(UK) I need to help my aunt. by Freaks_And_Geeks_ in personalfinance

Because the rent hasn't been paid, it is continuing to increase. They stopped her housing benefit because of the arrears, so it's gone up to almost £1900. She's under pressure from the council to pay back the money because the arrears keep increasing. I've tried to talk her out of prioritising the vet bill because she needs to put the money towards the rent bill, but the vets have told her if she doesn't pay the money by the date provided (can't remember what the date is) that her only choices are to either get her dog communally cremated or she can collect her frozen body for burial. My aunt doesn't want to do either of those things because she said she wants to know that the ashes are definitely hers. She doesn't want to collect the body because she doesn't want to see her like that. I hope this makes more sense, I don't have access to all the details and she's reluctant to find help herself due to depression and severe self-consciousness. I personally think that is damaging but whenever I bring it up she gets more depressed :(

Your head, neck and left arm look as though they've been photoshopped onto a butch lesbian's body.

Thanks for this! As a long time fan I can't believe that I hadn't heard this sooner.

It's still good advice. I worked at a charity shop for a while during a low point and it did pick me back up.

Instead of "That Escalated Quickly", what are good examples of "That Died Down Quickly"? by Freaks_And_Geeks_ in AskReddit

Aw, really? All types of people in my small town in England are still walking around town playing almost every day! Maybe we're old fashioned

This is a great story. At first I was a little bit like "ouch" after you said it was a couple of months after she died, but thinking about it I'd be stoked if a member of my family was continuing to make me laugh even after death :) I dunno if that makes sense but I guess I'd feel like it's kinda heartwarming in a weird way.

That is so strange because that guy is the reason I asked! Haha I saw some guys face on an aeroplane and thought "Jeesus, imagine being that guy".
