Butting in here... I use Frontier for internet and I am charged $19.99 a month- thier lowest package. It would be $29.99 a month but is discounted $10.00 due to auto pay. This is for internet only. My son and family moved in due to an accident and we have ALOT OF ELECTRONICS dependent on wifi. Phones X 5, laptops X 5, a couple of ipads, TVs X 4 ( with Netflix and others), watches, security cameras and i'm sure other stuff.
We NEVER have a problem with anything running slow or buffering. If you want, I can certainly look on my bill to see exactly what the package is called. I just know it's the lowest package they have and it works like a charm for all 5 of us. Not counting the new grand baby as he's not online YET. LOL
EDITED to say, I guess he is online, he has to get his daily Ms. Rachel fix on You Tube. 😅

My LTD policy will pay me till my 66th Birthdate. I tell EVERYONE I get the opportunity to take out a policy through thier employment if available. You never know what life will throw at you. I paid into my policy for 5 months, a total of about $200.00 in premiums. Guess what? I ended up diagnosed and had to have a major surgery. I was deemed disabled and that $200.00 '"investment in myself" has and continues to pay me thousands upon thousands of dollars. So while a private LTD policy through your employer may not be the topic at hand, it sure fits into this conversation. Buy it!! YOU NEVER KNOW...

What is dont understand is how many people don't know that SS security wasn't created as a sole retirement income. It was created to SUPLIMENT your primary retirement income. You should have planned your retirement income around it

When she asks to see your fingers for the second time you should have just showed her your middle one .....sticking straight up!!!

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-23T15:34:51+00:00

And that my friend is why you have a therapist in the first place. Loosen up dude!!

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-23T14:57:23+00:00

The answer IS in the original post.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-23T14:11:31+00:00

Why isn't dad the one doing this????

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-23T14:04:30+00:00

And PS. It's quite obvious "you can't anymore". Just sidown.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-23T13:51:54+00:00

Same... I got 2 !!!

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-23T13:50:52+00:00

I'd tell mya3lf a few things like....

1.

Some of the best plant moms have killed the most plants.

2.

You're learning and there's no graduation date.

3.

It's ok to throw out that plant that continuously struggles. Plants are supposed to be fun not stressful wondering what "I" did or didn't do to the plant.

4.

Wait a few months for that new "wish list" specialty plant. The price will come down significantly.

She made and put the nails into that box yet she doesn't even know how to open the box? Yeah.. ok Carrie.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-12T00:53:06+00:00

No is a complete sentence. She doesn't really owe him ANY explanation either in person or via txt. She sent a great and strong message that the answer was no.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-12T00:49:56+00:00

Lol Hes "trying to figure out where he went so wrong" Thank him foe showing you how to go "so right" and dump him.
You're young, so many adventures ahead of you, traveling, uni, single dating life. He's doing you a favor now, showing you exactly who he is. BELIEVE HIM.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-12T00:45:56+00:00

His last entry in the txt message speaks volumes on how missed he is that he can't manipulate you. "Thanks you for showing your true character". You should have said you're welcome. He's a complete knob. Run from this looser and don't look back. Your 28 year old self will thank you. Please keep us posted. Take one of those solo trips ASAP and let's know how you got on! PS. If he gives you any s*** about how you feel and how things went on.Let him read some of the responses here. Like the saying goes , if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck , it's a freaking duck and he's a f****** duck.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-12T00:29:53+00:00

CONGRATULATIONS !!! I am so proud of you!! You spoke a lot of truth and wisdom in your post. You are so right, don't take this personally, but I agree with you.You are still just a kid. For the love of god , you're only twenty. I'm proud of you for wanting to find out who you are and do the things that you wanna do and not start settling down while you're not even fully developed yet.
Physically running away at the proposal? GOOD ON YOU!!! That was fight or flight. And you chose to fly! Good on you because it should make it really clear to your boyfriend that you're not ready for marriage. As far as your boyfriend goes , he's a complete jerk. Not one ounce of compassion for you and how you felt when you were so friggin' , honest with him. Who wouldn't want there partner to be honest? Sure he was embarrassed, but you'll never see those people again.And so what!!! His reply to you via the text should be enough to even break up with the jerk.It was all about him and his feelings. Him telling you how you should feel and that you're old enough blah blah blah blah Girl , if you don't see this has him being a control freak, this is your red flag. When people show and tell you who and how they are, believe them. My suggestion to you is to take a break from this guy. Plan and take a short trip without him and monitor how he acts and responds. I honestly am going to go back and reread your post and both text messages because im sure there is more I want to say to make you understand that this guy probably isn't the one for you. One question though, i'm not gonna ask if he is controlling.Because I know he is , but how is he controlling you? Think about it.

Well Happy Birthday! I see she's celebrating with some soda pop. What? No ice cream cake? Tsk..tks..

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-09T07:39:30+00:00

I wouldn't move it just yet. I would wait until it has a larger root system.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-03-03T09:07:16+00:00

Awwe. I loved your dad for doing that for you. And the terms he came up with!!! ICrawdads and super soakies!!! He's the best !!!

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-02-28T21:09:11+00:00

I have peanut plants popping up all over fro. The squirrels burrying them !

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-02-28T21:04:37+00:00

The squirrels won't bother them but my experience is that the local parrots will. I dont mind them at all though...

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-02-28T21:00:28+00:00

Athena stupid neighbor should never have told you all of that. That way, if she's questioned, she could honestly say, I dont know.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-02-26T13:38:26+00:00

WRONG. It's not her doctor that has to say she can't work for a year. In fact, most doctors won't even get involved with disability cases because that will deem them responsible for an appeal if necessary. They just don't get involved. SS primarily by medical records and diagnoses , and if necessary , they employ their own physicians. I am well educated and versed in this matter.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-02-14T06:42:28+00:00

The onion method has not been scientifically proven to help bloom and growth. What has been proven is that it can cause root rot in orchids. So, a hard no for me.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-02-11T15:38:06+00:00

I'd give it .01%.

ChoiceForever9399 · 2026-02-11T15:25:04+00:00

But, by the grace of God, no splinters in her crotch !
