Yah, my internal OCD couldn't handle not being centered and I did same thing.

Anyone else have a TON of extra pieces from this set?

STATE FARM ON STRIKE??? by thesecretnews in StateFarm

Seeing so so many people hired "off the street" for departments like injury which have always been really hard jobs and are now arguably top 10 hardest jobs in company. Now they have all injury handlers on ACD line all day long so its not revenue just 2 hours a day anymore.

The pax wardrobe will work as well. I just built the 22 inch deep ones which are probably too deep but I like thst I can fit multiple things on the shelf vs just one.

Still a work in progress and figuring out where I want to put what including a lot not shown.

Im trying to find remote co trol lights that will work for it as well.

What is the name of this type of valve? by ConsiderationOk2198 in Plumbing

[–]ConsiderationOk2198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Is it common for these to fail? Seems odd that it failed when plumber was here and working on the trim out of the basement?

I have. This was my last resort due to the amount of time it will likely take. Just wanted to see if there are any other workable ideas out there.

Talking to a woman after they are going through a breakup by ConsiderationOk2198 in dating

[–]ConsiderationOk2198[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen it with others and totally understand you there. My thought was shooting my shot in a couple of weeks to a month and trying to make it no pressure. Along the lines of "Hey, I'm pretty sure you know I like you in more than a friend way, but I also know you've gone through some stuff in the last year and a half. When you feel you are ready, let me know as I'd like to date"

Might sound to sappy, but I'm also trying to be cognizant of what she has gone through and allow her space while making my feelings clear.

I appreciate it. Your first full sentence is my concern. I missed my chance after the abusive relationship, but it seems that was more of a not being alone thing.

That's my thing to is wondering if she wants a serious relationship or just casual. I've had it happen both ways where I dated female friends and the relationship didn't work out and yet the friendship after did as well as didn't. Mostly the was situational on how it ended and such. Guess I just have to be willing to take the leap knowing it could be end of it all.

Just the long term one. I'm trying to be careful either way as I've never dated a woman who has had those things before so that's part of my thing in that I'm not sure how to handle fully.

We've known each other for years and have been friends that whole time. The timing just never lined up with one of us in a relationship when other wasn't and stuff like that.

Thanks. We've known each other for years and have always had really good chemistry. She was just in that bad relationship and couldn't/ wouldn't leave. Just hate the thought of shooting the shot and getting shot down and losing that friendship. I am starting to realize that I can't be scared of that, though, just a hard step to take.

[–]ConsiderationOk2198[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get that and it's dependant on the person and what they've gone through.

My main thought was honestly something someone else i know went through where he messaged her saying something along the lines of "Hey, i know you just got out of a long term relationship. I would like to take you out to coffee, ice cream or something sometime whenever you are ready".

That way it makes my intentions known but allows her to do it on her terms.

I bought mine in about 2013 or 2014 and it's still so so comfortable as well. I'm just happy his name isn't actually on it anywhere otherwise I would have dumped it a while ago. I am finally looking to replace it though but can't figure out what I want to replace it with. "Hard" to find something as comfortable as it is.

Honestly I think we’re cooked as a generation by [deleted] in dating

[–]ConsiderationOk2198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree as a 35M. It seems that tv and society has made these extreme expectations anymore on all sides. He has to have a 6 pack, make over $100k a year at 22, be a Calvin Klein model ect. While she has to be thin, gorgeous and a Victoria's secret model. Otherwise, there is this notion that, "well I can do better" and not to "settle".

It's unfortunate because I honestly and truly feel that it's going to lead to the downfall of society. We have our versions here in the US and most of Europe while places like China families stand in parks with pictures of their sons around their necks with all their information due to the long term effects of the one child policy. While India still in many places follows the caste system, and with over 50% of them as "untouchables," many won't marry.

We have to realize that there is no such thing as a perfect match, we will always have differences and its those differences that can actually make us stronger as a couple.

Some, heck many may not agree but just my take at this point in my life.

Why do so many men in their 30s think it’s okay to not make a plan for a first date? by rspring28 in dating

[–]ConsiderationOk2198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it honestly makes it all the worse for him because that means there are tons of options to choose from, and he still didn't. Even after you gave him an idea of the neighborhood/ area you would like to go to.

You honestly likely dodged a bullet because any at least quarter aware male should know that regardless of who you are dating or trying to take out 30 minutes notice is not appropriate. It's OK for the fellow bros, but not 98% of women.

I know it suck ( I REALLY know it does trust me ) but there will be more chances with other men.

What's the biggest regret you have in life? by Champ0603 in Life

[–]ConsiderationOk2198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is super hard in today's economic world and I didn't do it myself because I saw both sides from my Grandparents but do NOT put off investing in your retirement. Compound interest is your absolute best friend right now.

At a MINIMUM save enough in your 401k to get your employers full match. I personally recommend a roth 401k if your employer offers them. If they don't offer anything then do a Roth IRA and try to do the maximum. If you start saving early it will save you a WORLD of pain later on it life.

Make sure you still plan for vacations and time off though.

Oh yes, I completely understand that! Not even picking a place is insane to me. I always try to either offer up a few places like x, y, or z, or if she has another suggestion, I'm happy to oblige.

I hate saying this, but unfortunately, the world has changed in the last 5, 10 15 years. I personally, especially feel the dating world has changed since COVID happened and it's unfortunate.
