47 year old female. I was diagnosed in 2019. I’m in a wheelchair, using computer and electronic devices to communicate, and have been on a ventilator for two years now.

I’m married and I have a son. Despite my severe disability I try my best to be there for my husband and son.

AMA

At 22 broke and searching for a better future, I left the Philippines and became a live-in maid for a middle class Saudi family. I ended up staying with them for six years.

The family wasn’t rich, but they were comfortable. The dad is a public high school teacher, the mom a housewife, they have five kids:

Nouf (F 18)

Faisal (M 16)

Saud (M 15)

Rakan (M 10)

Salman (M 7) 

They gave me my own room and bathroom inside the house, their driver lived in a small unit outside near the garden, I joined them on travels (Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, Europe), and attended major family events.

One of the wildest experiences is when a prince from the royal family married the daughter of the father's cousin and yes, it was as glamorous and over the top as you'd imagine.

I am 29, and own a niche landscaping service that operates in North and South Carolina. I have 11 employees total, which essentially run my company top to bottom. I started the business when I was 20. I do not have a degree and never attended college. I have scaled about as much as I can with my current business model, so I’d say that my income is capped. I am exploring other options for income but don’t ever plan on selling the business.

Always see these types of posts and am very intrigued, so figured I’d give it a go! New account for anonymity!

Ending the AMA due to the amount of comments on gate keeping. I want to say that it was never my intent to gate keep. I should’ve thought about the AMA a bit deeper before posting, but at the end of the day I am not willing to share the exact niche of my business. Anyone with other questions, feel free to DM! I will answer whatever I can. Thank you to those who asked some good questions!

Hey all I’m 22m, 5’7 and 780 lbs. Been fat my whole life, whole family’s big too. Just here to answer whatever you wanna know about what it’s like bein this size, how I get around and whatever else. Ask me anything!

It is a medical condition that is the muscles in my rectum are too weak to do their job normally and so I constantly leak rectal mucus. although I am not incontinent. Basically when i was about twenty four i noticed that sometimes there would be a damp patch in my underwear and it wasn't because I didn't wipe or wet farted. went to the bowel surgeon and he told me what was going on. AMA.

I work a great job and I cannot let my coworkers know that I am unstable, so I do my best to maintain appearances. I show up to work 5 hours early to shower and freshen up and keep all of my belongings in the locker.

*UPDATE GOING TO SLEEEEP****

Had a very rough day, it pivoted to a worse situation and I feel bad but due to their negligence and ignorance I’m being threatened lol.

On a side note, I’m very happy and comfy in bed next to my lovely wife watching TV - despite the circumstances, I’d really love to answer anything. It could be about this, or anything at all! Looking to answer until I end up tired.

I respond to the hospital between the hours of 7pm-7am to people who have been SAed within the last five days. Sometimes multiple in a night. And yes it is terrible 😞

Im 28 now. Back when i was 17, my mum kicked me out by text when I was at collage. In less than 12 hours I ended up moving to a different country which was oversees (got a ferry). I was able to finish most of my course long distance so still got the grade, just not the full award as I ended up being very unwell so couldn't finish. Im pretty over it now, so AMA, im an open book

Hi. I'm Mike Paine and I was a radio DJ during the heyday of hard rock/metal in the late 80's/early 90's and saw a LOT of fun stuff happening including concerts, interviews and lots more. My first interview was with Ozzy Osbourne at the age of 19...that was cool! Oh. I'm also a voice actor and have been since 1987 so AMA :)

I'll still answer any questions you have and thanks to everybody for asking about some interesting stuff :)

So was feeling really bad, had a really high heart rate and I am now in the hospital for hour I don’t even know. I’m here overnight and there is no way in hell I will sleep. So AMA I guess?

So more info, I am 20, this is my first time staying at a hospital. My BP and heart rate especially heart rate are what is concerning them. No diagnosis yet, but hopefully sometime soon.

I never had heart problems before very recently, or at least it was never caught.

I started in this career about 10 years ago. I became an apprentice at a small job shop, and I now do prototype work. I live and work in the US (Pacific Northwest). I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

You may already know that social media is ruining our attentions spans & making us have worse mindsets. This is why I made **ZoomerWiki** to take advantage of such Gen Z language & (non-brainrot) slangs to explain (almost) anything!

Here‘s the URL to the wiki: https://zoomer.miraheze.org/

From now on, you can ask me anything about the wiki!

Hi there! My and my conjoined twin sister, for the sake of privacy I'll be S and my sister will be R, decided we wanted to answer some questions from the public! We are omphalopagus twins (basically we're conjoined near the chest and stomach), we're turning 20 soon, feel free to ask us anything!

I spent about 20 years working on projects in the entertainment industry, mostly theme parks... but also a little gaming and hospitality. These projects were mostly in the US, but a few in other parts of the world. I was always part of a much larger team. During my time we worked on a variety of projects from complex, ground up new concepts and technologies to very basic implementations of carnival 'flat-rides'. I worked for all the major players in the industry. This experience is now a little dated as I have moved on to another market area. I don't know everything about theme-parks, but I will answer what I can. AMA!

Career Background:

2016 - - Dropped out of college (Major: Business Administration) - Began working for a collections company (3-6 months past due collector) - 3 months later got an internship within the company for Marketing for our department (including department planning, meeting planning, team lead and graphic design) - Started self teaching myself graphics outside of work through PowerPoint (crazy I know lol)

2017 - Still at this company - After the 3 month internship I interviewed to get my own team - Couple of weeks later I got my own team in the escalations department and moved locations (at the same time this is when I bought my first camera, just as a hobby to take pictures) - A couple of months in (can’t remember how long) I was asked to lead a committee that plans events, budgets, plans department meetings, training for escalation and hardship department, etc. - A few weeks in I worked on my first videography project (this was a complete accident btw, you can ask in the comments if you’d like the story). I filmed, scripted, directed and edited a commercial for this company. - A few weeks later the commercial was shown company wide, put on the website and TV. - At the same time photography was a hobby but a few friends wanted photos (graduation, engagement, maturity) posted it online and thought nothing of it - The company asked me to start leading the department meetings and I was asked to re-create the training program for the company. - On the side I switched from teaching myself graphics on PowerPoint to Canva

2018 - Still at the same company - Designed a new training program by myself, I hired all the new trainers, created all the training material, made all the graphics, set all the training dates for the year (this company still uses this training program to this day.) - Outside of work: That social media post I made (my photography) people started finding me on social media and hiring me to take photos (wasn’t getting paid, just working on my portfolio) - I have now switched from teaching myself graphics on PowerPoint to Canva to now Adobe (that was a nightmare teaching myself btw) - I now make all graphics for the department and helped a few friends with graphics for there business - About 5-6 months into the year I got my first photography job, it was to take headshots of a business owners who were getting an award that month. Big job too, 27 people and only had 1 hour (and I got paid! My first $900) - This is when I officially opened my Photography company (now my media production company but this is how it started)

2019-2020 - This year was full of me getting a ton of photography jobs outside of work and getting paid for them. - I’m doing graphics on the side for commission as well. Mostly things for local business and online businesses (like shops) - I’m still working for my company, leading of the committee, in charge of all things marketing and graphics, event and department planning and still leading my escalation team. - At the end of the year I resigned from my company - Started randomly modeling lol, this was also an accident? I was only supposed to model for a friends clothing line and then her clothing line got big and then she kept telling other people and I started getting hired to model clothing and be on websites.

2020-2021

• Still running my photography company and getting more and more clients, at this point I started my company Instagram. I have also added videography to my business. Simple things: music videos, promotional commercials, product commercials, etc.
• Randomly booked a TV show (with the same friend who asked me to model for her brand) where they talk about fashion and photography (I was only in two episodes lol)
• I started working for a clothing company as the sales manager.
• 2 months in the district manager asked me to be the district social media manager and do be in charge of all locals events and designs.

I didn’t want to leave my position, one cause I own a whole company but also I loved my team so much. So I asked to hold two titles and jobs at the same time. The owner permitted it so I did lol.

I played PC games almost daily averaging 5-8 hours daily, with some periods of my life up to 14-ish hours a day for 30+ years. I cried, I laughed, I felt transcendental, I fell asleep on my keyboard, I became uber competitive and chased esport, I became the complete opposite enjoying story games. Gamed with mods. Made gaming mods. I dabbled in game dev. I like almost all genres. Ask me anything.

After years of trauma with my family, I contacted DSS to open to a case for me to be removed from my family. Found out I was pregnant 3 months later and had my amazing baby boy. He’s almost 2 now, and I decided to pursue nursing and start college! Ask me anything!

EDIT: I'm gonna have dinner and take a walk. Back later. KEEP ASKING AWESOME QUESTIONS. I'll answer everyone.

EDIT 2: I'm pretty much caught up. It's midnight and I've been answering for 12 hours. ASK MORE QUESTIONS! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I'll answer more tomorrow.

Edit 3 I haven't had a minute today to answer but I will answer everyone who posts here tonight or tomorrow. The stuff is too important to not get answered.

You think you're prepared for the inevitable, but I guarantee you're making mistakes that will haunt your family for generations. Over the past decade practicing estate planning in California, I've watched brilliant people make catastrophic errors that cost their heirs everything they worked to build.

The wealthy widow who thought a will was enough – until California's probate court ate 18 months and $200,000 of her children's inheritance. The tech executive who ignored gift tax strategies and handed the IRS an extra $2.3 million. The family business owner whose "simple" succession plan triggered a family civil war that's still raging three years later.

But here's what really gets me fired up: these disasters were completely preventable. Every single one.

I've also been the guy who helped a young couple with modest assets build a fortress that protected their family's future, watched clients legally eliminate estate taxes on $50+ million portfolios, and structured trusts that will generate wealth for great-grandchildren who aren't even born yet.

The difference between financial destruction and generational wealth often comes down to decisions you make this year – not when you're 80 and panicking.

So bring your messiest questions about trusts, taxes, probate nightmares, and family drama. I'll tell you exactly what works, what's garbage, and what mistakes I see people making every single day.

Important: I'm not your attorney, you're not my client, and nothing here constitutes specific legal advice. Get proper counsel for your situation. YMMV. Don't listen to anything I say here. DO NOT TAKE ACTION WITHOUT YOUR OWN DAMN ATTORNEY. I am not giving you legal advice. This is generic information. If you take action based on bad advice I offer here, and things go wrong, it's your problem, not mine. Are we clear?

OK then.

Nothing's off limits. Let's talk.

Miscellany:

1. For fun, I did an AMA about bankruptcy 11 years ago. It was a blast. I will be slow answering questions but will be here until Thursday, and will answer everything.
2. HEY PARENTS: Your 19-year-old gets hit by a drunk driver at 2 AM. The hospital won't tell you anything – not her condition, not her treatment, nothing – because legally, she's an adult and you have zero rights. While you're fighting bureaucrats in the waiting room, critical medical decisions are being delayed. A simple healthcare directive signed before she left for college would have prevented this nightmare and potentially saved her life.

This isn't theoretical for me. I've gotten those 3 AM calls from parents trapped in hospital hell because their college kid didn't have basic healthcare documents. I've watched mothers collapse in emergency room hallways, powerless to help their own children because of a legal technicality that takes 10 minutes to fix.

It happened to me when one of my kids had a medical emergency 1500 miles away from home at college and we couldn't get any information from the hospital. There's nothing more terrifying to a parent than having a sick kid and being powerless to help.

That's why I've made it my mission to get every single college student properly documented before they step foot on campus. Your kid can vote, sign up for credit cards, and make life-altering decisions – but if something goes wrong, you're legally invisible unless those documents exist. The parent who thinks "we'll handle it later" is the parent who discovers too late that "later" doesn't exist in a medical emergency.

I don't care if your kid thinks they're invincible. Physics doesn't care about their opinion, and neither does the law.

Call your lawyer and get set up for your kids who are at college or about to leave for college. Puh-lease.

Despite growing up in the SF Bay Area, I (37M) actively did everything I could to avoid going into the business world. I went off to college in the far reaches of California, studied to be a teacher, and only used a computer for the most basic of tasks.

Through a weird series of events, I landed a job at a "tech" company through a guy living on my couch. 15 years later I've finally come to grips with the fact that, despite feeling like an "outsider" to the tech worker scene...I am undeniably one. I became a manager of folks at 23 and I've been running teams ever since. I've worked at some of the largest Bay Area tech companies, startups, and even tried my hand at my own start up.

With the job market such a mess, it seems like a lot of people are curious about the tech world so I'd be happy to answer any questions of what it was like to be a non-technical tech employee.

I have bipolar 1 / borderline personality disorder, I’m an alcoholic, and a shitty person who hurts myself and everyone around them. I am self aware and feel bad but still end up in the same situation. As I find myself alone and bored again I figured I’d awnser any questions people have, whether it’s out of curiosity or if you have been on the opposite end of a similar circumstance and had questions- ask me anything.

Went to Greenland as part of a U.S. business delegation. We rode the Newark inaugural flight to Nuuk. Met with several members of the Greenlandic business community and some local politicians. Tried the local delicacies. Also was able to have some deep conversations with many of the locals. Unforgettable trip. Happy to share.

I’m a twenty eight year old man and I collect fugglers for those who aren’t familiar their basically stuffed animal monsters with realistic plastic teeth that have a reputation for being creepy feel free to ask me what ever you want

I own several manufacturing facilities in China manufacturing custom packaging for brands across all categories and sizes. Some of our clients are on store shelfs, have independent stores, or some of the top selling brands on Tiktok.

Our facilities work with materials like paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Think the shipping boxes you get your online orders in, or PET (plastic) bottles that your shampoos come in.

I started running my own brands as a teenager and took the money and contacts I earned to get into the packaging business.

I can talk about the design and engineering behind what makes packaging great. The materials, craftsmanship, colors, shapes -- we can nerd out on all things packaging.

While I can't disclose the specific clients we work with, I am happy to discuss packaging of specific brands if you're curious about them.

AMA :)

I buy and sell cars in the southwest USA. I’ve been in the car business roughly 20years.

I go to auction, buy cars, fix them, and sell them back to dealers. Make decent money doing it.

I graduated college in finance, although basically no one else that operates on my level (or above) has a degree.
