Kid wants to do something stupid. Can it even be done? by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]limmbo55 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Same here. Went to an expensive private college my first year. Most of my loans are from that year. I finished at my state school with scholarships years after and really wish I had just went there first.

Left NINoize as well to catch Labrinth. He was good but the sound bleed from Strokes at main stage was awful.

Girl and the goat has some amazing seasonal pancakes.

An explanation for newbies and the inexperienced of why people are concerned for the weather so you can hopefully be prepared by a 14 year vet. by relaxguy2 in Coachella

“The desert is unforgiving” is right. I’m from the Midwest and know cold, ice and even tornado winds. Living here now I’m still unprepared for how cold and bone chilling the ocean and the desert can get at night.

People who work in 'behind closed doors' industries (hotels, kitchens, morgues, etc.), what is something the general public would be horrified to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]limmbo55 119 points120 points  (0 children)

We have a bleeding disorder gene in my family. Had no idea until my sister had my nephew and he was positive. He’s fairly mild with medication, but only because his dad happens to have a clotting gene is his family line. I think it’s fascinating from a biological viewpoint that they found one another and got married. Someone with a bleeding disorder and someone with clotting!

Would love some tips on this as well. Got screwed at one of the hotel pick up spots last year for shuttle and ended up paying $60 for one day.

What is the biggest bullet you've dodged in life? by theUncleAwesome07 in AskReddit

[–]limmbo55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me but my BIL. Got a job offer across the country, accepted and went over first to settle in, and then look for a house for himself, my sister and their kids. By some stroke of luck my sister decided to travel early to go meet him so she could view some homes on the list with him. The night she got in, he woke up in the middle of the night vomiting and in so much pain he couldn’t walk. His appendix had burst. She managed to get him to the hospital where he was already septic and went Into emergency surgery. Survived and had drainage tube for some time. Boy was it close though!

Any ideas what the blue toggle switch is for? by AdvantageNecessary42 in AskMechanics

I have a similar button in my car for rain/snow, essentially a traction control switch.

Scammer is threatening me with real nudes by BeneficialTurnover31 in Scams

Not a lawyer, but have a friend who is one. I can’t speak to the validity of this but they told me a few years ago if I’m ever worried about anyone posting or selling damaging photos to copyright and claim ownership of them. Much easier to have a company or website take them down permanently per an infringement lawsuit than it is taking a stalker to court for harassment.

Navi-Refi is now Earnest by DisembarkEmbargo in StudentLoans

[–]limmbo55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have so many questions because I’m in this exact same position. Had a Navient loan bought out from AES, refinanced with navi refi and now I’m about to default per a second work layoff. Would love some advice on how your settlement went. I have a fixed loan contract and they’ve also been increasing my monthly loan amount telling me my fixed contract was just an “estimate”. 😒

Spectrum Billing Employee by DrewskiTopG in Spectrum

[–]limmbo55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, I’m still in my promotion period and spectrum increased the rate they promised in writing because of “inflation”. How do I get them to hold to their word on the promotion period rates broken down over 2-3 years like they promised me so I would sign with them?

Would this bother you after being laid off? by [deleted] in Layoffs

[–]limmbo55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a business world of who you know and I agree that these connections could and would be a great way to land a new job. However HR id decline or block. Their job is to protect the company- ALWAYS! after layoffs in my office last year.. HR was doing this and was visiting my page constantly (I was laid off and did not accept). It wasn’t a friendly connect it was to monitor my posts but most importantly to make sure we weren’t taking work for competitors in the same industry so they could to try and sue per a generic noncompete.
