Oh my sweet summer child...

frankly just keeping the silver in a lockbox or something at the bank would be better than nothing.

You're 14 and you had a guy stay the night?

Ooo! Ooo! Shell pasta, please, mater. I'm off to play the Grand Piano!

Or just use your hand to create suction.... If that doesn't work then get a plunger out.

geez. I mean, let him mull that over and figure it out, that's a pretty dark seed to plant if you're wrong

People do dumb things all the time when sleep deprived, it has a similar effect on the brain as being drunk.

"We always do this" had me absolutely rolling laughing. Like it's just standard for you to piss on your dog on a nightly basis. It's absolutely hysterical that your dog pissed on your pillow.

This has a been a very expensive but valuable lesson. Did your family know where you kept all of it? I know this is terrible to say but are you absolutely sure your parents didn't take it? They could have just used it to pay off debts and not noticable spending sprees. I'm shocked you kept it unsecured in a garage. It should have been hidden somewhere under a floor board or in a wall. Better yet a safe deposit box at a bank. To think someone just randomly stumbled into your garage and found it seems a bit crazy. Did anyone know you kept it there?

You need a bank account and a brokerage. You can buy a silver etf (what would probably be better, but more volatile, this is not investment advice, would be a sp500/nasdaq/dow Jones /any index fund in the world etf)

That wasn’t clear at all, so thanks for explaining.

I know this sounds weird....but try a plunger next time. Ive busted up clogs in my sink drains with a plunger before. Matter of fact, they make miniature ones that fit perfectly over a sink drain.

70k per year? FAFSA wouldn't cover anywhere near that - many people who attend those schools get full rides via scholarships. My in-state tuition was 6.5k per semester, which FAFSA barely covers. Surely you have a better option. Many state universities are still in the top 100.

Having a shittier home life than your friends doesn't give you a green light to talk about their families? Maybe her "friend" should have kept his mouth shut if he gonna throw a hissy fit over a comment like "you can't be talkin"...

So the really shitty thing you said was "you can't be talkin"? Having a shitty home life doesn't give your friend the green light to joke about other people's situations without any kick back.

College is a scam

“Right up there with burp and sneeze fetishes”

Well that’s about enough internet for today

Please invest in a plunger specifically designated for the kitchen sink (as opposed to borrowing the toilet plunger 🤮). P-traps are generally a piece of cake to clear out. YouTube has zillions of tutorials to walk you through the steps. Be nice to your plumbing and it will be nice to you.

Its defenetly a setback, sorry to hear it. Perhaps file a police report just for documentation, might come handy if anything comes up.
From now on get a bank account and get out of there asap, still improvement.

Btw "where its usually kept" - is there anywhere else it could be?

Look up 'safe deposit box'

So you're an asshole and want upvotes for it.

This post was probably meant to get some laughs or a little support. No need to be D-Bags.. why yall gotta be internet tools?. Reddit is so ruthless sometimes.

Yep, try again. At least talk to him and say how u REALLY feel, and then the ball will be in his court. +
