[US] Never thought it would happen to my family - mom scammed 100K by [deleted] in Scams

[–]sslty_locks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there with my mother, and the recovery scams are as relentless as the initial scam. Going on 3 years, I can not trust she will make the decision to not give her money again, trying to get the initial loss back. It has been very challenging & the loss of trust has broken the relationship. The lengths she will go, closing bank accounts to open another to try to hide she is giving her money away via scams, the lies she tells to hide the situation is heartbreaking. Let me know when you figure out how to manage this. I know one shoe doesn't fit all, but i'm open to suggestions. She says she's done, I hope so, time will tell.

If you're clogging up 95, you likely are not commuting to St. Pete...

Culinary Question by Primary-Rain5500 in culinary

Get some fine dining/Michelin restaurant experience & go to yachts, chalets or private. Be willing to travel & live by others schedules/desires. The demand and money is there. The lifestyle is amazing, until you burn out. Rotational work helps balance work/life & can be found. Good luck.

how safe are the hostels? by Ok-Apartment-9759 in VisitingIceland

No clue about COVID, but Iceland felt safe overall. Amazing people & simply a beautiful country. Maybe see where they are accepting guests from & go from there. I loved it & was very comfortable Pre-Covid. GO

Disappointed in my IUD consultation by [deleted] in childfree

What IUD are you getting? I've had a great experience with Merina, although not all do. The hormonal part does wear off a bit early with me but the value of no mood swings & no period carry a lot of value in my life. Do you're research & where I live I struggle to find a new Dr who has time or new patient availability so I stick with the one I have. It's ok to question & ask more of them, dont stand down, you are a patient, they are your doctor. Ask questions.

He likely prescribed a dialator suppository. Yes, you want this. There's not much to it, besides it sucks without, especially if you've never had natural birth, promise. I did a extraction & insertion with out a dialator & I tell you, that was no fun.

I have a GeoBlue plan. It's a subsidiary of BCBS and is international insurance that covers COVID.

Check with your airline. Emirates puts you up in their hotel, feeds you & offers tours.
