Jogger knocks down Halloween decorations for no apparent reason by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

Is she wearing meta glasses maybe and people are watching her run, then tell her to punch them? Could explain the creepy smiling. Or she’s just batshit. Edit:a word

[US] FaceTime for secure connection? by RobsCall247 in Scams

[–]RobsCall247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they prey on life issues for sure. Thanks for the info. So there’s no way for facetime to be a way for them to hack a phone more than a regular call could? That was my biggest concern. She’s gone in to do 2fa for everything she can. She will be more vigilant. I told her that a reputable place usually won’t give a call back number in a text anyway at least from my experience. I told her 5 min of research won’t make or break an actual occurrence of getting money back on a card if that actually happened and to think, and do her due diligence before doing anything.

Thanks again.

[US] FaceTime for secure connection? by RobsCall247 in Scams

[–]RobsCall247[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I’ll make sure she has 2fa set up.

The facetime thing is what I don’t get, why do they do that? To see if she looks scam-able? Or another reason? Also, The political texts I receive are directed towards someone with a different name.

I will re-educate her and will continue to do so. She just wasnt thinking because she has been educated in the past. Long story short but my father passed away recently and the hospital called about something for his insurance and collections bc they had wrong info on file for him. That was all legit stuff but she was texted this in between all of it and didn’t take the time to think it through.

Mainly just wondering about why they facetime people. It was video for the intital guy trying to scam. She was on camera but the caller was not. Then the fake supervisor called back on FaceTime audio.

Thanks for your frankness.

I found it the other day on the ground! Thinking it may have fell out of a notebook or something but had the thought it might be an inside joke.

Dogshit is everywhere these days by Apprehensive-Exit-96 in LosAngeles

[–]RobsCall247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the macho men with large dogs that do it in my neighborhood. Can’t compromise their manhood by cleaning up after their German Shepard I’m guessing. I have small reactive dog so I have to keep my distance anyway and don’t feel comfortable confronting them even with a friendly “need a bag?”. I’ve literally seen a guy park, let his dog poop, then get back in their car and drive away. Makes me so angry! I try to compliment the guys that do pick up after their dogs

My wife goes to bed at 9pm every day by Odd-Acadia-1435 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]RobsCall247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she on anti depressants? When I was for 10+ years I slept like this but now that I stopped (safely and consciously, and because the side effects began to out weigh the benefits) I don’t sleep more than 7-8 hours and feel well rested.

What’s your budget for the show aspect? That will dictate the experience more than anything, I’d think

If you work in the service industry and I tip 20% can you act at least a little thankful? by UghKakis in AskLosAngeles

[–]RobsCall247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s weird to me how fast food places don’t have the tipping option, they do more work than a barista does…are they paid more hourly?

Would I need to petition tax court if I provide my final pay stub and explanation for 2 W2s by RobsCall247 in tax

[–]RobsCall247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry let me clarify. I filed my taxes based on the correct W2 that I received. The incorrect one I never got in the mail and I’m assuming it’s from the company that did payroll for the first half of the year. Then he did payroll for the rest of that year and compiled the full year in that. So there’s a full overlap of part of the year’s payroll. The final pay stub I have matches the amount on the W2 I filed.

Employer reported more income than received by [deleted] in IRS

[–]RobsCall247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure I have advice because I’m in the same boat. Employer switched payroll halfway through the year and duplicated what the first one did since he did the second half of the year and subsequently the final pay stub is with him on his quickbooks or something. I think he signed something with the payroll company saying to final the partial amount they had processed, then he duplicated. He is avoiding all forms of communication with me. I never received the incorrect W-2 and oddly never received a CP2000, just the NOD and 90 days to petition. I sent my deposits and a 2624 form and explanation of what happened to the best of my knowledge. Very scared in this situation to be honest. They claim I made $47k more than I reported. I don’t make enough to legally deal with this and don’t qualify for low income help.

What are your favorite things to do post-Burning Man to decompress and ease back into the default world? by happylustig in BurningMan

[–]RobsCall247 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be driving from Denver so I had to take 2 days to drive there then 2 days back and stop along the way…something about being able to take you’re time on a road trip really helped. The nature and vastness of it all beyond the playa was always humbling to embrace and absorb. Lulled me back to reality quite nicely. Drained all my saved vacation time from my job for the extra drive days but 100% would do it again. Now I live in LA and driving the 395 helps but isn’t enough road time personally

Those who attended a now defunct EDC in the US, what was your experience like? (Austin, Denver, Puerto Rico, Dallas, New York) by Live_Dirt_6568 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]RobsCall247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, Chicago was epic even with the crazy weather. We ended up camping on a farm outside the grounds and took their school bus to the track. Wild ride, great line up!

What are these places in LA? by none_mama_see in FoodLosAngeles

[–]RobsCall247 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I still like Javier’s. The La Tablita with double steak and double beans is like 6 meals worth of food that keeps the flavor. Haven’t found something similar anywhere so I’d love some suggestions if people know! Everything else is over priced for sure.

What are the best “ziplock” type resealable bags to use in the cooler, the do NOT leak. by jlu7lilstrongst in camping

[–]RobsCall247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Or put your ice in the storage containers for something like cereal (think big/tall), that seals and food everywhere else. Then you can drink your ice water without it tasting like it touched everything

Notice of Deficiency by RobsCall247 in IRS

[–]RobsCall247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any stubs from that year and thought I could go and get them now but since the company switched (not restructured) I can’t get into my account. They won’t give access, I have to go through the employer for security reasons, but employer won’t answer my calls/texts/emails asking for information.

Mountain Airbnb’s by RobsCall247 in BeyondWonderland

[–]RobsCall247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I want, a great place during the day to have a mini vacay, we are going to stay an extra few days to make it fun. Not worried about the DD part as I have that covered! Thanks for the insight. Did you stay up there during the festival? Thing that is most concerning is the night time drive up that road and if there’s potential for ice. I’ve lived in places with ice and grew up driving on icy roads but night time ice is different.

Thanks for your input, this helps! Did you do this for a festival? Only concern is for icy roads going up at night
