Pressing 1 tells the scammer your number is good because a live person did something! Increase the resale value of your number, and you'll get even more calls.

I have a similar policy of screening calls. I've had doctors and hospitals call me, and they always left a message! Simple!

I don't think it was a ban/timeout - she mentioned trouble resetting her password.

Katheliz sent me an email! She lost access to her Toytown account. I don't have any details, but she indicated getting it back would take some doing... I do hope a long term and respected member of TT will be able to return.

I can't green @tor enough for the above post!!! I exactly have that sinking, sickening feeling again that something large and important in the United States is about to collapse. 21 years ago, it was the Twin Towers. Now, it's my legal rights. As a woman. As an American. My body no longer belongs to me. And abortion might be just the beginning of the destruction. What's going to go next? Gay marriage, whatever is left of Obamacare, hey why do women and blacks even need to vote?!?

What makes me sad is that American (female) Facebook users I know have taken to talking about "camping" or "safe camping" (areas where abortions are still legal in the US) as code words in their posts, as Facebook is systematically deleting posts containing the word "abortion".

My neighbors in Florida are taking CBD oil (the kind that doesn't make you high) for chronic pain, and it helps them a lot.

Couples Counseling in English in Munich? Or what else can I do?
Metall replied to Metall's topic in Munich family life
Thank you for your answer. I have an inkling that an Indian marriage is for life, that family pressure is involved, and casting any doubt on it is a big deal. I'll give this some thought - whether to talk to them or write them. I have Turkish relatives, where approaching touchy subjects with respect is key - maybe that can guide me. Definitely no police, as German authorities are supposed to keep the peace, not help in a domestic dispute. But if somebody gets hurt, I don't want to be the neighbor who ignored everything. -

Metall replied to Metall's topic in Munich family life
I am hoping for that. I don't know any counselors in Munich Indians would talk to. The neighbors will probably call the police soon, which is not going to help a whole lot. -
Couples Counseling in English in Munich? Or what else can I do?
Metall posted a topic in Munich family life
Does anybody know a therapist/counselor in Munich who can work with a couple in English? No, not for me - it's for the neighbors where I am currently living who are in domestic trouble. They are truly nice neighbors, we introduced us to each other, take packages/food deliveries, say hello when we meet... but they don't get along with each other. Here's the sticky part - they are both from India. He came here a few years ago, she joined him straight from India (we talked about this) just when the pandemic lock downs started without knowing a word of German and no job to occupy her. And after a while, the arguing started. They live wall to wall with me, so when the volume (in their own language) went up, I couldn't miss it. And the frequency gradually went up to every week, now every couple of days... I've met her outside in her pajamas shouting into her phone, so asked if she needed help which she refused... offered help to him, too when he came out... he's run past me in the hallway and gone for walk... They have recently escalated to throwing stuff and slamming doors. He isn't beating her in my opinion, because I would hear that. And believe me, I would notice. I *think* she is deeply unhappy in Germany, but that's just guessing. The arguing and shouting has been going on for multiple hours today, and she ran out of the house... he later led her back by the hand, which she permitted, so they are trying... I already talked to them before, told them both they can come to me, day or night. I don't know what else to do. I don't want to call the police because God knows how that will mess up their residencies or make things worse. My last idea is to get hold of some addresses with English speaking professional help, and drop a letter in their mail box - because I don't know how to tell Indian people they need counseling. What else can I do? I don't want them to go overboard and do something they will regret. -
Don't do that! Immediately contact your insurance and send them the letter, THEY need to sort that out!

Came home from vacation and my mailbox lock has changed & has someone else's name on it -

Also, change your apartment door lock TODAY. -
That is... heartbreaking.

But... when will the armed civilian trying to stop a shooter... be mistaken for a shooter herself when she pulls her gun? And be killed by police or other civilians in the confusion? I assure you, this *will happen*.
