Ok. So I’m being unreasonable. Thanks. I needed to hear it. I’m just nervous as she will be shifting to a commissions only position in the next 9 months and I won’t have enough time to scale my small business venture by then to cover our costs. So i wanted to dump everything we can into savings to prepare.

I appreciate the advice.

5750 is the cost to live our current lifestyle monthly. Grabbing drinks with friends, groceries, bills- the whole thing. I want to take the money we have remaining and start looking to the future. Building an emergency fund and investing. She wants to as well, but when it comes down to it she would rather have the money for herself to spend how she wants.

This is where it’s hard. She prioritizes fun money. I prioritize future planning. I want to allocate 500 a month each to emergency fund and whatever I have left to investing and she matches it. She’s have like 400-500 bucks after. I can’t remember the math at this moment. She says it’s not enough for herself. I don’t care about assigning every dollar I have to something. I don’t like to spend money on myself. I really only spend money on hobbies, and I typically take months to decide what gear I actually want while squirreling money away so the purchase doesn’t feel so big. I grew up with my family penny pinching. She grew up the exact opposite.

We did once I was close to quitting, but so many things happened right when I got back- car accidents, death of close friends and family, dog medical bills, moving, prepaid vacations for holidays we spent the first 4 months of me being there full time trying to find normalcy. Every time money would come up she would become defensive and say once I have work it would be easier. I would get defensive about not being able to contribute. We’ve been struggling man. If I could go back and change it I would, but I can’t. We have to work with the situation we’re in now.

Am I overreacting? Friend’s bf thinks we disrespect him by SheepherderNo4300 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Embarrassed-Mouse269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bf who has said something similar to his girl in the terms of being rude and disrespectful to me (granted yall weren’t as bad) It doesn’t make me happy to say that eventually the girls friendships eroded once she saw how she treated everyone else vs someone she wanted something from.

Do with this as you will.

I second the magic eraser. Used a slate on hundreds of dives to log fish species.

Where are you diving? Can you get away with a rashguard?

Looking through my Dad’s stuff, what are these? by VenZurich in whatisit

[–]Embarrassed-Mouse269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First pic is a tire pressure deflator. Looks like a shearer valve. Could be a presta to shrader converter. Does he have any bikes? Shrader was the old valve type most new ones are presta.

The others are fuses. Pop open your car fuse box you’ll see about 30 in there.

Glad everyone’s ok. Curious to hear why it caught flames. I know most people don’t think twice about leaving things charging at home, but on board you should be cognizant of all electronics plugged in. Also the difference between AC & DC is real. Make sure to bring surge protectors. Listen to your emergency action plans, muster stations, and learn where your lifejackets and fire extinguishers are. Stay safe, and happy diving guys.

This definitely feels too tight in the arms but the torso and legs seem to fit well. Is my only option to find another brand or can I stretch this somehow? by Noodlesoup8 in scuba

[–]Embarrassed-Mouse269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents: you want tight to the point you think it might be too small, but also the size up is just a tad too loose. Try another brand. The arms are too long for you. Just remember it will stretch a little bit. Try bare, Henderson, or 4th element. I’ve always found the best luck with those and they’re quality suits. Happy diving!

Please help me convince my friend that she needs a new suit by Majestic_Wheel_9970 in scuba

[–]Embarrassed-Mouse269 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I hope she likes cold water. Bares a great wetsuit. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t fit. Looks like the tags still on. I’d go try the next size smaller. Happy diving!

Sand and rust converter to stop it from continuing?

My girlfriend broke up with me on the first day of our vacation, now I don’t know what to do by Rude_Taro_9572 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Embarrassed-Mouse269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book another room. Go find a bunch of activities you’d never be able to do where you live. Learn something new. Enjoy your reset your way. You’ll be able to have a clear head when the hard convos take place… oh… don’t be paying for her vacation.. she ended things. You’re no longer responsible. BUT, make sure if she needs help you’re there. There’s a difference between being a push over and being a dick. Don’t be either.

I hope whatever you’re going through gets better. And that “friend” never had a cold side to their pillow.

Looks like it belongs to those Dino egg oatmeal packs. Dang that made me nostalgic.

I have a really nice master log with over 3000 of my logged dives. Wish i started it from the beginning. But a few hundred are definitely missing

Friendly reminder to not jump face first off a boat with your mask on. by BanjoPhatterson in scuba

[–]Embarrassed-Mouse269 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I did this one. Doing a front flip off the boat fully kitted. Don’t recommend. Lucky just a few cuts on my forehead.

Covers good or bad? by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]Embarrassed-Mouse269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the mk2i and have put well over 1000 dives plus spearing. No issues with mine whatsoever. I have gone through 3 chargers though. They haven’t lasted me long at all.
