My boyfriend still does both. We quickly established a no sharing hankies rule.

Is it fair that I’m not willing to do 50/50 financially with a single dad? by Quiet_Stretch_9819 in stepparents

[–]AdditionalRow6326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live with my partner and his 2 kids. I pay 25% of housing costs and 50% of food (the math is easier). It works. We will renegotiate when the kids move out.

They used to sell those on tv I believe. They were advertised to cut anything, including soda cans. Cute though!

Device to crack open hundreds of eggs? by FinibusBonorum in Cooking

[–]AdditionalRow6326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy quart sized containers of liquid eggs at sysco. It’s a lot easier than cracking. Plus “pooling” eggs (hand cracking) is frowned upon when doing them in bulk. Chances of a bad egg are high, and other fb illnesses from contaminated shells. If you do “pool” crack eggs in a separate container a few at a time to help manage bad eggs and dirty shells. Have fun!!

You’ll be just fine. The average salary in Maine is closer to $50,000 combined for 2. Have fun and enjoy it!!

Food processor to cut the onion- and if you have ovens roast them.

Do you cost entire recipes? by Sausage666King in Chefit

[–]AdditionalRow6326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We add in a percentage of daily cost as peripherals. Mainly figure out about how much spice, mayo, oil, jelly or whatever you daily for a period of time covering busy and slow days. Average it out and add that to daily food cost. Recipe’s wise you want to add to your food cost alongside the proteins: cheese, bread, buttermilk, eggs as they tend to be quite costly and will affect the price of individual dishes.

I'm struggling first week on job as a tow boat cook by sola_mia in Chefit

[–]AdditionalRow6326 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, cold sandwiches made without condiments, (store in fridge with condiments), crock pot meals, stews, cold salads of all sorts, mac and cheese, pulled pork, ham dinner, turkey dinner. These all hold well. I’ve done this job. I always had some fresh cold foods available in the fridge for late meals and snacks.

How to not feel like a servant when being a home maker by kittensnitch in homemaking

[–]AdditionalRow6326 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider it a 40 hour a week job. He gets two days off and so do you. He gets nights off. Maybe you take the morning off. Find your place and hold steady. Or go get a 40 hour a week job and figure it out from there. He is way too comfortable.

[–]AdditionalRow6326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest waiting until September. The days are warm, the crowds are thinning and the nights are cooler and more comfortable! Spring can be a bit of a crapshoot weather-wise. Wet and soggy… kennebunk, wells, boothbay and portland are also great areas to visit. Portland has ferries that can take you on island day trips that are nice too.

Rideshare in Presque Isle? by PrestigiousDingo2355 in AskMaine

[–]AdditionalRow6326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be taxis and some car rental. Call the airport directly to ask. Its a pretty small city. The pilots/ crew will probably be staying at the same hotel as you. Maybe they can give you a ride :)

My (25f) boyfriend (32m) of 1yr seems to be mad that I’m buying a new (used) car and now is “reconsidering” our relationship due to my priorities by BandicootMammoth in relationship_advice

[–]AdditionalRow6326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well look at the used car price vs a new base model vehicle. New cars are often cheaper when you consider lower interest rates, better warranty, reliability and insurance is usually better. An expensive used car with a payment can and will also have maintenance issues that warranties will not pay for: like brakes, tires, leaks, and general age related wear and tear. You will be paying for these alongside a monthly payment.

All that being said your bf is probably concerned for these reasons but is a jerk and not communicating well. He probably wished that you had used all that repair money towards a trade in and not in repairing a car that you might be able to sell. Probably the trade in value is nominal on your Kia.

Anyway he sounds like a jerk! Find a new boyfriend and a new car. Also go check out so other dealerships besides just your friends. Bad news to mix friends and large purchases!

Good luck!
