I think we have a ghost in our house that likes fire?
Interesting story. I wonder where the ashes are going? Try to find them. Look outside, inside, in all the trash cans. If you cant find it, you may have a spirit. Using your list of times and scents, wait around next to a scent until the time comes and see if you can communicate with the spirit. I personally like fire, and anything that has to do with it. I like to blow stuff up (Who doesn't??). I like to make propane rockets, and stuff like that. Maybe with the candles it's possible that the embers were still burning and got re-lit. This is a great possibility. Try cutting off all the wicks when your done and see if a fire starts. Or fill the candle with a little water and leave it.
SSD & SSI Help Please dires need family and Screaming for HELP!!!?
If you have appealed twice and are now seeing a judge, you just need to wait. SSA may not talk to you because you have a layer representing you. If I were you I would look at my contract with Binder and Binder and be sure I owed them no money and fire them. Than contact SSA and say you want to talk to someone about your case and have them explain to you what is going on. Unless your disability is a cognitive disability or makes you stupid, I do not think you need a lawyer to win your case - EVER.
I'm losing my job tomorrow, with two kids, a car and a house. What is my best thing to do?
Tell everyone you know you’re looking for a job. Network on LinkedIn and other social media.File for unemploymentPrioritize your bills - must have (electric), want to have (cable), can be late (credit cards), can ignore/deferred (paying back your brother/student loan). Know when you’re going to run out of money.[Edit] Thanks to everyone who pointed out to call your creditors. They’ll work out slow to delayed payment schedules.Plan for bankruptcy. There’s never a better time.Look into tapping your 401k after being laid off. Yes, it’s a bad idea… but better than homeless.Spend 50 hours a week looking for jobs in your field. Do this locally for a week, then spread out nationally if possible. Look for remote positions if you cannot move. Customize EVERY resume using key words from the job description. Have 40 bullet points and skills/results for your resume - use 25 on any given resume.Looking for a job is NOW your full-time job.After a national search in your field, go outside your field.After savings and unemployment are gone, take ANY job. File for federal assistance.Spend 15 hours a week looking out for yourself. Get to the gym. Start running. Make lunch plans with colleagues and friends. Immerse yourself in a hobby you used to love (after the job search hours are done).Go to parks with the kids. Take your wife out on a date to just watch the stars.Don’t panic or get stressed out. You’ve been without money before. You’ll be fine in a few months.[Edit: I was laid off seven months ago. This is how I prioritized.Your situation may be different. Your retirement may be a higher prioritization. Your credit score may be a bigger deal to you. You may not be able to move to a different part of the country.For me, it worked fine. I had a job offer 7 weeks later. I moved for the new job 10 weeks later about 500 miles north. Grabbing some dollars out of my 401k, that became available after rolling over to a traditional IRA, kept me above water. I probably put my retirement target age back about 6 or 10 months. If I was 58-years-old, it would have bothered me - a lot. But for now, it cost me a 10% IRS penalty and I lost future earnings on what I took out.Thanks for reading]
HELP my neighbour just brought home my 2 year old he had sneaked outside while family was asleep?
Its 11:06 now, we went to bed around 9, I thought he went to sleep. I locked my bedroom door and the door to the outside but he can unlock them he is a smart little guy. He got out and was on the neighbours porch , I have two locks on the door to the outside but I keep the top latch and chain unlocked for my husband so he can get in after work every night. My neighbour just brought home my 2 year old and said he was on her porch. He has never done this before. I never woke up because I haven't had a lot of sleep in 3 days and he sneaks out all the time even though i keep my doors locked, and I usually wake up and catch him before he does anything like this. I don't know what to do, and I'm scared they are going to call the police and report me even though I did the best i could to make everything secure and safe I am afraid my little boy will be taken away from me. The other neighbours saw it all. It was a giant spectacle. I've cried because we live right by the road he could have been
Have you ever lost something precious?
I'm sure I've lost many things that, at the time, meant a lot to me. The one thing that always stands out is a ring my dad made for my mom one year - it was made of nickle material, and there was a heart at the center with curved lines on either side. Mom gave it to me when I was 16. One day, in my car in the winter, I took off my jewelry to put some lotion on. Never saw the ring again - I tore the car apart, I searched around the car. It just vanished. The fact that my dad made it is what was special to me. Did you ever lose anything precious to you?
There's a fire in your house. What do you grab? Why?
As much as I would like to say i’d grab my family and pets first, I don't think it would be the smartest move in my case. Hang with me, please…My room is in the basement. I’m the only person in the basement 97% of the time. So on a normal evening I’m fiddling around downstairs and the rest of the fam is on the main level doing their own thing in their rooms.*FIRE*First thing I grab, is my wallet because ID, SSN, Debit/Credit cards will probably become really important over the next few weeks since we will have to piece our lives back together (assuming that there is no way to stop the house from burning down). Next would be the car keys. Then the phone. Both because of the same reason I grabbed my wallet. (Funny thing, before I leave the house for anything I always recite “phone-wallet-keys” to myself. I would just be following my routine in a panic)*gets upstairs to main level*Next, i’d make the older of my 2 sisters aware of the situation. A harsh bang on her door. Tell her to get our mother aware and to wait across the street. After that, I collect the younger of our two sisters. I can just pick her up, put her on the front porch, and tell her to go across the street with the older sister. By this time, our mom should be in the swing of things and went through the same “phone-wallet-keys” routine. We then double team ushering the pets out of the house. We trust the cat to make it out on her own because she’s super flighty anyway, but the dog will probably need to be forced out because his judgement skills aren't the best to begin with.I know… the grade school fire safety training says to get all living beings away from the fire immediately. It would be dumb of me to double back for anything material after the family and pets are outside. So i’d rather grab the most essential materials in the early stages of the fire to eliminate the return trip or the hindsight where i’d go “man, 60 bucks would allow us to collect our thoughts in a motel room right now” and thoughts of that sort. Just being realistic about what would actually happen.
Found hairs in my bathroom that don't belong to anyone living here! Does that mean my husband is cheating?
Well, they sure came from somewhere! I think I'd ask him if he knows anyone with long black hair. See what his reaction to it is. I feel by his reactions & his body language will be enuf to tell you something. If he asks you why, just say you were curious. IF he is seeing someone, don't give him reason to ck. everything after she leaves. Just keep your eyes open & you'll know soon enuf if you find more. Then I would ask him again but this time let him know why you are asking him. You'll get the truth one way or another I'm sure...the best to you...:)
