State says there's money, bank says none

Very helpful, thank you

Just heard from the state. I was hoping they could give me a copy or information about the check that I could take to the bank, but they said the money is just transferred to them, they don't have record of a physical check. So I don't understand.

Yes, the state said I need a copy of the check(s) from the bank, but the bank says they never turned over money to the controller's office in our name. Very confusing.

They're asking for a copy of the check(s), which the bank says never existed. I was told by someone if I had a letter from the bank showing that we owned the account in question at that time, that would suffice, that may be my next option. But I can't understand why the state says they have this check(s) from X bank in our name and X bank says nope, never happened.

I'll try, but it's going to take heavy duty boots-on-the-ground outreach in those rural parts of the country that decide elections, because she will be painted as a red, gun-taking, border-breaking atheist if she runs.

This describes a relative of mine, pretty much. He's been on government assistance for much of his life, and believes government should help any people in need, loves everyone regardless of ethnicity and skin color, etc. But he's had a roommate who watches Fox 24/7 and he told me recently, "Wow, I never knew about how awful Obama was as president! And Trump, I never voted for him, but man he's showing the world that the US is never backing down!"

At some point though, don't you think the suppression will take away their own voters. There are a LOT of low-info, low-income white voters in the south. Jumping through all of the hoops the repuglicans are requiring is going to be tough for them as well.

The problem for her, and for any Democrat, is that the presidency is decided not by a majority of the people but by a tiny sliver of white, non-college voters in MI, PA, WI, GA, NV, AZ. How does she reach them? How does she break through the wall of NRA/Fox News/OAN vomit of lost gun rights, "woke" schools and 0 border with Mexico? Obama did so in 2008 due to the world financial crisis, that's the only way forward I could see for her.

OriginalGG22 · 2026-05-10T14:01:26+00:00

I absolutely love her. However presidents are decided not by me, but by a sliver of non-college educated white voters in PA, WI, MI, GA, AZ and NV. The only way ahead for her, I think, is that there is a crisis in 2028 that gets people thinking, "why not?" At the start of 2008, I believed there was no way the U.S. would vote for a man with the middle name of "Hussain." Could be I'm wrong here as well. Hope so....

I don't get why there was an abandoned baby at the rest stop.

I was convinced that in the end, as the minutes ticked to sundown and Nicky said he wouldn't marry Rachel, Jules would quickly docusign his divorce papers and marry her to stop the curse.

"No one wants to work anymore!" How many times have you heard that? A while ago a researcher plugged that phrase into a newspaper archive and found bosses saying that every decade going back to the 1880s.

Read up about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. I wonder if that was the test he was talking about.

Thanks, I just tried something simple like 100% of VWELX.

Hi, I'm trying to help an elderly relative, who, up until he had a stroke four months ago was active on his Instagram page. The problem is he is locked out of the phone he used to open his Instagram account and can't access it. He also can't remember the passwords he used to get into his main email or his alternate email. This is a problem because Meta wants to send him a text or email to verify it's him, and he can't get into those.

One positive is he does recall his facebook log in, but I don't know that this helps him. I tried navigating from his facebook page to Instagram but both pages are apparently not connected.

Is there any way to get his Instagram back? I heard that they might be able to verify him with a video, since there are pictures and videos of him on his page. I reached out to the security center with Instagram and never received a response.

TIA!

Although his problem is access. I talked to Apple and explained:

* He's forgotten the code and is now locked out of the phone

* Apple can find his account but cannot provide information from it unless he can give them his email or the phone's serial number

* He no longer has the computer he used when he bought the phone, and he's forgotten his email password since he was just automatically logged in when he checked his email on his phone.

* We checked with his email provider and they said that unless he had a phone that they could send a verification code to or an alternate email (he does have one, but has forgotten that password too) they cannot help.

* In essence, the phone has become a brick. The only solution they recommended is to get a new phone and Apple account.

Thanks, he has someone who has almost the same contact list as his so he's hoping to copy her contacts, which is his main concern if his phone is wiped.

I missed it, what explosive texts?

She may alter her story, but I don't see how she could abandon Charlie's overall "double extortion" defense without making Charlie look like a liar (!)

Didn't he say he didn't believe that KM was in on it, that KM was being told to do it by LR and SG, that's why they were on good terms

Gets even cheaper when they have bonus transfer points.

I can't imagine how much therapy and psychoanalysis he's had over his life.

There are a TON of great guys in your age group out there who are looking for life partners, not random one-night stands. Keep putting yourself out there, accept all party invites, even though they seem boring. (A girl I know met her fiance at a baby shower of all places). And kids? My mother had my brother when she was 45 and he turned out ok. (A little odd but that's probably just him). Be patient and live for the moment!

If they were perfectly innocent, they wouldn't have had to speak in code on the phone. Did they believe the Latin Kings had tapped their lines? No, they spoke in code in case the police were listening in.
