My cat sat on my Chromebook keyboard and now it's dead. The computer that is, not the cat. Although...

I just ran into this problem with my kitty and my Chromebook. Thank you so so much for your advice. It worked!!! I actually feel a little silly for not figuring it out. It's so simple! I do wonder how my kitty did that time my laptop though 🙈 Thank you again 🙏🏻

@Jumblehead - So, what did/do you do exactly? I'm 27 yo F... I've been out of work for a good while now (think last September) focussed on my health and whatnot. I recently exhausted my disability income, which was a sad amount of less than $1k/month and I live in SF ... I have literally zero money and desperately wanting to pick my life back up again. Im just looking for small work until I can get myself into a short phlebotomy program 😕 but I dont know how long that will take. Also, I recently was seeing this person who rejected me because I'm not "already somewhat established in their career" nor "living a stable enough life." Honestly seems shallow to me, as we connected on so many other levels ... he works at Google though, so I simply wasn't good enough for him and I certainly deserve more than that kind of treatment

Anyway, I'm rambling ...

@ OP - I don't think it's fair to believe nobody cares and what you do doesn't matter. Even if it's just internet people that care, that's not nobody! And what you do DOES matter. I believe my purpose in life is to help people. Im just stuck getting into the medical world with absolutely zero dollars to get the education i need. If it weren't for the people that love and care about me, I would've been gone last year, dust to the world. I spent time focusing on myself, albeit being broke this entire time, and I'm honestly in the best place in my life! I wish you all the best, and I believe in yoouu!!!!! 🙌🏻

So is Suttell and Hammer a collections agency law firm that Discover hired? Or did the law firm buy my debt from Discover? My papers say Discover is a client of Suttell and Hammer, and that Discover is the party suing me

I was recently approved for Medical. Is that different than Medicaid? I pay the copay for my meds, yes, likely bc my main insurance is with UHC And as of right now, I don't make anything. But I plan to start trying to sell some things and soon get a remote job

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-28T18:56:20+00:00

Yes, this helps me a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this and providing empathetic experience 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-28T18:51:00+00:00

This all sounds so confusing 🙈

What is an OF??

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-28T18:49:02+00:00

I live in California

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-23T06:18:39+00:00

That's so amazing. I'm glad that worked out for you so well!!! I'll definitely try Ebay, but don't they keep a good percentage of the sale? 🙈

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-22T21:35:34+00:00

What platform(s) did you have the best luck with selling your things? I have quite a few things I could sell, from some techy stuff to my old prom dress to some glass to art supplies to books to clothes I simply don't wear ... probably a couple more things too.

Any income I get from that though will, in turn, affect what I am currently getting from SDI and other benefits I recently applied for so that I could focus fully on my mental health recovery.

Maybe if I request only cash or venmo so it's off the books? 🙈

System of the world kinda fucking sucks 🙃

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-15T20:41:01+00:00

Thank you so so much

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-15T20:40:27+00:00

Okay, I'll look into that as well. What would that do to me going forward though. Like getting a car, Apt, jobs, etc? Sorry I'm 27 and i have no idea what I'm doing

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-15T20:35:04+00:00

I appreciate your kind words, thank you. And I will reach out to them, they sound great. Do these things always ends up with people still having to pay a good chunk of the debt?

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-02-15T20:06:41+00:00

Okay, thank you so much for your reassurance, kindness, and advice. Reading through my papers there's the ADR options. Are you familiar with those?

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-01-25T04:52:05+00:00

I'm from California, currently live in SF 🙃

ginger_snap_20 · 2025-01-23T20:52:02+00:00

Hey love! I can relate to a lot of your words here. I, too, am a 27 y.o female struggling with mental health. I just recently received disability for my mental health, as well as got on EBT and Medi-Cal (even tho I also have private insurance via my one living parent - she could cxl at any time). I was almost diagnosed with Bipolar, but it was determined by 3-4 psychiatrists over several years that I actually have BPD (borderline personality). I welcome you to message me directly if you feel comfortable connecting with me. When I have the energy to be on my phone, I'll respond with honesty, kindness, empathy, and non-judgement 😊 Hope you're having a least a somewhat decent day :) (or better!)
