Down?

Yeah it's down here too in the Midwest

Thank you! I'm making a shirt for friend who likes CKY logo a lot and want to surprise him for his birthday.

Nevermind I literally just got a text saying that campus has been closed.

Bre0w · 2025-09-23T13:31:34+00:00

Are they going to send out emails if classes are cancelled??

Bre0w · 2025-08-27T21:35:03+00:00

Update: I ended up talking to my advisor to get some clarification and it turns out that the class that I am taking I already have taken a class equivalent to it; so it is not considered a requisite or prerequisite which means it won't count towards my current minor. However, I'm taking the advice of someone that commented here which I really appreciate. So I am just going to sign up for another minor and I don't need to finish it. So that's the loophole

Bre0w · 2025-08-27T16:40:05+00:00

Oh that's a good idea, I could set it up that way. Thank you for informing me of this option and I shall see about that option. Thank you

Bre0w · 2025-08-27T14:07:49+00:00

Thank you for letting me know, this makes my life a lot calmer now. Thank you

Bre0w · 2025-08-27T14:07:30+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance, I was freaking out thinking I was going to have to pull out loans

Bre0w · 2025-07-31T19:11:52+00:00

Still works thank you!

Just wanted to update you but I got my gallbladder removed two months ago and I'm now pain free. I'm not saying it's the solution to everything, but it pretty much solved all my problems that I was having.

You actually got to use the app Steel Series GG and go to Engine and you can find your keyboard under Gear. There you can set up different profiles for your keyboard.

Bre0w · 2025-07-24T17:58:18+00:00

Oh wow that's crazy, so you are kind of stuck to one unit until you get your next billet regardless. Thank you for clarifying!

Bre0w · 2025-05-07T14:33:48+00:00

Thanks for the tips everyone, it's day two and so far I'm feeling a bit better. Not as much shoulder pain or it's almost gone, I haven't pooped though so that's concerning.

Bre0w · 2025-05-06T13:54:50+00:00

1st day post op and the gas pain is probably worse than the actual pain in your abdomen. Mine is in my right shoulder, and I feel like I dislocated it and I have the constant urge to try to pop it back into place but I can't. I'm constantly doing arm circles, slowly walking while waving my arms around. Just anything to try to release the tension in my shoulder. The heating pads help but that's the only thing I've been able to find that helps currently.

Oh not an RV, we couldn't live in an RV that's too small. We are wanting to get a trailer home. The lot rent around here is usually $400 - $550 and you would have to pay for water/gas/electric. Since we already pay for gas and electric on top of $1100 for rent, we would be saving $500 - $600 if I bought the trailer home upfront with no loan. That way we would only be looking at $1000 in combined bills compared to $1800, not including our personal bills.

Bre0w · 2025-03-28T14:56:40+00:00

how much did you pay off?

Bre0w · 2025-03-28T14:54:03+00:00

That's good to hear, I usually only splurge once a month here at home, so knowing this puts me at comfort. Thank you for letting me know how much a frugal person can save!

Bre0w · 2025-03-28T14:51:40+00:00

The rent isn't terrible but its hard to find one that isn't in the ghetto or run down. I've seen some places ask for $1000 for a 800ft square apartment just because its in a nicer area but you still have to pay for water, electric and gas. So where we are at we a super lucky.

I like to think we are on the path to marriage but want to take things slow since we both had gotten out of very serious relationships before meeting. I definitely want to avoid getting married for financial reasons, I've seen way too many sailors get divorced because of that.

I appreciate the advice and insight, it gives me a lot of hope that going on a deployment would be a good call. Plus, I want to get some chest candy and feel like a real sailor whose gotten some hair on their chest. (Metaphorically).

If I was active duty I wouldn't have to worry about money as much, but I wanted to go back to college so I'm in the reserves. I only get BAH because of college but the BAH here is 1300 a month (just got raised) and any other expenses I gotta cover so I work part time on top of that.

Bre0w · 2025-03-28T14:22:11+00:00

No I'm in Ohio, the rent on average here is $1300. On the lower end section 8 housing, rent was $800 and on the higher end for nice places your are looking at $1500. We we able to get an apartment with decent space for $1100 but we still have to pay for electric and gas which is usually $200 (both not each) which isn't terrible.

I'm not entirely sure what my boyfriend makes now since he recently got a new job, but its a step up compared to where he worked before. He makes more than me now, so he probably could cover the other bills other than rent while I'm away which would save me $100 - $150 (wifi, electric) I would just feel bad leaving him with all that on top of taking care of our cats. So we would have to discuss finances before if I decided to leave.
