u/cturtl808

I agree and confirm that I have created this pre-arranged loan with u/Logistix1 for the amount specified above.

This is absolutely fucking disgusting.

There is no other explanation.

This is beyond hating women.

To this, Legal Aid attorneys and workers are picketing live in NYC right now.

Rightfully so.

Why do people not collectively see these as camps?

Additionally, they often get reduced on capacity but there’s a small ripple versus out loud rage over these even happening.

In Surprise, Arizona, residents got upset at the City Council because their children would have to walk by it on the way to school and could potentially hear something bad.

So you’re a NIMBY that doesn’t mind them being built, you just don’t want it in your neighborhood. Got it, you fucking fascist.

Man, I can't help but feel like they're going to eventually come for all of us so the population dwindles to what it was in the 1860s.

It's irrational to think that way right?

Because I have no idea what they're going to do with this information other than extremely nefarious things. Why would you need it otherwise?

Background: My Mom and I do not see our "relationship" the same way. My Mom sided with my childhood abuser. She's consistently used me as a verbal punching bag. She constantly punches down on me. She's pretty furious that I refuse to take her advice on my current slow burn relationship.

Fast forward to today: Mom has been out of work for several years. Multiple work place injuries (2 in 2 years) have left her under medical treatment and she's also subject to ageism when applying for jobs (she's 79 today).

She's absolute struggling financially. She's had to take out 35k in house loans/mortgaging to resolve some serious plumbing and house renovations as the result of the plumbing issue. With her out of work, she can no longer pay the bills. Additionally, the company that funded the initial amount as part of a homeowner's warranty has reviewed the loan and determined the loan should not have been approved and is suing her in court.

She's had to borrow $50 from me to pay her electric bill.

She's on food boxes for groceries.

She receives social security but it's obviously not enough to cover enough.

She's way overextended and it appears she's been living off credit.

Earlier this week, she blew up at me about what's going on.

My brother lives with her and his wife has decided, after 32 years of marriage and 2.5 year separation, that she wants a divorce.

My mother is furious my sister-in-law won't contact her about things like a car where she's listed on the registration because my Mom needs her off the registration so she can a registration loan on THAT car (she has one on hers already).

Additionally, my sister-in-law filed a restraining order against my brother. Her evidence of imminent danger/potential violence was so strong, her address was protected by the Court.

Furthering it, he lost HIS income this week so there's legitimately no income coming in.

She has called me to learn how to pawn things only to have me have to tell her that nothing she owns can be pawned.

The mortgage company has been clear that if she didn't pay by X date, they would start foreclosure proceedings on the house she's lived in since 1969.

She does not have a place to go. She's indicated she wants to be roommates. Not only does she NOT respect boundaries, but I will lose the privacy of my time with a developing romance that I would really like to see go further. My ex-fiancee and I wound up falling apart as we were living with her to take over the house from her. He and I broke up. He and I both moved out. He told me later that she just bad-mouthed me to him all the time.

I am considering blocking her at this time because I just can't deal with her crazy. She's unmedicated bipolar and she's in crisis right now. I just take days to recover from interactions with her.

I can't help her financially and I genuinely don't want my role to be a verbal punching bag.

To me, this is an abusive relationship and I called it that to someone this week.

I guess I need confirmation that blocking her is the best course of action right now. Maybe some advice if I don't?

ETA: I appreciate all of the strong women in this sub who helped me find my own inner strength today to block her. It’s been done. I thank you all for the additional support and encouragement to freeze my credit, seek a special therapist to work on the grief/loss to process the action, and just genuinely letting me know that my thoughts and feelings weren’t wrong.

I haven't ever posted about bad drivers because they exist everywhere but this one literally has me shaking my head.

On Brown, heading towards Mesa Dr. It's a two lane road. As we're driving westbound, you can see a tow truck with trailer perpendicular to the road and fully blocking the far right lane.

Me and everyone behind me moved to the left lane. However, this white Nissan Rogue continued to drive forward towards the truck and, as I passed them, they threw up the hands in disgust. I only know because I checked they were ok.

Like the big truck wasn't moving and had hazards on with active cargo. Did you really think they were going to move in the short time it to you to get there?

Are the snowbirds still here?

Hi, I recently posted about the sexy first kiss.

Today, things progressed. But slowly. There weren't any time constraints, neither of us had any obligations except to be present for one another.

And we were.

It's left my head a little fuzzy.

I'm also wondering why what's slowly becoming a decent relationship has to happen as the world is on fire. Balance, I suppose.

Just needed a safe place to discuss some joy today. Thanks for being here, ladies.
