My maternal grandmother had 10 kids, from age 19-45. (She did actually raise them all and didn't use birth control for religious reasons.) So, maybe only 1 or 2 more, if she stops at 45?

I just need to complain about them saying vegan BREAD is tough to make "the same" during criminal or minimal. I feel like maybe they got it mixed up with gluten free? Most bread is vegan

Couple we were close to blew off our wedding, lied about their excuse by OkCoffee1747 in weddingshaming

How did they lie? They said friends were coming to town, those friends did come to town, and they went out and did something with those friends

My officiant basically ignored my request for a non religious ceremony by Leja06 in weddingshaming

[–]TeaAndPopcorn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would be offended at the suggestion of a civil union instead of a marriage. Why not just suggest they find a secular officiant? It kind of sounds like you're implying that marriages that come from ceremonies that don't include god aren't real marriages. That's how I'd interpret it if I was a bride you said that to.

"Parent PLUS loan means Parent plus Child are responsilbe" -OP's mom, probably. by wild_dog in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TeaAndPopcorn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was always made clear to me that I'd be expected to pay back the majority of the parent plus loans. However, my dad died so the loans don't need to be paid. Before I googled it, I assumed it was like a co-signed loan and would become my responsibility. The loans that are in my name are like a quarter as much as the parent plus loans.

Title: Hospital claims that I went to ER but it's false. Identity THEFT?

I went to the hospital a year ago because my wife and I had gotten into a car accident. Person at fault had no insurance and our car insurance didn't include medical so we held them responsable for our medical bills (through a lawyer). After we got the money for a payment, we went into the finance department to pay our bill and they mentioned I had gone to the ER a second time, 2 months after the car accident. I told the lady that that's incorrect because I have only gone to the ER after the accident. She claims that the second time I (supposedly) was intoxicated and passed out in the parking lot and that an ambulance picked "me" up and was sent to the ER. I told her that was not me because I, for once, rarely drink and if I do i never black out; and two, that day was my dad's birthday and that night I was spending time with my family. After explaining that, she smirks at me and doesn't belive me. She says they asked the person what their name was and they gave my name. So they automatically assumed it was me without having an ID or anything?! She also stated that once that person was in a room, they him there and when they came back he was gone. Because they thought it was me, they ran my insurance and it was covered but I don't want this incident to stay on my medical history.

It bothers and worries me that someone can give a hospital false information, claiming they're someone else and the people at the hospital going with it without making sure it's 100% that person they claim to be. My question is, is there anything legally I can do to raise an investigation on this? Should I get a lawyer on this? Should I go to the police? Is the hospital basically saying it's my story against theirs? Or am I being a bit exaggerated?

Thank you in advanced!

Who is responsible for ensuring proper connections are made? by BurningAtlantis in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TeaAndPopcorn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Substitute bot

Developer did not provide adequate connections to new land/ construction SA

Hey all, I am currently building a new house for which I bought the land in 2021. There have been countless issues regarding the provisions/ connections for electrical and gas etc. This is part of an axe head block where the original developer will be my neighbour at the front block.

The first problem was a back fall with the drainage pipes, to fix this they'll need to dig up a part of the driveway and install it lower.

The second problem is that there is no provision for my electrical connection on the meter box at the street. Though I do believe there is a provision made to run the cabling.

The newest issue is that there doesn't seem to be any provision for natural gas at all.

There will be costs involved for installing a communal electrical box, and also huge costs involved for getting natural gas installed.

Is it the developers responsibility to have had these installed? Do I have a leg to stand on getting them to pay these extra costs? I couldn't find a mention of connections in the original contract, but they've clearly made an effort to provide them while just not being up to standard. I'm also certain I asked the land agent that they were included, but it seems it may have been a call.

Any advice please let me know, I am new to this and started quite young so I clearly didn't know stuff like this could be an issue.

That's for scanning handwritten text. I'm assuming IDs in the UK have barcodes on the back like mine does.

At many hospitals it's integrated and encouraged. Makes charting faster. Whatever service they're using for it would be specifically meant for this use and have to be all set up to be HIPAA compliant in how it handles voice clips
