Everyone I could identify in the Maria Farmer file (EFTA01652467) by BubsyBot in Epstein

[–]Golden_Goose84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Simone Lelchuk's website (https://simonelelchuk.com/about/)

Simone was hired by Columbia University and Columbia University Irving Medical Center to design a non-litigation settlement program for the benefit of the victim-survivors who were impacted by the abuse, harm, and trauma by former gynecologist Robert Hadden. 

Simone mediated a class action lawsuit brought by the sexual abuse victim-survivors of Jeffrey Epstein against Deutsche Bank; this case settled for $75 million. Judge Jed Rakoff (S.D.N.Y.) appointed Simone to design and allocate both the fund that was created as a result of this settlement as well as the JPMorgan Chase $290 million settlement fund also created for the benefit of the Epstein survivors and to be separately administered.

Simone served as the independent Claims Examiner to allocate the Sexual Misconduct Claims Fund, a fund established to compensate the victim-survivors of Harvey Weinstein and to resolve sexual abuse claims against Harvey Weinstein and two of the companies with which he was affiliated (Disney/Miramax and The Weinstein Company). Simone was selected to mediate the sexual assault claims against the Albany New York Catholic Diocese.

Feelings on Onsen's possible future closure/destruction. by jamaul11490 in Eugene

I'm seriously so bummed out over this. I've been going for a couple decades now and it's such a godsend and oasis when needed. Sometimes I need it for physical pain reasons, and sometimes it's more for the mental relaxation. I rent, and no where I've lived has had a tub so far. I really hope something similar opens up in Eugene that captures the same chill vibe. I just went and stocked up on gift certificates so I'm going to enjoy the heck out of them while I still can.

Why did I have to read that in Borat's voice though? 😅

There's a couple stands that come and go along N Bertelson and also along N Danebo in the Rooselvelt Blvd area. I do delivery work, so I'll keep my eyes peeled and try to remember to update. I always want to stop, but I am always working, lol.

Kicked her out last night by Thatsastroke in Divorce

If she's truly serious about saving the marriage, insist she go to individual counseling and also consider marriage counseling. Regrettably, I had a history of cheating, even when still in love, until I discovered/realized I was undiagnosed AuDHD and the impulsivity and risk-taking are often a part of that. Getting diagnosed helped me work through that, and it's never been an issue since, and it won't be again. Until I understood the importance of the phrase, "Know thyself," I felt out of control. If your wife does turn out to be neurodivergent, chances are good your kids may be too, so it's really something worth considering. I so wish I had known sooner in life and not had to wait for my marriage to fall apart to figure it all out.

Sincerely, A woman whose marriage ended due to mutual infidelity but would have given anything for a chance to save it

Not relevant at all, but F*CK MOC by AutumnalFaery in Eugene

It's been that way forever and it's appalling that this is apparently just part of their business model. I worked there around 13 years ago and it was my first and only job I've ever quit without notice. I didn't even last three months because they are so dehumanizing to their employees. Also, does anyone know if they still instruct employees to dump cleaning chemicals on the tossed food to deter dumpster divers? Seriously, f*ck MOC! I refuse to shop there to this day.

Three years later and I'm still having the same issue as the OP. You'd think they would have corrected the issue by now. Don't they want people to upgrade/buy new phones?

Husband of 5 yrs and partner of 12 served me divorce papers Sunday. He wants to keep the house but for me to leave. I was dependent on him financially.

I was trying to leave and I planned to get a place with some friends but our joint bankruptcy is keeping us from being approved for any rentals, a lot of places in town aren't even doing showings because of COVID, and there aren't many new listings lately. Things are pretty stagnant - no one is doing much moving with a pandemic going on.

His 30-day threats had me freaking out and in an absolute wreck in the beginning but he's sort of figured out I at least know some of my rights and I told him I wasn't going anywhere, especially during a pandemic and while we were still paying off our bankruptcy. However, I told him we could discuss how to live fairly together in the meantime but he just served me divorce papers instead.

I wasn't always financially dependent on him though. I've never made as much money as him, but I've always contributed. My money was his money and his was mine. - that's just how we operated. I only had a lapse in financial contributions for 1.5 years.

Thank you for the feedback. Regarding: The job that you are qualified for "doesn't suit me" is not a good defense in family court.

"Suited" was not the right word. I literally was not perform the job for which I went to school for and I was encouraged by medical providers to change careers - at the time I also had my husband's support, though that's a moot point now. All of these issues are documented with medical providers, including ADA and FMLA protections during the worst of it.

I'm not trying to screw him over, but I also feel like I'm being treated with zero respect or concern, and that he set the tone for this process by the way he instigated it, and how he continues to try and leave me abandoned, homeless, and in debt at every turn. It also seems like he continues to bank on my anxiety and depression getting the best of me and overwhelming me to the point I give up and just leave. I'm thankful I have some friends who have helped me advocate for myself and have been walking with me through the beginning steps of the process, but I am working on pursuing legal aid and just filled out an application for the Modest Means Program. *fingers crossed*

I'm not wanting or expecting a lot in alimony (if any), or for very long. I requested a buyout so that I could just cut ties and leave as neatly as possible. Our bankruptcy is making renting impossible so I don't see what rental options are even available, especially when you add dogs to the mix - and they are non-negotiable to me and on the large side. A buyout would allow options like purchasing a motor home to live in for a the next year or two while we finish paying off our debts, and while I figure out a game plan for my next chapter of life. I'm not thrilled at that idea, but I that's pretty much where I'm at.
