| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 10:44 PM PDT Second update; I met with the manager today and he said he will do anything to make this up to us and keep it from being talked about outside of the hotel. Whatever that means. I just thanked him and told him I'd call if I need anything. Thank you everyone for al your replies. It's not the end of the world, just extremely dangerous and negligent on their part. I spent most of the night crying thinking what happens now, do I relapse, but luckily I woke up feeling normal and just as committed to my sobriety as I was before that gulp... his comments make me think he or the boys are afraid of something happening. I don't know what, but if there is something more I can do to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone again I want to do it, like contacting the departments you guys have provided in the comments. Thank you again. The first time, I messaged their security and got an extremely apologetic phone call with an invite to come back for a few nights and a comped several hundred dollar dinner in one of their restaurants. MORE THAN KIND, right? He said they could get in a lot of trouble for this, so they wanted to make it up to me. It's night 2 of my stay here and I ask a waitress for a sprite with mint and lime, I was clear I didn't want a Virgin mojito just in case that was too confusing for the bartender.. a few minutes pass.. She gives it to me, and like an idiot, I take a big gulp. Yup. That's right. Going on 4 years sober and I just swallowed my second gulp of booze, thanks to the same hotels inability to idk, make a soda? What do I do? I had to unfortunately go through weeks of counseling after the last mistake. I just feel absolutely let down and disgusted with myself and whatever bartender made my sprite.. Update; the head of the alcoholic beverage department called the manger on staff back, which is surprising because it's midnight. He said he'd appreciate if we don't go home, as he will come in the morning to speak to us because he feels this has escalated to a dangerous situation for both the hotel and me. I have no clue what that means but I'm assuming the video they found of them pouring booze into my cup, then the video of the waitress clearly telling me my drink was Virgin has something to do with it, or the fact that this mistake is the exact reason they even invited me back..... who fucking knows. They just had me fill out a statement. I have the drink here in the room with me. Idk why. I just need to sleep, I've been crying on and off for hours because yet again I'm left wondering if 3 years and change of sobriety is now down the drain.... and I need to to forget the taste of that strong ass drink going down my stupid ass throat.

| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:51 AM PDT In wisconsin when you title a new car you can transfer your old plates. I do so following instructions. You send in the approved application/e-reciept with the title, both signed and dated. You keep a copy of everything as well. On the bottom of the e_reciept it stats 'operation of this vehicle is legal when you place the documents listed in the mail for delivery to:....'. I got pulled over in MI for an unrelated reason(not important but i can go into detail if you want) he couldnt find anything in their data base connecting my current car with the plate. Thats to be expected because of how soon it was. He also did not like the paper i have from the DMV with the above quote. He then had it impounded and removed the plates. That was last night. I ask him exactly what he needs from the DMV to prove that the plates belong with my car. He says he needs some paperwork directly from them. I have the DMV fax and email him all paperwork involved they have, and he still wont accept it until its fixed in their system where he can electronicly check it. Which is different proof then what he asked for earlier. They even call him to explain that its legal for me to drive. Unfortunatly they cant put it in electonicly until at least monday when they get the stuff i mailed in. In the meantime my car is racking up impound fees and i have a court date for driving with improper plates. What do i do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:36 AM PDT I've got text messages of him firing me for bringing it up, saying I cant take a joke and I need my ass kicked. What actually can I do about this? It was 3 months ago Edit: I'm in the State of Michigan. I read in a newspaper a while back that being gay isnt protected, but the exact words said were "I saw u/Audio_Sound_Garden on Grindr (gay tinder) yesterday" To which the secretary said "YOU DIDNT??" The actual context is I have IBS but no doctor, and my potty breaks are smelly and obvious. He was saying my butthole is loose from getting fucked, and he said that daily. When I told the manager above him I got let go for performance [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 05:58 AM PDT My dad had a work related injury almost 40 years ago. He completely broke his pelvis in half and was told by his doctors that it was the worse broken pelvis that they've ever seen on a living man. He broke his back and was told he would never walk again but he defied the odds. He broke his ankle, shoulder, collarbone, some ribs, and had other injuries as well. He was working for the federal government at the time, if that's important. Anyway, about 6 months ago a man that works with his workers comp started coming by and said that he was going to see if my dad was fit to work. He had to go to many doctors and jump through many hoops. He has 2 heart aneurisms, a deteriorating spine, takes medication daily so he is unable to drive, getting really forgetful, and some days he literally just lays in the bed in constant chronic pain but somehow they deemed him able to return to work and they have him set up to go through some training to do a desk job. After training is complete he will have a 90 placement period after which his benefits will stop. What can be done? It's ridiculous that they expect him to return to working when he can't even drive or lift more than 10 lbs. It blows my mind. They are going to take away his ability to care for himself and I know that he is unable to work. I just need to know how I can help him and give him some direction. Thank you Reddit.

| Charged $1200 for plane tickets that were never received. Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:35 AM PDT Back in January my girlfriend bought tickets for an upcoming vacation (November) through Air France. She purchased the tickets via PayPal using both her PayPal balance and her linked bank account. The funds were withdrawn immediately and we awaited the confirmation email which did not arrive. I contacted Air France the same day and received an automated message that an agent would contact me shortly. This never happened so I again reached out via email and Facebook messenger a few more times with no response. Since her account was charged, we assumed everything was fine or we would have been refunded or not charged to begin with. Finally, yesterday after spamming them through Facebook messenger, I receive a message stating the purchase was cancelled due to non receipt of payment. We double checked and the funds were definitely withdrew from PayPal and her bank account and not refunded. We booked directly through the Air France website and the statement says the money was sent to PayPal Air France. They advised sending screenshots of the transaction and I obliged sending screenshots of her PayPal and bank transactions. They told us to call their local number and again we obliged. After a 40+ minute hold time and multiple people later, a supervisor told us Air France never "captured" the funds and they have no record of the transaction going through. They can see where the tickets were placed on hold pending payment, but not actually receiving the payment. She said our only recourse was to dispute it with PayPal, that PayPal would contact them directly and they would say there was never a ticket issued and we would be refunded. Of course, since this was in January it is past the 180 day dispute window and PayPal rejected the dispute on those grounds. What recourse do we have for recovering these funds? Not only are we out our vacation but now we are out $1200 with seemingly no options left. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Job changed our schedule from 5-6 ten hour days to 7 twelve hour days effective immediately (WA) Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:15 AM PDT With one day off every other week. First of all, can they just change the hours like that with zero notice? Many of us will be unable to work the longer shifts due to child care issues. If a place of employment becomes incompatible like that, will I be eligible for unemployment if I'm forced to quit? [link] [comments]  |
| My wife asked for a divorce, but said she wants to stay married for the benefits. Posted: 08 Aug 2019 06:19 PM PDT So here's the situation. My wife and I have been having trouble for about 15 months now. I'm military, and I was deployed when the trouble started. When I got home, we started seeing a marriage counselor, and that bore fruit for quite a while. Things came to a head about 3 months ago and I started seeing an individual counselor as well. About 6-7 weeks ago, she moved out while I was at work. I came home to a half empty house and a letter taped to the garage door. Long story but we agreed to continue trying counseling, and I still continued to see my personal counselor. Last week, after returning from a 2-week trip to see her family and a few friends, she asked for a divorce. It broke my heart. She called me toxic and says I've treated her poorly and manipulated her and controlled her for years, which I don't understand, but that's not for this sub. Here's where I need the legal advice: she says she still wants to stay married on paper so can continue to receive financial support from me (I'm bound by regulation to do so) as well as healthcare (while she's my dependent, she receives full coverage from TRICARE). She wants that arrangement to continue until she finishes her RN in about a year and can gain full time employment. Now…I'm not opposed to that. I love her, and I don't want to see her left in the cold if something happens, and she's in school full time and can't support herself. I also don't want a divorce, because I still love her, and she says she still loves me… but I do have principles, yknow? A marriage that's only on paper for the benefits is a sham, or at the very least disingenuous, and could get me into a lot of trouble. The compromise I asked her to consider was staying married, but if we do so, then we continue to try marriage counseling, individual counseling, etc, whatever it takes. I don't feel that's an unfair proposition. In response she accused me of using her health as a bargaining chip to get what I want, but that couldn't be further from the truth…while I'm married I can't get any closure, I can't move forward, I can't try to meet someone else (that's adultery, and a crime in the military's books)…if we stay legally married all it does is prolong the pain and heartbreak that I'm feeling right now. I'd planned on reaching out to military lawyers (JAG), but she said she'd already seen a lawyer on base, and that I can't go because it'd be a conflict of interest…that can't be right, can it? JAG is a huge thing where I'm at (Central Texas) and I can't possibly have to pay out of pocket when the service affords me a lawyer? She also said if -I- chose to file, that she'd contest it and try to take me for everything (alimony, full coverage healthcare, etc). We've only been married for 3 years, and when she moved out she took half of all of our joint assets; I've been paying her the separation pay monthly and have the checks to prove it, and I've even still been contributing to her retirement/investment account monthly as well. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of but I also don't really know what my rights are as a husband. Please help. [link] [comments]  |
| [NY] Lawyer just agreed to something I specifically told him not to... what are my options? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 08:52 AM PDT 2 year divorce/custody battle. Had only 3 days of trial before judge stopped it. Wants to give me regular visitation and my wife legal custody. Wife still wants sole. Lawyers are pushing hard to settle but she keeps delaying in and out of court. Wife's lawyer told us she's going on vacation in two weeks and it was expected I move my Wednesday visit. I told my lawyer to say no and he went and said yes anyway. He didn't even get anything in return. I'm super pissed. The judge had stated she wanted me to get two weeks vacation and I got nothing due to no settlement. I want that date for my parents when they visit. It's court ordered time. I told them to fix this, but they haven't. What do I do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 06:17 AM PDT I work in a restaurant and make minimum wage. The tips we make are whatever people decide to throw in our jar by the registers, and recently the registers have been a little under what they are supposed to be, so my employer said they will be taking our tips for the next few nights. I live in New Jersey and was wondering if this is legal. We still make at least minimum wage, but is there anything that makes the tips the employees' money and not the employer's?

| Am I liable if something happens to my roommates child? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 12:14 AM PDT I moved in (no official lease) with a woman who is going through a divorce and has a child. She is a major stoner, legal here in Washington State, and has let her 2 year old twice now, escape out the front door into traffic. The second time, an officer came by. I was out of the house both times. She left an hour ago without letting me know she was leaving. Her child is in the room next door, its midnight and the door is neither latched and she didn't put any baby gates up. I was not informed at all she would be leaving and had I been, her child is NOT my responsibility. I am quickly feeling my instincts pressing me to get out of this situation fast. Regardless of legal liability I don't want anything to happen to this child, but am I legally liable if say, I had been asleep when she left and something happened? Would I be arrested?

| Company claims my parents owe them money but didn't try to collect for eleven years Posted: 09 Aug 2019 06:44 AM PDT My parents and I live in Virginia. In 2008 a court apparently decided a judgement against my parents for CapitalOne over unpaid credit card debt. A lien was put on the house. However, my parents were never notified of this and the only court documents we have were only sent to us now, in 2019, after my parents were trying to take out a refinance loan. During the process the lender discovered the lien on the title, which was the first we had ever heard about the debt. The court documents are also not fully filled out, they only include the amount, my parents' name, and their address. What makes this stranger is that my parents filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and CapitalOne was listed as one of the lenders who was supposed to be repaid during the bankruptcy. From what I understand if the bankruptcy process, someone is made responsible for paying back your lenders on your behalf. My parents called the attorney they had during the bankruptcy, who claimed that CapitalOne did not accept any money from the person who was resolving the debts, so both that individual and the attorney considered the debt resolved. CapitalOne did not. In eleven years, CapitalOne has not made any attempt to collect the debt. The debt has not shown up as existing on any credit report or anything that my parents have run. The attorney claimed that parents were officially debt free after the bankruptcy. My parents' old attorney claims that we have to pay back the debt and that she will try to negotiate a settlement for a lower amount of money. Both my parents and I are suspicious of this, especially since every website I've looked at says the statute of limitations on debt collection on a court judgement is ten years (and that the debt is extensible, but only if extended during that ten years). What's going on? Should we fight having to pay this debt? This whole process is holding up the refinance loan and we need it to make some urgent repairs to the house. [link] [comments]  |
| [IL] My “nurse” aunt made my cousin pee for her so my aunt could get a job Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:49 AM PDT So I don't really know what I can do, but I'm going to describe what happened as well as I can. My aunt has attempted to become a nurse her entire adult life. Due to her randomly disappearing at times throughout my childhood, I don't even know if she's at all certified, but that is a story for another subreddit. Last year, my aunt was offered a position as a nurse at a new heart hospital. However, in order to get the job, she had to take a drug test. As my aunt is a drug user, she forced my 17-year-old cousin to pee for her instead. I'm worried because my aunt is literally in charge of keeping people alive and healthy, and she has shown up for work under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the past. So is there anything that I should or could do? Is this illegal? And if so am I able to report it to someone? [link] [comments]  |
| My molester admitted what he did via Facebook. Can a police report me be filled 17 years later? (MI) Posted: 09 Aug 2019 12:37 AM PDT As the post says, I confronted someone who molested me for years starting at age 9. He admitted and apologized, but he has other allegations against him over the years so fuck his lying ass. Can I take his messages to the police and file a report? Or a restraining order? Also, it was a family member. [link] [comments]  |
| CA/Folsom Landlord/Tenant questions - can I kick my bro and his gf out or start charging rent? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 03:53 AM PDT I own my own home. 5 years ago I let my younger brother start living with me. We had an informal agreement that he would help with utilities (pay 1/2) but I ended up giving that money straight back to pay for medical marijuana that he was buying and sharing with me but we never figured out how much I was smoking and therefore how much I really owed him. After a very short time of this we just decided that I'd smoke when I liked and in exchange he wouldn't pay for anything. I quit smoking about a year ago so nothing is being exchanged anymore. 3 years ago his GF started staying with us for long periods of time like summer break, thanks giving break, christmas/winter break, basically any time she's not at graduate school she's living with us and even has her mail sent to my house. Nothing has ever been in writing or discussed in terms of who's staying, how long, are they paying/contributing financially etc. Recently I had a late bill on my electricity which caused a shut off of our power for half a day. When they came home midday from their part time jobs to see the power was out they wanted to have a talk with me. It was kind of surreal. I felt like I was a loser bum in my own home while they were the landlords. They wanted to know what my income was and how I was going to fix this. They were distraught and condescending. I realized how entitled they had become. For example; they didn't like my living room furniture so they threw it away and bought stuff they liked to replace it without asking me. Their argument was that the furniture had become ratty but that's only the case because their pitbull destroyed part of my furniture. A pitbull I did not agree to have brought home, it was just sprung on me. They also have guests over without letting me know, ask me to leave from time to time so they can have romantic dinners alone and have allowed the dog to destroy improvements I made to my little backyard. So much so that I've basically given up making improvements until they move out. Theres also damage to a bathroom and bedroom that they use (massive gouge in the tile half the size of the palm of my hand, malfunctioning toilet, hole punched in his bedroom door.) I've basically allowed them to walk all over me not contributing in anyway, acting like they own the place while I spread myself razor thin trying to make ends meet. Spelling it all out like this is really embarrassing. I've been treating them like guests but they are legally tenants and I want to start charging them for things. Legal Questions -I want to sit them down and explain that I am their landlord and they have 30 days to start paying $2k a month to live with me or they will be evicted. Can I do that? How should I go about it? -If I follow through with being their landlord and charging rent what kind of arrangements or things do I need to do like requiring them to get renters insurance, puting the rent agreement in paper, etc.? -Am I allowed to appraise the value of the furniture they destroyed and other house damage and give them a bill? If anyone has a link to a site explaining my rights as a landlord and their rights as tenants in this situation that would be much appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Stealing a child’s medication, employer has forgiven employee but am I able to contact authorities? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:35 AM PDT (TX) I (F, 21) work as a preschool teacher in a privately owned facility, so the management is pretty lax as long as we follow curriculum. In my class there's a student (F, 3) and she has breathing problems and needs several breathing treatments a day just to not wheeze and cough, it's pretty serious. There is another teacher here, (F, 29) who came in yesterday and raided this little girl's cubby looking for her vials of medication and took one "because she's coughing and forgot her own medication". Naturally, I told my director, she said to just keep her updated on the situation. Later on that day, the other teacher comes in with a note to the mother of the girl saying that she would bring her own medication in to replace the vials she took, and apologizing. I found out later she also messaged her on Facebook and told her that she stole one and would replace it, I guess to make the situation seem less severe than it was. After speaking with the mother about it, she was obviously upset about it but didn't seem to want to take it further. My director isn't going to do anything about this. I'm worried because the little girl in question will be moving up into this woman's class next week, and will have her medication in arms reach of this teacher at all times. Is there anything I can do or someone I can report this to? The teacher knows my feelings and thoughts on this issue so I'm not worried about her getting upset with me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:00 AM PDT I don't know anything about legal matters so I could use all the help I can get. This happened in Indiana if that matters. My friend was being harassed and sexually assaulted at work and through text messages by someone higher up than her (she is a regular employee, they are an assistant manager). After being continuously sexually assaulted, she finally got in contact with the regional manager and they started an investigation on BOTH people. The person who sexually assaulted her had also been known to smoke AND sell weed on the premises and that was also brought to the attention of the regional manager. Multiple people stood by her side and she had proof of the sexual assault. Today, however, they decided to fire her claiming that it was because she "argued with someone on the sales floor" although it was when no customers were present. The person who sexually assaulted her got away with just a simple warning. Is there anything my friend can do in this situation, legally? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:54 AM PDT I don't really know how to format properly but here goes. 3 weeks and 1 day ago, the cops took my firearm. The reason was a family member was depressed and suicidal. He took my firearm and threatened to shoot himself. Obviously, the cops were called. I was able to wrestle the gun away from him before anything happened. The police took the gun and asked if I really to press charges since it was taken out of my car without my permission. I told them no, I don't want to press charges. Now, they will not give it back to me. They said they are waiting for it to clear the DA's office for me to be able to take it back into my possession. Is this standard procedure or are they fucking me around? Like I said it's been over 3 weeks now, and still no information. I'm not sure if this is actually the correct subreddit, but any advice would sure be helpful as I'm starting to get frustrated. [link] [comments]  |
| Can my boss force us to help pay for a work retreat? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:41 AM PDT Hi all, hopefully this is appropriate to post here but my boss tasked me with planning a work retreat. For whatever reasons he does not believe the retreat will be reimbursed by admins, so he is volunteering to pay for half of the costs. He wants us to pay for the other half. I think he may be wrong about reimbursement, so I am also contacting admins to clear this up currently. This is a mandatory trip, so does this equate to being forced to pay to go to work? My boss is not purposefully being malicious, he is just clueless about proper etiquette and legality. To be clear I am not scared of bringing up issues directly to him for fear of retribution etc, so the only legal advice I need is the answer to whether or not he would be breaking the law by forcing us to attend and pay? For reference I live in CT, USA. Edit: I just checked with the finance manger and it won't be reimbursable due to liability reasons. This is a university environment also, which may be relevant.

| MI- Dad threatens me with a gun. Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:53 AM PDT MI- Dad and I were arguing and he got pissed and said he "would put a round in me." I am thinking I should file a police report, but mom says I shouldn't. Father has several guns in the house and is prone to outbursts. I am actually concerned he might go through with it. I am staying at home for a while but will be gone in less than a month. If that matters. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:35 AM PDT So long story short, I'm a freelance graphic designer and earlier this year a friend of mine (Mark) referred an acquaintance of his (Pete) to me to have some work done for his business. Mark warned me that Pete is difficult to work with, but that's nothing new to me so I just made a mental note of it and started getting shit figured out with Pete so I could get started. Pete introduced me to a new level of difficult to work with, so when he wanted to discuss having me do another project for him after the original was done, I declined. He had a very difficult time accepting that I was not obligated to continue working with him, and eventually Mark suggested just doing the project with all communication between Pete and myself going through him, as well as an explicit understanding that this was going to be the last time I work with him, because otherwise Pete just wasn't going to let it go. I accepted this proposal but told Mark I'd be charging Pete my asshole rate, and suggested he tell him the price went up because I am busy with other projects (which is part of what I told him when declining the additional work in the first place). Mark decided to use this as a teaching moment, and explained the asshole rate situation to Pete, hoping it would get him to understand that the way he conducts himself can have consequences. Pete sent me a long-winded email with a lot of colorful language, but it boils down to him informing me that he's got a clinical diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder, which makes his behavior a component of his disability, so my attempt to refuse to work with him/charging more because of his conduct is discriminatory. He promised that I'd be hearing from his attorney, and that he'd be filing an ADA complaint. I know that most people who threaten to sue are full of shit, and it really feels like he has no case here anyway - I don't believe that being an entitled asshole who can't speak to anyone without insulting them is a protected class. I still have a bit of a nagging fear in the back of my mind that this guy isn't gonna let it go, so beyond general advice about how to protect myself going forward, I think I'm hoping to hear someone who knows what they're talking about confirm that this dickhead doesn't have a case. I left out a ton of detail that didn't seem particularly relevant to avoid writing any more of a novel than this turned out to be. If there is any missing information that I should have included, just let me know and I'll be happy to fill in the blanks. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| My nephew told me he was being hurt by his mother Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:39 AM PDT I live in Florida. My nephew (3) comes by to play with my son and regularly mentions that his mom hurts him. She is in her early twenties and is a single mom. She has a track record of being neglectful and have anger issues. When my nephew was around 18 months, she left him alone at home in the middle of the night to drive two hours away. Her mother that supports her and the child didnt report it until months after it happened and nothing came of it. The boy has had huge bumps on his head before and had to go to the hospital a few months ago for stitches in the back of his head for supposingly running into a wall, doesn't make sense that it would be the stiches would be at the back of his head. I expressed my concern many times to my husband about his sister's actions but he turns a blind eye towards it and told me I was trying to stir up trouble. My mother feels I should not get Involved. I feel very sorry for my nephew, I was wondering what would be the best way to go about this? [link] [comments]  |
| Neighbor two doors over doesn't like my backyard lights Posted: 09 Aug 2019 02:24 AM PDT TLDR: I work nights. Neighbor two doors down says my backyard string lights disturb her sleep. Have tried accommodating grievances. Still disturb her sleep because she wants the sky to be pitch black. Light pollution is no more than a far away street light from her bedroom. Hello, I live in Austin Texas. I work the nightshift, so I sleep from 10:30am to 6:30pm. I enjoy being outside and experiencing the weather. The large backyard is half of the reason we are renting this house. I want my dog to be able to run around at night so having the lights on briefly at night is ideal. I am very quiet at night and do my best to not disturb my nextdoor neighbors. Today, my neighbor from two doors over who I have never met knocked on my door and said, "I'm here to talk to you about your backyard lights," as soon as I opened the door. She told me they disturbed her and that possibly putting tinfoil hats on the bulbs would solve the problem. I told her I understood and would do what I could to ensure they did not disturb her. She left and I carried on with my day. Previously, my neighbor directly to the right of our backyard messaged me to let me know the string lights were disturbing him. I promptly moves the lights away from his side of the backyard, and he said they no longer disturbed him. Then I checked with my landlords directly to the left of our backyard to ensure the lights did not bother them and they approved of their use. At about 0230 when I was sure most people had gone to sleep and I wouldn't be preventing anyone from dozing off I turned the lights on and started putting tinfoil hats on them. When I was done I played with my dog outside for ten minutes with the lights on. With the hats the light pollution above our backyard was greatly reduced so I figured the problem would be solved, especially because the right side of my backyard - and the side that the neighbor from two doors down is closest to - is almost totally black. In addition, our entire backyard has lots of tree cover so I didn't see the string lights as being a problem. At 0300 I walk into my house from the backyard and am greeted by my doorbell ringing repeatedly. I open the door to two doors down neighbor who tells me that the lights are still disturbing her and the foil hats are not enough and that I should get different lights. I tell her the light pollution is greatly reduced and they should not bother her as they are currently. She invited me to see how the lights effect her bedroom. I obliged. I enter her bedroom on the second floor of her house and it is almost completely black. She has two windows that face my backyard and with the blinds and curtains down you cannot see my lights shining through. With the blinds down the only change is that when you look out her three windows that face her backyard the sky is slightly grey rather than complete darkness. Even with all the blinds open the light is no more than a distant street light and the darkness was still so complete that I was unable to see her face or any object around her room. I said so and she said that the light disturbed her and she moved there to be able to see the night sky. I said I had the right to have minimal lights on in my backyard. She said she would not drop the matter. We exchanged phone numbers so she wouldn't come knocking on my door in the middle of the day when I'm sleeping, and I left. What legal action can be taken against me if any? What should I do? I want my dog and I to be able to go outside even though I sleep all day. Edit: I read that if the lights are covered and the light output is less than 200 lumens even when the lights overlap then the lights can be on past curfew. The bulbs on the string lights are 5W each, about 66 lumens. I was going to take out every other bulb to avoid the possibility of the lumen output being over 200. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:56 AM PDT So, I have a charge that I completed probation for on Dec of 2012. The charge is for sale or distribution of a controlled substance in the 3rd degree [893.13(1A2)13]. This is what they said in my denial email. *For felonies of the third degree, it must be more than 10 years from the completion of probation or release from confinement. But, my charge should if I am not mistaken fall under the exception of chapter 893.13(6)(a) *For third degree felony convictions under Ch. 893.13(6)(a), it must be more than 5 years from the completion of probation or release from confinement. Can anyone please help answer this question for me. I am at the lowest point of my life. I worked so hard to make it through nursing school. I have no other records, I've been a good citizen since then volunteering and giving back to the community. I paid for my mistake, and it seems to still be haunting me. Am I the one mistaken? Does my charge not fall under that chapter? I can't afford $5,000 for a lawyer to just answer this question. I'm in Florida, although if I'm not mistaken it is the same for any state in the U.S when dealing with the board of nursing. [link] [comments]  |
| Is my grandmother trying to scam me? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 12:18 PM PDT My grandparents and I haven't spoken in years due to them being, well, shitty people. My grandfather passed away several months ago and my grandmother decided to sell the house. I received this text from her this morning: "Just so you will know You will be receiving a phone call this afternoon from my title company for selling the house. They need you to sign a paper saying you have no claim on my house." I got to thinking, why would the sale of her house have anything to do me? Unless... Maybe my grandfather included me in his will? I really didn't expect to be in it since he took my mom out a long time ago, but I guess it's possible. Is it possible that I am entitled to a portion of the sale of the house and my grandmother is trying to hide that from me? I haven't called her yet because I don't trust her and I don't want to fall for any lies. I don't really know anything about the sale of houses or wills or anything like that so I thought I'd keep my mouth shut until I heard some advice from someone who knows more than I do. EDIT: My location is Fort Worth, Texas. [link] [comments]  |
