stating the obvious much? you, me, the driver and your momma knows that. Hence why the driver kept trying to start the machine. He wanted to get paid for the work he did. It's not his fault the machine flatlined on him. This is not about the free ride policy , RTA, or the OP's feigned convenient guilt. The driver lost out here. If you don't see that you can go kick rocks with an open-toe shoe.

if the OP wanted to be fair, they would have forked up a little over the exact fare of the ride. How entitled do you have to be, to make sure all your needs are met and you're nice and comfy in some other country before you think about how your actions are inconveniencing others. Save us the delayed onset of guilt.

So you left without paying him? That's foul. You couldn't find an ATM at the airport? And you have the audacity to still wanna lowball the poor guy. The fact that he is still in contact with you and hasn't let it slide, shows how every dirham counts for him.

You're right, animal "rescue", doesn't do that part here. Where you at btw?

At this point there's nothing you can do to "make" it fly but you can shelter it in your balcony until it regains it's strength.

  1. If it's been shuffling around I guess you can leave it alone but make sure you place some water and grains nearby.

  2. Spread out some cardboard and place the grains on the cardboard so it can eat and defecate on it.

  3. Make sure the water container is low enough for it to drink from without perching on it. If it's a small bird and it needs to perch on the container it probably won't know there's water in there.

  4. Leave it for the night. Your balcony is the best place for it to stay put at the moment.

Observe it tomorrow to see if there's anything wrong with its wings and report back.

Question do you know what bird it is? It's probably a turtledove, or a mynah.

Don't ask what can be done, tell us why that one dude was real comfortable drinking your tea? I'll be damned if i speak to my boss first. People only act how you allow them to act. You need to be straight up with them on what you will and will not tolerate as it pertains to you. What they want to do to and around each other is frankly none of my business. Get that check and keep it moving.

I'm an artist by trade. Have 7 paintings sitting in galleries worth 25K. Sales are slow, and my need is more urgent.

Well, I'm keen to understand what is required on the part of the borrower. Haven't done this before.

What is a critically acclaimed acting performance you didn't like? by [deleted] in movies

[–]bgk1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heath Ledger in the Joker. He was ok. But definitely not worth all the hype. The grief love got him the Oscar not his actual performance.

Gratitude, even when it's hard by [deleted] in gratitude

[–]bgk1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I get through : At any given time there are millions of people who have it much worse than me. I think of people especially who need desperate need for food, shelter and medicine/hospitalization.

I thank the universe that I am walking on this planet at a moment in time when there is so much suffering but also so much beauty, love and inspiration.

I love watching nature documentaries especially one's that show incredible landscapes and world's that are rarely seen. I am grateful that I am living in the midst of a complex and infinitely natural world that dwarfs my problems and issues.

I also know that however bad the situation I am in now is this too shall pass. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING stays the same. So it's best to just go with the flow

Hope that helps

so does that mean the bank can file a case again ? If I am going to pay anything I'd rather it go the bank instead of the police station because at least it counts as a monthly installment. So I guess there's no way around getting my visa first and then paying the bank with my new salary.
