Long time lurker here. Not exactly about AP but more like aunts and grandparents, and I am sure a lot of yall here have been in a similar situation as me. As a woman in my late 20s, I somehow managed to be the only person who is single among all my cousins and younger aunts/uncles. Everyone else is either happily engaged or married. I don’t go to family gatherings often but whenever we do have lunch or dinner together I feel the unease; yes, you know the deal about “wHeRe Is mY gRandSon-iN-law?!””why are you still coming alone??”
This year is the worst so far as the cousins younger than me all have their SO. When I greeted my relatives they didn’t even bother to ask about how I’ve been, they just flat out asked why didn’t I bring a boyfriend, told them that I needed to “Hurry up” because “nobody wants a woman in 30s”. They used to say how they are proud of me for my academic performance, now they said I spent too much time in study work and I “must have isolated myself and lived my life as two-point-one-line”. One of my grandparent flat out told me this is my last warning “You have to find a man within this year” otherwise he’s going to me sign up for those local chinese match making services (which costs a LOT imo and completely not something I would use).
I just feel so defeated and annoyed. Nobody cares about me but wants to not “lose face” because their niece or granddaughter is not getting married. They don’t know what I like to do, what I am doing. I don’t even bother to explain to them that I have my own plan and I have a very different idea about how a SO would be like if I ever want one. The more I try to explain the more they are going to pressure me. A few of my family members actually tried to defend me but we all got bashed out lol.
Sorry for the long rant. I don’t know how should I even feel about them.

Hi! I received an email asking me to choose a new design for my Discover credit card for my replacement card “before your card expires”. But I still have 4 months left before the card expires. When I checked the mobile app, it also says “Card status: expiring”. Is this normal?

Greetings! I’ve been seeking God for a year, and I would love to study the Bible on the daily basis. I do appreciate the beauty of archaic languages, and I am willing to do research for fuller historical context to help me understand. PS: I also love academic readings.

So far I have three translation versions: I use NRSVUE on Bible app for my daily reading routine, I have an OSB to cross reference and study the notes on this study bible, I recently just received a KJV The Woman’s Study Bible by Thomas Nelson. I have a mobile app called Logos Bible so it helps when I am reading two translations side by side sometimes. I have also started learning Biblical Greek.

Now with the Bible and tools I have, would you please give me any suggestions on any Bible Study Plan or something similar so I can make sure I study in a structured manner, preferably with a theme?

Thank you very much :)

Hey everyone. Several days ago I posted some questions about Jury Duty (Eastern District Federal). Today is the date I am supposed to start calling in for instructions. I called after 5pm. But when I called, there was only busy tone. Has anyone else experienced this before?

Edit: fixed typos

Hi there. I just did my first cold diagnostics (timed) on Lawhub and got a 154. I don’t have any law-related background (my BA is not related to law at all) but lately I’ve been thinking about learning more about law, so I looked up and did the test. Now I want to see if I can improve my score as I start working on it. I just got myself a Kaplan Premium Prep, but is there any good recommendations or resources for any online classes that also fits with work schedule?(I heard people talked about 7sage, blueprint prep, etc.) Thank you for any suggestions! :)

Hi everyone! Does anyone here know if you can bring phone with you when you report to the jury duty (Eastern District Federal), or should you leave it at home or in the car? I read the instruction where it says any electronic devices are not allowed in assembly room and court please don’t bring them, but is there anyway to check in a phone upon arrival (because it’s needed for commute)? And do you need to call the hotline everyday after 5pm (including weekends), or just weekdays, to check if you need to go in next day for two-week period? Thank you for any help!
