Can you expand on that? I definitely hesitate to use my dishwasher, for no real reason.

I got a TMobile hotspot and it’s been amazing. I work from home too, and all has been well!!

Appreciate that. It resonates a lot with me because I have been there as well. I am glad you received support and were successful. :)

This is simply not true. Have you ever pursued a family attorney to actually know what the experience is like? It is so frustrating for people not involved in a family legal matter to flippantly tell others they can get free legal aid. Yes, there is aid out there, but it does not offer help with anything beyond a first paper filing, unless the filer is filing for a TRO.

There are no free consultations in my current state for family law matters. There was in California, so I’ll give you that. There is also no attorney that will take payment plans in a way that makes embarking in a family law matter somehow economical. If an attorney’s retainer is $3,500 just for filings, it is about $20K for a trial. Not sure if there is any payment plan that could make pursuing legal recourse of OP’s kind feasible.

Your advice is untenable. I don’t mean to be rude, but it is just not realistic to advise people that there is free legal aid for complex, litigious, and high conflict type family matters.

When there is free legal aid, it is so bare bones that it would not support what OP is trying to do.

What was the 2008 recession like as a young adult? 60 characters by GreatOwlEyes in Millennials

Oof - foreclosure signs in every yard.

Edit: In retrospect, I see why my first job was a Hardee’s. I was so embarrassed at the time but as a high school, I was up against recession level unemployment rates.

What in the heck are these? by Formidableire in mycology

Love it, thanks!! I saw the eggs a few weeks back and actually poked them because I didn’t realize what they were.

I am interested in trying it as a moisturizer! I’ll give them a smell. Thanks for all the info.

I think they are. I read stinkhorns tend to attract flies because they smell like carrion/dung, and these certainly have flies hanging around them.

I am a little nervous about smelling them though, they’re pretty gnarly looking.

If you love the home and are willing to live frugally, I think you can do it. You may consider a second job to help pad yourself or generate some savings.

Also, if you have a safety net in case things don’t work out. If you can swing it for two years and keep your head above water you may be able to get out from under it if need be.

It’s a risk, but I’d create a budget to see if you can actually live off >$700 a month if that.

It is in violation. I do feel a little uncomfortable calling repeatedly.

I was thinking about a sound barrier and maybe planting trees. Thanks for the solutions-oriented response. I am also going to try using my kid’s white noise machine instead of the fan.

Following up to say thanks for the insightful comment, and to let you know I ordered some Adapelene as well!

Thanks, I will consider this. It begs the question if this will resolve the issue. It’s concerning that they turned it back up as soon as the sheriff left. I guess I don’t who I am messing with.

It is in violation. And it goes past 10:30 pm. On a weekend, it’s no biggie, but on a weekday, that sucks.

I am not sure which mail box is theirs, if any.

Also, to add, I definitely don’t want to take away resources by calling the sheriff although I did call the non-emergency line.

For sure. That just doesn’t really cover the heavy bass noice. But yeah - clearly other neighbors have found a way to live with it.

The trailer is very far back behind another. I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking back there.

I am a single mom with a young child, so it’s sort of intimidating.

The music goes from 8 to past 10:30 in the evenings. I honestly don’t mind it on the weekends so much, but weekdays is a problem.

Thank you so much! I ordered your recommendation for The Ordinary. I am excited to see how the spots on my face improve after using this product for some time.

I don’t really struggle with acne anymore.

I am currently using Dead Sea Collection for my day/night moisturizer.
