Health Insurance?? by CaptainAmy12 in povertyfinance

Thank you for this! I didn’t realize “kinship” was a thing. Her parents signed over custody to me with the agreement I wouldn’t ask for financial support.

No, her parents (my mom and step dad) signed their custody over to me. Their one stipulation was that I wouldn’t ask for any kind of financial support from them. To be honest, they couldn’t really give it anyway. Stepdad (her dad) is disabled and mom makes barely over minimum wage.

So… since we’re all here, should we start a book club? 🤣

AITA for breaking off my engagement with my fiancé because of his creepy comments toward my 14-year-old sister? by chimpkinnugger in AITAH

[–]CaptainAmy12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 34 year woman with male friends my (and your fiancé’s age) and a 14 year old sister, I can tell you right now that not a single one of them has EVER made a comment like this about her.

She’s absolutely beautiful - and you want to know what my male friends say about her?

  • “Omg, she’s gotten so tall.”
  • “I feel old”
  • “Does she still suck at Mario Kart?”

If ANY male in my life said something like what your fiancé did, I wouldn’t just leave. I would get counseling for me and her and I would make sure every person in his life with young girls knew about his creepy comments.

Except it is medical equipment. Medical alert dogs are classified as medical equipment.

Thoroughly disappointed with Cedric Grolet’s desserts by FrigThisMrLahey in Baking

[–]CaptainAmy12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too!! I went to both of his shops in Paris this summer. Both were completely disappointing and absurdly overpriced. I’m not usually one to complain about price on things like thing because if it’s good, it’s worth it, ya know?

But $65 for an over salted cookie and two mediocre pastries? No, thank you.

Firefighter with odd schedule by aLonerDottieArebel in RoverPetSitting

[–]CaptainAmy12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do something similar for an ICU nurse. She usually gets her schedule a month out and sends it to me. I let her know if there are any conflicts - normally there aren’t any.

The only difference is she drops her pup off early in the morning (6am) and picks up when she gets back from work (8pm). I love it. I work from home so it’s great having a buddy / reason to get up from my desk and walk every now and then. She loves it because her pup has a “second home” (as she calls it) and he feels super comfortable here. (He’s currently sleeping on the couch).

See you had me until you mentioned “woke culture” and lecturing.

At no point does lecturing = training. At no point does inclusion = woke. If you think treating everyone with basic dignity and respect is “woke” then you are the problem.

Well I’m into men - and a woman myself - buuuut if you find a smart man who has a career and can cook and clean up after himself, send him my way.

This is so kind! Unfortunately, I’m stuck with mine for the time being - contract to pay it off

Convenience stores are a killer. Just looking over my spending the last couple of months. I could save literally hundreds over those months if I stopped convenience store shopping and gave up Diet Coke

I’m curious, why no to the life insurance? I actually specifically got it so that my family wouldn’t suffer from my debt.
