My child is studying abroad for 110 days. I know that is 20 over what Google Fi allows. Any way around this? She'll be in Greece.

Or any suggestions on what else to try?

Not sure how to proceed. I traveled to Brasil in June, since returning to USA my phone is stuck on international dialing (have to add +1 to all phone calls). Not a huge deal, but a pain to say the least. I have already gone through all the steps here: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6202294?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DiOS#zippy=%2Cstep-contact-google-fi-support%2Cstep-check-ios-apn-settings

Also contacted Fi to reset on their end and I still have no fix. Anyone help?

Think I decided to make the jump to a Kindle - prefer paperwhite. I have never had one so don't think I'll know the difference or really care which year, although I'd love the 6.8-7 inch.

Any idea how often Woot replenishes stock? Happy to wait a bit to get a refurbished one.

I trust that by writing here, redditors will be supportive in my sensitive time. I will include a little story behind where I am, without a ton of detail. My trust is that others will not question the story, as it is 100% verified by me. I have no doubts on the validity of the occurrences. I am just looking for support in the end.

A few years ago, my partner started to feel an emotional pull towards another individual. They held this for a bit, but ultimately brought it to me. We had, up to that point been 100% in a monogamous mindset. However, after many conversations, I felt a sense of compersion that cannot be denied.

Life unfolded and we had some very stressful moments that brought our relationship together closer than ever. I am very grateful for what we have, but still feel open (and even pulled toward) polyamory.

My partner is traveling, and ran into the person they had an emotional relationship with. They immediately informed me, and after a quick "oof" feeling, I fell back into supporting them. Felt compersion and everything they were also feeling (confusion, frustration, a bit of excitement) - they were very honest with me. I feel very cared for and respected in this manner. We spoke again this morning, to get an update on how I was feeling and how they are feeling. I was again, able to show support and even urge them to try to overcome the frustration portion of their feelings so this time didn't go to waste. The 3rd party has reached out to see if they'd be interested in catching up.

I told them to try to stay out of their head with this, to let the time flow and if the opportunity feels right, to take it. That they deserve love and respect ad admiration, and sometimes we don't get to plan for that. I 100% feel this.

Not sure how much more to go into the story... it is what it is and it is 100% completely true. My partner is also traveling with some individuals who are aware of the situation and the conversations we have had, and they are in support of her in this manner. Even told them it was a great time to meet because they looked good.

After our conversation I got hit with a "what if it gets physical" thought, and that has grounded and stalled me. We haven't had a ton of conversations about that, we agreed to 100% brutal honesty about everything, but I feel torn. I am not happy with the way this feels, it feels limiting and very possessive. Seems I am ok with the emotional part, because that has been present, but wasn't ready for the possibility of physical. They had expressed in the past that the connection wasn't physical, and we didn't really broach that topic right now (I really don't feel a phone conversation is right for it... and feel that it would put them too much in their head right now. We have been through so much, family illness, family death, debt, job changes... and I just want them to be able to "Be").

What work can I do on my end? I don't really have a ton of support outside of them in this. They do. The folx they are with and also another friend. I am not proud, but I also checked their device at home and saw that they told another friend about it, but they also deleted some messages in that thread. It has me reeling about what they might have told them... did they tell them about arousal, or more...

Any suggestions?

I know it is a 4 quarter (sometimes more) game, but feels like the 3rd quarter is really hurting us. I think we've lost 4 out of 6 of the 3rd quarters, but have won a vast majority of the others. Problem is we lose the 3rd bad :(

I remember during the season, I listed "3rd quarter 2025-2026" Pistons as one of my favorite piston teams of all times.... not so much now.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get a Brazilian passport issued through the Consulate (Chicago jurisdiction), and I’m running into a really frustrating documentation loop and hoping someone has dealt with something similar.

My situation:

• I was born in Brazil and still legally registered there under my maiden name
• I live in the U.S. and got married 25 years ago, so all my current U.S. IDs are under my married name
• My Brazilian records (passport, RG) are old and expired (over 20 years)
• I also have an apostilled marriage certificate from the U.S.

Problem:

The consulate is rejecting my passport application because:

• My Brazilian identity is still in my maiden name
• My U.S. IDs are in my married name
• They are saying the names must match or there must be a properly registered name change in Brazil

I need to register my marriage to register the name change.

BUT.......

They also said I cannot register my marriage in Brazil right now because I don’t have a valid Brazilian ID, which creates a kind of circular problem:

• need ID to register marriage
• need marriage registration to update name
• need matching name to get passport

So Can't get a passport without updating my name, but can't update my name without a passport (or ID).

I have been dealing with this nightmare for about a month and a half. There is no phone number/WhatsApp available, and emails take FOREVER to get responses (if I get any at all)

Any real experiences or advice would be really appreciated. I’m trying to resolve this quickly due to upcoming travel. I started this process well within the timeframe suggested and am now running very close to a deadline.

Thanks in advance.

Apologize if this isn't allowed, feel free to remove if this breaks rules:
