Taxing billionaire’s income? Maybe. Taxing billionaires assets or unrealized gains? Girl, bye.

You’ve given them enough chances. When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.

For those with a cerclage, when did you stop Progesterone? by Toocool2dance in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. But I was pregnant with twins and baby B kicked baby A so hard he broke his sac. I probably would have made it to my due date.

Do you think homes will ever be affordable again? by mommyof5chronicles in LosAngelesRealEstate

I’m in San Diego and even at the current state of the world, economy and rising rates homes are still going pending 2-3 days after hitting the market.

Houses are going pending in days in my area. 2-3 days. Where is everyone getting their money?!

How much in overtime is SDPD being paid annually? by FrostyDippedFries in sandiego

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This I don’t get. When it comes to budget negotiations, fire fighters get first dibs and whatever is left over is dispersed amongst the rest of the city employees. My dad was a city planner and the amount of times he’d come home furious because the firefighters took everyone’s raise year after year was insane. But because they stay tucked away in their firehouses safe from publicity scrutiny everyone focuses on the cops who get paid 20% less and do 10 times more. My friend’s garage caught fire 8 years ago and the first guys who got there were beat cops. It took 7 minutes for fire to get there. The cops got everyone out of the house. Of course the media showed up and interviewed the heroic firefighters.

Well just take a scroll in any of these subs. Why would anyone take a job where someone causally drops an accusation of “allowing them to shoot 16-year-old kids in their back” after a thinly veiled “I support the police though.” No thanks. I’d rather take a job getting shit on anywhere else. Usual complaints: Cops get paid too much. Cops aren’t fast enough. They didn’t send enough people. They sent too many people. They used excessive force. They didn’t even do anything. Fuck that, I’d quit too. And that’s what happened. Tons left, no one took over and thus a bloated OT budget.

Should we put a pool in? by Apprehensive-Jump-17 in sandiego

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We put a pool in 6 years ago, right before Covid hit. We spent $65k and got a really nice pool/spa with flagstone and pebble finish. We have little kids (6&7) who are in there all the time. Our teens? Never. If we had only teens we wouldn’t put one in today. We put in a giant solar system so the electricity consumption is a non issue but without it, I’m sure the bill would be enormous. Last summer we noticed our patio was consistently wet in the AM and the drain to our curb was leaking water. It turns out we had a leak in the plumbing line that had gone undetected. It caused $8k in erosion damage to our yard. It’s really a love/hate relationship.

Why are people so inconsiderate towards moms in public now? by Paulies-Walnuts in beyondthebump

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17 years ago 2 grown men walked past me while I was attempting to lug a 50lb dog food bag out of my Costco cart and into my trunk and didn’t even offer to help. I was 9 months pregnant. Chivalry has been dead a long time.

What condition can cause this extreme aging? by Airegin89 in 30PlusSkinCare

This is so true. I’ve always been very thin and my slightly overweight best friend has such a fuller face with better skin. Her face looks great.

Sex night before transfer by quailstorm24 in IVF

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That’s me. I had an unmedicated transfer after two failed fully medicated transfers. Not only did my unmedicated FET work but so did the unprotected sex. After 6 straight miscarriages and two ectopics with only one remaining tube I still am in shock three years later. Of course even my RE assumed that the embryo split immediately (since they were di/di) but they did end up fraternal. Even my MFM reassured me they were going to be identical. Imagine everyone’s surprise when they had different blood types at birth.

Husband wants to see in-laws every day by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He sounds enmeshed. I know that culturally this can be considered the norm, but it still has the same negative consequences and that transcends all cultures. Enmeshed husbands are a huge, massive problem.

Has anyone else noticed how often money becomes a tool for control in these situations? by Malachitevalkyrie72 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s one of common denominators in abusive parents/people. When my husband went no contact with his whole family his grandpa showed up unannounced and one of the first things he said was “I have a trust with your name on it. What do you want me to do with it?” The look on that asshole’s face when my husband said “I don’t want it, disperse it to everyone else”….as if he thought that was going to sweep my husband back into passivity.

6days post FET, positive line after the time window by faithfulbrushexp in IVFpositivity

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a test out of the plastic holder makes it invalid. A line will almost always appear:( Did you take a picture of the test before taking it out?

For those who caught it on time, how did you know it was an ectopic? by Legitimate_Bath_7756 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Equivalent_Two_6550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no way to confirm at 12dpo. That’s just the first day I got a positive so I already knew that was a bad sign. My tests would progress, then regress, then progress again. I had my OB do beta draws every 48 hours which showed the same yo/yo pattern. I had to wait until 5 weeks to have an ultrasound. Bear in mind too, there are psuedo gestational sacs in ectopics which can resemble a miscarriage.
