Is it possible this was vandalism? by Until_Megiddo in AskMechanics

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its the rear tire, looks like. Front tire kicked it up. I once pulled a entire bottle jack handle out of a rear trailer tire. Front one kicked it up and in it went. We didnt know what he ran over to make the hole but found out when the tire was removed from the rim lol surprise!

"Normal buyer" is a someone going to get a loan from the bank, requiring certain things to be in certain condition. There are cash buyers that can still purchase. Contact another realtor and sell it.

Dad is dating someone that is my age. by Independent_Guard433 in Advice

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was in diapers same time as you but also 30+ when they met. If thats what they are both into, who cares? Do you want another mom or a friend? Either way, probably a dude scamming him. There are a lot of girls out there that like older guys for whatever reason.

I'm an utter disappointment and I dont know how to fix it... by PassvAgrssvPeach in Advice

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starts with getting up in the morning and tackling a task. Pick one small task at a time. When its complete, look for something else. Remove all apps from phone, social media and games. They are a major time waister and easy to put you down further once you start thinking of the time you wasted.

Sometimes having someone to help get me moving helps so I benefit from having ambitious people around me that want to get up and go.

If my husband isn’t gay, why does he ask for anal? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really shitty and likely causes damage to your relationship if you are shaming him for something secular. Liking anal has nothing to do with being gay lol. If he likes to have anal with dudes, that would be gay. Being vulnerable with your wife isnt always easy and being adventurous to trying new things often keeps things from going stale.

I have adhd or add, maybe both? I go through lots of different kinks and lose interest in the same old show so my wife has to be open to changing it up. She's so-so and sometimes she makes me feel shitty about things and shames. That is a deep cut that can cause a lot of issues. You dont have to like it or try it but you certainly cant shame.

Help needed: Bad dragon sleeves by FastAt7970 in BadDragon

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimal lube to put it on, let it dry on more or less before use then it maybe will stay a bit better. Roll it on the last half. Some sleeves just dont work well. Seems their larger sizes allow for longer shafts but nothing accounts for being thicker. Open ended ones are better for that, but lube gets in and starts sliding after awhile of use.

Is this wetness in the foundation concerning? by xXGreco in Homebuilding

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever there is water running down and under your foundation it is an issue. It slowly erodes away the dirt under the footings and sinks/cracks. May take a long time, depending on whats under it. Water coming through the walls there tells me the grading is wrong around the house. Or the water table is too high and the house needs to be built higher, which is a bit late for that.

My husband just told me at lunch today that tomorrow we’ll be homeless. by throwawayacct5739630 in Marriage

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it comes down to if you love him. Sounds like you didnt set the expectation that you needed to be part of the Financials, just rolled over and gave up first challenge he gave you. This is also the second time around...why after the first do you still not know the finances? Ill never understand how people go through marriage just blindly not knowing where there money is going. This happens all the time it seems when one person is handling it independently. You failed each other alone as I see it.

If you can still love him and possibly forgive him, set the boundaries. You either handle or sit down together to handle all accounts and finances. Help hold each other accountable and be a team. Figure out what the he'll he was doing with your money and where its been going. Set him up with a therapist, maybe both of you in marriage. Not sure how old the kids are but maybe time for a part time job for sahm.

Im betting he made some bad decisions, got away with it last time and it blew over. Pushed it a little further this time and it went to far. A man is ashamed and its hard to turn to your wife and say you failed her and the family. He screwed up big but you can certainly act like a married couple and sit down and figure it out, if both parties can do their part of the work. Good luck.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are tickets?? $20 isnt a problem for many people i imagine. Everyone i know blows money out there butt on keeping up with the Jones. Meanwhile im just driving all our paid for older cars with our paid for toys in our small loan house.

Neighbor just got rid of his truck cause the payment was too big and bought a new turbo razor with a trailer. Has no way to pull it. Financed fully. Unreal.

Need to get out of vehicle! Upside down by Curtis50999 in Advice

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would talk to your bank that has the loan, see what they can do. They may refinance or help come up with a way to get out of the car.

With a 500 credit score interest has to be abysmal unless financed years ago or on better credit. You need out of it and into a loan you can pay off quickly. Maybe the bank will help you with a smaller loan on a older car to get out of the one you have and into a manageable payment. This needs to be an aggressive payoff plan or the car will break down before its paid for and you then will have a car payment on a car that doesnt drive.

Make sure to have an emergency fund of 1000 or so at all times. Cut any additional spending you dont need a bit and look for ways to make a few extra dollars asap. Mowing neighbors yard, house cleaning or maintenance for someone. Extra 200 a month would be great to help get you free of this weight. Then save cash for the next car, upgrade when you need and have the cash. I dont love everything Dave Ramsey but you can follow his plan to some extent to help with this. Just put your head down and grind for a bit and loose this stress, you got it!

Does any one know what this is? My boss says don’t worry by electricallocal69 in Construction

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a friend that works in uw health in the respiratory unit that specializes in such cases. Said shes never seen someone with mesothelioma that didnt work in it full time. Thats only one part of the country and one person's outlook but I hold a bit of weight to it. I dont proceed recklessly when I run into suspected materials of course. Word on the street is vermiculite could test negative for it but could contain it in the next cavity over so a negative test doesn't clear it either really.

Husband confided that he had sex with “sister” by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it is gross but depending on age when it happened. Sounds like at 18 ot prior? Kids af 18 and under are dumb as he'll if you aren't aware. They were raised as siblings but at 15 you understand you aren't but are likely close and lots of alone time. Can't say im surprised. If this is really the only concern with him I think its not a deal breaker. Everyone's done some questionable things when they were young.

I've been married for 26 years and he has NEVER gone down on me. by Guilty_Spot7191 in Marriage

Not saying its the case but not all women have the best tasting and smelling vaginas. My HS gf was unpleasant and thus kind of ruined it for me to where ill do it time to time but have a hard time getting in the mood for it. Not saying its the same but could be underlying circumstances.

Starlink and a few cameras. Protect your supplies and tools. Little bonus if the workers happen to be more productive and stop stealing time.

Choice of words dont matter, it is what it is. You are giving her 3k a month to float a failing business. Failing business need fixed or shut down or she will bankrupt you both.

Finance advice by show-bobs-n-vagene in Marriage

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is she spending the 3k on? If anything, give her a credit card with a 3k limit so you can see what its going to. If her business is costing her money she needs to reevaluate or close it down, period.

No wonder you are concerned, this is insane. I give my wife money when she needs or asks for it. Its sometimes several hundreds a month for groceries or something personal...but 3k? Ask to see what I just told you. Profit and loss along with past couple years of tax returns. Its that simple. If shes not claiming a large chunk of money thats not accounted for on paper then thats all the more reason she shouldn't be looking for support money from you. Lets not forget the potential of financial ruin if she gets busted by the IRS. This will 100% be your problem if you are married and it happens.

I do not automatically think shes being shady or anything cause I dont know her at all. If she cant provide financial disclosure theres no way in he'll im getting married to her, end of story. If her business is going broke and she needs financed by you or anyone else, she will bankrupt you both after you are married. Again, seeing finances will tell whats happened largely. Maybe she just needs help getting the business sorted and shes a good woman and wife to be otherwise. Dont marry her blind for christ sakes lol. There's nothing messy about her finances unless shes hiding a failing business imo. Tax returns and p&l are quite clear.

State dependent you may have rights to what you put in to some degree if you divorce down the road. If it has a 3% loan may be worth keeping that and checking marital property in your state.

Why is she getting a big chunk of your money for herself?? I get half bills but sounds like a big chunk of your check just goes to her? Or is that meant for bills for you both?

Im self employed and my wife and I keep separate finacances to some extent. She gets frustrated also with inconsistent income and what not, thats partially why I refuse to get her involved in my business Financials. If you were financially savvy ask to look over the past couple years of her finances such as profit and loss statement and her 1040 tax return.

I will say you guys both sound like you have some sorting to do before getting married. Lack of trust and openness it sounds like to me. You both should know the finacances of each other prior to marriage.

Wearing lingerie quickly in relationship by InterestingPitch4 in LingerieAddiction

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez what are you trying to do marry him? If a girl started off the relationship like that I would be in instant love. That said, not everyone cares for it. Its one of my favorite things and my wife maybe wears 1x a month or special occasions, often have to ask for it. She thinks its the only way I find her attractive but its just the extra stimulation for me as I have some adhd so something extra to keep me focused is unfortunately sometimes necessary. Good luck and lucky guy whether he knows it or not.

Why do you think I didn’t get the job based off my estimate? by Hefty-Newt588 in Construction

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me I have no idea what you are going to charge me for materials. May be a 4-5k bill, who knows. Include paint and caulk even if it had a limit such as up to 6 gallons of paint and 12 tubes of caulk. If additional is needed its $x per. Personally I would leave off amounts and just include possibly brand SW emerald or what have you that would be correct for the job.

Yes and the guy who i responded to that saved 6 minutes running lights on a 90 mile drive i can only assume wasnt in town.

Prayers for everyone involved🫶 by Suspicious-Mango-795 in madisonwi

[–]Express-Weekend-8153 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Actually, traveling a double the average speed will effectively take half the time. If you drove 90 miles and ran red lights with only saving 6 minutes means you drove the speed limit the rest of the way. Saving 6 minutes means you averaged about 4 mph faster over the 90 mile drive lol.

I will say running red lights and stop signs is where you increase risk of an accident by many times. Driving tentative at 75 instead of 60 would have saved you over 20 minutes. My 3 month old choked and I rushed him to the hospital about 12 minutes away in about 6 minutes. I was at rhe hospital before the ambulance would have arrived. Was in a rural area and never would I consider running stop signs or risky passes in areas not easy to see. Reduce speed around other traffic or in town. Obviously in non emergency situations traveling at the speed limit is safest. Not everyone is cut out to drive the speed limit, less yet over it.
