| I’m being sued by the at fault driver who doesn’t know I have dash cam footage Posted: 23 Feb 2019 09:55 PM PST Hello, I got hit in Brampton, Ontario in October 2018. I'll try to keep it short! Last October a driver ran a red light while she was making a left hand turn (in a 2 lane left turning street) and hit me as I started going through the green. I called 911 but no one came because no one was injured so we got towed to the police station and made reports. No one got charged with anything, even though she should have imo. They didn't ask questions or care. No ambulance came, no major injuries. The insurance was easy, 100% not at fault for me, all her fault (as I was told is the case for 99% of these types of accidents, where one driver turning left hits a driving going straight). No issues what so ever, they paid off my car and that's it I moved on. Fast forward about 5 months and I received mail that I believe was sent to my insurance company requesting a bunch of information and that she intends to take legal action against me for what I believe is lost wages, guess she got hurt. Her police report is attached which includes what she says happened. It doesn't make any sense as she wrote "he had the green and got hit by me making the turn on a yellow light" The funny thing is, I don't think she knows a driver that was in the inside turning lane beside her stopped and gave me the dash cam footage he had. This footage shows he and the car in-front of him stopping for the red, and you can clearly see her car coming into frame in the outside turning lane on his right after the light is already red, she flies through the red and hits me as I'm moving forward at the green. All very clear on the footage. My question is, how can she sue if she's at fault? I'm sure I'll win a case with the footage I have, but what is the likelihood she will have to pay my legal fees? That's what I'm most worried about. Any thoughts on this situation is helpful. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Woman threatens to sue me because i posted her on reddit Posted: 24 Feb 2019 11:14 AM PST Summary: A few hours ago a woman contacted me asking if i was able to design a logo for her and her perfume brand. The conversation was polite until she said she was unable to pay me and might was able to pay me in a different way (which i think nudes and i am under age). She told me she would fuck me up and i didn't take it serious, just had a good laugh out of it and posted it on reddit (post I blocked her, but an hour ago she made a new account and contacted me again saying she would sue me if i didn't delete the post. Is it possible for her to sue me? I removed all information that could tell it was that person (Instagram name and picture). Could she still sue me for any reason? I am just 15, so i am a little scared. I am in the Netherlands. [link] [comments]  |
| Soon to be EX-wife was given full POA against my wishes by JAG office. What can I do? Posted: 24 Feb 2019 10:30 AM PST I'm a soldier and just returned from deployment while I was gone she went to jag (without me) and presented them with the special POA I gave her to replace our family car (huge hail storm the night before I left) They just gave her a notarized General POA and have her access to my whole life. In the Special POA it stayed said purchase a vehicle under 27k. She used the general to lease a 50k car at 580 a month with a 10% interest rate. I'm wondering what my courses of action are? Can I sue JAG? Can I go after the dealership? Edit: I am located in Colorado at FT Carson [link] [comments]  |
| [Nevada] My neighbor cut a hole in our shared wall so he could use my plug Posted: 24 Feb 2019 11:25 AM PST I live in a duplex/attached house. I share a wall with my neighbor. I heard some noise last night and woke up this morning to find a hole in our shared wall with an extension cord running through it. It was plugged into my outlet. I confronted my neighbor and he insists the plug is also his because it's on the shared wall even though it's in my house. I can see right into his living room and hear his son cursing at his video games. Help. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2019 10:15 AM PST This area has no HOA, it's a city street that happened to be built up with very similar homes in the 40s and early 50s. Part of the reason that I chose this area is because it was one of the few townhomes with no HOA in Houston. I believe in doing what you want with your property as long as it doesn't break any laws, and one of the greatest things about Houston is the lack of zoning laws, you can build a slaughterhouse, a basilica, a nightclub and an insane asylum on the same street as residential homes and an elementary school as long as you own the land, and I am bothered by the idea that someone could be able to tell me that I can't paint my house red, can't have whatever sort of lawn that I like, work on my car in my driveway or whatever else I want to do. A few neighbors are agitating for my street and the adjacent street to have an HOA, they're having a vote next Sunday but I don't even know if I should vote against it at all because voting legitimizes it. If they choose yes am I bound to the HOA, or will I have the legal right to opt out since it wasn't in the deed that I signed when I bought the house. What if I sell the house or die and leave it to my nephews, will they then be bound to the HOA? I want to know because if that's the case I will have to cancel the delivery of my new piano, start moving stuff to storage and put my beloved home on the market. I would rather leave my beautiful house and this great area behind then be bound to the rules of an HOA. [link] [comments]  |
| Got permission to cut neighbors trees now hes mad about the result Posted: 24 Feb 2019 07:58 AM PST Location is Texas. So basically simple as it says. Asked the neighbor for months to trim his trees (encroaching on my property and dangerous because growing in the power drop lines). The trees are super fast growing lugustrums. Finally had an arborist out, he gave me a quote, texted the neighbor and asked if he cared if i cut them, he says "sure, no problem." Now he's upset because they are "too cut". They'll also be back in no time. Should i just ignore him? Does he have a case? He said he was fine with them being cut. I guess we never agreed on what that meant? But he acted like he didnt care. Also he paid nothing to have them managed and he even wanted it done! Edit: Thanks for ya'lls responses. I think ignoring him is best and if he wants to do anything about it make him deal with it. He agreed to them being cut without reservation or asking them to be cut a certain way. They may not even be on his property I'm not sure (may be an easement between our properties). He's asking if arborist has insurance which i think he thinks he can make a quick buck off the arborist or something. Don't want to piss off neighbors this is why i got his permission first but hes just being unreasonable at this point. Also these aren't oak trees these trees grow 2 ft a year (ligustrums) and will be back to green and providing privacy in no time. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2019 04:04 AM PST Hi Someone has been posting nude images of me on an online forum and has posted my Instagram username and snapchat which contain parts of my name in them. I am 85% sure i know who the culprit is but he has blocked me on everything and I don't know what to do. At this point, i want to make a fake Instagram account to DM him something like "remove the thread or I'm pressing charges" to get him to delete everything but i don't want to incriminate myself by throwing a threat out there. Do i have any options here?? I really cannot afford to go a legal route with a lawyer as I'm just a college student but i also don't want my name dragged through the mud because these pictures will probably show up in google searches now (The bot is telling me i have to add location - happening in Florida (where else??))

| Posted: 24 Feb 2019 08:07 AM PST For some context: My brother and his girlfriend have a 1 year old child. They are both the parents on the birth certificate. She spent a good portion of the child's life in jail, and now she's claiming that the REAL father is about to get out of jail. They are both felons, if that matters. My brother, who is on the lease of their apartment or whatever and pays all the bills because she doesn't have been job, was kicked out. He is going to ask her to marry him, but I don't think that'll help anything. He never took a DNA test, but if the mother tries going forward and taking the child, saying the other person is the father, then what can my brother do? He's raised his daughter for a year without her, and now she seemingly wants to take her away If he turns out to not be the biological father, does he still have any legal rights to his child? This is Wisconsin, by the way. [link] [comments]  |
| I quit my job and they knowingly had me working with a tuberculosis patient and refused to notify me Posted: 23 Feb 2019 07:40 PM PST I worked as case manager for a nonprofit agency in MN dealing with the homeless. I would drive clients around to meetings, job interviews, and basically do everything in my power to help give them a place to live and a roof over their head. This non profit group ended being very corrupt and un ethical so I decided to quit on the spot because this agency went against everything I stand for. Now 5 days later I find out from a coworker that a client I was closely working with has tuberculosis, she told me that our manager and our director discussed that they were going to notify me and pay for my TB test and treatment if needed. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. I call my old manager and confront him about it and he responds "sorry" and hangs up. HR is already meeting with me on Monday about me leaving but this is truly horrific. What should I do? [link] [comments]  |
| [AB] Can you be forced into paying for parking by simply exiting a highway? Posted: 24 Feb 2019 06:01 AM PST Last summer I was on a road trip with family passing through Banff. It wasn't our main destination, but I had never seen Lake Louise before, so we decided to take a quick detour to stop and see the sights for a few minutes. We take the highway exit for Lake Louise, follow the road for awhile, and get to the parking lot by the lake. There, we discover that it costs $15 to park. We don't think this is worth it, but are informed that we don't have an option to just leave - by entering the parking lot, we've committed ourselves to paying for parking. Apparently there was a sign to this effect somewhere along the way that we didn't see. We paid up, but it didn't sit right with me, and still doesn't. Does passing a road sign equate to giving legal consent? I hadn't received the service yet, had no desire to receive the service, was completely capable of avoiding the service by simply turning around and driving away, so were we really obligated to pay for this service? Perhaps I'm being stubborn, but it just didn't seem right. [link] [comments]  |
| [NM] Literally just caught my soon to be ex clearing out the garage. Posted: 24 Feb 2019 11:34 AM PST Getting a divorce. She filed a petition, I got served, and me and my lawyer typed up a response last week. However, after a morning with my kids, I come home to see that both my soon to be ex and her mom are cleaning out the garage. Some of the stuff that was being loaded was purchased while we were married. She claims most/all was stuff she owned before our marriage but I asked to see what was moved. Her mom said that was impossible because it was moved to her storage and she refuses to let me see what was moved there. My lawyer's office is closed right now so I left a message, but I need to know if I need to do anything immediately, like file a police report. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2019 12:33 PM PST This is a continuation of previous post, below California Hello r/legaladvice, I'm back. A lot has changed since I made the original post. First of all, my mother does now have a restraining order in place, and after being fostered for about 2 weeks, my brother and I are back living with our dad, and my mother's been charged with 2 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. Now we made statements that were recorded about how she's been hitting us with things like 2x4's, wooden rods and belts for many years, and how they've escalated in frequency over the years. My dad talked with me for an hour, drilling it into me that the allegations are overexaggerated (he says they didn't happen as frequently as we said and she never used a 2x4) and he wants me to talk to my lawyer and get her to rewrite the allegations. However, I remember it happening basically weekly until I reported it, and remember that once she did use a 2x4. He says that all of this is to help save costs, but I argued that by reducing the severity of the allegations he's just trying to help her get a lighter sentence. My questions are

| My uncle spent all of my grandfathers savings for (potentially) fake dating websites. Help. Posted: 24 Feb 2019 06:35 AM PST Hello, I live in Germany. My uncle lives with my grandfather in a house. Since my grandpa is very old (95), he can´t really leave the house safely anymore. So my grandpa and other family members decided to give my uncle access to his bank account. So my uncle could go shopping for his father etc. Body: My mother and I visited our grandpa yesterday and she asked him if he could pay a part of her new glasses since they are pretty expensive. My Grandpa said yes, because his rent is pretty good and he has a considerable amount of money saved on his bank account. (So he thought). We went to the bank and checked his finances and we discovered that my grandpa only had 5k on his bank account. 2 years ago, when my grandfather decided to give his son access to his finances, he had saved approximately 80k. So thats 75k...GONE. We couldnt even afford to pay for him, if he catches any kind of illness or gets a disease. And my grandpa still thinks he has money. We could only print out the banking activities of this month, since we are pretty sure my uncle stores them on the end of each month. But we could see that he took 1400 Euros just this month for himself, since my grandpa didnt receive any of it (My grandpa needs like 500 Euros a month). My mother and I were baffled and we decided to not tell grandpa since he has issues with his heart. Again he is very old and we are pretty sure that this could be a potential death cause if he loses his cool. We wanted to confront my uncle where the money went, but he was not at home nor did he pick up his phone ever since. I took a second look at the statements of the bank and 3 payments 80 Euros each to a bank account called VC Internet B.V. (link to bank statement: https://imgur.com/a/8Y8Pkhu). After using google to get more information it seems to be a dating website called "tindrdating". My uncle had mentioned often times, that he was a member of dating websites, and that he could get any women he wants from those sites. Which indicates that he was talking to bots. Now my uncle is overweight and not particulary attractive but very lonely, so I see it as a possibility that he spent all this money chatting with girls that dont exist and sending them money. I always liked my uncle and we are all still in shock that so much money is missing. What are we supposed to do? Can my mum even sue my uncle? How can we make sure that no more direct payments to those websites are made from my grandpas account? Could my uncle even stop those payments himself? I really would appreciate your help guys. If there is anything you dont understand from my post, feel free to ask. I am still quite shaken up because all of this. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2019 09:39 AM PST [TEXAS] So for the past few months more and more people have been calling/mailing my mom in order to get money that has been owed from another woman who had used my moms address and phone number to avoid responsibility for debt. On top of that she frequently steals my moms reward points (using my moms phone number to access my moms accounts) at places my mom spends a lot of money at like ulta. Now I've tried to sort this out before hand explaining to the ulta store managers that my moms points keep getting stolen by the same lady but they are hesitant to do anything about it. And the same with the debt callers I explain to them that we're not her and direct them back to her but my mom is getting tired of it. What legal action can my mom take against this woman (we have her name and her address) Also please excuse me for the flair I couldn't find identity theft on any of the tags [link] [comments]  |
| Son’s father not giving asthma meds, withholding them Posted: 24 Feb 2019 09:44 AM PST Hello! I live in Michigan. I have joint physical and legal custody with my ex of our son. Our son has severe asthma and requires a maintenance inhaler 2x daily, and also has a rescue inhaler for attacks or if he is ill. My ex does not administer my son's asthma medication, and often my son is returned to me with a cough and chest congestion. (There are counters on the back on how many doses are left. Since I have been suspecting this for some time, I take pictures of the inhalers before and after they go to/come back from ex's) My ex often "forgets" to place medication in son's bag and will not return it to me, sometimes up to several days, and will ignore my texts regarding our son's medication. (I ONLY contact him regarding son) I have had the pediatrician approach my ex regarding the importance of my son's asthma medication in attempts to make it better, but it has not. My question is: what legal rights do I have here in order to protect my son's health and well being? Is this enough grounds to take full custody? I wanted to give ex a shot at being a good parent but it is really starting to negatively effect my son (illness, missed school, etc) [link] [comments]  |
| Sexually Abused by Middle School Teacher 10+ years ago [WA] Posted: 24 Feb 2019 10:13 AM PST Hey reddit. This one's a tough one. TLDR: Raped by teacher back in middle school. Never reported. Now I'm ready to take legal action, but I don't exactly know what that means. I was raped by a teacher multiple times from ages 12 to 14. The rape memories are very confusing and foggy. But I have memories of multiple instances of molestation that I can recall very accurately, including dates and times from 10 years ago. I've never reported it to the police. A couple years after my abuse, another victim came forward which led to the teacher losing his teaching credentials but that's it. If I understand correctly, the cops didn't move forward with criminal charges because there was no DNA evidence. These were some violent incidents- one in particular where I blacked out from the pain. Because some wounds didn't heal properly (so much confusion and shame, I didn't go to a doctor or anything), I had some lasting damage for a while. Once I was an adult, I finally went to a doctor about it and eventually had a corrective surgery to undo some of the damage. As an adult, I've finally gotten the mental help I need. Lots and lots of intense therapy. In the last couple months, I've realized that I think I need to report this to finally put it behind me. So, that's the back story. Here's where I'm at now: 1) Should I file a police report? What does this even mean? Does my name become public all of the sudden? 2) Do I file a civil suit? Is that the alternative if the police can't do anything? 3) At what point should I get a lawyer involved? I have no money, not sure if that effects things. My primary concern is that other kids out there are in danger. [link] [comments]  |
| (Florida) Possible Estate Fraud By Step Mother Posted: 24 Feb 2019 11:02 AM PST Hi Everyone, This adventures takes place in Florida. My grandfather was financially well off and, supposedly, left each of his grandchildren a hefty sum of inheritance. He passed away about 14 years ago. I was only 12 at the time. As I've gotten older, I've reconnected with my estranged Aunt (father's sister). Who confirmed that both her sons (my cousins) each received their inheritance. My father and step-mother did inform me that I had received X amount of money from my grandfather's estate which was put into a trust. This amount is significantly less than what my cousins received. However, to complicate matters further, my step-mother was made the executor of the estate. She has never given me access to my trust and has informed me that all of that money has been spent. My father has also recently passed so I can't ask him either. I also worry that she may be withholding my inheritance from my father as well (but have no proof). How can i go about finding the following information? -I need access to my grandfather's and father's will to confirm what amount I was given. Can this be done through the County Clerks office? -I'd also like to know the parameters of the estate and the executor. For instance, in which cases would my step mother be able to spend money out of the trust? Can I find this information within the will? -If my step mother has been embezzling money out of the trust (which is suspected), how can I go about confirming that? -If the money from the trust has been spent, is there anyway to recoup that loss? I fear that my step mother has completely wiped out the trust and is going bankrupt herself. -I believe I know which bank the trust account is held in. If I am a trustee can I go directly to the bank and get an activity statement? TLDR: grandfather died. maybe left me money. step mother might have stolen it all. [link] [comments]  |

| Bought a laptop online, turns out it belongs to a government agency Posted: 24 Feb 2019 09:39 AM PST So I bought a laptop online on Mercari. It wasn't anything latest or super expensive: asking price was $130 and I offered $80 which the seller accepted. He had a couple of 5 star reviews so no red flags there either. He did however say there was a password on it which I figured was a typical user password as he had screenshots of Windows loading screen so it wasn't a BIOS password or anything. It also didn't come with a charger but then it was an old laptop so wasn't really concerning. Anyways, I got the laptop but it was dead so I ordered a replacement charger from eBay and it came in yesterday. Lo and behold, when I turned on the laptop, it had a government agency badge on the login screen with a notice that this is government property etc. I turned it right off and contacted the seller. He said he bought it off Craigslist so now I think it's likely stolen. I took it to the police but they said we can't do anything since we don't know for sure that it's stolen, as in they don't have a case report from the agency or an individual saying that it's stolen. They suggested I contact the agency and let them know. I did and they took my information but that's about it. The person from the agency I talked to also said that it's the first time they have received a call like this. BTW I also let Mercari know but haven't received a response yet. I guess my question is, is there anything I could've/should've done differently, short of not buying that laptop? Is there any chance I could get into trouble for this? Thanks all. Edit: I'm in NY and the seller is in VA. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2019 11:00 AM PST Hi all, I bought a very nice Yves Salomon coat that retails for $1,760, wore it a few times, felt guilty about the purchase and decided to sell it. I had a woman in my city (NYC) buy it for $700 and then decided to return it. Problem is that I was out of state visiting my mom in hopsice care so the jacket got redirected to the USPS which sent it back to her 10 days before they told me they would. By the time I realized what had happened she had already had the jacket for ~9 days and has ignored my emails, IG messages, etc. asking for the jacket back. eBay already refunded her for the return so she's effectively taken my jacket for free. I've offered to pick it up from her building but still no response. Aside from how unethical her behavior is in my opinion, do I actually have any legal recourse here? Thanks in advance for your help! [link] [comments]  |
| Scooters with modified mufflers driving in apartment complex at all hours Posted: 24 Feb 2019 08:20 AM PST We live in a FL college town apartment complex where these two scooters always drag race up and down the middle street (last night until 0400) We've complained to the security personnel on property to no avail. The office has showed no interest in the issue. They literally drive from 7am-4am all day, every day. Like I said, the scooters have modified exhausts (they are not street legal) and it seems as if they are doing this out of spite (there trips are short and happen every 30min on the dot). What should be my next move? What FL statutes can I cite during my next office visit? Basically, what can I do? I'm losing my mind. [link] [comments]  |
| My Family is Fighting over Inheritance Posted: 24 Feb 2019 01:03 PM PST Hello, sorry if the formatting is bad, I am on mobile. I am an 19 year old girl in Canada. The other day my Aunt came to visit my grandmother (who lives with my mom and dad). Normally, I am not home, as I am in university, but this was my week off from school. My aunt asked my grandmother if she could sign this paper that her and my father drew up together. I managed to peak at it against my mother's wishes but it was her last will and testament and it was a legal document, very put together. Normally I wouldnt have a problem with this, however, my grandmother cannot live on her own. She is so forgetful it is dangerous. She often forgets things like who my parents are or even her own children. She is not in a good mental state to be signing a will in the first place. After much of her contesting to sign the will, she eventually did it, (or so my parents tell me, they made me leave. After I asked what needed to be changed in the will, my mother told me that they changed the will so that it would leave every cent 50/50 to my aunt and my father, this I read myself, however in the original binding will, it was to be split between me and my siblings without any mention of my parents or aunt. Normally I would not care much, but the fact that I was not present for this and my parents felt almost scheming and taking advantage of my grandmother felt wrong. Not only that, my mom told me my grandmother had about 40,000$ so it wasn't much to fight over. My sister had told me that apparently there is a secret account that belonged to my grandfather which could be holding over 4 million dollars. My parents didn't tell me any of this. My parents do not know that I am suspicious of this and looking into legal action. I love my family but this does not seem right. What are my options? Can my sister and I get a exam done on my grandmother for her state of mind to make the will invalid? Should my sister and I draft another will? [link] [comments]  |
| How hard to force the sell of home? Posted: 24 Feb 2019 11:24 AM PST Location: Knoxville, TN In 11 months and 19 days, my daughter will be 18. In my divorce decree, it states that my ex has to sell (or refinance, which she can't do) the home because I let her keep it with both our names on the mortgage and deed. She is obsessed with this house and I understand that it is nice and she can't buy another one. I told her if she could prove she makes the payments that I'd give her a little longer to refinance it but she has repeatedly ignored my requests which has forced me to be in an apartment for almost 4 years now. I plan to go see my attorney on my daughters 18th birthday to get the process rolling but has anyone had a similar experience? I would like to know how long it could possibly take since she will ignore the requests even from a judge and I know she will sabotage the sell of the home every chance she gets. She will probably go as far as to destroy me in the process but I really don't care, I just want my name off the mortgage. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2019 07:44 AM PST A very good friend of mine had committed a crime, he is also a veteran which allowed him to put be put into the VA court system program. He was sent to a rehab facility of sorts for 6 months, once completed about a year of intense supervision, twice weekly meetings with his PO, weekly court appearances and group therapy 4 times a week so it wasn't, in my opinion, a 'light' sentence considering his original crime, he is still in the program with about six months to go. He is very young, very influenceable and has been diagnosed with PTSD, MDD, BPD among others. Had a horribly abusive childhood, was conceived through an act of rape, was a combat veteran...he has attempted suicide many times in the past, he has plenty of reasons to have 'issues'. He had nowhere to go when released from treatment so he has gone through several homes living with what I would call "shady" individuals. Through one of these he has met a man who is a total scammer. Showed him how to use the dark web, buy drugs online, get a new identity...all of which I'm sure sounded great to my friend. He told and showed him how he could start all over, be done with the court system, never have to work again, put his dark past behind him...to a mentally unstable young man I can see how appealing this would sound. So my friend has 'disappeared' with a new identity although not very well. But how often do criminals really do it well🙄There are people who know where he is, I have a hunch but I'm not 100% sure but I know who to ask if I wanted to find out and get that involved. It's only been less than two weeks, I believe if he wanted to end it he could and he'd be less likely to get a more severe punishment. I doubt he would do this. I realize this is a long way to get to my question but I wanted to give some background. Here are my questions and I thank you all in advance for your answers, I'm worried sick over this and I want to help him but I in no way want to make his situation worse. 1) I know who his court appointed VA lawyer is. If I talked to her would it be privileged, or private, or would she be required to share the information with the courts? 2) if I approached this as an informant type situation (I've learned a lot about a lot of people dealing drugs on a large scale throughout our friendship) would there be a possibility of working out a deal where I rat out the guys higher up the ladder, so to speak, and get a deal worked out for my friend that would HELP him, such as treatment, not HINDER him, like being sent to jail or even him being released and be able to proceed through the court system he's currently in like it never happened which is what I think would be best. And if so, would I be able to remain anonymous? I realize this sounds really far fetched! It was one of those first thing in the morning great ideas! Sometimes there not so great😂but hey, it's worth a shot! 3) Any ideas??? Suggestions??? Who would be the best person for me to reach out to? I have children and a job, I cannot risk my families safety over this so anything I do would have to remain anonymous. I adore this man but he's not worth risking harm to my family. I just feel like there has to be a way to help him. He needs help but he's under the influence of people who are not looking out for his best interests and I hope I'm not right but my gut tells me he's on a drug binge right now so I'm sure his decision making skills are even more screwed up than usual. I feel for this young man, he's been through so much, much of which of his own doing, but I can't help but see his potential if he's ever able to get real help and open his eyes to what's really going on. It would break my heart for him to end up in prison or dead by suicide or overdose and I'm afraid without intervention those are the most likely outcomes. Anything you can think of, any suggestions, anything would help me. Also please, if you're a believer in God, please say a prayer for him and his safety. [link] [comments]  |
