I'm trying to find out if there is any way to keep my bedridden mom's debt collectors at bay. I lost my job around xmas, pretty sh*tty that I got laid off for taking care of my dying mother. Anyhow, I would rather work when I can than collect UI. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever been in a situation where they had to spend all their time caring for a sick parent, and pay their bills as well as their own. Is their any temporary relief I'm unaware of?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

That's rough, man.
Bankruptcy is about the only thing that will stop debt collectors, but if her health is that bad, it may not be worth the effort.
Good luck, regardless.

My best friend's mom was terminally ill due to cancer last year. He got a bursary from his house at the university for about 2000$. If you're a student, it's probably the best thing to do.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Blessings and prayers to you, man. What you are doing is the right thing, and you know that. **** everything else.

If it's any consolation, i'm going through something similar. My mom has a condition of the nerves where her muscles basically give her pain all the time.
She can't work because of this and I've been looking for a job for 6 months but no one wants to recruit a 16 year old with no experience, especially with the way the economy is.
