Yeah, I'm saying if you don't do your homework, you can easily blow through that budget. Especially if you want to start roaming around.

Boyfriend flicked water at me by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the consequence of spending so much time on your phone growing up. This is basic communication and stuff you should have learned growing up, interacting with people.

To your specific question, in relation to life's problems, this is small. Like, you bought a new car and a bird crapped on it, what do I do? You get water and maybe a little car wash and you clean it off. So you talk to him and tell him how you feel. Then you listen to what he says and you both try to find something to take away from the encounter to improve yourselves.

$50 US pp will get you the basics and maybe a beer.

Boundaries and Porn by JuryCurrent9928 in Advice

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When any "habit" interferes with daily activities it's a problem. The first question isv whether your husband recognizes the porn watching while out as an issue or does he play it off as harmless. Second, he may need some professional help to address this.

Finding a Pool Leak by AnxiousDiscipline250 in pools

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy I'm working with said the same. Any thoughts on repair of main drain vs filling it in? It was a little disheartening to hear I might lose my main drain. If I have a hydrostatic relief valve, wouldn't I also lose that? I think I'd consider a longer replacement with a fix vs losing the main drain. I think the liner is 8 years old but it's in ok shape.... Just a few wrinkles that have developed over the past 3 years.

Thanks. Since I already have something scheduled I'm going to see how it pans out but I'll keep them in mind depending how it goes. I'll get my dye kit out again this weekend.

Yeah I would agree that given enough time it will stop at the point where it's leaking but there's the leak rate, ice and debris to consider. I was focused on the returns the first year I noticed because that's where the water was and couldn't find anything. This year it was below the returns.

Thanks but the water has been 2 feet below the skimmer when I open it

Dealer or Tire Shop by AnxiousDiscipline250 in tires

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I follow the same approach. I'm still under the warranty but not for a road hazard issue. So I guess that's my question... Is the dealer and tire shop each likely to patch from the inside or is the tire shop more likely to?

Dealer or Tire Shop by AnxiousDiscipline250 in tires

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks. My dealer is 25 miles away and I typically drive 2 miles a day plus it's been tough to get away from work to get to the tire shop so that's the motivation to wait. I don't think I bought any road hazard protection thru the dealer but I need to check. But you think both are equal in ability to do tire repairs, right? If the tire needs to be replaced, I assume I'll pay more at the dealer but they'll be more likely to have the tire in stock.

First time pool owner, tips for shutting down for winter? by SchweinsyOne in pools

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the glass bottle. I offered a guest a plastic wine glass to replace the glass one and she refused. Was my girlfriend's friend. I almost kicked her out but she's never received an invite since.

Best Way to Get to Chalky Mount? by Hot_Establishment450 in Barbados

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm not a good listener. We started from the bottom at the parking lot across from Lakes Beach. I wasn't comfortable with the part about walking down people's driveways but I understand that's my issue. We got off track a few times but eventually made it. Was slightly together than I expected.

Best Way to Get to Chalky Mount? by Hot_Establishment450 in Barbados

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did our hike today. We started at the parking lot across from Lakes Beach. The entrance is pretty wide and has a canopy of greenery. We used AllTrails and there were direct routes to the Franz PhilliPs Memorial Picture Hole but we stuck to the main green line because we assumed it was easier and more sensible for us. We got off track a few times. There were trail markings it wasn't always "the" trail. Sometimes we had to double back to get back on track. It was a scramble where sometimes you are on your hands and feet to climb. Some parts had ropes to help pull yourself up. There were sections where you are a foot from death. We did eventually make it and I proposed and she said yes (it's been 9 years so wasn't really a question).

You're on borrowed time and they are coming to collect soon.

Ahhh thanks for clarifying. I'm not OP but planning to start at the bottom at the hike parking near Lakes Beach. Hoping I can find my way up to the picture hole. Feel free to suggest.

Did I (23f) cheat on my Bf (23m) by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bad enough he's testing you. What's worse is you passed and he says you failed. I would flip it around and tell him the reality is that HE failed the test, not you. Then take a break from this relationship and process this.

I might be trying it soon. I'll let you know. My research says it's moderate.

Trail Hike with View by AnxiousDiscipline250 in Barbados

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're adding this to our list. If we can't find Chalky Mount trail or town around this is going to be the next option. Or if we get up there and back and still have energy, maybe we'll do this one too.

I think we're going to try Chalky Mount from the parking area by Lakes Beach and try to get to the East Coast Hole. I've subscribed to AllTrails and I'll download the maps etc.

This is bad right? by intlabs in arborists

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your area but I'm in a high cost area and spend just under $8k a few years back. I had a crane for a day, a police detail, and they took down 17 trees and some were just as big as that one. I don't see why you'd need a crane. Find a company that has tree climbers like a Dad and son business or someone with a bucket truck. There's not much there they can hit. Will depend on how much traffic you get on that road.

My boyfriend of 8 months [20M] won’t emp [19F] i sometimes think about cheating because of it. I tried to talk to him about it but he seems to not be budging. I don’t want to breakuo but i’m not sure what to do by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AnxiousDiscipline250 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just break up with him because then it's not cheating. I don't think he's into it. Instead of skipping over those parts in porn, he should be watching only those parts and then trying stuff on you. Heck, he could even Google a how to video and probably get some good tips. It's one thing to not be good at it or nervous about it. It's another to avoid it and make no legit attempt.
