My 80 yr old mom had her atm card stolen. The guy withdrew close to 5k in small dips over a week. He had the pin, so my guess is he watched her enter it then distracted her to swipe the card. Bank refuses to cover it, despite her reporting

Just to add my insignificant voice, I too was put off by the use of the word. I'm not familiar with the expression "pimp my ride" despite being American from birth. But I do know what a pimp is and it is a negatively, sexuall

Yes. I need 7.5 hours/night to have sufficient energy to be productive, but usually get 6.5-7. I sleep extra hours over the weekend and this resets me back to where I need to be feeling. Sundays are amazing. It's true that what I

Didn't see your email there. I'm in my 40s with 20 years experience in NYC. Applied to a handful of positions, but was politely turned away. I suspect age is a factor, but of course no way to prove it. I'm considering shaving
