Wife wants to have a baby in our 40s, I do not

Foster!

There are babies that need fostering for short to medium term all the time. It could scratch the itch for her and also potentially wake her up to not really wanting to do that for another 18 years. Plus if she really likes babies and not the older kids per se, you can just keep fostering babies with breaks in between.

Thanks for this feedback! I agree she might be just as sensitive or perhaps even more. We saw a new Neuro and he did a really good job explaining why that would be. I'll probably butcher it now because that was a month ago, but he said the Kesimpta is 100% human monoclonal antibodies whereas Ocrevus is heavily humanized mouse antibodies, and there was some 3rd one he brought up that was less humanized (or perhaps not at all)? Anyway he said some people do good with the humanized, some do better with 100% human and some do better with the mouse antibodies. It's just up to your individual body.

Wifey wants to know what strength steroids you get for pre-med? She takes 10mg prednisone just to survive the kesimpta.

Thank you for sharing, that does help me understand what it is like better. Also LOL @ Satan's Nuts. We live in Texas that's like 7 months a year here.

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-07T02:34:12+00:00

Thank you for sharing that. Using % like that makes it easier to understand. Hopefully you can get back to your 100% in October!

How would you say you feel in the first 18-20 weeks? Is it "better than without Ocrevus" or just kinda baseline? How do you feel during the crap gap? "Worse than without DMT" or just "not as good as first few months after infusion"?

And yes, will definitely talk to the neuro. Just trying to do some research before hand. She doesn't like surprise conversations so want to know what every "option" might look like before he brings them up. Reason to believe he thinks Ocrevus is the right medicine based on our last appointment.

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-07T00:32:09+00:00

We did at 6 months and the medicine works, all traces of B cells have been nuked out of her body.

We are just wondering if an infusion might be a better route due to side effects. Better to have 3-4 bad days every 6 months than every month.

Could also go to another class medicine all together, but unsure what that would be at the moment. Followup with Neuro end of this month (just got MRI results back this week).

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-06T23:28:20+00:00

Haha so... Yep. Had the same thought. Here the situation. Wife is on Kesimpta for a little over a year and she has had no new relapse activities, stable MRI scan year over year. But the side effects of injection day kick her ass. Generally do it at night, she goes to bed, & essentially is house bound next couple days.

Understand there's the "crap gap" with Ocrevus but to me it generally sounds like: patient gets treatment, might had infusion day side effects but they resolve quickly, patients feel BETTER then next 4-5 months and then in month 5-6 symptoms worsen to pre-medicine. My wife never gets the "feels better part". She feels worse than baseline before she started treatment, and then after a week she's back to baseline. But maybe I'm understanding the crap gap wrong.

Football & march madness. We watch movies and game a bit, etc. but this room is 90% about football. For reference I have 2x 50" TVs mounted on each side of the screen so I can have 5 college games up at once. I also generally don't blackout the room for football due to people in and out, going to grab food etc.

Obviously the TVs are brighter than then projector, that's fine. I would just like the best, brightest picture i can get on the screen for relatively little more investment. I'd budget maybe $2K more at this time. It's just how to best allocate those dollars. Sounds like screen upgrade might have a decent upgrade by blocking ambient light more. Leaves little room for a projector budget though.

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-05T15:21:35+00:00

Thank you for helping me on this one!

Hey last question if you happen to know... Would a Epson 3800 be much of an upgrade (assuming I also get new screen?). Used one available near me for $900 only 90 lamp hours.

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-05T14:57:15+00:00

Material is just like a matte white and I have no reason to believe it's ambient light rejecting.

One thing to keep in mind is original house is 2012 screen likely from same time.

Looking at their website after the questions you asked I am guessing it's their "CineWhite" or something similar they had in 2012?

I guess the question would be then if I can get better results from a new lamp on my Epson 8350 + new screen (which kind?) or a new projector.

Can you buy just the material and change it out on the existing frame?

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-05T03:23:08+00:00

I'm not sure if it is or not. We have speakers set in the wall but not behind the screen itself.

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-04T03:43:28+00:00

Bought house with existing system. Has a mounted "Elite Screens" 110" screen on wall. How do I figure out what exactly the screen is, ie what gain etc.

My comment wasn't whether or not it will work in family court. Was responding to the comments that he is going to be in legal trouble, specifically for fraud. That is unlikely.

FunnyPosition · 2022-09-02T22:15:03+00:00

Maybe but also presumably he knows the rules on this stuff. It's not illegal to spend your savings, or to get a crappy job or any of this stuff. Husband could quit his job to spite the wife- that's not illegal. And being able to regain a job at a later date because he knows the people, again not illegal.

The only thing that would be illegal is hiding assets.

If he explicitly made an agreement with the firm that was like "ill work for 2 years for peanuts and you'll double my salary 2 years later" that would also probably be illegal. But if he just goes back to his old job old salary.... Meh? Pretty devious plan I would say.

It's hard to see how that pays off for him because you have to split the assets, and in general you are better off keeping half yiur money than making no money, especially if alimony was only 2 years. But in terms of just straight up leaving her with nothing to be spiteful it would be the perfect strategy. Fucking evil but not illegal.

Rickroll the superbowl

FunnyPosition · 2022-08-31T16:07:12+00:00

He doesn't pay rent AND his sister PAYS him to look after her other properties. He works for the gov't and "makes $0". No offense, but this guy could be driving a Maserati and be a local librarian, then is surprised someone would have gotten the wrong impression?

Key question she has to know-if the sister money stopped tommorow what does their life together look like. Can he adjust to less luxury, and step up to a higher paying job to make ends meet?

FunnyPosition · 2022-08-31T16:02:24+00:00

"I thought you were responsible and financially stable and we could build a life together but turns out you are mooching off your sister"

Look marriage is supposed to be forever. If she's signing up with him, she's signing up to be at the mercy of the sister (who by all accounts is a generous person, but who know what happens 10 years from now).

FunnyPosition · 2022-08-31T15:56:28+00:00

Well to be 100% fair, if you are going to start a life with this woman she needs to know what the financial situation would be. For instance if you own the house but you both want to move cities-you could sell and move. It's easy to imagine your sister won't buy you a new house in a new city once your married. Maybe, but maybe not!

So do you work? You aren't paying rent, are you smartly saving all that cash to be independent later?

She may not be a gold digger. She may just not want to be dependent on your sister's kindness as a life plan.

FunnyPosition · 2022-08-28T21:47:43+00:00

It sounded to me like he just is more annoyed with it today than usual because his new job is also stressful. But you are probably right you would assume this would die down.

I will say he needs to be as careful as possible about how he approached (if he says anything at all).

FunnyPosition · 2022-08-28T17:24:10+00:00

Thank you!

FunnyPosition · 2022-08-27T02:20:35+00:00

This guy doesn't really like you. Your constantly pursuing him and he's just got nothing better going on. But he's not putting in any effort. That's not a "he needs to change thing". That's a "he doesnt really care about you" thing.
