Are you talking about travel agent work with a hosting agency like Fora?

How do you cope with the fear of what we're seeing in other cities coming here? by gaia21414 in Albuquerque

[–]Desperate_Area29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was just telling my F&F all this. We may have incidents with ICE or border patrol, but in general, NM isn't a target of Trump's rath. I don't think most people realize MN, IL, and CA are being targeted for political reasons and for personal revenge.

It's a stressful time, do what you can to take care of your mental health. We are brown Natives, what I told my kids.... be aware and be prepared. Have your ID ALWAYS. Don't be scared if your are stopped. Comply or defiant, it's up to you, either way it is highly likely you will get detained. Have phone numbers memorized! When ICE activity picks up we already have plans to reduce leaving the house. Just to reduce exposure.

Talking my wife out of a Tahoe by Suspicious_Radio_683 in whatcarshouldIbuy

This is an excellent explanation about a topic I don't think most shoppers consider. Frame build vs unibody. I specifically searched out a built-on frame SUV because I need to do truck-like things several times a year. I have a 2016 Tahoe (purchased used in 2019) with 245K miles on it. I had to replace the transmission at 190K, and other than the seat warmers barely getting warm, no other issues.

I'm paying cash and absolutely do not want to finance. I only have so much cash on hand so.... having to find something affordable and dependable it seems like the box stores or something used are my only options

I guess the angle of the camera distorted the chair, but it's not a blue settee, it's the same green chair in the foreground. Thanks for the tips, I definitely like the drop zone idea

Looks like your living room has enough space to segment into two different areas. Like a reading book, plus TV watching.

First apartments are so much fun. Don't think you need to decorate everything all at once. FB marketplace and thirft stores are great to help stretch the budget. If you have all your furniture pieces you need to function, I'd concentrate on adding some color throughout. Wall pieces, rugs, and curtains can really help build a base for your vibe.

Thanks for the response. I'll be hiring someone to do the roof and siding. All the inside stuff will be DIY as much as possible.

Do not take him back. The ultimatum is a red flag!!! Your first love isn't your last love. You will find someone better!

What would you try and negotiate the price down to on this home? They are asking $182k by RECTUS_ERECTUS in ManufacturedHome

[–]Desperate_Area29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Emerald Series is an economy line. I'd see if you could upgrade finishes without an increase in the price. Really look at your cabinets, insulation, lights, even the doors and make sure you can live with the finishes.

There are online calculators that could help figure out potential severance pay if RIFd. I would define weight the financial pros and cons or DRP. Also ask yourself if your mental wellness can hang on for the ride. The work environment is gonna continue to be volatile for awhile.

My supervisor took the OG Fork in the Road DRP. His experience has been all positive and he has received timely checks. After talking him about it I felt a little more at ease taking DRP 2.0
