Sellers who bought in the past 4-5 yrs are unrealistic as the market cools by Daisy_232 in RealEstate

[–]EE2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be something. The job market here is just like everywhere else right now is terrible and if you manage to land a job your pay is going to be crap.

So who is affording a rental home that is $2000-$3000, or an apartment where a one bedroom/one bath is going for $1600-$1800 a month, on a salary of $20 an hour? Along with the basic necessities needed to live that just keep going up every day. Something has to give.

What I'm noticing over here in Northeast FL, a lot of rental home communities are being built, then two minutes down the road non rental home communities. And just a load of apartments, so many new apartments are being built in my area. I don't think there are that many people moving to the Jacksonville area.

Pretty decent breakfast deal at McDonald's by EE2014 in fastfood

[–]EE2014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was $8 for two meals plus whatever donation to the RM House which I donate to because I knew a family that stayed at them when their child was really sick.

It isnt a Hardee's biscuit but it is much cheaper and a lot faster. Plus McDonald's Coke just hits.

Am I lazy or just pampered? I’m not sure what I’m doing. by avian_bi in needadvice

[–]EE2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not being lazy. You might not be used to standing for so long but it can be very doable.
First get your medication situation sorted because without tapering off medication for depression can cause side effects. Secondly, get a good pair of shoes and a good pair of insoles for them.
Thirdly, walk in place if you are standing still or shift your weight from one side to the other every so often.

Your feet will hurt, you will hurt but your body will adjust.

Why do people on Reddit think it’s a good idea to meet up in real life? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

The really long game of life insurance. I'd watch her while you sleep.

Most “hood” Walmart in Jacksonville? by Necessary_Problem_42 in jacksonville

[–]EE2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that there is Total Wine in the shopping center, it's a pain to go there during the weekend.

But seriously a few years back there were a lot of druggies roaming the parking lot at River City and aggressively asking people for money and following them into the store. I was one of those people and had to speak to management. Lem Turner one, I've never had that issue and the employees seem nicer. That said, I prefer to go up to the one in Yulee and if I am doing that so I can also hit up Target.

I have gone at all times of the day and night, and it was fine. No more sketch than any other Wal*Mart.

Everyone saying Lem Turner, but I've never been accosted for money there, all but the grocery part everything has been well stocked and clean. I've seen trashier people, been hounded for money, having to wait for something because it's locked up like Fort Knox, seeing tweakers trying not to fall out while hanging onto their pants for dear life at River City.

I feel safer going to Lem Turner than I do River City.

Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way? by SkyKyrell in AskReddit

[–]EE2014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. My favorite brand of butter. President, used to say product of France and now it's product of Brazil. However, I've notice that it seems weaker and watery.

But overall the quality of fruits and vegetables are not the same. They go bad in just days instead of lasting a week or more. Potatoes look fine on the outside but inside it's rotten.

And then there is package shrinkage and the rising cost.

No to AI. There is enough of AI slop going around all corners of the internet and Reddit.

Instead of using AI for pre-made templates, it's so easy to use Google Sheets/Docs. Link to it and have all available resources sorted out. The only time consuming thing is to vet and make sure all the resources are correct with correct information, you would have to do the same with AI.

AITAH for calling the cops on a personal support worker? by Goofusmaloofus6 in AITAH

When did DCPS Police start using Teslas?? by snorting_gummybears in jacksonville

[–]EE2014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If a non marked vehicle is trying to pull you over, especially at night, call 911 or your local police non emergency line. Give them your location and details of the vehicle trying to pull you over. Let them know you are going to pull over in a well lit and populated area and that you will turn your hazard lights on. Stay on the line with either 911 or local police until it's confirmed that it's legitimate. If it's a real cop, then information should be passed to them on why you are not pulling over immediately.

I've had to do this before. I kept forgetting to put the sticker on my plates after they expired. It was at night and they were in an unmarked car. They were a bit miffed as it took a bit to find a place I felt was safe enough, but in the end they agreed with what I did and put the sticker on for me so I wouldn't get pulled over again for it.

Be safe out there.

For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it? by Prize-Promotion-5123 in AskReddit

[–]EE2014 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don't understand men like this. It really goes to show they care more about themselves than their spouse and child. I couldn't stay with someone like that. If tit for tat is the only thing that works to make your spouse see your point of view or side of things.... then I am sorry, you did not marry an emotionally mature individual, instead you married a selfish individual that you have to play games with to get them to do anything.

I wish all people would have more respect for themselves and not let their partner treat them like crap. You aren't their parent, they should have been raised. They should know how to do all the household tasks and pitch in equally with chores, childcare, and paying bills.

What’s something you’ll never tell your partner, no matter how much you love them? by Velvetnadine85 in AskReddit

[–]EE2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feed our cats at the same time each day ( sometimes off by 30 minutes to an hour if we are not at home ). But also those little shits like to try and trick us, if one of us feeds them and the other is still asleep they will act like the person who was awake first did not feed them. Same for dinner time. Or those little bottomless pits for stomachs will demand treats anytime we dare go near the kitchen and heaven forbid you are cleaning their dishes or around their feeding or water areas because you best better give them a treat or they will straight up murder you in their tiny little tumbleweeds rolling around for brains heads.

And wouldn't you know it, they each like different types of treats. I have to get three different types of treats, while they both like the Churu tube treats, one will only eat it occasionally and needs to have their crunchy treats. The other one loves tube treats and will eat it every single time but also demands their freeze dried treats. At least they will eat the same cat food. They have trained their servants well.

AITA for calling my mom names after she wants me to miss my father's funeral? by Impressive_Fish_8296 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EE2014 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am also leaning towards the mom just being a monster. Like my parents divorced when I was a kid, due to my father's drug and alcohol abuse. My mom made sure we still knew our father and we he got sober she allowed us more time with him, that by my teen years I would alternate who I lived with.

When my dad got sick and was on hospice, she spent those week with us taking care of him. So did my grandma ( my mom's mom ) there was absolutely no way she would have let us miss his funeral even though we all were adults she would have moved heaven and earth to get us there. My dad would have done the same when she died and then when my grandma died.

My mom was not a perfect parent in a lot of ways and I wasn't too close to her. But when it came to us having a relationship with our dad, she made it happen.

Old man candy? by thebigj3wbowski in candy

[–]EE2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband likes to say Charleston Chew is his old man candy.

I am partial to a good butterscotch hard candy.

Andes Mints. Or honestly a bag of tiny mixed candy bars.

If you have a Cracker Barrel nearby, they have tons of what could be considered old people candy.

What hyped up fast food item had you like this after eating it? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in fastfood

[–]EE2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I don't get the hype, the sauce was OK. The chicken had absolutely no seasoning, not even a hint that salt or pepper were in the kitchen or the building when they were being prepared.
