  • What is wrong with you Yahoo?

    I was locked out of my account, banned for a week yet we can tolerate a security breach after a security breach just happened in September?

    I have been a member of ya for 10 years. How can this happen? Isn't yahoo supposed to be one of the safest most secure places online?

    Technically speaking. Why do Gmail or other huge sites never see breaches like this?

  • Is anyone else getting spam calls from health insurance options or obamacare plans?

    I have health insurance through work. I don't need it.

    I did not sign up for this and am on the do not call registry.

    I received a text saying "Hi John, Thanks for your interest in new health insurance options. I'm here to make this process simple. Call me at (855) 995-5956. Txt STOP to OptOut"

    I did not reply.

    My phone has been flooded for 5 days with over 30 calls. As soon as I block a number, they call from another.

    And, they have filled my voicemail.

    I called Verizon Wireless who said tough luck change my number (after 18 years, no).

    How does this even atart? Anyone else having this issue?

  • Has Hulu gotten rid of their "Free" episodes?

    As of August 24, 2016, I went to watch Modern Family. I just watched it yesterday and there were free episodes. They are now all locked unless I pay.

    Same with all shows that used to be free without paying, Family guy had episodes, Shark Tank, and so on. I am logged in. Are they charging for ALL shows now?

  • Engine stall, check ight, no code?

    I'm a single mom working 13 hours and also taking care of a single child plus a mom with cancer.

    Needless to say, my car has come 4th.

    It was inspected a month ago and passed. No lights no problems. It started sputtering and I thought I had a bad tank of gas. I put in a bottle of Lucas, another, then another. After three tanks the check engine light came on.

    If I turn off the ac it's ok. If I turn on the lights, ac, and radio, it shuts off the car.

    I took it to auto zone today and they plugged it in. The meter said 0 of 0. Meaning no code. I have driven it over 100 miles with check engine on.

    I am forced to work 13 hours tomorrow or lose my job. How bad is it to be driving this?

    Dodge stratus 50k miles. Thanks

    I then deleted the entire conversation and deactivated my account. This person told me they still got the messages. How is this possible? Thanks.

  • Why does Verizon Wireless have to scam when it comes to rebates?

    I purchased a brand new Samsung 5 months ago. Sent in crystal clear photos of the ESN, receipt and so on so I could receive the rebate card I was entitled to. Jumped through all their hoops to make sure everything was perfect. Even used a scanner to scan in large photos.

    Checked the status of this rebate for months. It never showed. Today, I spoke with a rep online who stated the promotion is over. Then he backtracked and states he needs a copy of my contract agreement and to have a nice day. I asked where to send this? He gave me what seems like a fake email address.

    Also, I asked where to find my contract agreement and he told me I need to go to a store and ask for it, scan it in (the rep apparently is psychic and knows I have a scanner), and email it to them.

    Has anyone else been scammed like this? I have been a customer since age 18, no lie, my first phone was a Nokia and I am a 20 year customer about to cancel. Ideas?

  • Kids at the lunch table are gross?

    I am explaining this as a parent who sends a child to school every day with money for lunch.

    She skips her entire lunch or throws it away since her table of kids likes to mix food such as ketchup with jello and they eat it or act like they are "throwing it back up" just to be gross.

    What I have now, is a child who does not eat lunch and wastes food. She comes home and sometimes has 3 to 4 sandwiches or 5 pieces of pizza then is sick from overeating. She's only 55 lbs.

    I want to help her but the tables are assigned. She is gaining weight from starving then bingeing also and I'm throwing away money. The kids are in 5th grade. Help?

  • What if the Facebook "trending" section opened in "Science and Technology"?

    Do you think we would have a lot more educated and intelligent people walking around talking about the SpaceX rocket launch or new Apple Watch instead of talking about Beyonce's new trashy album or Kim and Prince on video (the top trend for a third day in a row.)?

  • What to do about someone who just shows up at parties?

    I am having a party tomorrow for an older friend. A very large group of people are going.

    He does not like one girl who is part of the group. I do not like her either as she is a loud alcohic who starts fights with everyone and needs to be the center of attention.

    He said do not invite her. However, this is a public place and she knows we go there every Wednesday. She will just sit down and treat herself to his birthday cake which I bought. What can I do?

  • Why does my daughter do everything her stepmom asks of her?

    If her stepmom of 5 years asks her to do anything (sit up straight, turn off your video game) she does it immediately.

    I am still a single mom. I ask her (in the same tone) to do something and I am met with sighs, eye-rolls, and defiance.

    I just told her to please let me have a minute to change and locked my door. She has pounded on the door and held on to the door knob for the past 5 minutes. This is an 11 year old. I did not give in, but if this were the other household, she would have just walked away.

    Why is step-mom a more effective parent?

  • What do you do when someone out-gifts you?

    I did not really even know my neighbor and I were exchanging presents.

    I left home-baked cookies on her porch plus a card. She turned around later and gave me a $10 gift card plus a box of chocolates which was way over the top considering we barely know each other.

    Now, I feel bad. What can I do?

  • Pillsbury sugar cookies, precut, hard as rocks?

    I baked them exactly as the directions said 10-15 minutes and they are hard as rocks. Actually quite humiliating as I have to take them to a party.

  • My child is obsessed with sugar, help?

    For one, I do not restrict and have not restricted sweet food. Ever. She is 11. I eat very healthy and jog.

    Yesterday, we were shopping. I asked her to please come pick out food. She stood in the candy aisle not listening to me and touching all the chocolate saying please please just let me have them all!!!!

    I had a talk with her about how she needs to help me pick out real food and stop drooling over sweets. The next aisle, she was onto the bakery while I was picking out frozen chicken.

    When we got home, she begged me to bake cookies. When I woke up this morning, she begged me to bake cookies before my feet hit the floor.

    There are christmas cookies in the cupboard and she begs every hour to have one. She ate three chicken nuggets yesterday and when I told her she had to have more to have a cookie later, she flipped. Should I throw them all out? Why is she so obsessed?

  • Please help me with my neighbor, left the country and came back?

    My neighbor is Pakistani. He is married and his mother fell ill. He left and was to never return to America leaving two children and his wife.

    His wife is my age, sweet, and we get along. She does not have a job and said she needed to apply for welfare until she found one.

    She had a form stating that her husband is no longer in the household. I signed it as a witness. It did not ask for my address, ssn, phone, nothing.

    Well, two months later, I see that he just came back to America and she did not tell me a thing. I am calling Welfare immediately and reporting him back in the household. Can I get in trouble if she lied?

  • Was my neighbor in jail? Help?

    My neighbor and I share a rented house. Ever since he has moved in, he has been a loud drunk at all hours.

    He kicked the door downstairs in once and I had to call police. He is also driving on a suspended license.

    My landlord and I are sick of him. He disappeared for 10 days but his car was still here. His docket sheet says he ran a stop sign. He just came back and all the court records say is that he has a hearing for his stop sign offense in 2 weeks.

    Was he in jail? I just want him gone. Thanks.

  • Neighbor lied to police and got away with it, what now?

    I share a rented house with a man who is Nigerian. Because of this, I can not understand his accent when he speaks so there is a language barrier.

    I have told him many times to please stop being loud and slamming the door all night. He is a new tenant. However, he kicked his own door (or broke it) in the middle of the night a few weeks ago.

    Being that I live above, I called police since I thought someone was breaking in. I couldn't tell if someone was kicking my door in or his. When police arrived, he opened his non-broken door and they asked what he was doing. He said he locked himself out and kicked his door down. The officer told him he is waking up neighbors and he said "no no, I don't believe you".

    They took his license and made a police report. My landlord said there is no evidence of broken anything and he was just drunk and kicking things.

    Police let him go with no charges. Now, he is loud every night and slams that same door off its hinges when he leaves. There is a crack above the door frame in the wall from all the slamming. No one will do anything because this town is 96 percent white and they are afraid of being "racist". Thoughts on this?

  • Is there any help for a 10 year old with OCD?

    She has been diagnosed with OCD by a professional. The Psych then told me her case was too much for her.

    She has dual-OCD with fear of contamination and also needs to know where we are going at all times. She needs to know how long a trip to the store will take, has to check the clock, rushes me through the store, and if we do not leave on an :00 or a :30 she makes my day a nightmare. She says I am poisoning her and refuses medication so I have to force it on her.

    She asks every morning if we have to go anywhere and starts having panic attacks. She also questions her pills all day and asks if they are the same ones I gave her yesterday and tries to hide them. Will any therapist help with this? I am shocked two have dropped her case already. Ty.
