move in a society which still placed more conservative views on women in the performing arts.
Her professional journey began in Lahore, then the cultural hub of Panjab. There, Shamshad landed opportunities to sing for radio broadcasts and possibly even stage performace. As she got a little older, a similar tale of challenging societal norms took place when she fell in love. In 1934, at the age of 15, she once again defied societal norms as well as family opposition to marry Ganpat Lal Batto. This interfaith marriage would prove to be a strong and unwavering relationship, which eventually resulted in the birth of a daughter named Usha.
In 1940, Shamshad Begum would make strides in her singing career when she made her playback singing debut in the film 'Heer Ranjha'. This would mark the beginning of a prolific career that would eventually see her record over 6,000 songs in various languages, including Panjabi. Though Hindi films became the primary focus of her career, she continued to lend her voice to Panjabi productions throughout her career.
Shamshad Begum possessed a distinctive and powerful voice, capable of both delicate emotions and robust energy. This versatility made her a favorite among music composers. In Panjabi cinema, she collaborated with notable music directors like Hansraj Behl. Their songs, like 'Ambian Butiyan Te', showcased her ability to infuse Panjabi folk melodies with her own captivating style and became fan favorites.
Though the specifics of her contributions to early Panjabi filmography are limited, it's evident that her voice resonated with Panjabi audiences. She sang romantic ballads, playful dance numbers, and even patriotic songs that stirred emotions during the tumultuous partition of Panjab.
Shamshad Begum's career peaked between the 1940s and 1950s. In 1955, the death of her husband in a car accident led her to withdraw from public life for a period. Though she did return to singing occasionally, her career had shifted away from playback music.
She lived out the rest of her life with her daughter and son-in-law in Mumbai, devoting herself to her family, particularly her grandchildren. This period of seclusion even led to some media confusion, with rumors of her death circulating in 2004. She passed away peacefully at her Mumbai residence in 2013 at the age of 94.
Despite her reduced presence in the later years, Shamshad Begum's legacy endures. Her Panjabi songs continue to be cherished by music lovers. Some of her most well known Panjabi songs include 'Cheti Doli Tor Babla', 'Batti Baal Ke', 'Chhabbi Di Chunniyan Mein Mal Mal Dhondi Aan', 'Mahi Gaya Pardes Mein Chham Chham Rondi Haan', 'Teri Ghain Di Rakhi', 'Lamba Lamba Bajre Da Sitta', and Heer. While these songs have earned wide acclaim, it is important to mention that a large portion of her Panjabi language artistry has been lost and is yet to be rediscovered.
In Hindi cinema she is known for her collaborations with composers like S.D. Burman, Naushad, O.P. Nayyar, Ghulam Haider, and Madan Mohan, who recognized her versatility and crafted iconic numbers that showcased both her power and emotional range. From the romantic 'Milte Hi Aankhen' in 'Babul' to the playful 'Leke Pehla Pehla Pyar' in 'CID', her voice brought these songs to life. She also excelled in soulful renditions like 'Holi Aayi Re Kanhai' in 'Mother India' and powerful declarations like 'Teri Mehfil Mein Qismat' in 'Mughal-e-Azam'. Many of her Hindi film hits, featuring a blend of Hindi and Urdu with Panjabi influences, became timeless classics.

2024.05.19 11:18 PowerMinute1922 The Man who screams at Daybreak

My last flat was unbearable.
I mean, you try having a family of 11 live above you, when half of them are under the age of 8. Also try having a pair of raging alcoholic neighbours on either side of you. A pair who were once married to each other. My eyes rivalled that of pigeons’ due to no sleep.
I lasted a total of 21 days. I know, new record huh? I just about shoved the keys back in the grubby hands of my landlord when I finally saw the lunacy inscribed on his face. No wonder the rent was dirt cheap.
So I was back on the road, not on the streets though. Luckily enough I started questioning the flat by day 8, looked around for another place by day 15, and made a decision to get the hell out on day 18. 3 days of packing and it was bye-bye.
My new place seemed all the better too: yes, the rent was more expensive, and yes, it only has 2 bedrooms. But at least it was a house, one where pesky neighbours were at least 5 metres away. On my right, at least. On my left? Their house - thankfully - couldn’t even be seen where I stood.
Parking my car, I skipped up towards my new house with my fresh set of keys. And on entering? Silence. Perfect still silence. Thank the Lord. I basked in it for a while before returning to my car, unloading some of my baggage. It took 3-4 hauls, but I managed to fit it into one of the bedrooms. Thankfully, the rest of my things were to be brought by moving vans in about an hour.
I envisioned what the house could look like with a few finishing touches.
“But first…”
I eyed the 2 rooms. “Mine!”
The room I had chosen to be mine gave a bright view of my own smaller garden, as well as a portion of my right neighbour’s house, but that didn’t matter much. The view in the other room would suck: just my car and some reeds.
I was just about done heaving some of my baggage into my newly-chosen room when the doorbell gave an obnoxious ring. I stood, fighting the urge to just run away into one of my rooms when it beeped again.
Reaching the door, I eyed out of the peephole to see nothing but an opaque whiteness. I guess the downside in this house is that the last tenant was a slob. I eyed some of the yellowing walls. Sighing, I opened the door.
“Hello! We’re your neighbours, Jack and Sally, and we live just there,” She motioned towards my right, “We came to introduce ourselves, and to let you know that if you ever need anything, we’re right here.”
She then shoved a basket full of biscuits at my chest, a motherly-smile stretched around her lips. She turned to leave, husband - clearly forced to follow her - in tow, when she turned around.
“Your name, dear?”
“Leen!” I shouted after her.
“Perfect.”
And perfect it was, I thought. Neighbours that respect their distance from you, and give you food? I eyed the delicious snacks in front of me. Definitely an upgrade.
Though it was at dawn the very next day that I woke up, shook.
~
See, I was just sleeping in my newly delivered bed when I heard it. Something that sounded like a bird, a huge caw, before it alternated into different pitches. Disoriented, I tried to wipe the sleep from my eyes in order to focus better. But it just made me more confused.
It sounded like a chicken.
As far as I know, this new place was not the countryside, nor farmland. So what? And why?
I stepped up to my window to take a good look outside. I wouldn’t keep a rooster in my home that’s for sure. Whatever it was, it was coming from…
My jaw dropped.
I closed my eyes and scrubbed at them harshly.
Please tell me why I opened my eyes and saw the exact same thing.
A man, on his haunches, face pointed towards the sky, was making rooster noises.
And he was on my neighbours’ garden. The ones I met earlier.
He looked absolutely demented. I wasn’t even scared then, just flabbergasted. I wasted no time calling the police at this disturbing nuisance.
When they arrived though, I saw my neighbours’ shoot straight from their house, speaking or…was it pleading? With the officers. What on Earth..?
Anyway, it was their problem now, so I went back to bed. I had a whole bunch of chores the next day, and had to get it all sorted before I returned to work.
Shutting my eyes, I wished for peace. And quiet, thank you very much.
~
At last, I woke up at 10 AM. By 1 PM, I had sorted my clothing into its respective drawers, and had decorated my bedroom walls, including a new golden addition. And now? I had food cooking on the stove. It felt satisfying, having cleaned up and now awaiting the prize of food.
I scrolled on my phone as I waited for the pasta to cook, before another ding turned my attention towards the door.
“Huh, what now?”
Unfortunately I hadn’t cleaned the peephole yet, so I had to open the door. There stood Jack and Sally. Or Sally and Jack. Jack looked lost. Sally stared deep into my eyes.
“Was it you?”
“Me? What do you mean?”
“That called the police last night?”
I recalled the past night, and gave her a thumbs up, hoping my smile was reassuring. “Yep, don’t worry, that lunatic will not be coming back ever again. He can go to the zoo if he wants to squawk.”
I should’ve taken the cue from Jack’s paling face, but Sally grabbed hold of me. “Listen here, okay? That man, the one you called the police on...” She trembled, “He’s my son! You can’t do that! He was not even on your property!”
My eyes widened. “He’s…your son?”
“Of course! How can you not see that?”
Nodding at her, I relinquished myself from the hold she had on my arms. “Okay then, sorry for the call. But I do have to mention something,” Jack started to shake his head behind his wife, but I ignored the little-to-say man, “Is there any way you can keep the noise down to a minimum? Honestly, your son has vocal cords of steel! It would wake the entire neighbourhood at this rate.”
Sally stared pointedly at me, then took a look around my house. “Very well.”
She grabbed her husband’s arm as she turned to leave, and I caught the slightest look of fear in his eyes before he was abruptly pulled away.
I dismissed it - and the sinking feeling - on discovering my very soft, overcooked pasta when I came back into my home though.
I managed to also do one thing before wrapping up: I cleaned out my door's peephole. Now I wouldn't have to open the door to know it's them. I'd just speak at them from the inside if they were to come back.
~
I woke, jolting out of my bed the very next morning, or night. I checked my bedside clock to see it was 3:50 AM. The cock-a-doodle-doo was breaking into my head. I grasped my hair in frustration, knowing that I didn’t have the madman’s parents phone numbers’ to call, or maybe scream at them. It was the exact same thing as the day before! Except…maybe…
I strained my ear.
It sounded a lot closer.
My hands, for some reason, became clammy instantly, and the urgent thumping of my own heart - the fragility of my own life - became all the more prominent.
I tiptoed to my window and peeked outside. Nothing.
I then slowly treaded to my spare bedroom, and pulled the curtains apart. Zilch. Nada. Though…
Almost as if under a spell, my head turned towards my main door. I…I could somehow feel it. Just to confirm though, I peeked out of the door-hole.
And with a slam, I collapsed in my new, dream home.
~
When I came to, I was lying on white sheets, and a bright white light hung over me.
A hospital.
I was in my own room, which I found odd. It was not like I needed it. But then a doctor walked in, followed by 3 other people, and it all made sense. Everything - blurs and sureness - melted into a perfect picture.
Sally, Jack, and their son.
He couldn’t be more than 17 really. Though he looked 37 a few hours ago. Face pressed against the glass of my peephole, mouth wide open towards it, eyes pointing in different directions as his face reddened and contorted.
I was deaf in one moment. Then came the COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO.
Of course I fainted. Who could blame me?
“Good afternoon, I’m Dr Lam. You’re in A&E right now. Are you able to tell me your full name and date of birth?
My voice answered the Doctor’s questions, but my eyes stared dazed at the youngster’s abdomen, not daring to reach his its eyes.
“Well, nothing seems to be wrong with you. You may have just been dehydrated. Did you have any headache or pain before you fainted?”
I replied in the negative.
“Luckily, your friends’ son had found you passed out, and ensured your speedy arrival to hospital, so I wouldn’t be worried about any damage.”
My eyes finally strayed, looking towards the ground. I held the nauseousness of bile down my throat. Following a brief check-up, I was allowed to leave.
And 2 people and a demon followed me out.
“Well, Leen, that should give you a lesson,”
Sally.
I turned towards the family, who stood in a 3 person arc. Only 1 managed to look away, equal parts shame and guilt. I don’t need to mention who that was.
“Don’t worry. You can look at me, I don’t bite: not now and not at dawn,” a strained voice whispered at me. “I promise, it’s only at dawn when I…when I…”
“Hush Dean, don’t work your voice that much. You’ll need to save it for later.”
I was still dizzy. That didn’t stop me from running half-hobbled to the taxi stand, where I begged and claimed to many that I would provide double payment if they were to take me to my house.
It took a while, but I managed to pack some of my clothes. There was no way in hell I was sleeping at that damned house again, not now, not ever. I called and booked at a nearby hotel in the meantime.
I was done packing necessities by the evening. Walking out of my house, I saw no sign of those three. I would have been relieved, had I not come face to face with than one thing: standing in my garden, leaning against my car. My breathing picked up instantly.
Dean
It stood with its back resting against my car. And It noticed me immediately. Seems like it was just waiting for me to notice it.
“Are you leaving?” It sounded almost sad, but I needed it to move away, or my only way out of there would be in jeopardy.
“For the night.” My answer? Almost smooth, but even I could hear the first shake in my voice.
It nodded though. “Okay.” And he moved from my car. I counted the distance. 1 metre. 2. 2.5-
It made a sudden dash at me as I - in flight response - ran frantically to the driver’s seat, locking the door. I came in half-squashed, my backpack still on my back. But I didn’t care.
Its face was pressed against the window.
“Mum is waiting for a person that will like me for me, not run away. You’re supposed to like me.” It said, matter-of-factly. It then wailed, and sunk beneath the car window.
I did not dare to sit up and see what it was doing.
I didn’t even need to though. The sound came a split-second later.
COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO
Tears spilled from my eyes. My limbs felt weak. I couldn’t even breathe. It suddenly sprang up to the window. Eyes enlarged: looking at me and everywhere at once.
“I can actually tur-COCK- in the day too, but M-DOODLE- said it would be too much for you,” wheezing, it exclaimed again before adding, “but this is ME. Do you-do you, do you like me?”
With dead limbs I weighed my foot on the pedal, and jump-started the car to speed off. My head shook left-and-right in response, stomach heaving with nausea.
Human preservation kicked me into taking proper control of the car when I saw, out of the rear view mirror, Sally. This time with a rope, which locked around the creature’s neck before she tugged, drawing it into her house. At one point we locked eyes. And what do I mean by we?
Answer: the 2 of them and me.
It was honestly a miracle that I did not get into a road traffic accident.
I spent 3 days living in the hotel after that, my job long-forgotten in the aftermath.
By day 4 I broke down and called my older sister, asking to stay at her place for a while. Her house and area seemed fine the times I’d stopped over. I guess I clearly did not seem right though, as she many-a-time asked me what was wrong. My answer? Stress. She persisted, years of living together as kids helping her figure out my lies, though she ultimately gave up after a week. She knew it was something I didn’t want to share, and that I was safe now. That was enough for her.
For me? I guess at the time I so badly wanted to tell someone. Though it couldn’t be my sister. I didn’t want to cause any trouble. Nor see if she’d even believe me, or instead rank me at the same IQ level as her two 5-year-olds.
For a few weeks, I stayed with my sister and her family, reassuring both her and myself that I was fine. Thankfully, we worked together to find a small apartment. Next to a kids school too - bonus points. I now craved safety above all else. After moving out though, I realised I needed my belongings back.
So, who picked up my stuff from that cursed residence, you ask? The moving people. I called the police from a random phone booth first to head over to that area, emphasising on seeing some suspicious looking men, whilst I got them to collect everything. I did not dare to call the police on that family though. I would prefer if the link between me and them got cut, drawn and quartered.
So now I’m here, in an apartment which thankfully hasn’t shown any sign of insanity. Inspecting my belongings, I noticed that there was one thing missing.
My gold frame, used to encase my make-shift certificate - made by yours truly after her 21-day record from the previous apartment - was gone.
I felt somewhat miffed, but then I realised something.
Something which can maybe bring the light out in this whole situation.
I counted carefully. I broke my record.
With a grand stay of 2 days. Now that - that I don’t think I’d ever be able to beat.

Can anyone give any advise for buying a car out of state and then bringing it back to Maine? I know that we will have to pay Maine sales tax and do all the registration. I’m thinking of buying something in Florida and driving it back.

2024.05.19 11:03 moose_35_3500 FFIE - Making Cars ---Big Revenue Coming

Hello FFIE People!!!!
I am all in on this stock...Did not sell on Friday. Actually bought more.
Own 35k shares...So I have real Interest on where we go from here. Monday is going to be nuts!
Below are my questions. Would like help from people who are doing homework on the company?
This is a High End EV Company started in 2014 and the Cars look amazing but, where are they going. It will be so much easier to evaluate the stock price knowing more info?
- There is no real financial info available in the past year. Scarry. They finally announced an earnings release/call for 2023. on May 28th at 5PM. Up until this its been super secret/dark on where they are going.
- They have only sold 10 cars to date (these are for the top executives or big investors). Pre-sales numbers are not shown anywhere...Any Idea of what they are? or how many cars are in production this year? And how much does a car cost? 200k? its gotta be big?
- How much money have they raised? I see 1-3 billion in articles posted....no clue how accurate?
- So whats their actual debt? 2022 balance sheet lists 68 million.
- How much cash do they have? 2022 cash flow lists -506 million
I could go on and on with these questions but, I am going to end here. The point is they just announced earnings release on 5/28. They are finally making cars and will be releasing projected revenue. So for 10 years they have made nothing......and now they are producing cars...possibly selling to Dubai/China super wealthy....the stock went from 4k a share years ago to .04 cents and now we have the potential squeeze going...Might be really easy after the release to show they are finally generating revenue and could easily justify $5 per share.... maybe 10, 20, 50 ------100...who knows...but its not $1.00 a share ....timing is everything!!! 1000 cars at 200k a car = 200 million in revenue
TELL me your thoughts

2024.05.19 10:38 StupidgirlBN1996 Got what I deserved and I feel so alone

I’ve actually never posted on here before but there’s no one in my life I can talk to.
I 35f am married for 14 years. My husband, 36m, has abused me for most of them. I’ve tried to leave but I have no resources. He won’t let me get a job. I don’t have my own car. I don’t have anyone in my life who supports me leaving. My family are all insanely strict Jehovah’s Witness and don’t support divorce unless he cheats, which he hasnt.
Well, about a year ago I reconnected with a lost love from high school. He had never married. He was the perfect gentleman, always had been. Whenever my husband would travel for work (he’s a traveling salesman), we would meet up and we started a relationship. He only lived about 2 hours away so it was easy, and he worshipped the ground I walked on. He reminded me what it felt like to be loved and treasured and honestly brought a joy to my life that I never thought I’d have again. Looking forward to our romantic getaways each month kept me going.
But he ended things last week. And I don’t blame him. He wants kids, and I’m infertile due an accident I had in my 20s. He is not ready to give up on his dreams of being a dad, or of having a real relationship.
I don’t really need advice I just wanted someone to talk to. Honestly this hurts much more than my husband has ever hurt me. God I feel so stupid. That’s what I get for cheating.

2024.05.19 10:34 Ok_Presentation_1053 I need advice

I got into an accident today and it was my fault. I rear ended someone at a red light. It was a very light tap to the back of their car but I still hit them. There was no damage to either of our cars. I followed car to a parking lot and parked beside a little farther from them because there was no space close to them. Some people got out of the car and went into the store. I got nervous and did one more loop around the parking lot to see if there was a better spot for me to park. By the time I came back, the driver of the car I hit was already gone. I’m not sure if this would count as a hit and run since I did come back. I don’t want to get charged for that, especially since I was there. I also don’t know if that can even be reported since there was no damages to either of our vehicles. I live in MD so that person can file an insurance claim whenever they want or a hit and run claim if they have a dash cam. This was around 16 hours ago and I’m freaking tf out because of this.
More context (not necessary):
I’m only 90% sure I hit the car. I was at a red light and my phone fell on the floor. I had to reach over to get it and I guess I wasn’t pressing the break hard enough so my car was rolling forward. I heard my car beeping letting me know I was getting to close to something so I slammed by breaks. But I was so close to the car that I’m 90% sure I hit it or was 1mm away from hitting it. I also felt a small jerk from car and I don’t know if it was because of my auto lock breaks since I slammed it of because I tapped the car in front of me. As I was driving behind it I looked at the back of their car and couldn’t see any damages. There was no damages on my car either.

2024.05.19 10:31 ItsAJayDay The Last Stop in Yuma County

The Last Stop in Yuma County
I'll drop mine right here as I have seen no discussion on it outside of a variety article I read a few weeks ago.
Has anyone seen this absolute gem ? It's the diner scene from Pulp Fiction turned up to 11, the tension created through a simple scenario begins to rise to its boiling point as patrons turn up to the desolate road side gas station, the last stop on a country back road surrounded by the vastness outback like conditions of Yuma County. The time period is never mentioned, but we can correctly assume its the early to mid 1970's based on the environment, cars and phones.
I won't give away anything of the story or its characters, I can only recommend you find an hour and 30 minutes to take it all in. Richard Brake and Nicholas Logan are incredibly believable antagonists, the well executed contrast between their characters personalities make for this almost fun, uneasy road trip type relationship between the two, though the trust between the two can be easily observed.
Donahue and Cummings, our protagonists, atypical types just working their jobs, but are ultimately thrust into a deadly situation, is nothing new, how they handle the next few hours, is, however. From the knife sales pitch, the coffee cups, the natural way in which they describe their lives and occupations, you would think you had found a Tarantino movie you'd just never got the memo on.
The supporting cast are equally as entertaining and as natural as you'd like, with a wild card couple thrown into the mix for good measure, the chaos that ensues once a particular fact becomes known, is like releasing the pressure on a bottle cap, and delivers for you what I believe would have happened in the diner scene at the end of Pulp Fiction, total madness.
I cannot recommend this film enough and I hope the lads give it 10 minutes of thought someday.

2024.05.19 10:16 Minute_Strawberry934 Accidentally FaceTimed my ex

Accidentally FaceTimed my ex I was leaning out of the car to tap my phone to pay so I could get out of the car park, put my phone back in my lap wait for the gate to open then i look down and its literally FaceTiming her I don’t know how it even happened I don’t have her number saved anymore (her number is in my FaceTime history though), I messaged her to tell her it was genuinely an accident because it was and I got no response so now she probably thinks I’m desperate or trying to use that as an excuse to talk to her and I wouldn’t even blame her for thinking I’m lying as it’s happened twice now since we broke up and both times were genuine freak accidents, but it’s the honest truth, just really bad luck I suppose, I have no desire to be with her again as no contact has helped me a lot to get over her, it’s just annoying that she probably thinks I’m still not over her.

2024.05.19 09:59 Beneficial-Guava6437 Training advice?

Hiya
I have a 10month chi, she's very friendly and sweet temperament wise. I also have two kids and a push over partner, he's definitely more of the dog person but no boundaries 😮‍💨
I have a few issues I'd appreciate some advice/input on how to train her, as yesterday she escaped the house and ran in front of a car. She is SO lucky it didn't hit her. I spent 15 minutes trying to find her, and that's only because she found a dog walker who grabbed her 😮‍💨
• Doesn't eat unless it's chicken. She will starve herself for days, and then only eat chicken. Vets given advice about no longer changing her pet food in attempts to find ones she likes Previously within a week, if she even ate it, she will reject again and honestly she didn't eat much to begin with. So now it gets put out, if she doesn't eat it within 5 minutes, it's taken away. Then she waits until dinner. It's sort of solved the problem, she's at least eating half of a meal a day.
• Pees everywhere. I've had to throw out a large family rug. She's destroyed my wooden floor. Doesn't like to use puppy mats. She will go outside in the morning now, but that's only recent Banned from unsupervised upstairs as she will pee and poop everywhere. She's also pooped on the kids and my beds before; I've warned my eldest (he adores her) that he can clean it up if she does it on his again, since he wants her on his bed. It's either the kitchen wood floor (which is now all black/dark brown under the table, I wish she would use puppy mats) or living room rug.
• No call back or commands. She just about knows SIT when it suits her. She does know her name. She knows no but doesn't always listen to it, again, unless it suits her. She also knows when she's been naughty as she legs it from me to her bed 🙄 I really need this sorted, she is so fast and regularly escapes. She has a collar with name and number and address etc; but I can't run after her and she will eventually get eaten by another dog (lots of big dogs around here, I've had to lift her before! They must think she's a bunny!) or worse, if this continues.
• Eats everything on the carpet. When she does have a scrap of food, she takes it into the living room onto the carpet. At best she eats on the floor next to her bowl. I've found if i put her food outside, she eats out the bowl itself. But honestly I cannot keep cleaning my carpet of dog food as she smears it in 😭 I'm looking at another stair gate to sadly confine her to the kitchen, now.
• Jumping and biting. I get she's a puppy. But she jumps and bites my kids faces. I'm pregnant ATM and will be due soon, I don't want her accidently hurting the newborn. I don't want to end up having to get rid of her, I want to train it out of her. She doesn't always bite soft, too, she's drawn blood with myself and my youngest child. Unfortunately 🙄 my eldest and partner (and guests, sigh) find it endearing and tell me "she's just playing", and I'm trying to explain if she mauls a neighbour's kids face by accident or their child or my baby, they will soon change their tune! I had a friend in school, who's nose literally has this massive scar where her dog as a puppy, got carried away. The dog was re-homed and she has a permanent fear of dogs.
• Licking - this is just me. I hate licky dogs. We have had several dogs when I was a kid and none like this. She gets carried away and has stuck her tongue up the nose of the lot of them; she doesn't get that chance with me as I put my hand on her head but she still tries.. Kids adore it. Partner adores it 🙄 Anyway to stop her doing it? At least for me 😮‍💨
• When on a lead, there is absolutely no listening skills. She does what she wants. You can say "heel" and stop all you want, she will strangle herself silly.
• Jumping on sofa and stealing pillows, humping pillows, using sofa to launch herself onto living room table to steal food. Also uses sofa to launch into (already set up) baby cot - this certainly has to stop! I put it out already to train her "no" like I used to do with our cat. Our cats old now so he is already trained up in forbidden places etc.
😮‍💨 I've never had this issue with any dogs we had since I was a child/friends puppies. I appreciate I don't have as much time to dedicate, and will be going on maternity leave so I want to be dealing with as much of it as I can before/when baby is here.
Sorry it's so long 😮‍💨 I am just tired and it doesn't help my partner and eldest, she goes straight to them when she's naughty/not getting her way, and then I have to tell them off, too. I'm not daft, I know it's because they give in 🙄
Thank you 🙏

2024.05.19 09:51 moose_35_3500 FFIE Company INFO - Real Value --HELP???

Hello FFIE People!!!!
I am all in on this stock...Did not sell on Friday. Actually bought more.
Own 35k shares...So I have real Interest on where we go from here. Monday is going to be nuts!
Below are my questions. Would like help from people who are doing homework on the company?
This is a High End EV Company started in 2014 and the Cars look amazing but, where are they going. It will be so much easier to evaluate the stock price knowing more info?
- There is no real financial info available in the past year. Scarry. They finally announced an earnings release/call for 2023. on May 28th at 5PM. Up until this its been super secret/dark on where they are going.
- They have only sold 10 cars to date (these are for the top executives or big investors). Pre-sales numbers are not shown anywhere...Any Idea of what they are? or how many cars are in production this year? And how much does a car cost? 200k? its gotta be big?
- How much money have they raised? I see 1-3 billion in articles posted....no clue how accurate?
- So whats their actual debt? 2022 balance sheet lists 68 million.
- How much cash do they have? 2022 cash flow lists -506 million
I could go on and on with these questions but, I am going to end here. The point is they just announced earnings release on 5/28. They are finally making cars and will be releasing projected revenue. So for 10 years they have made nothing......and now they are producing cars...possibly selling to Dubai/China super wealthy....the stock went from 4k a share years ago to .04 cents and now we have the potential squeeze going...Might be really easy after the release to show they are finally generating revenue and could easily justify $5 per share.... maybe 10, 20, 50 ------100...who knows...but its not $1.00 a share ....timing is everything!!! 1000 cars at 200k a car = 200 million in revenue
TELL me your thoughts

2024.05.19 09:50 Das_sus92 Looking to get out of car sales

I have been in car sales for about a decade. I just do not like it anymore. It is not exciting anymore. The hours are getting old. The customers are getting worse. The only thing that is good is the pay. What areas are pretty good to transition into. The issue I have been having is there is a pay cut if I leave.

2024.05.19 09:42 ICANTJUMPFORMYLIFE Always trust your gut feeling

Before I go any further with this I know I have done some pretty stupid things over the years and I never really believed in the paranormal until this incident happened.
So about when me and my best friend were in highschool (year 11 to be exact) I was staying over at her place for the weekend after I had finished my work shift, it was around this time my best friend had an art project that was due soonish and she didn't have any inspiration to help her create something original. Then she came up with the idea to do a freaky photo shoot to see if that would help inspire her to create something ( and I ended up being her muse you could say) and mind you she is very much into special effects and stuff as she is a make-up artist in the making. So by the time she was finished with the make up you could say I looked like a decaying and walking corpse.
We decided to take some photos out in her backyard and then go analysis the pictures some got her attention and some didn't, so then I cleaned myself up and then we tried again, but this time an elf like character. That's when I got the "brilliant"(not so brilliant ) idea that maybe we should got to the nearby lake since there was some awesome places there that would be perfect. Mind you it was already 11:30pm at night.
The first mistake we made was actually going through with that idea at 11:30pm at night which well it was pretty stupid to begin with since will all the bad things happening around our local area ( missing people/ animals, murders etc), that alone should have been a clear indication that we shouldn't be going.
That wasn't a thought to us in the slightest,
So when my best friend drives us there and parks in the big empty car park( which was another clear indicator that we really shouldn't be there), we just sat in her car for a good minutes just discussing how the photos should be taken.....then that's when I got a chill down my spine and the sensation that we were being watched from somewhere. That feeling never left and to this day I can't believe my stupid self had just blantanly ignored that altogether. I wasn't the only one ,my best friend also got the exact same feeling I did and then we proceeded to get out of her car and start taking photos like we discussed. She has fake realistic swords and other weapons so we were using those as props and Everything was going perfectly fine (besides feeling like we were being watched).
What happened next still makes my heart stop, because the place we were at had hiking and biking trails as well as being surrounded by a woodland area. What we heard whilst in the middle of taking some more photos was the sound between a strangled and drying animal mix with a high pitch human scream and when I tell it sounded way too close comfort, I mean it sounded to close for comfort. That sound lasted for a good solid minute (just one singular sound with no breath in-between it) then it stopped and went erriely quiet. Way too quiet.
Now looking back on it, there was no sound of insects making any noise when we got out of the car and there was very certainly none after that sound. Which only means that there was a predator or something of the sorts nearby. I thought I was just hearing things or thought it possibly was just a native animal of sorts.
At this point me and best friend were starting to freak out a little bit, because then we heard the sound of sticks on ground snapping in half to the right of us near one of the hiking trails (which wasn't too far from where we were not that long ago) We tried to not panic and finish the last of the photos.(That was dumb idiotic idea know, but at this point we have made a few.)
I think I was zoning out and focusing on what she wanted me to ( for example,like hold the sword in a swinging position like you were about to slay down beast) I sensed that my best friend had stopped giving instructions and looked to her to see that she was standing and looking terrified to say the least
(This was our conversation in that moment)
Me:"uh... You good??"
My best friend:" slowly come over to me, but whatever you do. Don't .look , behind you."
When she said those words I instinctively and very stupidly looked behind me. To see that standing about a good 10 metres or so from me was a tall stocky but lean black figure that wasn't quite human nor animal from the looks of it ,but at first I thought I was a kangaroo ( yes I forgot to mention we live in Australia) with the way it was carrying itself. A very big kangaroo in this instance.
I then wished that I hadn't looked and now looked back at my best friend and now realised we needed to leave immediately. Because whatever the hell that thing behind me was, definitely wasn't friendly at all.
But we couldn't just bolt off back to the car as that would definitely cause the thing to chase down and it definitely would catch up with no trouble at all, so we had to as calmly as possible,pick up our belongings and slowly go back to the car. But since I didn't know what hell we were dealing with I didn't want to keep my back it as that would have very very stupid and I wanted to make sure it was still there. Thankfully it was but as soon as we got to her car and quickly got in(making sure the doors were locked), I look out the windshield and saw that it was no longer there.
We quickly high tailed it out of there and once back on the road, I then looked in the side mirror on my side of her car and saw the figure standing motionless in the middle of road watching us leave. That we when me and my best friend finally could process what just happened.
Then just before we got to the main road again, there was an actual kangaroo standing in the middle of the road which freaked us out more( but we didn't have a car accident from it) and went the car horn was beeped the kangaroo went on its way and so did we.
Once her place we quickly got inside and locked the doors, shut any open windows and locked as well as closed the curtains.The rest of the night and early morning we could hear scratching and tapping on the windows which we ignored and decided to go to bed.
Needlessly to say always trust your gut feeling or you may not live long enough to tell the tail.

2024.05.19 09:32 RedditAwesome2 ACL reconstruction (+MCL/LAT Meniscus injury)- Do NOT Skip Pre-hab. No pain, no brace, one crutch DAY 1 Post-Op. WTF.

I just wanted to share my experience here and as I had never seen something like this and I actually had an OVERWHEMINGLY positive experience with this surgery. I realise there is luck + age(29) involved but pre-hab really paid off.
There will be a tl;dr + my final PREHAB exercises.
On march 3rd I tore my MCL (2nd degree) + ACL (full tear) + Lateral meniscus (2nd degree leision) from my MRI. I couldn’t bear any weight and upon ER visit I was given a brace.
First 30 days I wore the brace (because of the torn MCL which requires it to heal on its own) and could only put a very minimal amount of weight on my injured leg. Did that, then started PT on day 30.
Day 30 after injury - had no muscle on my leg, couldn’t bend my knee at all. Had my first PT session where they removed my brace. I started PT 3 times a week at a sports centre where they also worked with the best surgeons in my city. PT was kind of painful and started out slow but it was getting better each day. On week 2 of PT I started doing all the exercises at home on rest days, so basically I did PT 7 times per week.
Day 60 after injury - was supposed to have my surgery here but my Physio suggested to my surgeon to delay. I still went for a check up where my surgeon said he could have done the surgery that week and it was good enough but I/We declined and opted in to wait another 2 weeks of PT. At this point in time my leg was still a bit stiff but after warming up I could bend it properly. My extension was also pretty good / flat but couldn’t match my hyperextension.
Day 60 - 74 after injury - I kept going hard at PT for the last two weeks before surgery, sometimes I did PT at home twice, even went for stationary bike at the gym. At this point for the extra added two weeks, my leg actually started feeling like my own leg again. The progress, as suggested by my PT, was INSANE. Day and night difference. Some days still felt a bit stiff but I was able to lower the bicycle seat a lot, gained a bunch of muscle back, swelling in the mornings was VERY minimal. I could sleep on my side etc. I felt like a normal person again. Sure I could only walk slowly but I didn’t have ANY limp anymore, so much that car drivers would get annoyed at me at crossroads for walking slowly.
Day 75 after injury - SURGERY DAY. I went in pretty nervous but I talked to my PT who as I mentioned also worked at the clinic and was there right before my surgery. He gave me encouraging words but I was still in panic mode. My turn for surgery came, went in, had the ?partial anasthesia where you stop feeling your legs which felt super weird to me. I was still pretty nervous and kind of shivering so they asked if I wanted full anasthesia or just some sort of drugs added to my systems to relax. I said I wanted the funny thing (LOL) and sure enough, the nurse puts in the funny thing and within what felt like 30 seconds, I started laughing in my head and hearing my own voice saying funny shit like “lol finally getting surgery this shits cool haha”. It felt super weird as my anxiety disappeared within seconds. That’s when the surgeon popped in my view and told me the good news - my meniscus had healed properly (as well as the MCL) since I wore the brace for 30 days after injury and did prehab. The guys at my prehab place did tell me most times with the brace and prehab the meniscus can fix itself but I didn’t think that would be my case. So when surgeon told me I did a big thumbsup, laughed a bit and said some dumb shit like “awesome” lol. My entire 2 hour ACL surgery felt like 5 minutes after they had put in the “relax” drug. I loved it, I barely remember any of it other than seeing my leg being thrown around a bit. DEFINITELY ASK FOR THE FUNNY DRUG IT MADE ME SO CALM AND HAPPY (I never do any other drugs, rarely drink etc but this felt like getting verrrryyy tipsy right before going black out drunk usually lol). Surgery’s done, it’s a success, they send me back to my room. This place also uses drainage for 48hr so you stay in the clinic. I kept waiting for the pain to arrive but I was so buzzed up with the funny things and kept telling each nurse how good the stuff they put in me was LOL. I probably still looked worried as they kept making jokes about me being very worried and how they’d take care. They kept asking me if I had any pain and that’s when I used my REDDIT KNOWLEDGE and told them my pain was 1/10 but I heard you wanna take meds preemptively as if you feel any pain - meds not gonna work. Some time passed and they gave me the hardcore painkillers in my veins. They had some “program” where they give you stuff each 4 hours. I felt NO PAIN AT ALL. My accident felt WORSE than laying in the hospital bed post op. I kept waiting for the pain to arrive but it never did.
ONE DAY POST OP - I was playing on my switch when at about 9 AM my PT storms into the room and starts telling me to quit playing lmao. He asked me if I could do a leg raise, and sure enough I could. I knew I could because while laying down I kind of kept checking my mind muscle connection and even after surgery I could still feel my muscles. He tells me to do 25 and he’ll be back later. Mind you, 25 leg raises with a drainage and a heavy-ish brace, under painkillers that were given me an hour earlier as part of the 1 per 4 hour things. But I was able to do them.
Fast forward one hour and my PT is back. He’s telling me that we’re gonna start walking. I’m happy and get up. Immedietely a bit lightheaded so I took some water and was standing up on two crutches. They had previously shown me how to use crutches at PT, so I tried to walk as fast and normal looking as possible. To my shock, 3 steps in, my PT literally laughed and KICKED THE BACK OF MY OPERATED LEG and said “go faster nothing to worry about, I don’t gave much time here lol”. The kick kinda hurt but it made me more confident walking. I did about 10-15 steps on two crutches, he told me to not lean on them but just use for balance. Did some more steps and he literally grabbed one of my crutches and ran away laughing. Told me that I only need one and sure enough - I could walk with one crutch (and the basic support brace). He then taught me how to go up and down stairs and gave me 6 exercises to do in my hospital bed. I did them and that was it. He said “no limit on walking and bear as much weight as you can”. I literally couldn’t believe it. Day ONE post op, one crutch. I had NEVER even read a story like that on this sub. Felt crazy good to know that doing the 6 weeks PT with him saved me so much trouble. As a side note, the other patients in my room, some of which with the same doctor felt TRAMENDOUS amount of pain, couldn’t sleep, kept hearing them do little screams from the pain etc. etc. etc. I was the only one who did extreme PT before surgery from my room.
Day 2 post op - had drainage AND BRACE removed and was told to only rest up to not have any more swelling (drainage is used to remove swelling basically). So I laid around in the hospital bed, got up to the toilet a few times and could only walk with one crutch no brace and that was day 2.
Day 3 post op - I went home, managed to fit in car front seat, did the exercises I was told to do and could sort of walk one crutch only to get around even tho it was not easy and felt a bit sus.
——
My FINAL PRE-OP list of PT EXERCISES in the correct order: 1. 12-15 minutes of stationary bike on the lowest possible seat where I felt no pain or light in my knee. 2. 3x15 or climbing up a stair, as high as I could. You put your injured leg on the stair, you climb up with your other leg and then put the other leg back on the ground. At this time I could do a pretty good height on this exercise and do slow negatives. The height was about 3 standart staircase steps or 3x a regular stepper. 3. 3x20 slowly walking down a stair, from as high as possible. Walking down was harder for me, so my maximum was about 2 steps high (66% of climbing). You step on the top step and use your healthy leg to touch the ground and then “jump” back up on your injured leg which never leaves the higher step. 4. 4x20 Squatting on a very low bench. Basically slowly sitting down to something as low as you can while making sure to bend your knees equally. I could do this at two steps heigh where my knees would bend quite a bit more than 90 degrees. Still felt a bit of pain here 5. Walk around for 30-60 sec instead of rest between all of these. If I had energy left, I would add in a few mins at the bike at a lower seat.
That’s it, do all of them as slowly as possible. I did these sometimes twice a day if I had the willpower and my knee felt good. Also used ice after doing them sometimes and made sure to have mind muscle connection and use my injured leg as much as possible. ——-
Tldr; DO PRE-HAB. Managed to walk one crutch only DAY ONE after ACL reconstruction with a temporary brace that was removed day two and went out of the hospital on just one crutch. Only minor pain after surgery 2/10. A bit painful to walk around and bear weight but that’s as expected. Do your prehab because others in my room couldn’t walk at all and were in agonizing pain for 3 days after surgery.
Thanks for reading, I hope this post is helpful for fellow sports lovers. I am 29 years old / 6’1 / 180 lbs, did mostly bodybuilding at the gym and bicycle.

2024.05.19 09:04 acrylite_guardian Crazy Driver (Scotland) Worth It?

Alright folks, Had myself a wee situation on the road the other day. Now, I'm a tolerant soul, I put up with the usual dafties and I've never reported anything or even considered it until now.
Thankfully, nobody got hurt, but I was going along and this guy cuts up the inside into a bus lane. I was on cruise control at 30 and he has no space to get back in and just swings into my lane. No indicator and his car was more or less parallel to mine. I need to slam on the breaks with my 8 week old son in the back. Then he proceeds to go through a red light at the next junction.
It was city centre to I saw him at the junction after. I put my window down and told him I had a baby in the back. His response was to accuse me of being the one at fault for not slowing down to let him in.
Usually I would ignore this but in this case I feel like this person is inevitably going to cause a serious accident. My wife is beside herself and I don't know what to do.
Question is, is it worth reporting him?
Any wisdom from you lovely legal types out there, particularly if you've had to deal with such numpties yourselves?

2024.05.19 09:04 Popular_Dig_8651 Renting vs buying an apartment (Melbourne)

So I know this is endlessly discussed, but everyone’s situation and considerations are different, so I would really appreciate some thoughts on this - as in, would you buy or rent in this situation, and what would be the key reasons for your decision?
If you were in this situation, would you buy or keep renting? It doesn’t strike me as “an investment”, in the narrow sense, unless capital growth suddenly increases, but not sure if I’m missing something. Thanks so much :-)

2024.05.19 08:59 nomorelandfills San Diego Humane Society, Frosted Faces Foundation and Lexie the Biter

San Diego Humane Society, Frosted Faces Foundation and Lexie the Biter
Lexie is a small, old dog but Lexie was a highly aggressive small, old dog when she entered the shelterescue pipeline in 2018. The shelter flipped her to a rescue, and the rescue spent 2 years letting her bite and attack people before finding a final adopter who tolerated the attacks long enough for (my opinion) Lexie's deteriorating mental state to reach a point that she lost the ability to carry through on her resource guarding/defensive aggression. I've seen that happen with aggressive dogs before, and it's a mercy for the owner and the dog - which is an incredibly sad reflection on the misery that is aggression, that mental deterioration can make life better.
December 2018 photo from original owner
December 21, 2018 - a dog owner contacts Frosted Faces Foundation about surrendering their 13yo small dog, Lexie, who has bitten them recently. FFF, like many rescues, doesn't work with owners and prefers to do shelter pulls which are exciting and visible (and dowry-included) more urgent, declines to assist the owner.
December 31, 2018 - San Diego Humane Society in Escondido contacts FFF asking them to take what turns out to be the same dog - 13yo Maltese, recently bit owner,
January 3, 2019 - FFF sends a volunteer and minor child to pick up and transport Lexie to a foster. The child holds Lexie on her lap on the drive from the shelter.
November 2019 - FFF posts on FB that Lexie has been adopted and returned 4 times. Each return has been within 48 hours. They blame the adopters, saying "We are always very up front that this girl bites, and she bites hard. Her fosters are patient and forgiving people who have given Lexie the transition time she required to trust them, and even still, they are careful." They also say that "Lexie is food aggressive so she eats in her crate, and does not get bones ever" and also that "she even goes to off leash dog parks." That'll be fun when someone drops a cookie in front of her.
Their new perspective on Lexie is that
Lexie is pretty much fine with anyone that comes over to the house, everyone can pick her up as long as they let her smell them first and she doesn’t “smile” which means she doesn’t want to be bothered. She is the best with me and David, we can pretty much pick her up anytime and haven’t gotten bitten in a few months.Lexie has some trust issues for sure. She hates being pet when she’s asleep, doesn’t like getting her face washed in the bath, and wants you to check with her before you pick her up. As long as you avoid those, she’s honestly such a sweet pup and once you gain her trust you have it forever!
Surprise, she's on the behavior med train.
Lexie is on fluoxetine for behavioral reasons, and we have tried trazadone, clomicalm, and CBD oil. Recently Lexie has had a vestibular episode and has had a couple seizures this year, so we do believe there may be a connection between her health and behavior.
1 - interesting they aren't blaming themselves for her aggression, like they blamed her owner.
2 - Old dog vestibular and seizure activity are not linked to aggression involving resource guarding. btdt with both physical issues in an old dog, frankly a lot annoyed at these ailments being used as a cover for a violent dog.
October 2020 - Lexie is adopted for the final time. She remains with these owners.
Lexie in final home - clearly adored

Lexie is celebrating her FIFTH Frostiversary!Lexie found herself at the San Diego Humane Society after an unfortunate accident that led to her biting her owner. She was 13 years old and was understandably scared and untrusting. We made her a Frosted Face, and for nearly two years, she divided her time between foster families, several adoptive families that didn't understand her needs, and onsite at our rescue, waiting for a family who would give her the time and space to learn to trust again. In October of 2020, \*** promised to love Lexie forever, and today, they are happy to be celebrating her fifth anniversary as a Frosted Face!"Lexie is a happy puppy. She loves walking in circles; my family calls it her "mall walk" since she does it for hours with no goal and it makes her happy. She smiles a lot and spends all of her time either sleeping on top of Peanut (her bichon sister), walking, staring at random objects, or looking for someone to feed her. Her vision is very impaired so she stood in front of a house plant once for a real long while thinking it was a person that would give her treats.She used to be Lexie the Biter but she'd never bite anyone now.* When I first adopted her, she'd bite my face and I'd have cuts all over my hands and arms and had to leave her leash on her indefinitely because she wouldn't let me near her face. But now, she loves being held, cuddled, she's so sweet that it's unbelievable. She's loving and patient and will lick your nose if she thinks you're close."
Essentially, I think whatever was going on with this dog neurologically in 2019 with the seizures has likely increased - hence the 'mall walking' and other odd behaviors. And likely the reduction in aggression. Some aggressive dogs who survive their own violence long enough to grow old will develop forms of doggy dementia that reduce their aggression.
Note - the current owners obviously dote on this dog and of course they do, she's adorable and we're hard-wired to bond with dogs. This isn't an attack on Lexie, this is pointing out that the rescue placed multiple people, including children, in harm's way through a series of highly unethical actions - disregarding info from the previous owner, choosing to interpret a bite as unimportant, ignoring the dog's behavior, blaming anyone who refuses to live with a dog which will bite them, considering it a win to have gotten people attacked and bitten for 2 years while forcing a nervous and unstable little dog to live in a variety of homes. That it worked out is not an excuse or a justification for their reckless behavior. People drink and drive and make it home without an accident every day. That's not an excuse or justification for drinking and driving.

2024.05.19 08:49 NotJelloz Questions: How do I buy my first car?

Hi guys!
I am 19 years old and trying to buy my first car, hopefully an used one off fb marketplace. Here is what I read online what to do:
  1. Search for cars like toyotas and hondas that have clean titles and are fairly priced around 5-7k. Ask the seller if they have the title and if they are okay with getting the car inspected.
  2. Meet the driver at a public place and test the car. Main things to look out for are engine sounds, dents and scratches, and anything out of the ordinary. I will be going with my mom
  3. Inspect the car and review the title, making sure the name matches the person and the car's VIN number. Sign the title?
Here are my questions:
1) How does the sale get documented? Is it by the title or another form of documentation? Is there anything else I'm missing from the process I listed?
2) I am a resident of NY, meaning I have a NY license. However, if I buy the car from out of state since my mom works out of state, how does the registration process work for that? Do I register it in NY? Is there anything extra that I have to do to transfer the OOS car to be a NG car?
3) Am I allowed to drive the vehicle even though it is not yet registered under my name? (This is after I get it insured) This is important to me because if I need to register it in NY, I have to drive it back to NY.
Thank you so much for any help! Any advice will be well appreciated!

2024.05.19 08:46 EggClare69 My friends fiance left her last night with a two year old, currently staying at my house

My friend (26 f) and her fiance (47-50? Not sure M) have been having a lot of relationship issues. She never really sees her friends and it feels a lot like he doesnt want her to have friends, hes pretty useless, probably changed 3 poopy diapers in the span of 2 years and 3 months. He is quite manipulative and standoffish. But im not saying my friend does not have flaws of her own, they obviously have a lot of resentment towards eachother.
On Thursday I went to her house as I havent seen her or bub in months and we had a glass of wine, i am usually good for two glasses and able to drive but her expensive wine was too much for my body and I realised I couldnt drive home after one drink. So she offered for me to sleep over, I have been meaning to do this anyway so that I can learn her buns night routine so i can babysit for her if needed. I said okay because I had work the next morning and wasnt able to afford the 45 minute uber home and back in the morning to get my car. So in the end we decided to just finish the bottle. We were tipsy/semi drunk, i remember the whole night as I am not a light weight, where as she is very skinny and was on her way to drunk but not quite there.
We mainly played with bub (fiance wasnt home until 7pm) and throughout the night we sat downstairs and caught up and chatted. Her bub woke up screaming at about 11:30 do we went up to calm her and put her back to sleep (albiet badly as we were not sober) my friend ended up bring bub to bed with het and fiance and I was heading to bed when I realised we had accidentally switched phones. (Please know i am aware i should not have entered their room without express permission but in sullied mind i thought this is gonna take legit 10 seconds to switch our phone) mine was on her bedside table so, in order not to just randomly walk into theor room i told fiance im just coming in quickly to switch our phones, i placed hers on her charging pad on the bedside table where mine previously was. And crept back out (because bub was in bed sleeping and friend was downstairs doing something idk) then i went to bed.
Got up at 5:30 the next day and left for home and went to work. She was messaging me saying fiance was really mad and was stating I slammed into the room and threw her phone at him being really loud. I doubted myself for a second but thought no, because I remember the whole night, and even if i was black out drunk the worst i would ever do is stumble and maybe talk a little louder then i thoight i was.
I told her to apologise to fiance for me in the case i was loud by accident and for entering the room withoit explicit permission.
On Saturday i had a mutal friend of ours over to play a ages 5 and up riddle game and drink (no way we are gonna be able to do a normal mystery solving game whilst drinking lmao) and we had invited my friend too. She said she really wanted to come but didnt want to upset fiance. We said that in any relationship, why would wanting to spend a night with your friends ve something that would upset him. Its as if he is feeling like having to take care of their child alone, one time, was a huge burden for him, keep in mind she does everything for bub, usually without help.
She said she wanted to come and he responded by saying "fine if you want to leave then im leaving" got dressed and went out to the pub with his mates, leaving her by herself with the bub. So me and other friend said to just cone iver and bring bubba with her, so she did.
Important to know, she takes her ring off at night because its uncomfortable for her to sleep in, he knows this, and it has never been an issue, she had already taken her ring off to bath bub and put her to bed so when she came over she wasnt wearing it. Was a simple mistake. He became irate with her and advised over text that they were done and that she has to move in with her mum and take baby with her. She was obviously very upset but didnt want to reply whilst angry without thinking it through first and he was spam messaging her saying hes packing her stuff and bubs stuff and she has to get out.
Shes now at my house, because her mum and other friend lives over an hour away from bubs daycare. But I absolutely am so happy she and bub is here and safe with me. I would have always offered anyway regardless of distance.
But I am exhausted and she is exhausted and I dont know what to do to help. I am also not used to having a toddler around at all. I am disabled and so I have limitations for caring for a toddler for an extended period of time. She is doing everything herself but i dont want to just sit on the couch while she does everything (unpacking the random assortment of things she needed and stuffed into bags in a hurry and taking care of bub) so i am extremely run down and its been less then 24 hours.
I am not suggesting nor do I want them to leave in any aspect. I was just wondering if anyone has advise.
Fiance also cut off her card, which obviously she uses to buy things for bub and herself to live. I dont make very much money so cannot contribute unfortunately. He said extremely upsetting things like he is not going to pay for her schooling and will send a miniscule amount per month (he is very wealthy and practically convinced friend to be a stay at home mum with no form of income) I said to her that thisnis finacial abuse and if this is serious and sticks then she has a right to an amount that keeps bub in the same level of living conditions she was in whilst together. I dont really want them to get back together to be honest, everyone wants them to split. But this isnthe opposite of the way to do it. And he has money to get a fancy lawyer in the case this goes to family court, whereas she does not.
I am scared that the situation is traumatic for bub and I dont know what I can do to make things better.
This is barely scraping the surface but any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
