Never met a dachshund I haven’t liked.
It’s so funny how she birthed one nepo baby who is a revelation (Mia Threapleton, in Phoenician Scheme) and another who missed the mark by miles (the son who wrote this mess).

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. It’s a nightmare and the authorities are so ill-equipped to deal with cybercrimes. You might try seeking power of attorney or something like that to get control of his funds?

A lady, running an in-person scam, got him to buy her a $30k new car (a man who never buy himself, his wife or kids a new car). He was about to write her a check for another $50k when my brother stopped him. Consulted with a lawyer who said itd be more expensive to fight in court than cut our losses

My dad was victim to a few of these romance scams. He too did not believe me. He lost (from what we tracked) $50k. We were still discovering money he sent scammers after moving him into a facility. We were able to cut him off from these people by confiscating his laptop, credit cards & smartphone.

That final 5 minutes? I was ugly crying in front of my colleagues. Needed the entire end credits to help collect myself, but then the end credits song kept making me sob.

Very sweet and thoughtful in her responses. Both she and Cynthia were so generous with their time.

Unpredictable in the best way.

Uhh… you don’t want that either. A musical cut - not sure if Prince songs are the ones in it tho - is floating around and I’m told from those who’ve seen it, it’s atrocious.

It’s confounfingly bad (and one part of it is downright irresponsible).
