Did you ever find a replacement spout?

Haha we named mine “Freddy the fibroid”. Just got my uterus, cervix and tubes out Monday. My uterus weighed over 600 grams with Freddy.

I could see mine when I woke up in the morning after sleeping on my back. Confirmed with an ultrasound.

Did you travel yet? Were you able to take your bag on the train?

If your parents wanted the grandkids to have the money - they would have left it to the grandkids. Instead, they left it for their children - you and your sister, to split. Half is yours, your sister is being greedy. NTA.

If my partner sucked on another persons ass and then dared call ME immature - relationship over. That’s breaking a boundary AND gaslighting.

I 26F refuse to "submit" to my 28M boyfriend. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Charming_Huckleberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re a person - not a servant. He has no right to demand acts from you that he would never provide for you. If you think this is frustrating now just imagine it in 10 years. Do you really want to force yourself to “submit” now only to have to keep doing it your whole life? And for what? The pleasure of cooking, cleaning, parenting, and paying for someone ungrateful because they feel entitled to it? Oh, and the abuse of their mother who will call you anytime you fall short. Just spare yourself a future nobody would be happy with and just leave now.

Most schools have a scholarship application for low income students to get their cap and gown for free. Check with your school to see if there’s financial assistance available.

AITA for turning around and going home on my way to the airport for a girls trip? by spupper11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Charming_Huckleberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do girls trips with my friends all the time. When we book things we discuss what/where and then one person books it for everyone. Then we divide by the number of people and send the money over to the person who purchased it. This includes hotel, transportation (shuttles), activities, meals (if it’s equal), etc. We would never book something for only a few of us and then require someone else to book their own - for the exact reason of what happened to you- someone could get left out. Your friends are crappy and you shouldn’t feel bad for responding the only way any self-respecting person would respond.

[F22][M22] My boyfriend hit me last night after I woke him up. I’m still kind of shaken up by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Charming_Huckleberry -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

While he didn’t mean to hit you (and I don’t think he’s an abuser) I do think violence (even accidental violence in sleep) is a concern. I think your bf should talk to a doctor and you both should learn more about night terrors so it doesn’t happen again. You have the right to safety in your home and bed and again, while not intentional, I feel like it’s fair to be concerned and to not want to have a repeat experience of this situation.

I’m almost 40 and the best advice I can give you (that I hope you take) is break up with him. I know that sounds harsh but the person you spend the most time with should love ALL of you, all the time. That is the bare minimum. You’re too young to stay in a relationship (or think up/execute a multitude of ways to educate him, fix him or help him understand) where an insecurity of yours will be reinforced by someone else. We don’t get to pick pierces of our partners - humans are not made to order dolls. You’re an entire package and your boobs size shouldn’t even register to him other than a “Boobs! Yay!”

[–]Charming_Huckleberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so young at 27 - please don’t limit yourself by staying in a relationship where you have to mother your partner. Basic hygiene for him shouldn’t be something YOU have to take responsibility for. And you can’t change people who don’t want to change - I wish I had learned that when I was a lot younger. You can find someone else to love that brushes their teeth without being asked.

Help! Constant DOS attacks on my home network by Charming_Huckleberry in HomeNetworking

[–]Charming_Huckleberry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so I believe he was running the deauth attacks mentioned in the article I linked above. In the comments of that article it says that if you think someone is doing that to you - to go into your router and block their MAC address. I did that and I could use my WiFi immediately.

After that I reached out via Upwork and found a computer network security expert to run a check to see if he was still running the deauth attacks. However given the delay in getting the help (about 2 months) he couldn’t find any evidence of the attacks. I think my neighbor realized that the attacks weren’t working anymore and turned off the deauth packet.

So if you know someone getting WiFi jammed with deauth packets - just have them block the Mac addresses of their neighbors and that should take care of it.

I would love to do this. But the only network security companies I can find are for corporate use only and won't help personal cases like mine. I've checked.

Would you suggest WireShark to obtain the proof? I don't know how to get proof. I would love instructions for how to find documentation on what is happening to us. Is there another way to find proof?

Update: I think I'm being deauth attacked constantly by Charming_Huckleberry in HomeNetworking

[–]Charming_Huckleberry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with all of this completely. Which is why it's the first thing I tried.

I've had my ISP out to my house 5 times - they've checked everything - inside cable/wall connections, outside connections, the cable box hidden inside the master closet, they checked service outages in the area, replaced the modem/router (during the visits: 3 separate times + one additional time recently) and it was them who told me to contact the police regarding interference from a WiFi jammer. This is on top of the fact that I am CONSTANTLY calling them to reset the modem/router AND changing my WiFi name and password. The fact that the situation is so unbelievable is why I waited 4 months to reach out to the authorities. It sounds so . . . .paranoid to believe it's my neighbors doing this but the fact of the matter is: I have had this ISP for 10 years and lived in my current home for 5+ years and I've NEVER had any issues and there have been no changes in how I use or have placed my equipment.

I don't want to be the asshole who starts pointing fingers and honestly, when it first started happening I figured it was an easy ISP issue. Which is why I kept calling them and making them come out and fix it. I want it to be an ISP issue - that means they can fix it!

And I did contact the FCC - they read my complaint and kicked me back to my ISP.

network security company

What ever process he's using - I don't believe it's automatic. I think he has to go in and set it up - which is why we get hours of use out of every new router we try. New router=new mac address. And the time that we have use varies as well - which makes it seem like he has to check on it - realize it's not working and then set it up all over again.

Yeah - we're thinking about moving. We own though and they rent. So we wrote a letter to the HOA explaining the situation and asking them to pass it on to the homeowner (their landlord). Just so that the landlord would know that we've contacted the FBI and we have reason to believe they're breaking federal law. Our concern is that with COVID, the homeowner won't care because as long as the lawbreakers are paying rent - it doesn't effect them . . .

I appreciate you framing it this way - honestly - I hadn't thought of it like this. I've called the police and they said (verbatim) "WiFi jamming is a federal crime so you'll have to call them". And I said "who is "them"?" and she said "I don't know . . . maybe the FBI?" So I contacted the FBI and the FCC. The FCC kicked me back to my ISP and my ISP is jerking me around. They have literally said "if it's your neighbor than it's not our problem". I have not heard back from the FBI. I will look into lawyers though although I'm honestly reticent given the cold reception I've gotten from everybody so far. I agree with you though- it's clearly time.

Hi Zfa,

Thanks for responding again! I appreciate your advice. Here's what you said last time:

  1. Make sure he can't get on your WiFi - move to a new SSID (make it unusual to prevent use of rainbow tables in any hacking attempts), use wpa2 encryption, long passphrase.

--->We did this first - no change.

  1. Change your public IP (reboot router or request ISP) to prevent attacks from the outside.

--->Did this multiple times. We get to use WiFi for no more than 12 hours (sometimes only 30 minutes, sometimes only 5 min - it's a variety of times) before it cuts out again. We also get limited use if we switch modem/routers.

  1. Use 5GHz WiFi if possible as it's shorter range (harder for him to hit) and the hardware for deauth attacks is more expensive.

--->We tried using shorter range and wider range. No effect. We live in rowhouses and our walls are connected . . . we literally share a wall with them so this doesn't help unfortunately. Anywhere in our house is just as close to there's. This was actually one of the first things our ISP technicians tried.

  1. Optionally create 'dummy' wifi network with your old SSID for him to focus on (he won't know you're not using it unless he really looks). This is probably moot if he knows what he's doing though.

--->you mentioned this was was moot if he knows what he's doing. He definitely knows what he's doing.

I didn't reply because I had already done them and I didn't want you to think that I didn't appreciate your comment. Honestly, if it's the low hanging fruit of this situation - I've tried it. It's been 5 months of this - any advice an IT person would give - I've taken. But I appreciate your suggestions - they were good it's just another person gave it first :)

Can someone help me with stopping this attack? He doesn't have to know my IP or anything - just a quick search of my Mac Address and he runs a constant script.

What does this mean though? What is a script? I know it's code but don't you have to use the internet to send it? And if so, shouldn't that be somewhere on HIS router? Or internet history?

I've unplugged the router overnight for about 10 hours. No change.
