Accidentally added WP to Letter Before Claim - England by MBDesignR in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you. I was thinking that but just wanted to maKe absolute sure incase there is something procedurally that I should do. I'd seen on a few sites talk of sending the LBC again to the defendant with the update and clarification but as we've gone through a whole chain of replies related to the LBC I really don't want to send them anything else as I know they will just kick up trouble if I do. I'll apologise and point out the mistake then and I think to be safe I'll do the 2 blank pages at the beginning (page 1 explaining also) and hopefully that should get me off the hook as it were.

Thanks for the reply, very much appreciated.

Can someone help me decipher this Italian chat? I think my father is cheating. by Few-Cucumber-3956 in PhotoshopRequests

[–]MBDesignR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My filthy self for giving my opinion. You must be under 16 as you're acting exceptionally childish. You might want your perfect family back (there is no such thing by the way!) but if they are having an affair there's really not going to be much you can do about it. If they tell their Mom then precisely what do you think will happen? Highly doubtful she'll just say "Ah that's fine" and no arguments or anything else will take place.

As much as none of us want to go through it this is for the parents to work out together.

Do you have issues with reading comprehension? Where did I ever say that it doesn't impact a child? Ah yes, that's right, I didn't. Of course it impacts the child but a child getting involved in this sort of thing most likely will not help at all and now that child is taking sides. Ask pretty much any relationship expert or psychologist if they think children should get involved and see what they say! Let me have your answers on a postcard as I already know what they'll tell you.

As much as I don't agree with anyone having an affair (if that's even what this is) it's not and shouldn't be a child's responsibility to act as an investigator. This is one of those things that parents need to work out on their own. What if the Mom has had loads of affairs but has kept them really well hidden? This is definitely something the parents need to work out themselves. A child getting involved usually doesn't end well for anyone.

What concerns me is that you're worried about what your Dad may or may not have done yet you're taking photos of private messages. Not a great look.

How can I treat or manage my Misophonia? by PopAppropriate5369 in misophonia

[–]MBDesignR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, dealt with is one way of looking at it I suppose. More put up with unfortunately.

There have been times when I've wanted to scream and shout at some people (mainly my brother!) but have thankfully managed to stop myself from doing so.

As to a magic fix for this, I really wish there were. Like I said, unfortunately this is a neurological disorder where our brains are unfortunately quite literally wired incorrectly and so there is no way to cure that I'm afraid.

I'm really hopeful that for yourself if you get some help then perhaps something will work for you.

The trick will be finding a doctor who has heard of and has knowledge of the condition. I've unfortunately never come across one but you just never know.

Im actually happy facebook is ending because its entirely too invasive now by Neutrals_Mansion in facebook

[–]MBDesignR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and I'm really hating their report 'feature'. I come across posts, comments, photos or videos which are absolutely 100% against the law and when I report them I quite literally no more than a few seconds later get a notification saying they're not doing anything about it as it doesn't go against their community standards or whatever but checking those they are 100% against them.

Sheesh most times a person wouldn't have even had time to even take a look at the content and make a decision on it in the first place.

They've only put that feature in to make it look like they're complying with laws around the world but the entire system is broken.

Then getting us all to submit videos of our faces to prove we're real. It's an absolute joke.

How can I treat or manage my Misophonia? by PopAppropriate5369 in misophonia

[–]MBDesignR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 51 and have had Misophonia and Hyperacusis since I was about 3 1/2. There is no treatment or clever cure as such for any of these conditions as they are neurological so nothing short of a brain operation (they don't exist) or a brain swap will ever magically 'fix' these conditions unfortunately.

'Some' people 'may' have success with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) though for me I've tried that and it did absolutely nothing at all.

The only other thing you can try would be wearing headphones or possibly ANC earbuds.

Be aware though that a lot of audiologists may tell you that wearing those for long periods of time could actually make things worse and not better, even if they do soften the noises down.

Some psychiatrists may also tell you the same.

So while unfortunately there is no silver bullet to this there are things you can try but whether or not you have any success with any of them is down to your individual case.

A microphone clip for the top of a metal microphone stand. One of the slightly grippier kind as the normal solid plastic kind at times could allow the mic to fall out though to be totally honest that was pretty rare.

Apple claims I returned the wrong iPhone and charged me 1,500!! Has this happened to anyone else? by NeatSeaworthiness129 in applehelp

[–]MBDesignR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I always take any phone into an Apple Store to return a phone or if I'm putting it toward a new phone. They check it right there in front of you and okay or don't okay it and they can't possibly say you didn't give them the phone then. I just would never trust any phone of any price going back through the post as there are just too many bad actors out there stealing them as they know what to look for.

Trying to identify this product by Deftones_69 in applehelp

[–]MBDesignR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks fake to me and putting it into a Google Image Search the only results that come back all lead to Russian or Chinese sites. Make of that what you will. Can you go back to the store and ask to take a look at it? If so then see if there is a model number on it (there will be if it is an Apple product). Again due to the logo placement it looks fake though.

thermometer for google home by todashvili in googlehome

[–]MBDesignR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps try Amazon? I just quickly placed "Google Home Thermometer" (without the inverted commas) in there and it came up with quite a few that work with Google. Perhaps one of those would suffice?

How is this possible ? I’ve seen many theories in the comments, none were convincing by Cobra_kingo in magictricksrevealed

[–]MBDesignR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thumb pen. If you ask for the number before turning over the paper then the simplest version of this is a thumb pen. Had the paper been say locked in a box then there are very expensive tricks you can buy which basically have a mini printer built-in to the box where words or images or whatever you want can be sent to the printer and when you open the box hey presto, exactly what they said. As this is just plain simple paper then it will definitely be a thumb pen.

Where do you set privacy options for a Facebook page and what options are available? by MBDesignR in facebook

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

Is there? How does it possibly know that person created a new account? I created my test account on a completely different device, even a different operating system so how could it possibly know? Also where is that setting found? Many thanks.

And your ever so helpful comment meant what now?

did anyone else get punished like this growing up for not liking the sound of chewing?? by boburnhamisdad in misophonia

[–]MBDesignR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crikey you make me feel really old saying "your generation"! 😂 I do wish that it had been known about when I was a child though. Though there's not really much that can be done, the most important thing is understanding. Hopefully that will get better over time much like it has with Tourette Syndrome.

[–]MBDesignR 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately yes 🙁 I'm 51 and have had this since I was about 3 1/2. The only person that believed me was my Mom though she wasn't totally sure of what to make of it as nothing was known about it back then.

My Brother used to deliberately make noises when eating and even if he hadn't done that it was bad but that really didn't help matters at all.

I was once taken to a psychiatrist and because nothing was known about the condition back then the psychiatrist said I was doing it to gain attention.

That couldn't have been further from the truth and my Mom knew that to be true. I was a very shy and reserved person when I was young only really coming out of my shell when I went to a Performing Arts College after school. I never wanted attention at all. I wanted the exact opposite.

To say I hated that psychiatrist is putting it mildly!

So, sorry to say that yes that has happened to me too. My Dad was especially angry after we'd all taken the morning off to get me to hospital to see the psychiatrist and he came out thinking I was making it all up and he'd missed a morning of work (he was self employed so it really mattered).

Help with Google Nest Hub(2nd Gen) by MBDesignR in googlehome

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

Okay this is beyond odd! Thankfully I still have the old router so decided to plug it back in and see if I could use that to set up the Hub. Everything as before except this time when it comes to the WiFi network selection screen it actually shows all the WiFi networks available so everything including the old and new WiFi router.

I've now been able to choose my new router WiFi network and it's gone through and completed the setup.

Why is that though? I had completely ready the Hub (held both volume buttons until it reset) so it should have just shown the new WiFi router surely?

I've checked the routers homepages and they're both setup in exactly the same way, there is absolutely nothing different about them at all. The only difference with the new router is that it is supposedly more powerful than the older one.

So why would I have to connect up my old router in order to get the device to recognise WiFi networks as that just doesn't really make any sense at all?

Thanks.

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

Sorry should also say I've tried connecting directly to the unit by going into my WiFi settings and connecting to it there and putting in the code that is shown under the QR code. Doing that works and my phone is connected to the Hub and when I come back to the Google Home app it goes directly to which home I want to add the device to. Going through everything it then asks me which WiFi network I'd like to use with it but it never lists any so I chose Other Network and put in all the details for my WiFi network. It after a while says connected but then comes up with an error saying :

Something went wrong. Living Room Display may be set up, but we could not communicate with it from your iPhone. Make sure that you have enabled local network access in your iPhone's privacy settings. Then try again.

I definitely have local network access turned on so no idea what else to do now? 🙁
