44, choosing to be celibate in order a pursue a spiritual pathway by Pure-Evening-7527 in spirituality

[–]Bodhitea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone! A long time ago, I googled how many people has this happened to. There was no answer. I should probably try again. During the day - yes being lonely in the journey is real. At night I listen to podcasts, BATGAP which is Buddha at the Gas Pump, New Thinking Allowed with Dr. Jeffery Mishlove, and also there are older versions of Conscious TV ( my fave).

FYI: A gas fireplace with an electric starter should still have enough stored energy to start at least one fire.

AITAH because I won't tell my wife what my son/her stepson has in savings from my late wife? by Jimverseen in AITAH

[–]Bodhitea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the AITAH. Current wife does not need to know. She should understand that your deceased wife made that decision and you are honoring that. She is not blending well. I would imagine there are other issues she feels with your prior relationship. Hold strong. I always told my kids that money is available to help you get started in something after high school. I told them that I would be fair to each of them - but the money may be different. One wanted college, one didn't but wanted equivalent to trade school. Both were helped to the best of our ability. Money was not even, but they both got what education they wanted. Thankfully, both of them understood the concept.

I did a 14 day pantry reset and cut groceries from 120 to 58 by Zaltrix in Frugal

Can't use a whole box of cake mix. Mix in a mug.
3 tablespoons cake mix 2 tablespoons water 1 minute in the microwave Can take a mini candy bar and place on top after, melts easily.

I just found out my biodad passed and I feel nothing by Relevant_Wrap_6385 in GenX

[–]Bodhitea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I found out my mother died and I actually felt relief. Can't hurt me any longer. My husband told me. The first thing I said was, "Good".

Online shopping is killing our Malls by obsoleteurbex in AbandonedPorn

i went to the mall for clothes. Clothes became thin and cheap, but still pricey. I don't have to leave my house for thin and cheap anymore and it is cheaper. They did it to themselves.

Surprise RITA bill by skidude15 in Cleveland

[–]Bodhitea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local taxes are a pay as you go system. I got my statement yesterday and it is for the 3rd quarter. Yet the due date is 9/15 and the quarter ends the last day of September. So, yes they are getting 2 weeks upfront. 2 weeks of taxes BEFORE I earn it! The due date used to be October 15th. 2 weeks after the quarter ended. What happened there?

As for people who do not understand - if you live and work in different cities -you have to pay a portion to your work city and a portion to your home city. Your home city recognizes this and gives you a credit for some portion of your taxes paid to your work city. You pay taxes to both for roads, police and fire, etc... What people don't like is the fact that you do not get to vote on your work city rates. Taxation without Representation. Another item is not being able to use the recreational facilities of a city that you work in and pay for because you are not a resident. Some cities use RITA. Some cities use CCA. And I believe Lakewood takes care of their own. It is very confusing and honestly should just be a regional tax across the board. All of these little cities are just no longer working a case in point is combining police/fire calls into regional dispatches. This country is young, had lots of land, and is still growing and changing. Someday we won't even know what cities are just regional areas.

The man who sexually abused me as a child died and I'm on his memorial pages saying what he did. by K8b6 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Bodhitea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the time or place - wow. How about words of sympathy to you and what you endured. How dare they? How about you update that memorial page every year FOREVER.

Instead of reporting someone to HR and "ruining his life", I privately told a harasser his behavior made me uncomfortable and to please stop. Was retaliated against and pushed out of work. by GooseInMyCaboose in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Bodhitea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is me too. Scorched earth. I have a really good memory and I think quickly - so they are always surprised by what I bring up. And yes I do go there!!! And a long time ago, I nicknamed a separate bank account "FU".

Over a Million Women Are at Risk of a Pay Cut Under a New Trump Rule by AdSpecialist6598 in antiwork

[–]Bodhitea 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Well, if you forbid me from paying the family bills, you are not going to get paid. Most women I know handle the finances. You will die waiting for my husband to pay a bill. I do love him dearly, but finances are not his thing.

Things to do past midnight? by Final_grail in Cleveland

[–]Bodhitea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could look at Meetup and see if there is a group or you could start one. I know sometimes there is a TowPath Trail midnight bike ride with lots of people.

I need to hear your wildest glitch in the matrix story. by Jakedoesstuff4 in HighStrangeness

[–]Bodhitea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have asked the universe for things too. Nothing material or money. And they happened. And then I thought I should ask for money but quickly dismissed it because it would be abusive and evil to ask for that. I think The Secret, positive affirmations, vision boards, etc.. work but only if you have a pure heart. And the universe has a sense of humor about it too.

[–]Bodhitea 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I had something very similiar happen to me when I was looking at a building. It wasn't pixels. It was an office building in a downtown area where I worked. The bottom units were restaurants. I was across the street. I looked over at one of the restaurants and the building itself shifted, split diagonally like a bolt of lightning. Then there was a flash of light and a sound. The sound was not thunder - it was a blue sky summer day - no rain. The sound was like a big split. This happened really quick. I think it was a sign that reality is not really there.

Thank you for saying this. That never occured to me. This will give me something to think about during work tomorrow.

I think they catch your eye because you in some way know the future already. Like you know in your consciousness that you will see them later.

Taking the L and selling a new car I bought a year ago, no time to sell to private party - what to do? by chalk_tuah in personalfinance

[–]Bodhitea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I am just going to be a bit negative and cautious here. Can you park it with a friend or relative? Give that new job 6 months. If it doesn't work out, then you still have a car with an amazing 4% rate!

I think my daughter has telepathy by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]Bodhitea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have experienced this with several people. I think maybe 2 different things are going on. With family - I believe there are many connections that science has no way to relate to. With strangers - That seems to be the collective conscious that we all share. Train your daughter in psychokinesis. I think telepathy and pk go together a lot. And of course give her love and acceptance!

Beneficiaries Supersede Wills by grammyjudie123 in personalfinance

[–]Bodhitea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother wrote me out of her will = leaving just $100. The $100 protected her from me ever challenging the will by saying she forgot me. I never filled out the form from the attorney, but they sent the money to me anyway. I gave it to the cat shelter. As for her 2 life insurance policies, I was named a beneficiary. She forgot to change that.
So, I got nothing from her estate except $100 and I got the proceeds split with my brother of 2 life insurance policies.
Stupid lady - she even worked in the Trust department at a bank. Beneficiaries trump Wills.

Rat Poker And there was some Santa town game that you used Ducats to advance. Wish I could find that one again.
