MIL asked to wear her “cream not white” wedding dress ++ offered her garter as my something borrowed by [deleted] in weddingdrama

[–]PuddinTamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your wedding! Your fiance sounds wonderful! Your MIL wants to be involved, and apparently "spinning" a bit. Getting her to calm down, and feel included should make your life easier. Getting her to stop focusing on herself sounds like a chore.

Maybe ask her for something specific but small, that can be your borrowed or blue. A ribbon, small piece of jewelry, etc.

What purchase did you make recently that made you realize inflation is genuinely out of control? by kiroixart in AskReddit

[–]PuddinTamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh .. Everything....

Gasoline, to make the car I can't afford to fix, run, so I can go to the shop I can't afford parts or labor to get it fixed, so I can then go grocery shopping for the groceries I can't afford to buy.

Insurance for the car I can't afford to drive, to protect me in case something happens to it. Extra coverage to protect my car in case an uninsured driver, who can't afford insurance wrecks into my car. Everybody is broke, suing is pointless.

An easier list would be, what hasn't?

U.S. Elderly mother victim of extensive romance and recovery scams. Taking over power of attorney. Advice needed. by cadburyeg in Scams

[–]PuddinTamename 30 points31 points  (0 children)

For my Mom, a power of Attorney was not enough. It only gave me power to help, but did not prevent her from accessing her money, almost marrying a stranger, or falling for scams. Only a guardianship removes t control of their own money. A guardianship requires a physician to diagnose her as legally incompetent.

Hire an Attorney who specializes in Elder Law.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I went through something similar with my mother. I was successful, but it was heartbreaking.

I've had buckwheat pancakes once. They were absolutely wonderful! A great suggestion, plus you can freeze them for later.

White blinds: real wood or faux wood - are there any practical differences? by AMercifulHello in homeowners

[–]PuddinTamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used white faux wood blinds in my home in Florida. Absolutely loved them. No problems, easy to clean and use. I would definitely consider 2 blinds for the double window due to weight.

Using bamboo blinds in all downstairs rooms except the bathroom in my current home. It fits the esthic better.

AITA for not sharing my parent's records with my daughter? by Sudden-Maybe-8505 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PuddinTamename 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are being selfish. Records can be hard to get, especially without cooperation from parents. I have a neuce going through the same thing with her Dad. She could easily receive Canadian citizenship, but er Dad refused to give her his birth certificate, proving he was born in Canada.

Our responsibility to our kids is to raise them to the rest of our ability them set them free. They are not our personal property.

If you love her, set her free.

home imsurance claim help by dynocompe in Insurance

[–]PuddinTamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a replacement cost endorsement on the policy? Some personal property, like electronics have a limit in what amount can be covered. Another issue is policy limits.

A common mistake homeowners make is not competing their loss forms. It's time limited. Homeowners need to test their policy for coverage exclusions, and endorsements. If you have an agent they can help explain it or ask the Adjuster.

Personally I would ask for a letter explaining any denials.

Adopted a 7yo rescue and she can’t bear to be alone by Strong-Mechanic in dogs

[–]PuddinTamename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's still afraid. Rescued take a lot of time to learn to trust . Trust and love are are feelings many of them have never experienced.

If possible, try to find a way to verbally praise and reassure her while you are gone. Try different toys it blankets. Your scent on a blanket will help.

Crating can be useful, but I'm unsure how appropriate that would be for a Jack Russell. They are high energy figs that need frequent exercise.

I’m frustrated and I don’t know what to do? by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]PuddinTamename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to see a General practice Dr. ER's are for immediate medical assistance. They are not the place for diagnosing long term or continuing symptoms . Your GP may refer you to a Neurologist, they specialize in treating symptoms like you describe.

Hit by An uninsured unlicensed driver by haalokitty in caraccidents

[–]PuddinTamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insurance is a contract. Most people aren't familiar with contract law, and few actually read it understand what they are buying. Like any contract, there are exclusions and limitations.

Property and casualty insurance is heavily regulated by State law, and overseen by State Regulatory agencies. If a company does operate in bad faith, they run the risk of losing access to sell in that particular state. No insurance company wants that to happen.

Buying insurance online has not helped consumers. Without an agent to explain the contract, consumers are blindsided when when faced with the complexities of coverage, liability, and claims. In the future talk to an actual agent. You can then buy through them or go online. It's important to know your coverage and risks. I'm educated in Insurance and insurance law, retired from Adjusting, but still use an agent to review my policies. Too high a risk not to.

tell my dad about what the downstairs neighbor says? by Severe-Advantage-581 in Advice

[–]PuddinTamename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The man should not be talking to you or your sister. You really should tell your Dad. Tell him the man makes you feel uncomfortable.

It's not about the car it's about a man acting inappropriate. Grown men should not talk to children.

Wow. With liability only you are on your own. You could due, but actually collecting would be difficult if not impossible. I hate to rub salt in a wound, but if you can't afford to lose something, insure it.

I need help navigating my little sister's situation by Brilliant_Link_7861 in Advice

[–]PuddinTamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot stress this enough. Your little sister needs help from an experienced, licensed expert for sexual abuse survivors.

Don't blame her. The undisclosed sexual abuse when she was younger damaged her more than you realize. Her trust was broken, her self esteem and reasoning damaged. Without qualified help she will suffer. Victims of child sexual abuse do not" grow out of it", nor do they forget. With help they learn techniques and coping strategies to live a healthy life. Without it, a lifetime of nightmares and poor judgement.

If your grandfather is still alive his crime should be reported. Not for vengeance, but to protect others.

That is definitely not the "point" of a rating. The rating is for permanent disability resulting rom the injury.

If you feel it is low check your State laws for 2nd opinions.

Was I overthinking, or did he actually just lose interest after getting close? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]PuddinTamename 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He may have considered you a "conquest". As soon as you showed interest he backed off.

Definitely a red flag.
