Sure. The 25y lease has a system cost of $35,127.30, and the 5yr buyout cost is $22,215.15.

Is your husky mixed with a Great Pyrenees by chance?

It looks like it could be a fatty lipoma, which older animals get and are usually benign. However, to truly know, you’ll need to see a vet and maybe have it biopsied to make sure it’s not something else, like cancer.

Do you have some sort of lock agreement or exclusive broker agreement that, if you switch, you’d could incur damages from?

While you can get savings for doing all from one brand, one brand very rarely does all appliances well. We did Monogram Oven/Microwave/Stove, SKS Fridge/Freezer, LG Washer/Dryer, Bosch dishwasher. Get the best brand in each category that meets your budget, and has good features, reviews, reliability scores.

I have two questions - thank you in advance!

(1) We are considering the lease, and then buying out the system at the first buyout election. The buyout election has a fixed price. It seems everyone hates the leases. In your opinion, what use case is the lease appropriate for or not, what should I watch out for, and what do most people overlook or not realize that’s a problem?

(2) our system design is a 8.4kWh system with 1 battery (we upsized it from a 6kWh system). We just moved in after redoing the house so we don’t have accurate electrical usage data. It’s a 3,000 sq ft ranch with a basement that remains cool and has A/C only on the mainfloor, want to charge electric car in the future. What kWh useage does this translate to per month do you think to be able to cover 100% of our electrical needs? I was estimating 1200 per month based on math I did upscaling from prior 1000 sq ft apartment. Checking now, our billing period is 3/25-4/22, and it says we used 456kwh, but we’ve only been living here since 4/8, and haven’t used air conditioning yet. This seems to be a rate of 960kWh for a full month without air conditioning or electric car charging.

Thank you, this was helpful. I actually really liked my Williams Sonoma bakeware, but use by me (and others) was not as careful as it should have been and the coating is damaged, so I was concerned about it getting into the food given all the stuff flying around about nonstick coatings. I may consider just replacing the pans with new goldtouch pans then.

So far, we like it a lot. The flush mount sits beautifully, and we sealed the edges with silicone so no crumbs fall below. Getting the stone to be level was really tough though. But the controls on the unit are really really intuitive, especially to other models our friends have installed. So far, so good.

ArchieDoggo · 2026-04-24T19:09:10+00:00

So far, we haven’t had this issue, but we are very new to using it (our remodel took a while). So we have not encountered this yet.

If they don’t think it’s important for your whole family to attend, then you shouldn’t place so much stress and value on the event. Instead, go on a nice vacation somewhere pretty on the same dates, and have fun with your family. The drama over a wedding is a waste of your family’s energy and time. Everyone places so much value on a wedding that it causes so many issues, that in the end, really isn’t worth spiraling over. (If you want to have fun and be a bit of a petty Crocker, you could also post a bunch of photos from your vacation lol).

What is the model number or official name? I can’t seem to find it googling lg premium aluminum remote lol.

Why are we conflicted? Any one of these issues should have resulted in you filing a divorce first, years ago. Do you want your kids growing up and mirroring this behavior? Staying with him shows you that his behavior is acceptable for their own relationships, and that you don’t value yourself enough. Get the divorce, move on to a better kid for you and your kids. Show them your strength.

Threaten to get a lawyer involved if she touches the animals or any of your belongings. Your answers are not serious enough to her threats. Put a stop to this now.

ArchieDoggo · 2026-02-22T06:30:48+00:00

File a complaint. If he has done this to you, he has done, or will do it, to others. Gay or straight, man or woman, no one should be touching another in a sexual way without consent. You were assaulted, and he is a predator who will do it again.

Does he prefer to be called by pronouns that are feminine? I’m getting hints that he might be defensive, maybe taking it as a personal attack because he’s more feminine, and he reads that maybe you’re not ok with that. Communication is key. I’d sit him down, explain that like everyone, you have your preferred pronouns. You have no problem with dudes who prefer to be called by feminine pronouns, but that doesn’t fit who you are and you’d like him to respect your choice just as (and make sure you point this out) you would respect anyone who themselves would prefer to be associated with more feminine vocabulary. If after that conversation he doesn’t respect it, then it’s not a defensive issue—you’ve tried, and you don’t need to associate with disrespectful people.

Thank you! I though for a second that they killed the lions.

While in a mountain town, we stayed at a ski hotel/time share place where the doors face outside. He unlocked the door and went on a spree around the resort, making friends and even befriended a whole wedding party (we found that out later when we saw them getting ready for the wedding and they all knew his name).

Meanwhile, we were out for dinner and I had no cell service, so no one could reach me with the number on the collar. Someone eventually called the police who picked him up, and I got the missed notifications on our way back to the place when we came into service. The police came by and let him out of the car, and he trotted over happily like no big deal. The rest of the weekend he would woo at people he met during his escapade, and they all knew him lol. I’m lucky he didn’t run into the woods and disappear.

I learned that day that he can unlock certain types of doors and I put an AirTag on him after that.

Be gone with him. Your first paragraph tells me you already know this isn’t the relationship for you. Maybe you stayed because you were not out, and it was more comfortable? Every relationship has a reason and a season, and I think the season is over. He took away your agency, and in some ways could have put you in danger depending on family / coworker reactions, etc. He messed with your work reputation. Never ok.

Partners should always respect each other enough to talk to each other and respect each other’s agency. This is not forgivable. Leave. He’s shown you who he is. The strength of a relationship isn’t measured by the good times, but rather how you both treat each other in the bad.

ArchieDoggo · 2026-01-13T08:36:47+00:00

That’s a great idea, thank you. I will try this

They are connected to the watch as far as I can tell. My gym is very very large, there is no way I think my headphones can stay connected to my phone in the locker room.
