Had an old lady ask to help her take something down from a top shelf. I'm very tall (6'7) and after I get her the item she says "you are very tall, not to worry you, but my husband says tall people don't live very long" then made her way to the tills. Not sure why she felt the need to say that but here we are. Has anyone else had back handed compliments like that?
Hi everyone, I need to replace my driver side(right) headlight on my 2021 AWD ER Mach E.
Looking at some online research, it says I need to fully remove the front bumper but I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has done this to get some real life experience. I've removed the trunk bin so can get a good look inside and behind the faulty headlight but don't really want to take the whole bumper off unless absolutely needed! Any advice would be really appreciated.
I'm equally interested in anyone who could do this job for me in the Northamptonshire, South Leicestershire or Warwickshire area within the next week.
I'm 24 and am feeling really low.

In 2024 I finished university with good grades and was going to go straight into my lifelong dream job. But then my Maternal Grandfather passed away in April last year. It broke me. I was quite close with my Grandfather and shared similar passions of history, chess (he taught me how to play), music and film. I have always struggled making friends (I made no friends in Uni at all) and I felt like he was that to me during and before that period. After that my Paternal Grandfather (I will call him Grandpa to stop confusion) fell over and spent 6 months in and out of hospital. I visited him regularly with my Dad. While he was in hospital we realised that my Auntie (dads sister) was abusive to my grandpa and taking advantage of him financially. I think 2025 I must have spent 9 months going in and out of the hospital to see my Grandfathers.
​
While this was going on my friends from College who I used to hang out with have all moved on with their lives. One has moved to a big city for a good job, one has got married and moved in with his partner, one has had a child and moved in with their girlfriend. This left me alone with no Girlfriend, no friends and no support throughout this ongoing difficult time.
​
All the horrible shit that happened to me also delayed me getting the job I wanted leaving me with no job for several months with little money left. Thankfully I recently got a retail job (which has its own difficulties but is better than nothing). Last month my grandpa was officially diagnosed with dementia and his in a care home. I still visit him but less than I would like because of work.
​
I just feel so lonely and pathetic. I never have had a girlfriend, have no friends to speak of and quite frankly hate how my life has developed. I recently decided to try dating apps to see what that's like. I get no matches at all. This has just made me feel worse about my already low self esteem and I don't know what to do for the best. My head is all over the place. I feel like because of how hectic and horrible last year I needed to catch up on everything I have missed in my life.

(M/24) I am looking for a girlfriend but really struggling on all my apps. It's making me feel like I am ugly so I really want good advice please. Not stupid comments just saying your photos are bad with no feedback/advice.
​
Yes I did just post this but people were saying my photos are not clear.
​
Thanks
Can I share my profile with someone and can they give your honest opinion. I did this a month ago on tinder sub Reddit and got absolutely ridiculed and it really messed with my confidence. Most of the comments were just calling me stupid and gave me no feedback.
It was my 24th birthday today. None of my 'friends' noticed. I made no friends in uni even though I tried to. I have tried many different clubs (2 rock climbing clubs and youth groups) with no luck. I have no luck with women either. I see attractive but don't have the courage or feel embarrassed to speak to them. I have also started dating apps with no real luck. I recently started a job (about a week ago) which has taken away the opportunity for me to go to any clubs/groups in the evening. I also keep having the same dream about dying alone that keeps me awake at night. This is not what I had planned for my life. I don't know what to do
This is quite complex and long but I will try to keep it short and precise. Last year my Grandfather had a series of falls. The first time in July he was in hospital for 3 weeks and then came back home. He was home for about a week when he fell over again. He was in Hospital for 3 months, then went to a specialist care centre over Winter and then about 2 months ago to a Care home. About 2 weeks ago he was diagnosed with mixed Dementia. During this my Auntie started acting strange. She lives in my Grandfather's house and started to sell things such as his drum kit, bed, spending his money from his account and threatening to sell his car. As well as verbally abusing my Grandfather. As he was clearly not mentally capable my father and Auntie had started the process of a deputyship. As part of that we were told not to sell any of his assets or use any of his money. (Which she has already broken). As part of the deputyship we also had to produce my Grandfather's will. About winter 2023 my Grandfather changed his will that my Auntie is an executor (my father isn't). We now learned that Will gives all my Grandfathers assets including his house and money to her. My father was always told by my grandparents it would be a 50/50 split. My father had tried everything even before knowing my grandfather's diagnosis and will. He has told the social care services, the police and the hospital about my Auntie being abusive to my Grandfather which has been ignored until about 2 weeks ago when the Doctor at the dementia phoned my father telling him he had to refer him to the police under safeguarding. The police then talked to my father. They said there wasn't enough evidence The same day. The social services have now contacted my dad which is still ongoing but we are all quite disheartened by the police lack of effort. What can we do? I know this is a lot to take in (believe me I know) but we are not sure of the best actions to protect my Grandfather from her and stop her getting hold of everything.
All my friends from uni/college have moved away, got married etc and I can't get anyone out. I have tried a place called the lowdown and it wasn't really for me. I don't know what else to try. I have tried to find some with my interests (basketball, rock climbing) but none of them seem to be for adults or have no contact details.
