Purely sociological, honest question:

After all, you didn't choose Quasimoto or the Jack Black type.

Hm. Don't know what it says about me, but I've dated some REAL Quasimodos! Even married one!

I don't think I'm a mountain razorback troll type. But some of the guys I've dated have been!

Someone stole my debit card information.

I've had my debit card info stolen a couple times. Both times, bank cleared it up immediately with no issues

Once, I was super duper dumb and let one of those people who live outside the USA onto my computer because I kept getting notifications of a "virus" and that I needed to call a phone number (scam)

I let him on my computer, paid him $300 via Paypal. I realized what I did....called Paypal and talked to a woman there and told her I was just dumb, but that I did allow him to "provide a service...." Paypal reversed the charge. The guy called me back and told me to "rot in hell."

What does Tax-deductible mean when donating to charity?

If you made $10k and you are in the 12% bracket, you will pay a total of $x over the year (taken out of checks). If not enough was taken out, you owe more. If too much was taken out, you get a refund

However, when you file your taxes, you can count off certain deductions. An example is that if you spent more than 7.5% of your income on medical bills, you can deduct those.

If you spent money on donations/charity, you can deduct that.

Those deductions do not come out of the amount you owe on taxes dollar for dollar. You get a percentage of those deductions back, based on your adjustable gross income. So if you spent $1k on medical expenses, you aren't going to get $1k back. Your adjustable gross income is lowered by the $1k and then you pay your 12% of taxes on that lowered amount....

i would like every long time member of this site to go un-anonymous an re introduce themselves for the year 2020 should bring new beginnings.

I joined old help when I was having marital issues and suffering from depression/PTSD (which was my contribution to the marital issues)

I swear that I didn't google this site. It just showed up one day in an email...I clicked and ended up on the site. It was "DIVINE INTERVENTION" lol :)Since then, my marriage improved. My emotional state improved. I got older and my little bitty kids that were sort of hard to deal with (with the emotional issues) got older.

During the time period of the old help, I also went back to school and used help extensively while I studied. I'd have the site up and banter every now and then with the members. Many of them knew me well and knew that when I needed a "brain break" I would banter (there was a chat room). I'm still friends with many of those folks. I've met some in real life

It seems like those who I bantered with and myself were among the few adults early on. I loved being able to read about the accounts of teen angst, while sympathizing with their plights. I'm certain that seeing what some teens on here were going through helped me to be a better and more aware parent.

I haven't come to this new site often; I don't really need help that much anymore...sometimes I just vent on here because I can't yell and cuss and scream in real life. Or whine and moan. So I do it here from time to time.

My real name is Jill. I had the nickname of Jelly bean or Jilly bean throughout my life.

One of the members on this site told me once that I was not really a jellybean...I was more "spicy" and started calling me Pepperjelly. It stuck to the point that my husband now calls me "Pep"

I'm a mom of four. With an extra (we took one in). I'm pretty conservative. I stay home (sort of)... and home school my kids. I have a master's degree and two bachelor's degrees...and had the loans to prove it...but it was a waste because I never really "used" those degrees outside the home :(

My oldest just turned 18 (son); my daughter is 17; my 2nd son is 14 and my last son is 7. The girl we took in just turned 18. I have wrapped myself up in "mommyhood" to a point where it's unhealthy for me, probably. My kids say that they appreciate me and that they think it was never "unhealthy" for them. They are great/say their lives are great/say that they want to be our friends for life/are good people who respect us. I'm amazed that after my past I was able to guide children the way I did. It's my proudest accomplishment.

My husband is a cop and that worries me more and more as he ages. I suppose I'm going to have to get a "real" job one of these days.

That's quite a life story :)

It's tough. I'm sorry

We have a male room mate who has lived with us for nearly 3 years.

We took in a young lady almost a year ago. She's my son's friend and was in a tough spot. We had room and took her in

She has caused ALL SORTS of issues with my room mate. The one who PAYS.

My other room mate had friends over recently. They were playing music semi loud...middle of the day.

She banged on his door and screamed about how he needed to stfu and said she would kick his ***ass; and his friend's too

Those folks who were visiting my male room mate were walking out the door when I came home. I heard the story

I ran outside and chased them down and apologized profusely. She knew I did this. She could see i was pissed at her

I told them to come back

Once all were in my living room, I said, "NOBODY will feel unwelcome here. Not the people who live here and not their friends who visit."
