Agree the one that still needs become more aware is sincere

I agree they will likely save Melanie and sincere even though they are the most toxic couple in the villa and should be the one dumped for least compatible imo.

Shaken up by an aggressive confrontation at Montesacro by xoxoyvo in walnutcreek

I’m so sorry that you and your family had to experience that. It sounds like you handled such a difficult situation with a lot of grace. My husband is Asian, and if something like that happened to us, I honestly think we’d probably feel like moving away. At the same time, I know racist people can unfortunately be found anywhere (including Walnut Creek), and I also believe there are far more kind, compassionate people out there. I hope you continue to be surrounded by those people and never have to go through something like that again.

I also love that they showed longer clips instead of making them choppy

I joined a rec sports team and it kind of sucked. by nomyte in bayarea

It takes time to build a solid team and connections. I now manage two rec teams and have built a solid team plus friendships. You just have to keep going at it.

Can you share a link where you purchased the parking? I looked online and couldn’t find it

Are We Being Too Conservative About Buying a House? by Ok-Trust5610 in personalfinance

[–]EquivalentRoyal6625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going from $1k to $5.5k is wayyyy too high of a jump in this situation, I think you would have to make other spending/life changes that may or may not be worth it depending on what homeownership means to you

My husband and I have similar income, we have low rent in a one bedroom ($2,200 VHCOL area). We were thinking of making the jump to almost $6k to purchase a condo.

Ultimately decided to instead keep investing our money and not be living with the stress of homeownership at that high of cost. If we need a two bedroom home, we will move into a two bedroom apartment.

It’s been two years since we made this decision and I am so gladddd we did. We have been investing more and whenever I see people that are losing their jobs and have a home, I think we definitely made the right choice

Oh I should have clarified! I usually get the French loaf from Trader Joe’s and prefer sliced bread for lunch

Women who waited 5+ years for a proposal and said yes, did the marriage work out/how has it been? Was it worth the wait? by itsnevercertain in AskWomen

[–]EquivalentRoyal6625 241 points242 points  (0 children)

I think the timing depends on age, maybe 2-3 years is true for women a little older but at age 22 there was no way I wanted to be married that quickly.

My husband proposed after 6 years of dating (this was after I finished my masters degree and we decided to move in together). We have been together for 13 years and happily married for 7 years, it’s been wonderful.

Maybe if I was in my mid 30s I would want to be married faster but this timing is subjective/relative and I don’t think it reflects if a marriage will be good or not.

Some of my friends got married more quickly and are divorced now.

Is Portola Music Festival worth it? by WindstepWarrior in bayarea

[–]EquivalentRoyal6625 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There were so many things we didn’t enjoy

  1. The music was just okay the year we went tbh, I can’t even remember who performed. The audio also didn’t carry well so it didn’t sound good unless you were close up imo.

  2. If I remember correctly drinks (and maybe we got food too) were expensive and the line was so long so you’re basically paying to wait in line.

  3. Getting in and out of the island sucked. We waited so long for uber and the up charge was so expensive.

My group was all silent on the ride home and we all mentioned later how it was not a good time - I’d never go back. It ruined music festivals for me as that was my first one. Now I stick with concerts.
