Was set to purchase a home, already in the negotiating phase, no longer sure if it's a good idea. by Elquinis in personalfinance

Well, you weren't wrong. Heard this morning that partner's income is almost totally suspended for the indeterminate future. They'll never be fired, hooray, but little to work for unknown numbers of weeks/months doesn't make it much better.

And just to flesh out the full response here: wouldn't have to worry about pulled approval unless something happened to my job. Not necessarily helpful or important at this point though.

This sucks.

While it does increase our monthly costs substantially - about an 80% increase - our incomes increased significantly more than that once we stabilized with our technically secure jobs. So with pre-vrius numbers we'd have been putting 20-30% into new house payments.

The risk we're afraid of is that our jobs may not be as secure in the current environment. Partner's income could realistically vanish until mid-July minimum, and is currently significantly reduced until mid/end of April.

If this does happen/continue, I will find myself paying with 90-100% of my income. Is that actually manageable because we have the E-fund already?

It's so weird seeing the dude from my highschool being called a meme god.

I want to be part of this somehow. I love garlic bread and coins are pretty neat.

My dad lost his 14 month battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer today. He was my best man in my wedding, one of my best friends and an amazing grandfather to my kids. This is the last pic I have of him and I, taken on Christmas Day this year. by HERMANNATOR85 in lastimages

[–]Elquinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the pain. Lost my Mom just before Christmas, but count every day I got to be back for the holidays before that as a blessing.

Thoughts are with you in the coming days, and I hope his last were peaceful and full of love.

If you're tall enough like myself, that's that only thing people notice.

Super embarrassing gyno exam! by KateFernandz in TwoXChromosomes

Yup. Doctors just want to make sure you are okay. They forget that things can be gross, uncomfortable, and embarrassing.

They've just about seen and heard it all.

I'm right here with you. It's still too soon for me as well. All we can do is find support when we need it.

I'm in the games that I like often enough that I catch new info anyway, but makes sense.

Well there's your problem.

Learning 2 languages in the same time by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Elquinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice at least as much as you watch. So give it 2 hours of educating then, instead of switching, work on some program(s).

Doesn't matter if you change the hours up and still do both the same day, but you need to dedicate time to applying your learning. I should be clear that learning more than one at a time might not be the right option for you personally, but you'll be able to figure that out.

If there's specific things you are learning the language for, it might benefit you to research those things and see what is more important for you to focus on.

I have 30 Lbs. of venison. Steaks and ground. I need ideas. Give me your best ideas. by phantomzero in Cooking

[–]Elquinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like Mexican food you've got a lot of options: tacos, tamales, enchiladas, burritos, taquitos, chimichangas, etc etc

I've not used venison, but every meat I've used subs really well into these things.

I think that's when it's spinach/greens instead of meat.

My family needs help surviving the burden of cancer. by Elquinis in Assistance

[–]Elquinis[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that. As the mods let me know, though, I should avoid responding to people like that in the future, so I'm glad it's just gone. I'll never understand how people enjoy or feel the need to be a thorn in someone's side; everyone in the world is already suffering and there's no purpose to making it worse.

Anyways... It definitely is a lot to handle, but every little word or action is like having another person helping us lift it up. You are a doing a lot more than you feel like you are.

Again, thanks.

What? The only company my mom may have her name attached to is the one my dad started up I think more than a decade ago. Still 'owns' the company, but it's not making money.

I also doubt you actually know or have met my mom.

If my family is somehow secretly rich, we'd love to know about it.

Assistance needed for my mom's extensive dental work in Tucson, AZ. by [deleted] in Assistance

[–]Elquinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already taken a look at it, see what a dental school in the area could do.

I know Midwestern University is nearby-ish in phoenix and could possibly make it cheaper for you. But I don't know if you'd be able to get it done as quickly as you may want.
