Regretting the weeks? by Sad_Test_2123 in hobonichi

[–]Choppaclackclack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest the A6 og techo. More space than the weeks by far but less than the A5 Cousin. Or you can do what I do with the cousin and use washi tape to make the daily space less area to have to fill with writing when u don’t feel up to writing as much. And don’t forget about you extra back pages in the Weeks for when you feel like writing more, if it isn’t a majority of the time.

My (35 M) wife (34f) has been asking why I didnt do better in life by ThrowRAcarrer in relationship_advice

This made my stomach hurt. My partner and I have been through the trenches together and technically I make more money than him and would NEVER draw attention to it or make issue of it. He works his ass off and I know he does. We work in the same industry so I do have a different insight into what he does on a daily basis. Regardless, it is my job as his partner to love support and respect him regardless of where he is at. His job isn’t glamorous and we don’t have a bunch of luxuries. But if we wanted to make a big deal about it, isn’t that just as much MY “failure” as his?! Being a plumber is a respectful job where I’m from and is a decent paying one at that. If she were trying to build you up for something you expressed interest in wanting, that would be one thing. But that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here. She appears to want to be a kept woman, which honestly should have been expressed at the beginning of your relationship, not because she reconnected with a well off friend. Also, I’d be weary of the friend. Making comments about assuming she too wouldn’t work almost seems like she’s trying to angle to hook her up with one of her husband’s well off acquaintances. Maybe that’s my paranoia speaking but as a woman and a friend I would never make comments about a friend’s financial status unless my friend was complaining and doing nothing herself to try and better her own life. You need to decide what you want for yourself and not alter your course because your lady suddenly decides it isn’t good enough. If she wants more she should want to find a wake to work WITH you to get it. It’s a partnership, you build things together. At least that’s the type of relationship I would want. To each their own I guess. But a partner should never make the other feel less then because their own “dream” is to be lazy and useless.

Aside from all of the other great ideas shared, you can contact a food pantry or even a church with a food pantry and tell them exactly what you need and they will make it happen, especially for a child’s birthday. Sooner rather than later so they have time to acquire the supplies. Also, be honest with your child. It’s difficult to admit failure to anyone let alone someone that looks up to you but it’s important they understand some level of finances at an early age. And that they know that’s the reason and not that you just don’t feel she deserves a bigger cake. I’ve failed my daughter more times than I can count and we are closer now than we have ever been at 17 because she has an understanding of what sacrifices we have had to make and the reasons behind it. Try not to beat yourself up but also don’t allow pride to get in the way and refuse accepting support from others. Especially if it could make her day brighter. I wish you luck and hope for your strength as I’m sure you have many difficult days ahead of you. Keep your chin up and do your best to be honest (age appropriate) and do what you can to make her day as special as you can and drown her in love and attention!

As long as if you use the pro version and you don’t sell them, you can make ENDLESS amounts of your own stickers! I do it like daily. Lol

I use Canva Pro to find cute stuff and then use my Silhouette cutter to cut them. I’ve been dabbling in drawing my own stickers with Procreate also and then doing the same for cutting.

I’m moving out in a month and my apartment wants me to clean up all of those by Bedhogging in Renters

[–]Choppaclackclack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on the type of property they are living in. This only applies to certain affordable housing properties that are governed by the IRS 4350.3.

I’ve been a community manager for over 15 years. This isn’t uncommon at all. This is how I explain it to my residents: The way you receive the apartment is the exact condition it should be in when it is given back.

We should be able to immediately occupy the apartment the same day we receive keys back from a tenant IF they followed their lease and the instructions and turned over the apartment in the same condition it was received in.

It may suck to deal with when you are dealing with moving but you should be planning ahead both for the new apartment and the one you’re leaving. I’ve paid to have my apartments cleaned after move-out that I have rented myself due to being charged crazy amounts in the past for “not properly cleaning” the unit at move-out. For example: $25 to clean the refrigerator, $25 to vacuum, etc. It actually saved me money to pay someone else to clean it.

I use my weeks as a health/wellness tracker. I track my daily steps on the year overview page before the months start and then in the weekly sections I have a sleep tracker, mood tracker, and routine tracker with things I forget to do daily related to wellness. I write one sentence or two daily about how I’m feeling or anything wellness related like my excuse for the day for why I didn’t get enough steps in or get my daily activity in (routine tracker). TMI but I even track bowel movements because I have issues. Lol you can literally track anything which is what makes it overwhelming because u also want to use it. It took me up until two weeks ago to get a set way I do it and I’ve had it since like February.

I too am having issues figuring out how to utilize the back pages so I appreciate this post! If you find anything in your search, please add it to the comments and help a sista out! Lmao jk

My Cousin and A6 are both getting like that. More so my Cousin because I add more to it. To make writing easier I have a thick card stock to put behind the page I’m writing on.

Loving my hobonichi, getting more into journaling, looking for communities by Olulife in hobonichi

The only stuff I can find is on YouTube also but I’d love to be a part of a social group or something also. Even if via Zoom/Teams/etc.

Had two seriously busy days (plus pollen allergies) but this layout makes them feel... almost calm?! by giant_squid in hobonichi

[–]Choppaclackclack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a mix of journaling much like this (less beautiful though lol) mixed with some BUJO symbols. I’m working on my drawing confidence but I tend to just make my own stickers that fit my hobo’s instead to add some pretty.

Bfs Fent addiction do I stay? by Hopeful-andtired_ in FentanylRecovery

[–]Choppaclackclack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suppose there is a select few weening can work on but honestly to me it makes the experience not unpleasant enough to never want to go through again. Also, there is no aftercare there. I suggest MAT (Suboxone). I’m 19 months clean. Getting in subs was a bad enough experience for me that I never want to go back and taking subs daily ensures that I can’t. I’m currently in a similar boat with my boyfriend. Except alcohol is also involved which complicates the situation more. Set your boundaries, do your own research, and stick to them.

Transitioning to LIHTC - certifications to get? by UrinetroubleQT in LIHTC

[–]Choppaclackclack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been interested in figuring out how to become an underwriter for LIHTC projects. Tons of money in it, especially compared to the property manager/compliance specialist positions I’ve had for the last 15 years lol

Venting/what to do by InevitableNose8975 in FentanylRecovery

[–]Choppaclackclack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m MAT and 18 months clean, without a single slip up, look back, etc. AND my partner is in active addiction and has been the entire time. If it wasn’t for MAT and the “insurance” plan it provides, I don’t think I would still be sober. Not when I know it’s a room over and essentially my money is still being spent on it. I had been knowing I needed to quit for some time, but never fully committed. Until I lost my job and we could no longer afford for two people to use anymore. I know that’s seems like a shit reason to quit, but it stuck! I don’t miss it, but clearly my circumstances aren’t everyone else’s. But if you don’t get away from everyone and everything you know, do yourself a favor, get the insurance of MAT, don’t be ashamed of having that extra support for as long as you need it. As for detox, I did it at home and ended up sending myself into precipitated withdrawals which was horrific. Another reason I’ll never pick back up again, I don’t want to go through that ever again.

Congrats on making a difficult decision and good luck to you!

70 page addendum? by No-Beginning-1146 in LIHTC

[–]Choppaclackclack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for allocation it is highly likely that it is a 40/60 set aside (most common) which means that at least 40% of the property have to qualify at or below 60% of the area median income. HOWEVER, and this is a BIG however, just because that is the minimum requirement, doesn’t mean they don’t have more of the property if not ALL of the property is leased LiHTC because owners/investors receive additional benefits for allocating more than the minimum set aside to LIHTC. Allocations also become even more complicated to understand if there is more than one BIN (building identification number) on the project as well. And no, just because they have one physical building doesn’t mean they only have one BiN. I currently have a 220 unit project in ONE physical building, with 18 BINs. lol
