[REQ] $50 for groceries and bus fare (Los Angeles, CA)

Hello,
I am reaching out to see if anyone might be able to assist me with $50 to cover groceries and bus fare through the weekend.
I am currently working as a Behavior Interventionist in Los Angeles, but I have hit a temporary financial shortfall while managing my budget and expenses. I rely on the municipal bus system for my daily commuting, and these funds would go directly toward ensuring I have food and can travel for the next few days. I have secured unemployment benefits that will begin arriving next week, but I am currently in a tight spot for this weekend.
I have completed the subreddit registration process. I am happy to provide any necessary verification or documentation if requested. Thank you for your time and for any consideration.

I have also put together a modest Amazon wishlist for basic groceries if that is easier for anyone to help with: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/E2E3U4CU3NW8?ref_=wl_share

Can anyone verify if these 2025 NeeDoh Advent Calendars are authentic?

Hi everyone! I’m hoping some collectors can help me verify these.
I received several 2025 NeeDoh 24 Days of Surprises Advent Calendars through Walmart Marketplace return inventory. I’ve had mixed feedback—some people think they’re authentic, while others believe they may be counterfeit.
They don’t appear to have a UPC printed on the box, which made me curious. I also have a Walmart return receipt identifying the item as a Schylling NeeDoh Advent Calendar.
I’ve included photos of the outside, inside artwork, and the contents of one opened calendar.
If anyone owns a confirmed authentic 2025 calendar, could you compare these photos and let me know if anything looks different? If you think they’re counterfeit, what specific details make you think so?
I’ve also heard genuine boxes may glow under a UV/black light. Has anyone confirmed whether that’s actually true for the 2025 calendars?
Thanks for any help!

[HIRING] Budget: $150 – Looking for an Artist for My Original Character

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for an artist to help me finalize the design of my original character. I’ve been developing her for a while, and I’m ready to have a professional artist create the definitive version.

Her name is Sienna Vale. She’s 30 years old, 5’1”, and has a genuinely petite build. One thing that’s really important to me is keeping her proportions natural for someone her height. She has big dark curly hair, warm brown eyes, light freckles, and a warm, friendly smile. Lavender is her signature color.

I’m looking for someone who enjoys drawing expressive characters and can capture a kind, approachable personality. I want her to look like someone people would instantly like and remember.

My budget is around $150 USD, depending on the artist and what’s included. If you’re interested, please leave a link to your portfolio or send me a message with your commission information.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to working with someone who enjoys character design as much as I do.

Elderly woman found Tamar/jeffers hill

Hello,

This woman was found near Tamar and nest side ct by some of my neighbors. The police were called but they haven't been able to identify her, she has stated her name is Gale.

If you know her please call Howard county police. She was walking so could not have gotten far.

Edit: 10:00 pm. There is an ambulance taking care of her and the police have a lead on a family member.

Edit: 9am, they found a family member and where she lives. I'll be deleting this post this afternoon. I can't take the picture down without removing the whole post, but feel it disrespectful to leave the picture up forever.

SSA says my benefits were suspended in October 2025, but they kept paying me until 2026. No notice. Has anyone seen this before?

I'm trying to understand what's going on with my Social Security benefits.
This week my SSA account suddenly showed:
• Benefits suspended
• Overpayment balance of $14,469.50
• $0.00/month being withheld
The strange part is that I never received an overpayment notice or suspension notice in my SSA Message Center.
On May 6, 2026, my SSA account was showing an ACTIVE status and a scheduled June 2, 2026 payment.
I also checked my account on May 21 and everything appeared normal.
Then after Memorial Day, the account suddenly switched to suspended.
Today I generated a Benefit Verification Letter and it says:
"Benefits were suspended beginning October 2025."
What I don't understand is:
If my benefits were suspended beginning October 2025, why was SSA still paying me for months afterward and showing a future payment scheduled for June 2026?
I receive benefits as a disabled dependent on my father's earnings record, not based on my own retirement credits.
Other details:
• No overpayment explanation notice in Message Center
• No suspension notice in Message Center
• No mailed notice received yet
• Medicare still active
• Congressional inquiry already submitted
Has anyone experienced SSA claiming benefits were suspended months earlier while continuing to pay benefits? If so, what ended up happening?
I'm mainly trying to figure out whether this sounds like an SSA processing error, a delayed suspension, or something else.

EarnIn wants me to route my paycheck through Lead Bank first? Normal?

Has anyone else had EarnIn ask them to route their paycheck through a Lead Bank account before getting advances?

I connected my Varo account and now it wants me to agree to terms where my direct deposit first goes to a Lead Bank account, then transfers to my Varo account automatically.

This feels way more invasive than apps like Dave, Brigit, or MoneyLion. I’ve never had another cash advance app ask me to reroute my payroll like this.

Questions:
• Did you do it?
• Did your paycheck arrive normally/on time?
• Any delays or issues?
• Did your advance limit increase afterward?
• Is it worth it or should I avoid it?

I’m mainly worried about paycheck delays since rent is due soon.

Looking for old 401ks

Hey! Quick question, do you know which old 401(k) provider your previous employer used? Trying to track one down ASAP. Here are some common ones I’ve found:

• Fidelity Investments 401k
• Empower.com 401k
• Vanguard 401k
• ADP Retirement Services (ADP.com) 401k
• Principal Financial Group 401k
• Charles Schwab Workplace Retirement
• T. Rowe Price Retirement Plans 401k
• Human Interest 401k

Also, if your current employer offers a 401(k) match, definitely try to contribute enough to get the full match. It can seriously help grow and potentially double your retirement savings over time.

Was in Little Tokyo and just wanted something sweet, ended up grabbing a custard cream puff from Nijiya Market.

Not even gonna lie, this surprised me.

Thing was huge and completely filled, like every bite had custard. None of that empty shell with a little cream in the middle. Shell had a nice light crisp to it too.

Only $2.99 which is kinda crazy for LA, feels like this would easily be $4 or $5 somewhere else.

If you’re around Little Tokyo and just want a quick dessert, this is a solid pickup.
