If you actually have something intelligent to contribute regarding the sanctions on Russia, I'm all ears, but if not, then just move on.🕺
Don't waste your breath because...
All the little ducklings gathered 'round,
Standing there just like schoolkids;
While the old duck put on
His reading glasses.
He taught them and taught them
From Wednesday until Friday,
But they haven't moved an inch
From where they started.
Etogac, I bet she didn't let him cross the street. Anyway, looking at these sanctions against Russia... seeing Alpine milk back in the grocery store at $5.00, when it was sitting at $7 or $8 just the other day—does that mean we're at war with the neighbors too?
Let me start with those three dots... you know, because some tank enthusiasts think I need to sound all deep and philosophical... so... Look, just because I disagree with how the West handles most of the rest of the world—and all the chaos that policy triggers, like in Afghanistan, Libya, or Vietnam—doesn't mean I’m suddenly some anti-Western extremist. People love to jump to that conclusion. They act like if you aren't 100% on board, you should just pack up and move to somewhere like Libya, where "democracy" caused unrest just yesterday and now everything is supposedly blooming perfectly... Give me a break. Stop telling people to relocate just because they don't agree with the way hegemons tear things apart globally. That's called criticizing the system I actually live in. I'm not a sheep who thinks everything is perfect. Here are my three dots for you...
Hey everyone, my mom just called me in a panic because her bank account was frozen due to a writ of execution. I’m trying everything I can to gather info and figure out how to help her. I’ve already reached out to a consumer advocacy group, but I wanted to check in here too. I don't have any experience dealing with legal seizures like this, and since I don't live in the States, I'm a bit lost. I'll lay out all the details below—if anyone could offer some advice on what our next steps should be, I would really appreciate it.
1. The debt is for sewage services for a house that was registered under her mother's name until she passed away last July.
2. We're talking about unpaid bills dating all the way back to 2009.
3. My mom is the current owner of the house, but she hasn't received the writ of execution because she isn't staying at her primary registered address right now.
4. The total amount being seized is roughly $2667, but when she called the local water utility, they told her the actual unpaid balance was only about $1.00. I have no idea why there's such a massive gap between the actual debt and the final amount they're taking.
If there's a kind soul out there who can point me in the right direction on how to handle this or who we should contact for legal help, please let me know.
Thanks so much!!!
Hey everyone, I could really use some help here. I'm trying to file my sales tax forms through the IRS website, and everything goes smoothly right up until the signature step. Then, nothing. It just refuses to apply my digital signature. I feel like I've tried everything—switching from Internet Explorer to Chrome, even trying Firefox—I've reinstalled Java, double-checked all the settings to make sure everything is enabled per the manual, and even hopped onto a different computer entirely. Still no luck. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks!
Giving it another shot

I’m starting to feel a little bit of panic regarding my travel status. I actually went to school in Austin, though I never officially applied for a student visa. Now, I still have my degree to pick up, which means I end up heading back to Austin for several weeks at a time quite often. Does anyone know how long you can actually hang out in the Schengen Area—like in places such as Germany, Italy, or Canada—without a specific reason? Obviously, I can't tell them I'm there for school since I don't have the right visa, so maybe I could just say I'm visiting. If I claim I'm just visiting, how long am I allowed to stay before I'd run into trouble with the authorities?
Maybe a tourist visa lets you stay for up to three months? Where do you even get one of those, and how many times a year can you use it?
I haven't been able to find any straight answers online, so I’d really appreciate any insight you guys might have.
