I opened two cards a little bit over a year ago. Capital One and Discover. Both were secured cards with $200 deposit and got a credit limit of 200. My credit score was around 570-600 at the time and as of today it's about 700-740.

- Capital One Quicksilver cash back card. I use the card all the time, pretty much anytime when I make a purchase it would be my credit card and rarely use my debit for any transactions. The first six months I would hit the limit(200) once or twice and I would pay it off in full before the statement gets sent over to the credit bureau so I could use it again. After about 6 months, I got my security deposit back and got an increase to $500.

With Discover it's been a different story.... after about 6 months I got my security deposit back ($200) but they did not give me a credit increase. I asked for an increase at the time and they declined because of some late payments from years ago when I wasn't "all there". I asked for an increase another time and got the same result and they sent me a mail with the reasons why and it's pretty much the same. I'm so confused at why would Capital One give me an increase and they didn't with Discover? Each month was paid off in full and I never leave a balance on the card.

Am I doing something wrong here?

It's been about a year now and It's been pretty much the same. I would use all my purchases with Capital One and Discover. Every time I reach the limit I would make a payment and then I would be able to purchase again with the card. **(Awesome feature with Capital One is that as soon as I make the payment, I am able to use the card immediately, the amount I paid is instantly counted towards the balance and funds are available instantly)

So what am I doing wrong?

Should I be leaving some sort of balance each month so it shows utilization?
Is it okay if I reach my limit and then pay it off and use it again and then right before it get's sent to the credit bureau I would pay it off in full.

What would be best to be able to get the maximum credit limit?

Thank you in advance

I went to check my account on capital one and my credit card account is no longer there?

I can see my old checking and savings account but the credit card account is not there.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Hey everyone,

I probably should have posted here before moving forward with more dental work, but better late than never.

A little background: I hadn't been to a dentist in over 10 years because of insurance issues. I know I should have gone sooner, but I finally got everything taken care of. Since then I've had several root canals, and my oral health has improved a lot—my gums are actually healthy and pink now.

At my very first appointment, my dentist recommended a crown on one of my upper front teeth. Ever since it was placed, I've felt like something looks off about it. To me, both the shape and the color don't match my other teeth. Honestly this bothered me and still does...

I went back and asked if anything could be done to improve it, and my dentist told me, *"That's as close as we can get it."*That answer didn't sit well with me because I thought crowns—especially on front teeth—could usually be customized to achieve a closer match. I went online and searched through many videos and seen lots of videos where the dentist was able to get it to shape so it would look like the surrounding teeth. I also tried asking her if there was a way to get my teeth whiter, which I think would of been a great idea before I got the bottom fixed bridge but looks like I'm stuck with this color for awhile 😩

I've attached several photos. My questions are:

• Does the crown look noticeably different from the neighboring front tooth?
• Is the shape something that could have been done better?
• Is the shade close enough, or does it appear mismatched?
• Is my dentist correct that this is about as good as it gets, or would you expect a better cosmetic result for a front tooth?

I'm actually making an appointment with another dentist for a second opinion because I'm also planning future dental work (I recently had a 6-unit lower fixed bridge placed from canine to canine), and I want to make sure everything is done as well as possible moving forward.

I'd really appreciate honest opinions—whether you think I'm being overly critical or whether you think my concerns are valid.

Thanks!

Side note about my fixed bridge:

One thing that has always confused me is that my dentist told me I needed two bone grafts before getting my permanent fixed bridge. I went ahead with the treatment, which cost me $700 per graft ($1,400 total), and then had to wait about two months for everything to heal.

During that time, I had to wear a removable denture everywhere I went. It was honestly one of the most embarrassing experiences because it was noticeable whenever I talked or smiled.

After everything was finished, I started researching bone grafts and found that they are commonly recommended before dental implants, but not typically for a traditional fixed bridge. That left me wondering why they were recommended in my case.

The bone grafts were done for teeth #24 and #25, but I still don't understand how they benefited the bridge or whether they were actually necessary.

#22 - $1350
#23 - $1350
#24 - $1350
#25 - $1350
#26 - $1350
#27 - $1350
#28 - $1350
Total = $8,100

2 bone grafts = $1400

Total for bottom permanent 6-unit fixed bridge = $9,500

I have dental insurance which covers 50% for major restorative so this knocked me to 4K. I guess I will find out when I go to my new dentist tomorrow, who is a general dentist/orthodontist... I should have done this first.

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me remove three old Facebook accounts and three old Instagram accounts.

I've spent countless hours trying to find a support email address, phone number, or live chat for Meta, but I haven't had any luck. Every recovery option I've tried ends with the same response: if I can't access the account, nothing can be done. I find that hard to believe. It seems like there should be an identity verification process, such as a live video verification with a government-issued ID, for situations like this.

The reason I need these accounts removed is because they contain things I deeply regret posting when I was younger. I even uploaded a photo of my driver's license, along with several embarrassing videos that I wish had never been posted. Looking back, I honestly don't know why I thought that was a good idea.

I've tried just about every method I could find.

I reported each account using multiple reporting options, including:

• "It's pretending to be someone else" → "Me"
• "It's pretending to be someone else" → "Someone I follow"
• "It's posting content that shouldn't be on Instagram" → "Spam"
• "It's posting content that shouldn't be on Instagram" → "I just don't like it"
• Every other reporting category available

I did the same thing for all three Facebook accounts and all three Instagram accounts, selecting every reporting option I could find.

Unfortunately, came back saying the accounts did not violate Meta's policies, so none of them were removed.

I also searched extensively for a way to contact someone at Meta directly to request identity verification so I could prove the accounts belong to me. As far as I can tell, there is no email address, phone number, or live chat available for this type of issue. I'm surprised that a company as large as Meta doesn't offer direct support for cases like this.

For some background, I created these accounts during a very difficult period in my life. Since then, my life has improved significantly.

At the time, I would create a new account, save the password in a password manager, and enable two-factor authentication. Unfortunately, I also used the same device for my authentication app. Over the years, my phones were lost, damaged, or replaced, and I eventually lost access to the password manager, the authentication codes, the email addresses, and the phone numbers associated with those accounts.

As a result, I now have:

• Three Facebook accounts, each tied to a different email address.
• Three Instagram accounts, each tied to a different email address.

I no longer have access to any of the email addresses or phone numbers associated with these accounts, making the standard account recovery process virtually impossible. At this point, I believe the only way to have these accounts removed is by contacting someone at Meta directly and completing an identity verification process to prove that I am the rightful account owner.

If anyone has successfully dealt with a similar situation or knows of a way to reach Meta or escalate a request, I would be incredibly grateful for any advice.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I know tvplans.org, tvpass, and thetvsubs.to are no longer accessible for free. I have a one month subscription with thetvsub.to and at first the subscription didn't work after the take down, however after a day or two everything is still running smoothly.

After the subscription expires, my guess is that I will no longer have access to it. I am unable to renew the subscription because those address are down. (thetvsubs.to)

Does anyone know what IPTV provider the sites were using that I could go to and resubscribe? I see a bunch of IPTV providers but would like to know the same exact ones thetvsubs.to is using.

Any IPTV provider that is similar to thetvsubs.to is great

Thanks in advance

There are special requirements for these careers. I am turning 38 this year and I've been doing a massive amount of research into many different fields that my community college offers. I want to get out of the warehouse type of work and atmosphere with all the slangs and profanity that's often used in that area of work.

I know that these three are very competitive and getting in usually means getting the highest grades possible in pre-res . Recently I completed CHM 114 - General Chemistry for Engineers at Arizona State University. Which is a 4-credit course and I finished with an A (93%).

Nursing -

1. Completion of Biology with B(83%) or higher
2. Completion of Chemistry with C(735) or higher
3. GPA of 2.7 or higher
4. Completion of TEAS with 60% in each section (Reading, Math, Science, and English)
5. One(1) recommendation form

RadioLogic Technology -

1. Completion of Anatomy & Physiology I and II with B(83%) or higher
2. GPA of 2.7 or higher
3. Three(3) recommendation form
4. Resume

Medical Laboratory Technology -

1. Completion of Biology with C(73%) or higher
2. Completion of Chemistry with C(73%) or higher
3. GPA of 2.5 or higher

What do you think will be the best path for me to go down? If any of these will matter about my age (turning 38 in a few months), working full-time (40 hours), Once I graduate which will help me get a job, Which will be most difficult to get into at community college, if it's hard to get into what would make things much easier, any anymore things that you would love to add that's great advice for me?

in conclusion, I am willing to go all in on this life changing decisions. I really want out of the warehouse atmosphere slang lingos. I don't want to start something then a year in think that I'm wasting my time. This is going to help me down the road for the rest of my life and I am ready to start this change now with all of your help.

Thank you in advance

I'm turning 38 later this year and I've looked into these two majors and my job pays full tuition. My community college is also free for all MASS residents.

At this age what would be a better to go into that will land me a job after two years? Associates in which of this would be better?

Thank you all in advance

Hey all,

So I am turning 38 this year. I work at a company that pays 100% for my tuition and also lives in a state (MASSACHUSETTS) where all community college is free. So I would be able to obtain my associates degree fully paid or even an associates transfer (that I can use to obtain a bachelors degree).

I'm in a dilemma right now and took a breather to look at everything and make sure the current path I am working is will be 100% achievable. I currently work 40 hours a week and I am currently enrolled at Arizona State University (online) for bachelors in electrical engineering. It requires 120 credits to complete B.S EE. I did the math and realistically without burning myself out I can take about 2-3 classes (6-9 credits) comfortably which would take approximately 4.5 - 6.5 years to complete.

I am turning 38 this year and I do not want to waste any more time. I went through a very rough time the last few years and do not want to start something and not be able to finish it. I currently work in the warehouse so I am wanting to do anything that gets me out the of warehouse type of work. I am very good with computers and very good with typing (around 90-100 WPM). I would say I love technology, however I open to everything because I really need to get out the warehouse environment.

I would like to know what's the current best associates degree to get right now that is not very competitive or let me try to ask this that would not be "difficult" to get into?

I was looking at the following careers and did my research for them and all these have special admission requirements such as Completion of college General Biology and Completion of high school or college Chemistry with a grade B or higher.

• Radiologic Technology (AS) - This was very interesting but have read that it's very competitive at community college and is hard to get into.
• Nursing (ASN) - Same as above but read that it's even harder to get into even with all the special requirements.
• Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) (AS)
• Electrical Engineering Technology (AS)
• Computer Science Secure Software Development (SSD)
• Mechanical Engineering Technology (AS)
• Cybersecurity (AS)
• Health Information Technology (AS)
• Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering (AS)
• Information Technology (AS)
• Network Management (AS)
• Forensic Accounting (AS)
• Associate of Science in Network Administrator
• Associate degree or certificate in Engineering Technology – CAD
• Certificate in Engineering Technology – Precision Machining
• Associate degree or certificate in Information Technology – Networking and support
• Associate degree or certificate in Digital Forensics

Thanks so much in advance and would love advice from everyone. I really would stay in the currently major I'm doing but every time I think of the 7 years and how my job pays for the school I get second thoughts. ONLY because I would say my job started clearing a department from our site and makes me wonder what if I was 2 years in and all of a sudden something happens and my department was the next to go, I would be stuck with just college courses and would have to pay for the rest of the way. My community college also (MCC - Middlesex Community College) offer associate degree in Engineering Science Transfer.

So I really just want something that has a stable pathway such as being able to take a career at community college and regardless of what happens at my job I would be covered fully for the tuition. SORRY for all the rant and long e-mail and I may have not even made sense a few times. I am pretty much saying I WANT OUT OF THE WAREHOUSE type of work and I am willing to go all in for this but really just want to make sure the path actually has steps for me on the way to the end and not be cut off somewhere down the path. If there is anything else that I did not list here please let me know, my community college has other majors.

THANK YOU!
