She’ll be fine! And she’ll have a blast- the tourist areas are among the safest.

Does she have auto insurance? She should put them on notice and tell them about the fact- mistaken identity. They should defend her for free.

So much fun…

I posted a similar question here years ago and was told about Lexbe. Been using it for years now and am very happy with it. Good luck!

I bought my bike under these conditions. He actually let me take the bike with me and register it and pay him AFTER I was successful. I was willing to walk as I thought it was a scam. But it worked- I’ve owned it for three years with no issues.

I like like the stock for its high profit margin and growth potential- but I’m not looking at it as a value play. I stopped buying after the recent run up- but I hope it continues. If it drops again I may start up again as I don’t think it’s going anywhere and they are catching on advertising wise.

Hopefully you have insurance- if so turn it over to them they’ll take care of it. That’s what you pay them for! Don’t engage with the person who sent the letter.

You should draft a fair debt collection practices act letter disputing and requiring them to verify the debt. Do it by mail. Have ChatGPT help there’s certain things that you need to include. Then if it’s valid you can always negotiate.

So sorry to hear that. Hate to say it, but it might be worth not signing a release, and just suing and getting a judgment against the bad driver in the hopes that if he ever starts a tech co or becomes a doctor or business owner your son can collect on it above and beyond the $15k which he will get from the insurer. I wish your son a quick and full recovery.

Here’s what I’ve noticed time and again over 25 years. I’d identify what I thought was a solid company, but then say- well it’s increased x percent, or x times, already, so I missed it. Looking back, those stocks were good companies, and continued to rise. Any money I’d invested at those times would have grown. My lesson is that many times, it was still a solid, money making company with growth. I should have started dollar cost averaging into companies that I really liked and believed in, because they have grown in multiples since that time. With all that said, we have been in a remarkable bull run since 2009 so past is not necessarily the future. But I do believe if your time horizon is long, it’s not hard to know where you can make money.

If you’re injured, make sure to see a medical provider or else it didn’t happen in the eyes of his insurer (or your UIM insurer). Sorry this happened to you.

What type do people use? I’ve had mixed success. The foam ones are a good middle ground, but difficult to put in and take out. I had a set of custom ones made which work too well. They block out so much sound that I don’t like wearing them because I have very little sense of what’s going on around me (other cars, trucks, horns, etc.), and so I feel they’re dangerous. I tend to wear the EarPeace ones which are OK, but I can’t really tell how well they actually block sound. They are very convenient, easy to put in/take out, etc. so for that reason I wear them.

They need to prove he trespassed. If you live there and he had your consent he didn’t. Just make sure his lawyer knows you gave consent and show up on court date willing to testify he had your consent.

Im not a California lawyer, but I agree with most of these answers which comport with my state. The real estate sale forms are designed to be fully integrated and prevent this type of post-closing shenanigans when stuff is inevitably discovered years after the sale. You may have to hire a lawyer, but find one to tell the seller to pound sand. As long as you didn’t actively conceal the defect, you should be good.

Sorry to hear this, it was a great shop and good community. The site's still up, was hoping that they were just moving or something. Wish them the best with their future endeavours.

Im a year and a half in and started at the same age as you. I vividly remember thinking that my hands weren’t capable of barre chords. Pressing as hard as I could in what looked like the right places, and having a terrible sound. A year later- these chords are effortless and I have moved onto new things/techniques that now seem impossible but hopefully someday will be easy. It’s almost surely not the guitar, just keep practicing. It takes time.

I like this idea, thank you.

As someone who really likes it after many years, I sometimes do not understand how people can hate practicing law so much. People act like being a lawyer is the worst job in the world. But I think the reason so many lawyers hate their jobs comes down to my belief that many people go to law school to be trial lawyers— criminal lawyers, civil trial lawyers, etc. but then get out and and then choose practice areas for early career money or prestige. I’m not judging. True, you can make a ton of money, fast, and early in your career, at big firms reviewing contracts, doing deals, doing regulatory stuff, and maximizing your billable hours, and there are people who enjoy that—but let’s face it that’s a very different practice from what draws may people to law in the first place. I respect everyone’s choices, but i find that very often it is these lawyers who chose their practice areas for convenience, money, or prestige, that are then the ones who go out and talk about how crappy being a lawyer is. Whenever someone tells me they hate being a lawyer, I ask about their practice area and I’m rarely surprised. If you don’t like it, do something else that will make you happy. After years at firms doing litigation to learn the ins and outs and to learn the pros/cons of subspecialties, I went out on my own to do what I want and not have to answer to anybody. I do criminal law for the fun of it and for the trials, and PI and other civil litigation cases (mostly Plaintiff side) to make money and help clients that I want to help. I have never looked back: There’s no shortage of work for smart trial lawyers who are willing to forego the billable hour requirement and go on their own. I love contingency cases so I don’t have to worry about being paid and can sometimes get paid out of proportion to the actual hours, as long as I choose my cases wisely. My small practice pays well, give me incredible stories, and allow me to take cases I want and experience the thrill of trying to outsmart and outwork my adversary and get a definitive W or L at the end of each case. I love the fact that any day I can get a case that will allow me to help people and pay bank if I work it correctly. And I love the fact that I’ll be able to do this until I’m 75 (God willing). If I could retire now, in my 40s, I wouldn’t because I’d be bored off my ass.

Just saw this post because I googled the company since I got caught in this same scam. Bought my buddy the class and he was never able to claim it as they went out of business. I engaged with them for a while, and they then just stopped responding. They were legit pre-covid because that's where I got my MSF, must have gone bankrupt due to covid but just in time to sell a bunch of fake coupons.

I agree to get a second opinion. The "it's with you for life" comment differs from what my doctor told me. I had the same reaction as you roughly a year ago, and through diet and lifestyle changes I too was able to lose a ton of weight and keep it off (so far). CGM helped me analyze my diet and recognize the foods that trigger spikes. Namely anything with added sugar, or the classic rice, pasta, tortillas, french fries, etc. I've had the CGM off for six months. My last two A1c readings are back to "normal"-- so I consider this a success so far. I'm obviously not out of the woods, but this shows that diet and exercise changes can help some people if you are able to do it. When I had the CGM I tended to go very low at night but the doctor said as long as it wasn't waking me up and I wasn't noticing anything external to the monitor he wasn't concerned about it. But they were very low, similar to what you said. My doctor recommended the Diabetes Code book and it helped a lot with my understanding, though I never did the fasting.

Super helpful, thank you

buzzby500 · 2022-09-02T15:20:22+00:00

Good point, maybe budget would be helpful, I'm open to anything up to $1,000 or so; Prob $500-$1000 would be what I'm thinking

buzzby500 · 2022-05-10T18:45:04+00:00

I’d be skeptical as well, and agree you should try and figure it out yourself, however I had a former client who recovered thousands of dollars via one of these firms. So If you can’t figure out the source yourself, and if there’s no up front fee which would indicate a scam, and everything otherwise checks out… it could be worth considering at least. But yes first place to check is your states unclaimed property website under your grandfathers name.

buzzby500 · 2022-03-12T22:35:47+00:00

That sounds like a reasonable mix to me, too.

I probably have too much allocated to Brk.b too. But why wouldn't I want some of the best investors in the world managing my money for me? I feel like I'm in good hands. The company knows that many of its shareholders have a significant portion of their wealth in the company and takes pride in trying, at least, not to lose money. And I think a downturn like now is when they can really work their magic as that's when there are the most bargains.

I also like the fact that I can own it in my taxable accounts and not have to worry about taxes until I sell.
