Scared straight.

My grandfather wrote a long report on coffee in 5th grade (~1910), concluding "I don't see why anyone would drink coffee." He stuck with unsweetened hot cocoa and lived into his 90s. His immigrant parents were Scandinavians teetotalers. By the way, coumarin in the diet might be a good thing...

So what. Seriously. Everyone has pointed out that you could hire someone else, and you have ignored those posts. So, is this a public defender or something?

Thank you for sharing. As was previously mentioned in post #6, this isn't Yelp. Good luck in your recovery. Realize that it will take a long time to prove to others that you have truly changed and replace their old negative impressions with a new positive ones.

My initial reaction, without reading, was "Dude, quit the meth." My legal device: get into rehab and stop using drugs. You are in denial. You do not realize how your addiction and drug use is obvious. ALL of your problems stem from your addiction. Therefore the first step in "unravelling"...

What does you lease sat on the subject?

I think if the driver focused on the safety aspect - not being able to provide a seatbelt to accommodate her girth - that might be a less problematic argument. She might feel that her stomach is a built in cushion, but I would not want to chance the potential liability in an accident of...

Well, at least she won't have worry about rent in the future.

No. I can honestly say that I only have experience with a slow divorce in NY. While it is possible to get a divorce finalized in only months in NY, that's usually only if it's uncontested. Unfortunately, you only have to disagree on one thing for it to be uncontested. "Pretty much have...

Assuming you consulted a lawyer in setting up this trust, that law firm might be a good place to start. None of us know the nature of this trust. You have 2 issues: 1) the civil actions related to your business and 2) your trust. I think you should consider consulting lawyers that are...

Observation: the biggest $ mistake many couples make in a divorce is insisting on not selling the house. Your deadbeat bro and his deadbeat STBX need a reality check: either they get themselves up to date on the mortgage payments like real adults, or the house gets sold and they get housing...

The doctor's staff provided wrong/incomplete information. Contact the doctor's office and ask if they have remedied this. They probably are working on this already, since they want to be paid.

No legal advice, but I have had luck with yoga nidra (sleep yoga). Focusing on the guided meditation helps distract you from dwelling on anxious thoughts. There are also late night radio shows that some find helpful.

And even at that, the "fates worse than death", some of them legal, that might have been possible.

Is it this brother: I need help! 1) You have no dog in this fight. Your brother's gf is the person who should be posting. Who knows what sort of agreement (if any) that she signed with the hotel. 2) Advice for you: focus on yourself. You have a big heart, but you also have your own life...

I concur with AJ about getting them a lawyer. How much contact do you and your siblings have with your parents? How often do you talk to them on the phone, email, or visit with them? In other words, do you really have enough contact to make an accurate assessment of their circumstances? I...

By the time my divorce went to trial for cause I thought maybe it should be considered cruel and inhumane treatment of the judge for having to deal with our case. LOL.

Perhaps you could suggest that the woman create her own account. I've not heard, legally, of a "cruel divorce". It does sound like it's a "contested divorce". And informally, it does sound high conflict. You are an outsider. Outsiders, no matter how well meaning, DON'T have the full story...

Well, if you are saving the boxes to reuse as boxes, you do so in a sheltered area away from the elements. If you are recycling or upcycling in your garden, the cartons are broken down flat. Cardboard that you intend to recycle should not be left out exposed to the elements. Have you made...
