I had the same issue while trying to freeze my credit with all 3 bureaus after Equifax had the big data breach a few years back. Transunion and Experian, no problem. Equifax insists I am not me after I am unable to answer questions about accounts I don’t have and addresses I did not live at.
I haven’t pulled my credit with them in a while though so I’m not sure about that. I assume they would continue to insist I am not me.

Please help this non coffee drinker!

I’m buying coffee for a gift. The shop gives a whole list of choices for how it could be ground. (Apparently every way to make coffee requires a different grind?) What should I choose when I don’t know how the recipient makes coffee?

Whole bean if they’re a coffee “fan” much at all. Otherwise, drip.

Thanks! I didn’t want to go whole bean just in case they don’t have a grinder. I figured anything else could make coffee, even if it isn’t ideal. Drip it is!

What would you add to a perfectly acceptable but pretty boring root veggie soup? Can add pretty much anything but dairy, onions, or garlic.

Current ingredients are: sweet potatoes, rutabaga, parsnips, basil, thyme, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, and a little ground beef.

Parmesan would be awesome but alas…that’s dairy.

Soy sauce or coconut aminos? Not a lot, just enough to give it the saltiness/umami

Maybe cannellini or other white beans?

Mushrooms or mushroom powder?

Yum, thanks! I have some coconut aminos and some mushrooms, I’ll start with the mushrooms and then add a little aminos if it needs more umami.

Would it be acceptable to request the option of pronoun flair? So like instead of “mile high club” I could have “she/her” if I so desired?

My neighbour yells at his 3 year old kid on pretty much a daily basis. This morning was a yelled countdown about getting dressed.

We are in a semi detached, there is a shared wall. I do not believe there is any physical violence, or that it has reached a level in which any authority would care.

Is there anything I can say or do to indicate that sounds travel and I don’t think their 3 year old will respond well to yelling if it hasn’t worked thus far?

Today I yelled part of the countdown because I am not doing well (work computer issues and I have been listening to this for 8 months). I don’t think he heard me, so I did was wake/startle the shadowy one.

(Child rearing books dropped at their front door? Knocking on the front door next time and asking if everything is ok? Banging on walls? A pointed comment next time I see the wife outside about a lot of big feelings in their house right now? Blaring loud music? Stfu and bite my tongue?)

ETA: please note parents, I get that kids cry, and parents get frustrated, but it’s 8 months basically daily

I actually really love this idea.

If the goal is peace and quiet, I think saying the walls are thin and you’re working from home and a polite request next time you see him outside is good. If the goal is to change the way they parent…I think moving would actually be easier. :grimacing: Child rearing books would be pretty passive aggressive and probably not well received, unless they are super open minded people. I also probably wouldn’t knock in the middle of it because if he’s already heated he might just turn that anger towards you in his mind and then become even more obnoxious.
