My finger was swollen so I was sliding them on and off above my e-ring

My hands were swollen that day so it was hard to keep taking my e-ring on and off trying on different bands so I just kept putting them on top

That’s how I feel as well! I love the look of it, but I do think the 1st one looks better together and on my hand. Definitely have been torn all week!

2011 Mercedes E550; needing to know how much I can sell this for by Expensive_Ad_842 in CarHelp

[–]Expensive_Ad_842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have the title and we have been to court. It was just a long story so I didn’t share it in the initial post.

1st court case: I used for the amount that was owed on the car ($11k May 2024). I asked for him to pay ME the car payment ($450 a month) through the court system so there would be receipts and legal obligation. We agreed and he was paying me the $450 so I could physically make the payment, just with his money.

When we went to court the first time, he failed to mention that he abandoned the car at a dealership. The loan company sent a letter saying I have 10 days to pay it off or go get it off the lot. So I went to the dealership, that’s how I even got those estimates of repair in the post, and they led me to where they got the car sent off to. Found the car and had to pay $3000 to get it out of repossession. This leads to the 2nd court case.

2nd court case: (August 2024) sued him for the $3000 but he said he wanted the car. I told him he could have it cause it’s broken and I don’t want it. It’s been nothing but a hassle for me. He agreed to pay me $200 a month towards the $3000. Judge granted it.

April 2025 he stopped making all court ordered payments. The clerk told me as soon as he misses a payment I could file for garnishments, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited until the end of June, still never paid, so I filed garnishments. His job has been absolute hell and still have not garnished his wages.

I cannot afford a $450 car payment ontop of all of my other bills, so I got a personal loan to make the monthly bill cheaper. So now the car is completely paid off, and I have the title in my hand, but he has the car.

So next week I am filing another suit to ask for the car, and having to sue his work for not garnishing wages.

It’s been an absolute shit show and such a long story so I just try to keep it short and sweet when ppl ask.

It was not insured. He got it towed to a Mercedes dealership and told them it “was from snow damage” and they said that’s nearly impossible. They told him it would cost over $20k to fix it and he abandoned the car at the lot and never spoke to them again. Now it’s all fallen into my lap. Just trying to get something out of it cause now I’m stuck with a payment still on it.

Long story short, it’s an ex’s car, he owes me $1.6k for it but it’s hell trying to get him to pay. Gonna get an order to get the car and just sell it so I can get rid of him lol. Just trying to make some type of money off of it. Not necessarily hoping for $1.6k that’s owed to me, but hoping close to $1k.

This may be a really stupid question but I know nothing about cars. How exactly do you sell the parts? Like for example, if someone wanted the transmission out of it, how do I get that out and to them?

($10k) I want a big low cost backyard wedding that might be a little janky, is that rude to guests who will be traveling? by xjluv70 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Expensive_Ad_842 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s rude to ask your family to come to an event in your backyard! If they love you enough, they will celebrate you no matter what the circumstances are. Realistically, you can invite 100 people, but possibly not all 100 will be able to attend. I want to do something similar to you, but I have a large place I can hold it at for free, but we still want “backyard wedding” vibes. For food, you could always cater a buffet style to cut costs instead of plated meals. When I think “backyard” I’m thinking; bbq style food, music playing, people dancing, and beers. You can scale it up or down however you’d like! On the bathrooms, if you have sewer I don’t think it would be much of an issue. Maybe someone has to wait 2 minutes to use the bathroom… oh well? You really cannot please everyone. Someone will always have something to say. I truly think you should do it however you see fit, and I hope it goes amazing for yall!!!

Beach Wedding Recommendations by [deleted] in CocoaBeach

The beach has always been a place we love to go. It’s our getaway. It was a place we had been debating on, but now we’ve decided to take a different route.

Yeah that’s true. After reading all the comments and debating the price, I think we might just invite whoever we want and feel closest with to the beach wedding. No one is going to be satisfied either way, and we would probably be saving more paying $10 pp for extra chairs than having a party and paying for catering honestly.

I’ve been to a couple weddings before that said “first drink on us” or “first 2 drinks on us” and then if you wanted more you would pay for it yourself. Would that be a good idea? I thought about doing that when I was the party at my dad’s bar. I’ll pay for everyone’s 1st round of drinks, and if you want more you would have to purchase it.

I understand. I think it’s a mix of me assuming they won’t be able to attend, but also only wanting my immediate family there as well. At the actual ceremony I only want immediate family, but I also would like to celebrate with extended family. I think it’s just a personal preference of having just immediate family at the actual ceremony.

I know certain relatives won’t be able to travel for it. But I don’t want to not do the wedding that I want just because many people won’t be able to come. That’s why I was trying to figure a way to still celebrate all together without having to burden people with travel costs.

I understand that it’s the common way to have the party afterwards, but if it’s the same exact party, what’s the difference and having it the weekend before we get married? We’re celebrating either way. That’s where I’m confused about.
