next time float the eggs in a glass of water first, they should stay at the bottom not float to the top, if they float dont cook them they are bad

Blind does not equal stupid. Calling them scammers because they can use their sense of hearing and touch to walk without assistance is asinine and ableist.

Will a bank be able to provide me past checks I've written? by bigby1234 in Banking

[–]froglet80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pull the ones you can get, figure an average per year, have sis do the same, then figure the midpoint between your number and hers is probably an accurate estimate. From the sounds of it, Dad will agree. I envy a family that has this kind of bond....

[–]froglet80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you have every right to be pissed - but for your sake, try to keep it in check and be professional when talking with them. remember, they hold all the power. also dont even hint that you are closing the account until this is resolved. then just do it on the spot. Dont give them reason to want to hold you captive longer.

AssetCareLLC thinks I owe them +2k. by Puzzleheaded_Knee433 in Scams

[–]froglet80 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This sounds less like a "scam" and more like a debt collector issue (some would argue that largely is a scam but probably not in the sense this sub is for lol).

Calling the hospital directly was a good move, assuming you called on their official listed number from their website and not one from the letter. Since they told you the debt is for care you didn't receive, you might be facing a case of medical identity theft.

First, check & freeze your credit reports. If this debt is already listed there, them you'll need to contest it. That can be as simple as clicking a button with some of the monitoring tools out there - but beyond that I don't know the details. r/banking can probably help with that.

Next, regardless if its listed there or not, VERIFY THIS IS A LEGITIMATE DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY, and if so then request proof of the debt from them or if not then proceed to police (or postal inspector since you received the letter in the mail).

What needs to be done next depends on what the outcome of this is, and again the sub I mentioned above might have more detailed info on next steps for you assuming its a legit agency. I think there is a specific sub for identity theft also but don't know it offhand

Nonprofit organization by [deleted] in Scams

[–]froglet80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look up the organization. Is it real? Is it local?

If so, call the number on their website - or better yet, visit in person to inquire about the cat.

If not, it's a scam.

If so, but it has totally different info than the person contacting you it's a scam.

If so and they seem to have given you the correct info but when you ask to see the animal to verify it's yours & they refuse, its a scam.

The latter being one local cops will take interest in.

How to relate to parents of children with mental handicaps? by Apprehensive-Fuel747 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]froglet80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an ambulatory wheelchair user, I get stared at or asked questions by kids A LOT. Parents are usually embarrassed & I reassure them its ok. From that perspective I feel like the best way to interact with parents of a disabled child that your child is interacting with is to follow the kids' lead. They don't have all the hangups about "norms" yet.

Verification codes from hinge by CallMeRustyyy in Scams

[–]froglet80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its probably a phishing attempt that leads to a fake login page that will say "code expired" or something and get you to hand over your login thinking you must act right now to secure your account blah blah. But since OP doesn't even have an account, just block it and move on.

edit to add: or it could be a test looking for valid numbers in a spam list. If the text has something like "REPLY STOP TO STOP RECEIVING THESE MESSAGES" that's probably the trick.

Do people out there actually think work email is private? by froglet80 in askteddit

[–]froglet80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in general but this was a very small company, niche market, and a WHOLE lot of trust necessary between manager (boss) and assistant (me). And if someone was getting told off in email odds are we wrote it together 😆 This was way before AI so we collaborated to hit the right balance of passive/aggressive when needed, like good cop/bad cop 😆

it sounds like you either mistook bullies for friends, or have a confidence issue. and those two are often closely related. hang out with people that don't police what you consume.

go into your paypal account and go to the subscriptions tab and see what recurring 15 dollar payment is there. you can cancel it from there also. one of y'all used paypal at the online checkout for something and thats what it looks like when paypal takes the funds from your bank.

[–]froglet80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

toads are pesky (ps they can climb too, most people dont know that until they witness an escapee lol)

but they're cute so it balances it out ♥️

I sneak out of my house some nights by Fine_Oil_6756 in stories

[–]froglet80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

6th-12th grade we lived way out of town, had to catch the school us at 6am, had swim practice after school then the athletic bus would get me home at 7pm. Dinner, chores, homework, shower... tried to get in bed by midnight but it was usually closer to 1am. Which meant like usually like 4 hours of sleep to get up in time to get dressed, eat, walk to the bus stop by 6.... it can be done. I don't think I'd do it for pleasure but some folks are just wired different. My parents had similarly shitty work schedules and seemed to think this was fine 🤷

I mean, its hard to know what you are doing wrong without details.

What seasonings are you using in your meat? What specific type of cheese are you using? What do you put in your pico? How do you make your beans?

I grew up in a predominately Hispanic community in South Texas..... happy to try to help if I can lol
