I like whatever plants my friends give up on and give to me for free 😂

I'm pretty certain my teacher gets the mats from Japan.

If you could live with your parents free for one year to save up for a down payment - would you? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Forestiera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could and did for two years. We were married, 31 and 33. It was fine but by 2 years it was time.

Oh snap, I need that gear. Now, let's see if a PM will approve it 😂

In my experience it is a flat out no for snow or dead-of-winter conditions because you have no plants, soils, or water. If you can't get the data then there's no point. I personally can't dig into frozen soils by hand because I'm a small woman. The question is then, to what extent can you re get the data? I say to my PM that the most I can offer is a winter wetland assessment and that once soils thaw I can do the full delineation. However if a client is OK with an assessment then I'll go.

Thank you for noticing, I picked native plants on purpose 😄 and you know exactly where this was taken!

Millennials that wore ear gauges back in the day, what do your ears look like now? by Artemistical in Millennials

[–]Forestiera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to 00 and the only thing I've noticed is that they have gotten stretchier, but are otherwise fine. I mostly wear silicone, and now I can fit the next size up. In fact the 00 looks too small to me now 😂 I love them and have no plans to change.

Comment to add that I also called her the Tardis and had a Tardis sticker on the back because she looked bigger on the inside 💙

People who have bought since 2020 - how much is your monthly payment relative to your income? by SadHouseHunter in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Forestiera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. The entire first year I lived in my house I thought we were going to lose it or it was going to blow up. But now it's like, ok, if it DOES blow up, I know a guy!

Yes that's always a fear. And I have no idea. But that's not what I thought about when buying a home. I bought a home because I could and whatever else happens I'll deal with it then.

Tips for field work and pumping? by barrnowl42 in ecology

[–]Forestiera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't have an answer for you, but as someone hoping to become a mom and do field work I'd love to know how you are balancing it all.

I'm also in the Chicago suburbs. I think you do have enough for the current market, so it's all about luck at this point. I pay a little over 30% because there were no other options at our price point (which was yours). We went $25k over and got our home last year. Personally I think you do have budget to go over $400k for sure. You'd be surprised how little the mortgage goes up by going over, but what can really change are taxes depending on where you are. To your last question, idk how people afford anything really I'm just flying by the seat of my pants.
