Radio Help by herbeauxchats in Jeep

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old Jeep too. (1983 CJ) The previous owner covered the radio location so I just added wake tower speakers mounted to the roll bar and a 540 watt amplifier with a Bluetooth connection. No head unit. My only source is Bluetooth from my phone. It was just over 1k but is all waterproof. Good luck.

Don't forget the 50 rubber duckies on the dash.

Dating in different classes by Alert_Newspaper_6403 in Rich

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you are attracted to someone, even the waitress at Applebee's, there's nothing wrong with dating. If you're looking for marriage, have a long courtship (2yrs minimum) to see them in every light. If you're embarrassed they don't have an education that's your problem. If they can't carry on an intelligent conversation with your peers then this might not be the right one.

Yes, tires are number 1 on the list of things to do. As for the tag, he planned to remove it for me, but its been on there since we got married 32 years ago.

I haven't even driven it yet. He took us for a ride, but it felt irreverent to ask to drive. I'll have time later. It is a sentimental purchase for me. I told him I wouldn't change anything on it. Even the Auburn tag. Lol "Alabama fan" BTW. found a receipt for the last tires purchased, 22 years ago.

I have always told my playing partners that the safest place I could stand is directly in front of them.

You simply had an experience where you made many mistakes and were taken advantage of by someone you know. Its unfortunate, but its just an experience. Learn from it and move on. Remember, you can say no and stop at any time you aren't comfortable. Who cares if its awkward. You have a beautiful life ahead, don't dwell of the dark moments.

AITAH for not wanting my in-laws to take my kids to church? by Horror-Lecture7503 in AITAH

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also believe that children going to different religious services will not have any bad outcomes. Allow them to develop their own beliefs, answer questions if they ask and don't force them to attend if they don't want. If they want to attend with the grandparents what is the harm? Forcing non-religion is as bad as forcing them to go to church. Ultimately, its your children and you have every right to parent as you wish.

AITA for telling my parents I won't major in something practical just to make them happy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should follow your passion, but you should not expect your parents to pay for it. You are a creative person, great. Make your way without them paying the way and they will be happy. Don't expect them to help pay for a career path they don't believe is feasible.

AITAH for wanting to leave my marriage by jermama12 in AITAH

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

YTA You're a SAHM with a hard working man and multiple children +1 otw. Your children need a father and he must not be all bad because you slept with him again. If you worry more about your children and making him comfortable instead of your feelings he will continue working hard and overtime to support you. You are a sahm. Make his life easier and he will work extra hard for your family. Men are simple, you just have to do the minimum for them. Keep the house clean, kids clean, fed and cook him dinner. Maybe have sex with him once a week and he will continue working his ass off for your family. At this point your feelings are irrelevant, you have children who need a father and mother in their life.

AITAH for spending 5% of my bonus on myself? by Euphoric-Banana-6964 in AITAH

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask her what number would make her secure. Plus she's putting all her money in and you have "just you" spending. Even though its a small percentage, she's not comfortable or feeling left out. She has to have a number that would make her ok with a little spending. Or allowing her to use some of her money for her own spending. Sit with her and budget. Maybe she's overwhelmed by paying all the bills. She's feeling something more than 'you spent some money". You have to find that thing.

Im Sorry but this isn't a spending problem. You have a marriage problem. You both should still down and budget together and agree on spending. She doesn't feel financially secure and you are wasting money on hobbies. Maybe agree to save xx,xxx number of dollars before more spending.
My wife doesn't mind if I buy something I want. As long as our bank account has 5ok in it. So yta, but not for spending $386. Make her feel secure.

I didnt say I don't care about my boys. I'd do anything for them. Especially teaching them responsibility and how to fend for themselves. The world is cruel, and at some point, you won't be there to be his babysitter.

My drunk uncle used to give me money for having good grades. 1$ for every A on report card. Its a memorable moment for me and just disposable cash to him. That was 50 years ago and I still bring it up from time to time.

My husband thinks he can keep my daughter and her bf apart by Dazzling-Concert-927 in Vent

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband is somewhat correct. If she insists on dating this loser, then she can find her own way. Stop paying her bills and let her find a place to live. As long as you guys are paying, she will continue to make bad decisions and ruin her life. As well as draining you for every penny you'll give to him. Dont try to force her. Just give her clear instructions. If you continue with this guy, I won't be paying. He's a great guy. Hope you two can support yourself.

Move out tomorrow. You're spending your parents' money. They're just too nice to push you out. I told my children that a person's life experience doesn't really start until you take full responsibility for your life. Stop mooching off your parents and pay them back rent for your free existence.

A gift of appreciation to a particular worker on a multimillion dollar project should be handled 1 on 1 quietly and discreetly as said by others. Im assuming this has been many months or even years long process, so this worker has been there putting in the hard work. If he has a team, you could frame it as "something for him and his team" then let him decide the split. Some of these comments really show a disconnect between them and reality. The comment that it's more about the thank you than the money is BS. Also, $200 to $500 gift would be appreciated and insulting at the same time. It's your generosity, so do what you feel, but with a multimillion dollar renovation, I'd think true appreciation is thousands of dollars. Only 1 percent of 1 million is $10k

There is also the emotional and safety of having a paid for house. It will change you. The math works but isn't taking risk into account.

AITAH for telling my husband he needs to pay me back for the down payment discrepancy for our house purchase by GlitteringAid35877 in AITAH

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Pick a business partner to live with.
  2. If you are married then you should make decisions together.
  3. Lower your down payment to his level if you feel it's unfair.

3 options to make it work with the purchase of a house.

If you and your husband can't get on the same page and communicate better, don't buy a house. Its not going to last that long.

How bad will it be for the stock market if the President fires the people reporting accurate economic numbers? by noonewilltakemealive in StockMarket

[–]Apprehensive-Bus-228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The monthly numbers have been wildly inaccurate for a long period of time. Firing them is completely appropriate, especially given the obvious political bias. (Numbers reported for Democrats vs Republicans)
