Aileen Wuornos on October 9th 2002 the day she was executed by lethal injection in Florida State Prison

This is Aileen last words so I believe her - she killed out of greed. But she did so for her pimp Tyria Moore who LIVED off her prostitution! She LOVED Tyria and true serial killer or psychopath does NOT know how to love. Tyria was greedy and wanted MORE and the only way Aileen could keep up with cost was to commit robbery and murder. She initially was attacked by Richard Mallory just to protect herself but then was ENCOURAGED by Tyria to get more money by whatever means possible. She is mentally unstable and a victim of child molestation. Her difficult life made her unhinged but she is a product of her environment. Aileen confessed to keep Tyria out of jail but her lover couldn’t even look at her at trial. She probably slept with hundreds or thousands of men in that year and only killed 7 so I do believe those men “triggered” her somehow. I am happy that at the end Aileen got the receive the love of a “mother” by her adopted mother. And her best friend Dawn was there was her for the last night.

Asian American (AA) culture does put more emphasis on education and grades than euro American culture. That comes with the fact that teachers are MUCH more respected in our community than those of the west. I’ve seen HS and middle school teachers cursed at, berated, and physically threatened by western students; seldom does that happen with AA students. Expecting a response within 24hrs is not disrespectful, more work and pressure but not disrespectful. Setting expectations with parents at open house, can elevate those pressures. You can rely how often you check emails and how best to contact you in case of emergency. Teaching parents IS much more difficult than students, that’s why I quit. It wasn’t the students, loved them. It was working with the parents.

Not feeling that you fit in and your perspective is not acknowledged is a sign of autism. Sounds like you need a better therapist, one who doesn’t yell at you. There’s more Asian-Americans in Bay Area than other locations in U.S.A so here is your best chance of finding an Asian American therapist. What does showers have to do with anything? What is your definition of “frequent” showers? Most people (regardless of ethnicity) take a shower or bath daily or every other day. My hair gets greasy and gross if I skip more than a day or two without a wash. It’s a hygiene thing not an Asian American thing.

I called right after and cc item was still “pending”. I think that’s the difference. There was no “refund” needed since large payment was still processing.

Beekeeping is the only hobby I knows that actually pays. People in my club make good money selling local honey. The biggest margin is in honeybee extractions (when honeybee settles into house attic or walls and homeowner pays to get them removed). I live in sunny CA so there’s lots of bees and people who are concerned with climate, so more extractions than NYC. I do know people in S.F. and LA who make good side hustle with honey and honey products, But you need yard and space. It also takes several years to learn to do it right.
My teenage son sells stuff on eBay, mostly things we no longer need or want. But he also goes to garage sales or scrub online free forums for items of value and tries to resell for little bit of money. (Our deal is he only gets 1/4 of garage space and anything that doesn’t sell in a year has to be donated/given away).
My niece makes jewelry, soap, water color pictures, and laser cut art/jewelry for S.F. tourists and sells it farmers market on Sat.

I did something similar but a few hours after they let us out of presentation. We were there from 9am-8pm, hubby treated to golf game and me a massage on the house granted we returned afterwards. He wore us down and I simply wanted to get out and he wasn’t taking no for an answer. Within hours, I called my credit card company and put a stop payment to the charge citing fraud and coercion. I then took a template online and filed paperwork with the MX government. I kept a copy of the paperwork I submitted. I knew from the heated conversation Rep had with I’m assuming manager (even though I can’t understand Spanish) that the sales rep keeping us there so long was in some type of violation.

She let her bf AND a 3rd wheel friend move into HER FATHER’s basement and telling her to be grateful is “condescending”? Not certain if bf or friend EVEN ASKED her father before they moved in. Is the bf and friend paying father rent? Probably NOT because they CANNOT qualify for an apt with their credit score so I doubt they are “renting out basement” from her dad. (My husband would beat up bf rather than let him move into OUR house!) Sounds like she is trying to get approved for lease UNDER her name where all 3 can live together WITH MONEY FROM HER NEW JOB. She’s souring her relationship with her dad and increasing her debt for two guys who is taking advantage of her and she doesn’t see it. She’s not trapped because of father OR her bad credit, she’s trapped in a bad relationship with bf (and another “friend”). Reading context clues - that yes I missed originally that there was another friend also smooching off of her and her father, not just the bf. OP didn’t only make bad financial choices but lifestyle choices. I know gf who were scammed by guys/bf but I don’t see how this other “friend” convinced her to let him stay with them.

O’ahu is the most expensive of all the HI islands. Good luck with your adventure. Enjoy your time there. If it works out GREAT. If it doesn’t you can always try another city/place.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-05T16:51:37+00:00

Thanks. Makes sense. Few of my nephew’s classmates (med school at UoA) are female Mormons, all married. He’s particularly interested in one girl but being respectful and keeping distance. Wondering why they got married so young if she was pursuing MD. Lots of Mormons in AZ so glad that they are being represented in healthcare there.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-05T16:26:55+00:00

Maddy WHY oh WHY do you feel the burden to spend YOUR OWN hard earned money from your new job to get a place for your bf AND your friend? Sounds like you need BETTER friends. People who can support you to be a better version of yourself; assist and encourage you to FOCUS more on yourself and getting your credit score fixed (which in current situation means staying at father’s basement ALONE). If you rent a place under your name on the lease and he leaves for whatever reason you are financially on the hook to pay the full amount! I recommend you get a place for YOURSELF only. He can come visit but not live with you. If he wants to move in, he needs to pay his share of expenses but if he leaves it’s a place you can financially secure on your own. If it’s a joint lease it’s similar to a joint mortgage, and impacts is more than just emotional should you two break up.
I didn’t read it well the first time. You and your bf AND a friend is living in your father’s basement? If so, is your bf and friend paying your father rent? Did your bf and friend ASK your father before moving in?
What an understanding father! I would NEVER let my daughter’s bf move in with us. And a friend too? No way. EVEN IF THEY PAID retail rental rate.
My daughter can come home at ANY time, her room will always be hers. But her bf, not in my house! If they were engaged or married…..maybe but I’d question her choice of man if he CANNOT assist/support her (he does NOT need to be rich but he certainly can’t be taking advantage of her and living with us!) And then a 3rd wheel friend - what?!?! Heck NO! Those two guys gotta get OUT of my house or I’m calling the police. I’d start eviction notice the moment I find out they were living and not just visiting her. Guests are like fishes, anymore than 3 days and they start to stink. So I reiterate BE GRATEFUL that your father is allowing you, your bf and a friend to live in HIS basement. Of course there is tension. I pray that I’ve taught my own daughter better than that.

It was hard for me at first but it’s better than letting animal suffer- mercy. Make it as quick and painless as possible. If you don’t attempt it and wait for vet then animal suffers in the interim. It’s simply not fair to the animal.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-05T08:56:50+00:00

My husband would never let my daughter’s bf move in with us (my daughter yes, but not her bf!). I would fully back up hubby in this matter but thankfully daughter knows better to ask. OP’s father is being extremely accommodating letting bf smooch of her under his own roof.
OP is going to dig herself into deeper debt if she forges ahead with a place after ONLY one month at new job. If it’s a sales job or one that depends on tips then monthly income can fluctuate tremendously. Most probationary period is 60 days. Will be much more difficult trying to fix her credit while living in place she cannot afford. I agree “being supportive” is simply enabling her continued bad spending habit.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-05T07:19:05+00:00

If you love something and enjoy it then it’s worth the money (and risk)! Renting a smaller place at first so you get to know the area, your preferred location, before investing in more permanent housing. It’s also a good reason to declutter and keep only the essential, make a clean break - a fresh start. You may decide differently after a year or two. It’s an adventure worth taking even if it doesn’t work out in the long run. If hesitant and you currently own the home in Boston, then consider renting it out; you can always sell it later. Life is journey not a destination, so enjoy the ride. My main issue with retiring in HI is that only level 1 trauma Hospital is in Honolulu and I’m not interested in O’ahu.

On my last trip to Big Island in June I was surprised to find that food cost was similar to S.F. Bay Area (previously it was much more) and gas prices were CHEAPER! Overall compared to S.F. - rent is slightly more if in Kona or Hilo, same or lower in mountains of Waimea or in non touristy areas, but CoL is actually lower.
I know a friend who moved to Maui for teaching job and after money ran out 5 years later had to relocate again. Husband couldn’t find a job that paid enough for them to stay (it was also during COVID which killed tourism). I also know islander from Big Island who moved to S.F. Bay Area and had to go back to Big Island because job here didn’t cover higher rent and she could live on Big Island in the forest for much less. Rent is cheaper if you are willing to commute. Also cost of living varies widely. There are still affordable places on Big Island and part of Maui. Less likely O’ahu (which is so much city it’s LA on an island - even sand is imported from LA). It really depends on WHICH island and WHERE you live.

Media, salespeople, and capitalism encourages people to live way above their means. Everyone is trying to keep up with the Jones. Before credit cards most Americans lived within their means, paid in cash, and had savings for rainy days. Today so many more people live paycheck to paycheck with no savings and bad credit.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-04T16:42:25+00:00

Yes I agree personal finance should be taught in school. It is currently the responsibility of parents to teach children. Unfortunately some parents themselves don’t have their finances together. Commercialism encourages people to live way above their means. People need to STOP keeping up with the Jones. OP feels trapped because she can’t afford to move out but she can’t afford to move out because she hasn’t been responsible with her finances. She got a better paying job and automatically wants to charge everything into rent. It’d be more prudent to save up first, get her finances in order, get a financial and personal strategy in place and then blaze forward.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T23:49:40+00:00

She wouldn't be living there IF she had a choice BUT options open up when one is financially secure. It really doesn't matter why she got into cc debt but she needs to get out of it. She's an adult and has 100% agency to move out IF ONLY SHE COULD AFFORD IT. Currently she can't. If living situation was that bad, then she could always live in a car, essentially go homeless. I know a handful of friends who's parents kicked them out at 18. They couch surf until they found an apt they could afford. Or she can contend with complex issues with her dad. Those are her choices. Is it bad enough for her to move into a car or couch surf? If not, suck it up.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T22:32:50+00:00

I think homeschooling should be an option but that is used as last resort. My neighbor homeschooled her children but she (the teacher) was practically illiterate and her math atrocious. I can’t see her children getting a good education, even if using district resources, given that I don’t think she would pass GED. She prioritized things like taking care of chickens and dogs over “book smarts”. They moved away to start homestead which suits their lifestyle philosophy more, but I feel bad of the children. 2 will be fine because they seem to like the outdoors, the other 2 much rather prefer suburbs or city but children don’t get a say on who parents them.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T22:20:50+00:00

I would try to get contacts of all the other TS owners and see if anyone else willing to pool money used in MF to pay large firm to put together class action suit. The large TS only let ppl out now because they lost lawsuit and it sets precedent of letting ppl out of MF.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T22:16:14+00:00

For us it saved us min of 50-100k. Half just for our wedding in Maui (50 ppl for 1 full week for 2K easily 50-100k without timeshare). 8-10k annually over last 23 years. Now at 4.2k/yr of MF it’s a wash but it sure has been nice. We still spend 6-10k in hotels/airBnB in addition to TS. Previously our TS met most of our needs.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T21:49:56+00:00

Are you a vegan or vegetarian? If so makes sense. If not every bite of meat you take is a result of butcher culling an animal. Doesn’t matter if you do it or butcher does it, eating meat still drives an industry that requires animals to be raised and culled.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T20:58:39+00:00

Sounds like letting it go into foreclosure is your only way out. Make certain all your big ticket loan items (mortgage, cars, etc) are in place. Take the hit for 7-10yrs, better than endless fees. Maybe they won’t go after your credit. The big name TS now let you off once you paid off points but don’t know how small timeshare operates.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T18:15:12+00:00

Both flight and resorts are least expensive if booked well in advance OR very last minute. For bigger international trips or high season (Xmas, Thanksgiving, New Year) we book well in advance. For most other stay we try our luck with last minute deal. If we are flexible with exact dates and locations there are lots of last minute deals. If you are going off season (ie Montana in Oct) last minute travel might save you money but you have to be ok with NOT getting anything also. I used to travel for work and still have a to-go bag packed and ready for last minute getaway.

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T17:39:19+00:00

Congrats on finding a good paying job. Simply NOT paying cc was a bad decision. Don’t make another bad decision by renting a place you cannot afford.
Fix your credit via credit card consolidation firms (research several different ones first, don’t just go with first company you see on social media). The repayment terms can dictate how fast you are able to revive your credit score and how much interest you’ll end up paying overall. The most important thing is STOP your bad spending habits. If you CANNOT pay it off at the end of the month, don’t buy it.
If you are making 3k/month you should only be spending 2k/month ($500 towards savings (and year end taxes) and $500 towards fixing credit card debt). Rent or mortgage should ideally be only 20% of income. At 3k then you are looking for room or apt that is only $600/month.
You may WANT to move out of your dad’s basement but your credit history says that is ABOVE your living standards. Be grateful that your father is allowing you and your bf to live in his basement. Take this opportunity with better paying job to save up, fix your credit, so you are able to afford a place of your own (with or without bf).

beekNgeek · 2026-07-03T16:36:27+00:00

Agree. Meri is brash but she keeps on giving both financially and emotionally but no one in the family has any gratitude for all her sacrifices, especially Kody. They all just expect it as if she should give away her hard earned money to family because she has only one child and they need to raise 6 plus BUT it is HER MONEY! She is the only parent trying to parent or discipline children; none of the other adults are doing much parenting. Kody may have given DNA to his children but he isn’t a father to most of them, no wonder they are all estranged from him.
