City of milwaukee water bill pay

This is out of my own curiosity and I'd love to get a drag law related Q/A thread going.
My questions but feel free to ask your own:

1. How are the lip sync song licenses structured? Do they have to negotiate for each song with record labels or does something like the song-writers guild have set rates where they can pay and play? Like does Beyonce's 'single ladies' cost a lot more than Crystal Water's '100% Pure' to license? Is it a one time fee or is it yearly?
2. Are drag names subject to trademark law? If so, what are the limits/caveats? Like is Trixie Mattel in the clear because she's basically a parody of a Barbie Doll? And Jan Sport changed her name to Jan Sport to avoid legal issues. Is this different or does Mattel not care as much?

I am the beneficiary of a trust and my wife of 45 years has medical bills that I would like the trust to pay under HEMS. The trustee says he will only pay for my medical bills and will only pay my medical bills if I show need. I’ve never requested any other HEMS distributions. I am the sole provider as far as income goes. The trust dies not exclude spouses specifically and only states money should be distributed according to HEMS standards. The trustee is very young and this is the first and only trust he is the trustee of. He seems to be very tight with the money in all circumstances according to other beneficiaries. Trust Info, Trustee Info: The main trust has been split between 3 trusts. The trustee refuses to give us proper accounting, records of tangible good distributions, and he still holds in to some family heirlooms he’s promised to distribute for 5 years now. We hired an attorney to get the above from him but he ignores her and it costs us money to keep asking. Thank you! M
Thank you.

Enk(Ea)i- twin Serpent , the creator of mankind was the Genius-Scientist who tries twice to create a civilized man, until Ninmah tells him that they must add their likeness. Thus creating the perfect Man. It is when he put speech in their mouths that Enlil is enraged claiming they make too much noise,as you'll see this was the 1st cataclysm.Enki is the protector and teacher of mankind. He is essentially a god of civilization, and it was natural that he was also looked upon as the creator of man, and of the world in general. Enki Teachings
SacredTexts After his involvement with the original genetic experiment, his compassion for the plight of the Homo sapien (Man the Wise) his role shifted his role from genetic engineer to that of a freedom fighter. Because of the Romans(Enlils offspring) ancient text were edited, altered ,the Garden of Eden describes Enki & Ninti creating humanity at Ea’s headquarters. The House of the God of Water,Wisdom, fertility, known as the Great Serpent, the Garden was his 'den'. Naturally, humanity Would be born in Ea-Den. You will see from the text cited here, that it was Enki who created & then immediately fell in love with his creation. He earned & embraced the nickname of "Trickster', because being the wisest he tricked the other "Authorities"(Elohim- or Council of Rulers) for humanity’s sake.
"The bodies of Adam and Eve were overlaid with a horny skin that was as bright as daylight, like a luminescent garment".
In Ancient India this is also the description given of the Serpent people, benefactors & genetic engineers of humanity. (Bioluminescent i.e. they spontaneously emit light due to a chemical reaction in their body. This would explain the so-called “jewels of the Naga” that illuminates the netherworld. Bioluminescence is found in many deep sea fishes and other marine organisms like jellyfish, algae, bacteria etc., who emit light from their bodies that make the seas glow and glitter. This occurs due to the presence of a light-emitting molecule called luciferin, which produces light when it reacts with oxygen. Many organisms also produce the catalyst luciferase,
In both Sumer & the Jewish text we see the key role of the woman, who did nothing wrong, quite the contrary it is she who breathes the soul or psyche into man. Bit Shimti - "House where the wind of life is breathed in" - Ninmah is the proud mother the "essence" of the blood of a young Anunnaki male was mixed with the egg of a female hominid. The fertilized egg was then inserted into the womb of a female Anunnaki. When, after a tense waiting period, a "Model Man" was born, Ninmah held the newborn baby up and shouted: "I have created! My hands have made it!"[
Enki boasted, “A Civilized man I have brought forth. A new kind of Earthling from my seed has been created, in my image and after my likeness. From seed they from food will grow, from ewes sheep they will shepherd. For Gods, and offspring henceforth shall be satiated.“
In Genesis, it is understood that the Serpent speaks,and was of equal footing wth "God". We saw in the Nag Hammadi, and other ancient texts from around the world. He was also most notable, because he stood on 2 feet like man, and was even taller. The Sumerian term Annun-Aki meant 'tall ones', the height of the Serpent was equal to that of a camel. Chap 3 of Genesis the argument is given that man can't be one of US. He must not be allowed to eat from the tree & live forever". Even here you see they're brothers.
"Enki, the Lord of abundance, of trustworthy commands, The Lord of wisdom, who understands the land, The leader of the gods, Endowed with wisdom, the Lord of Eridu"...
It has always been Enli, the archons who aim to "destroy mankind in his psychological function". Later, it's Enlil who tries to force the other Authorities to keep the secret from mankind.
"Come, all of us, and take an oath regarding the killing Flood!" But as all the others took the oath, Enki resisted firmly. "I refuse. Why will you bind me with an oath?" he asked, "Am I to raise my hand against my own humans?" Meanwhile, our father Enki understands the importance of love and kindness to the raising of consciousness, he acts with kindness in defending humanity and dealing with all the life on the planet.
Ninmah The Ninhursag , an mother of humanity is shown with humanity at her breast.The priesthood of Sumer & Egypt were Dolichocephalic, like mother. the Serpent Cults today still maintains the pure bloodlines that were mandated after the deluge.)
She was the goddess of the stony, rocky ground, the hursag. The H symbol, i described at all the sacred "navel' sites, especially Göbekli Tepe, Puma Punku, has the same meaning. The serpent always represents spiritual wisdom, life and healing. The first symbols of serpents were attributed to Enki or NU.DIM.MUD (Nudimmud), "He Who Fashions Thing and then Ninhursag.("Whose House Is Water") . Nag hammadi-Origin of our World
The text describes Ninti 'let fall a droplet of light, it flowed onto the water, and immediately a human being appeared, being androgynous. That droplet she molded first as a female body. Afterwards, using the body she molded it in the likeness of the mother, which had appeared. This was Eve of Life namely, the female instructor of life. Her offspring is the creature that is lord. Afterwards, the authorities called it "Beast", so that it might lead astray their modelled creatures. (The interpretation of "the beast" is "the instructor". For it was found to be the wisest of all beings.)"
"Then each of them cast his sperm into the midst of the navel of the earth fashioned man with his body resembling their body.His modelling took place by parts, one at a time. And their leader fashioned the brain and the nervous system. Afterwards, he appeared as prior to him. He became a soul-endowed man"
"when the Authorities (Yahweh) had saw Adam/Eve transgressed their rule it came upon them an earthquake and a great threat, to see the result of the help that was give. Their eyes were blinded by him so they were not able to do anything to him. They merely cursed him, since they were powerless. And everything that they created they cursed. There is no blessing from them. Good cannot come from evil."
"Since that day the authorities knew that truly there was something stronger than they. They would not have known except that their commandment was broken. They brought a great envy into the world only because of the immortal human."
Enki possessed the secret of me, 'culture, civilization', which is the genius of progress in knowledge to lead humanity. He invented civilization for the people and assigned to each his destiny. He created order in the cosmos. He filled the rivers with fish. He invented the plough and the yoke so that farmers could till the earth with oxen. In the most recent thread you see each ruler from Egypt to Pharoah carries the plough, the Serpent Priest would assist the Pharoah who was in charge of a successful harvest. "Master Servant " was the Pharoah
"Enki made the grain grow. He is the father of all plants.” Of course he wanted his children to eat from the Tree of knowledge, With the Tree of Knowledge humans had the chance to figure out everything on their own in time, to be as equal or better than him, as any parent wants for there child. . Had they eaten only from the Tree of Life, they would live but not have been more the wiser.
Why should acquiring knowledge be a sin?" (the original sin) and comparing it to modern day observations ought to wake you up to the fact that you live within societal system that was engineered by the members of "God" to empower themselves while keeping those who live within it ignorant
The sacred waters of knowledge had a double meaning, it represents both the creationof the human body(mostly water) & it is talking about the water carried by the Sages in places like La Mana, Ecuador. This water has amazing healing properties, it is apart of ritual today in the Llanganates for visiting initiates. Indigenous elders working with the scientific community have had fascinating results. Electrum Water Hiv nanoparticles Silver "he interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules and microorganisms is an expanding field of research. Wis. In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with HIV-1, with nanoparticles exclusively in the range of 1-10nm attached to the virus"
The Dogon call our Master Teachers, The Monitors, Nummo also meanw 'to make one drink'(water of wisdom). The Hebrews termed these Watchers as nun resh’ayin, meaning “those who watch.” In the Greek this is translated as gigantes or giants, a race that even the 907 B.C. writer Hesiod featured as being monstrous (due to their serpentine aspect no doubt). Now we can understand the role of the giants 2 seen across the world of ancient script in respect to the presence of the Watchers.
The Apkallu, these priest of Enki i wrote about in the last thread, the genetic, archaeologicalevidence has shown R1b-V88 & R1b-M269 were associated with agriculture, cattle domestication, metal working, language, geopolymer construction, everywhere a Pyramid or Navel was Built the Mende/Yoruba & the Austro-Melanesian Pacific Islander Ghost Hominids dna dna is found. The Aunu/Anu people migrated across the globe. Göbekli Tepe The human ummânū is attested in the Uruk List of Kings and Sages, while other references to bird-apkallū are legion
The purādu-fish apkallū is principally attested in Berossus.These seven were each advisers for seven different kings and therefore result in two different lists, one of kings and one of apkallu. Neither the sages nor the kings in these lists were genealogically related however. Apkallu and human beings were presumably capable of conjugal relationships since after the flood, the myth states that four apkallu appeared. These were part human and part Apkallu, and included Nungalpirriggaldim, Pirriggalnungal, Pirriggalabsu, and Lu-nana who were only two-thirds ApkalluKundalini is the spiritual energy or life force present in every human being, located at the base of the spine.
They were believed to have apotropaic qualities, guarding the home from evil.Sages FigurinesThe three types of apkallū are portrayed, with the human ummânū at far left, the Nisroc bird-apkallū type in the middle, and the antediluvian purādu-fish type at far right.3 Apkallu
Remember that it was the woman who was Pharoah, her consort became king. Egypt, like most of the most sophisticated ancient civilizations were ruled by women. Ninhursags the Goddess of the stony, rocky ground that masons use to spiritually ascend higher, the H at Göbekli Tepe & Puma Punku represents mother. 'As above(ninmah), So below(Enki)'. The underworld was never a negative place before the Romans. The Pyramid, the Great house was the Woman's house. Sumerian text speak of the foundation being the stone & the water just as the Pyramid text of Saqqara. The Sumerian E.KUR - "House Which is Like a Mountain." Pyramid was put under the patronage of Ninharsag.in hymns shes recognized as mistress of the "House With a Pointed Peak" - a pyramid. CoffinText 313:Horus says "I created my Eye in flame, I made my Eye a living serpent". Remember, the serpent he saw was bipedal, always. As Robert Monroe reported in the Gateway Experiments.
"House bright and dark of Heaven and Earth, for the rocketships put together; E.KUR, House of the Gods with pointed peak; For Heaven-to-Earth it is greatly equipped. House whose interior glows with a reddish Light of Heaven, a beam of energy of creation which reaches far and wide; Its awesomeness touches the flesh. Awesome ziggurat, lofty mountain of mountains - Thy creation is great and lofty, men cannot understand it"
'House of Equipment, lofty house of Eternity: Its foundation are stones [which reach] the water; Its great circumference is set in the clay. House whose parts are skilfully woven together; House, the rightness of whose howling The Great-Ones-Who-See-and-Orbit brings down the rest . . . Mountain by which Utu ascends. [House] whose deep insides men cannot penetrate . . . Anu has magnified it.
In the Testament of Amram 2 men who resembling Living Serpents were seen fighting over him in his dream-vision. Even in ancient Text later we see "battles of the Gods', but in the very beginning We see the genius, Enki described as a kind, amicable child ONLY gets aggressive when his brother comes to harm his creation. Most importantly, Enlil & his realized he was powerless when Humanity had Enki by their side. So, his campaign was to disconnect us from that knowledge starting with the Bible & the Inquisition, they killed,raped, burned all of the knowledge that had allowed mankind to thrive.. then stashes the rest away, keeping it from the people. Dagon Catholicism
-In Egypt Ptah as Ea/Enki (Sumer he's also a cthonic diety "The Artful Creator") and Ra as his Firstborn son.
After Anu, Enlil, Enki and Ninmah had fashioned the black-headed people, Vegetation that is fruitful they multiplied in the land... In the Edin they placed them..
The descendants of Ham ("He Who is Hot" and also "The Dark-Hued One").... correspond to the African nation-lands of Nubia, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Lybia as the core nations of African resettlement, again beginning with the topographically higher areas..They were the Dogon, Hopis ancestors.. The ancient Chinese or Bak tribesmen which dominate China today called the Elamites KASHTI. Moreover, in the Bible the Book of Jeremiah (xlxx,35), we read "bow of Elam". It is interesting to note that both Khaltam-ti and Kashti as the name for Elam, agrees with Ta-Seti, the ancient name for Nubia located in the Meroitic Sudan. Sumerians Had Dolichocephalic skulls Genetic Evidence for convergent evolution SE AsianElamites-Mandig](http://olmec98.net/ElamPersians.png) Semitic speakers of Akkad and the non-Semitic speakers of Sumer were both sag-gig-ga or "blackheads".Elamite language, is closely related to the African languages including Egyptian and the Dravidian languages of India. Alchemy as Taught by Children of Enki
Antediluvian Kings of Sumer were known as Kings of Kush".the major Kushite tribe in Central Asia was called Kushana. The Kushan of China were styled Ta Yueh-ti or "the Great Lunar Race". Along the Salt Swamp, there was a state called Ku-Shih of Tibet. The city of K-san, was situated in the direction of Kushan, which was located in the Western part of the Gansu Province of China.
Here we find the divine decrees presented by Enki to Inanna are those referring to lordship, godship, the exalted and enduring crown, the throne of kingship, the exalted scepter, the exalted shrine, shepherdship, kingship, the numerous priestly offices, truth, descent into the nether world and ascent from it, the music From the tree in the Mesopotamian depiction hang two pieces of fruit. To the right of the tree is the half-moon symbol of Ea; to the left is the planet symbol of Anu.
Lastly the pineal gland(pine cone). In India it is a stick of bamboo with seven knots… which represents the spinal column with its seven centers or chakras… It also indicated the spinal cord…while the serpents were symbolical of the two channels called in Eastern terminology Ida and Pinagala; and the fire enclosed within it was the serpent-fire which in Sanskrit is called kundalini." Even the natural behaviors of the pine cone have an esoteric meaning:
"as it ripens, the pine cone slowly opens to release its mature seeds."
This process is symbolic of the expansion of consciousness that accompanies the opening of the pineal gland and the awakening of the Third Eye. The metaphor is a valuable and stimulating mental lesson of an esoteric phenomenon that cannot otherwise be seen or explained since it occurs inside the brain..
The One sure way, and what's been happening wthin the last century especially is to keep knowledge away from the human race. If we as a collective are so ingrained in our beliefs, how can we ever be open to new ideas pertaining to the nature of reality?

In so sick of 100-dollar bills!! I swear I had 7 people try to pay with 100’s in 1 hour, luckily my manager made a sign, it's just ridiculous, then they get all hissy because I tell them no, well Barbra maybe don't spend 5 dollars and expect me to break a 100!
end rant 😂

I (19f) have been friends with this person (will call her ally) (19f)for 4 years and I have considered her one of my closest friends however when I got admitted into a psychiatric facility about a year ago I noticed our relationship changed. Alli only really spoke to me when I was willing to go to go out drinking.
Since my admission I have worked hard to turn my life around, I got an apprenticeship got into a relationship and started to take care of myself a lot more. During my healing stage I did not think it was right for me to drink a lot as this was a coping mechanism of mine during my darkest days. Safe to say alli and I grew apart during this time however we still spoke regularly. I started to feel guilty blowing her off so we started going out again however this was still not a regular occurrence as clubs still get overwhelming at times.
As allis birthday was approaching.her, I and some of her friends were all going to go out. I didn’t know any of these people barring her and one other girl however this did not bother me. We all decided to go out close to allis uni and then the 3 of us (alli me and the other girl)were going to share a taxi home as it would come to about £90/£30 each. The night itself would have been quite expensive due to the area we were in and wanting to go from club to club however it was allis birthday so I didn’t mind splurging (within reason). The other girl could not attend due to work so I assumed alli and I where going to split the taxi 2 ways.
Anyway around a week before I tried confirming with ally what time to book the taxi for and asked for half the money to be sent to my account so I could pay for it however ally said that she was staying at a boys house and that I would have to sort transport home, apparently this was her plan all along however she was not going to tell me. I obviously said I could not do that as my travel alone now went from £30 to £90 plus expenses while I’m there this would take close to my monthly income after bills so I would have to dip into my savings to get by. Ally suggested I could stay in her friends shared accommodation however as I didn’t know these people and I would be drinking pretty heavily I did not feel comfortable if ally was not going to be there with me.
I decided that I was not willing to put my safety at risk or cause a significant burden on myself financially. As well as not wanting to ruin allis night by being on a budget having to leave early, not move on to a new club or buy her drinks , I suggest that I would make it up to her the following week by going out more locally so it fit my price range. Ally became very blunt after this and eventually stopped responding.
I have tried to contact her since to rearrange however I am met with the same response “I can’t this weekend” and we have kept fizzling out ever since.
Am I really that much of an asshole?

3 am last night I'm chilling on my computer, after another day of work. I just finished working out showering and eating dinner than I get a call from my landlord and he says there is water leaking from my apartment down to the one below me and wants to know why. So I get up and the bathroom is inches deep with water, because apparently my brothers girlfriend's cat pearched it's self on the bidet button to drink water out of the toilet and it was spraying water out of the toilet for God knows how long. Because they are too lazy to put out a fucking water bowl for their fucking pets (my brother also has a dog and we share an apartment together and split rent). So then the guy below us comes up and I tell him what happened. By then my brother woke up and I start helping him clean it up without being asked or getting mad, because I try to be a decent person. Then I go to bed and when I wake up he's taking a shower so I have to wait 15 min for him to finish so I can drop the kids off at the pool. So I was in there for about 5 min and then he starts banging on door and yelling at me to hurry up. I finish in a couple min and as I walk out he says "god I'm so tired of living with you". Like wtf? I fucking help you clean up your mess from your dumb animals and I pay half the rent and I'm some how the bad guy for using the bathroom for 7 mins? Like fuck off, he's always making me feel like shit about myself and whenever I tell him he acts like the things he says shouldn't bother me and I should stop acting like a woman, he is such an asshole. So then I don't talk to him for the next couple of hours and I take a shower and head to work at the great Waffle House and of course 1st shift was fucking slacking and there is no soft butter, just solid bricks, trash cans have no bags in them, grease traps haven't been dumped and only one container of grits made. Then 1st shift is leaving and one of them asks "how's it going" and I naturally respond "I'm doing alright" . Because no actually wants to hear if your pissed off or depressed. Do guys ever answer honestly? I'm so fucking tempted to just get a new apartment 1 bedroom, though it would be hard to afford with my shitty pay, it might be worth though so I can live alone in peace.

I'm 28F and still live at my family home. Pre-Pandemic in early 2020, I was looking for a place of my own, after saving up for 6 years and finally having enough for a deposit. Now, thanks to COVID, Brexit, Cost of Living crisis, soaring House Prices in my area, rising Inflation, Bills and Interest on Mortgages, plus just being a down-hard Millennial, I currently can't afford ANYTHING on my salary and my savings. I went from looking at 2 bed flats and houses for sale, to not being able to rent a tiny 2/3 room flat. As I have joked with some friends, I can't even afford to buy a small bit of land to pitch a tent on. Even though I continued to save and nearly doubled what I had (thanks to that soaring interest on Saving Accounts), nothing is available to me anymore.
Being single and having no romantic attraction to anyone in the past 7 years has impacted me so hard, especially as most things are angled to couples. I can't move in with friends, as they are all partnered up and/or have families, plus I don't want to be a burden. Unless I want a pay cut to start fresh or get a side job and overwork myself with multiple jobs to near death, I can't get another job that will give me a better salary and career than I have at the moment. So, I'm stuck. I do love my family and I'm grateful that they will let me continue to stay here at the only home I know, while I try to get to the next step. However, I'm the only Asexual I know in real life, so I feel like I have no one to relate to or speak to about it. While I have accepted and embraced being this type of queer in most aspects, I do not like this downside of not being able to progress in life like most people.
Is anyone else currently in a similar situation? Because at the moment, I feel with every step forward, I get beaten back 5 steps.

Yesterday I had two Chinese women sign up for a surf lesson. During the check-in process, I asked if they could swim/tread water. They said they weren't the strongest swimmers, but that they could hold their head above water. Perfect, that's all we need them to do.
I get the boards ready, and they ask if they can have life jackets. I tell them "No, if you need a life jacket you don't get to surf. Are you comfortable going out in deeper water, can you swim?" Again they said they could swim. I should have questioned them more, but I figured maybe surfing with life jackets is a thing in China and they just had certain expectations.
I take them to a very gentle reef break, maybe 40 ft from shore. The normal surf spot we take people is wayyy further out in the ocean, but I didn't trust these two to start out there. In retrospect - good thing I made that call.
I push them on a few gentle waves, they try to stand up but don't make it very far. After every wave, they carefully lay back down on the board instead of jumping off into the water.
Finally, one of them manages to stand all the way up on her surfboard! I give a congratulatory cheer, and watch as she falls backwards into the water. Her head doesn't come up. I can see her arms flailing under water. This bitch is straight up drowning, 10 ft from shore. I paddle over to her as quickly as possible, and get her on my board. Not once did she try to swim towards her surfboard, or the shore. She had no swimming ability whatsoever.
She's laying on my board, panting for breath, when I realize "there's no way the other woman knows how to swim either. If that hoe falls off her board while this one's on my board, she's straight up going to drown." so I try to coax the wet rat off my board and back onto hers. She isn't budging, so I swim both boards the 10 ft back to shore, and leave her on the beach. I paddle out to the other wahine and tow her back to shore as well. It turns out she didn't even notice that her friend was drowning, and was upset that I was ending their session early.
I just can't wrap my head around their course of action. I don't know how to swim. I am going to book a surf lesson. I am going to lie about being able to swim. I am going to stand up on a surfboard in deep-ish water. Like Jesus christ, do people have no self-preservation instincts anymore? Is the assumption that the world is so idiot-proof that you can go surfing without being able to keep your head above water?
Funny thing is; despite almost drowning, despite not standing up on any waves, despite not even going more than 40 ft from shore - they still chose to pay $50 for photos (no tip, of course).
Rant over. Anyone else have stories of exceptional stupidity witnessed in the water?

I have a 4 stage aquatic life rodi was thinking on changing it does anyone know if this is any good ?

"Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress (A), and shall take away the regular burnt offering (B). And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate (C) " Daniel 11:31
"And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (A). Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering (B). And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator. (C)" Daniel 9:26-27
Also:
"And the king shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all." Daniel11:36-37
"Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. " 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
Do these connect as well?

We planned our vacation for a month earlier than normal this year so we could spend father's day with my in-laws. Normally I stash money away here and there for the trip in JULY. But we had to make an emergency trip in March due to a death in the family and dipped into that fund. I also forgot June is my shorter paycheck, my car taxes are due, had an unexpected bill pop up and both my car batteries need to be replaced before we can go. My husband paid for a deep sea fishing trip for him and his parents that weekend so pushing it back isn't an option- husbands vehicle wouldn't make it there and back, and I promised to dog sit while they went, I've already notified work I was taking that week off, I have everything lined up to go. Husband is paying for gas there and back and misc things while traveling. (I have an emergency fund set aside also but won't touch it unless it's a legit emergency!)
When we go we try to do at least one "big" thing and eat out a couple of times at local places. Last time we took the ferry so the kids could get the experience of it and we could explore other beaches and one of the old forts, had lunch out a couple times, and an ice cream stop. This year I wanted to do a "dolphin and sealife experience sunset cruise" because my birthday and mother's day were both essentially ignored and it wasn't too expensive, just more than I have this month thanks to unexpected expenses. So in my head I decided I was going to do it as a present to myself.... But now I'm grumpy and exhausted. I've spent a little under 2 weeks working my butt off trying to come up with some quick money to fund the trip and a few other smaller outings while we are there so I'm not just sitting at my in laws home the entire trip with the kids. I have been selling stuff I make, doing survey/game/rebate apps, anything I can think of to get to my goal, even if we have to do something else and skip the boat trip til next year. I think I'm annoyed at my husband for not even trying to help fund it as a make up for my birthday and mother's day as he keeps saying he's going to do.

Not really sure what kind of advice I'm even looking for right now. I (20m) got kicked out from my dad/stepmom's home last year due to religious issues. I had to move cities overnight and have been staying in different places with my mom since then.
Even though I've been living with her, it's never really been permanent or proper. She won't let me change my address or be on the lease at these places. I'm not even allowed to receive mail at them.
At this new place, we rented personally by some word of mouth recommendation from one of my mom's customers. The whole thing has been kinda sketch, but it's a decent place. Problem is, the rent lady is just out of her mind. This isn't some professional rent organization or anything, just an individual person. She had a lawyer write her a lease. And now she's using that same lawyer to attempt to serve an eviction notice.
Their reasoning is that it's because I'm staying here without her approval and that I'm not on the lease. It was never a requirement, and my mom explained the situation upfront that I would be staying there before signing.
My mom got a note saying a lawfirm attempted to have mail delivered today while she was gone and has to go pick it up from the post office now. Highly suspected that it's an eviction notice.
My mom might try to sue for unlawful eviction. But she doesn't want to rent again, and quite frankly neither of us really have enough money to put down on anything bc we have both been financially struggling. She says she wants to just get an RV to live out of but I'm not sure how likely that is to fall through.
Regardless, I'm trying to plan it through as the worst case scenario which is that we part ways and both of us become separately homeless living out of our own personal vehicles. If something better comes our way, fine. But I guess I just have to prepare for the worst.
Additional info: I live in florida. I have a job but its damn near impossible to make enough to live on my own out here. My own bills/debt (not utilities) cost $800/m and average rent here is $1500/m. I only make about $1500/m to begin with. I am also trying really hard to get back into college full-time this upcoming school year. My older sister has mentioned previously I can stay with her temporarily if something happens, but she has her own life and child and limited space so I can't stay long term.
Again idk what advice I'm looking for honestly. I'm just so lost right now. Anything helps I guess

Hi All!
So, I began a fully remote administration role in January this year. I’ve met my boss in person, once. I took a pay cut for the job specifically because it was fully remote and a lot less stressful than the management position I was in for over a decade, before this (I needed to live part time in my parents home 200 miles away to help my mom care for my dad with Alzheimer’s, so being based from there 1-2 weeks monthly has been a godsend).
I’m the only person reporting to my manager (as far as I know I was taken on, to help with his workload). He’s great and we get along really well but JESUS THE MAN TALKS MORE THAN ANYONE I’VE EVER WORKED WITH. He LOVES a chat (about 50% is about work, the rest is just general chit chat). I’d say we speak for roughly 2 hours a day on average (often on one massive call). I am convinced that this could easily be 20-30 minutes discussing task competition, training etc. He’s great and very funny (similar sense of humour) and I’m so grateful for the job and him being supportive and flexible about my work location but I’d love to maintain a very professional, “work talk only” relationship with him (don’t get me wrong, all of the chat is totally appropriate, there’s just A LOT of it).
So, has anyone got any tips on how to minimise non-work chat that is beginning to take up a pretty large chunk of my work day? I do not want this job to climb any ladders, I genuinely just want something to pay the bills but I’d be happy to stay in it for a number of years. I don’t feel like I need to impress anyone by forging friendships and personal connections but I don’t want to go all dead behind the eyes and flat out stop laughing at his jokes etc - he’s a good guy and a good manager, I just want to talk to him less. Anyone have any input?

Long story so I'll summarize best I can.
I was in a car accident where I was not at fault. Went to ER with minor injuries. When I went to the ER, the receptionist mentioned she'd file the visit under "car accident" so didn't need health insurance info.
Other insurance accepted fault, I signed a release which stated they accepted responsibility of bills on date of accident.
Fast forward, I receive bills, forward them to at-fault insurance company. They pay them. Everything should be done with, but it isnt.
Fast forward some more, somehow my health insurance company filed a claim for the ER visit. Nobody can tell me who filed it, how it got filed, etc. considering I didn't provide the info at the visit. It was a health plan that I had never used, not even once, so it wasn't already on file or anything.
So now the hospital adjusts the bill to reflect having "insurance". My original bills had "uninsured discount" on them. The issue here is the hospital is now sending an adjusted bill for $3,100 instead of the $450 which was already paid to them from the car insurance company.
Then last week, I get a notification through email that the hospital is refunding the $450 payment, with the $3,100 still pending on my account. I can't get an explanation as to why they refunded it.
To further complicate it, the health plan I had (I have since changed plans) wouldn't cover anything as it was high deductible. EOB I receive clearly states plan contribution is $0. BUT they are denying the claim anyway because I didn't use my car insurance medical benefit to go towards the hospital bill. I didn't use my auto insurance at all because I had no reason to.
So ultimately, while it looks like the hospital will be charging the $3,100, should I bother worrying? I of course have a copy of the document I signed agreeing to settle with the at-fault insurance company covering bills resulting from the accident.

I work with a much older team and I'm so sick of talking to people their age about houses. I am looking for my first starter home and try to do everything right. I went to community College before university, work full time, save up 20% for a down payment, drove old cars, no student loans and now homes have double in price and interest rates right when I hit the market. Yes price are coming down but for example in my area a home that was 120k pre covid was 250k during covid and now just slowly falling back down to around 200k but with double the interest now.
Talking to older coworkers they just whine when I mention I prefer to work remote and they tell me why not buy a home in a safe area in the richest suburb of my city. Homes there START at 600k for a shack and they have the audacity to tell me word for word "Just buy the house you won't think about price or interest after a few months" only for them to admit they paid 300k for the same homes ten years ago. What really burns me is the senior team members that make triple my salary having the nerve to tell me if I can't afford a 15 year mortgage or pay in full I'm not ready to buy a home because 30 year mortgages are a waste of money...

Sorry if this has been posted. Lived out there (briefly) many years ago. Still visit occasionally. Last time I was there, stayed at the Venetian. Horrendous water pressure. I’ve heard the Wynn has above average water pressure. Insight is appreciated, as nothing is worse than a weak shower in the desert. List of places that fit the bill would be appreciated.
