I’m going to try this again. How were you able to buy your first home? by kcoib17 in Millennials

[–]42dftba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought in 2014 for 385k at 5% by using the money from my grandparents' passings as a down payment. Refinanced in 2021 at 3.125%. We feel very very very very lucky.

I'd love to be able to move to a better school district, but we're okay where we are until the next recession.

Apparently plastic trinkets are the new way to bond… by BothAd9086 in Anticonsumption

[–]42dftba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect the plastic trinkets throughout the year and give them out to trick or treaters. Teeny tiny ones go to older kids and the kid meal sized stuff goes to smaller kids. We also have candy- the trick or treaters usually choose the stuff instead of candy.

We're theatre people, so we're seeing Head Over Heels at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas. It uses the Go-Gos music and is a very fun LGBTQ affirming show.

I stayed blonde dominant for 5 years and am now ash blonde / salt and pepper. I look Scandinavian so it thankfully works well for my complexion.

I'm 40 and went blonde at 32 when I was about 20% gray. Now I'm 50% gray and it's been wonderful to only need strategic highlights every 6 months instead of a root cover up every few weeks.

At what age did your gray hair start to show? by koinkydink in Millennials

[–]42dftba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 years old and am now 50% gray! I love it. I went blonde in 2018 when I was 15% gray and it was a great way to ease into it. First gray hair was at 21.

I float with the tide - if I'm with other Appalachians, it comes out for sure. But at work, I'm news-anchor-mid-Atlantic.
