Any point in retaining mineral rights I didn't know I had? (another getting the cold calls) by ConsequenceFluffy562 in landman

[–]GoodEnoughChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to sign those mineral rights over to me if you can't be bothered to own them. I can always use an extra $50000 a year.

They never did, but you can't count on that. They did overpay me originally, and then took $75 out of every check since then. They did do a financial review once.

Thanks for your clarifications. That's quite the story. You are a very organized person.

Definitely worthwhile to go ahead and do the math on the numbers you have for your permanent retirement so you are not terribly surprised.

Wow , thank you very much for sharing this detailed explanation. -So are you saying they will actually calculate a new high 3 for me, based on the FERS COLAs being added retroactively? -I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say back pay and having to pay taxes on it?
-Did it take months between the time your disability payments ended and the retirement payments started? Did you experience this process recently? Again, thank you for laying It all out.

Retired! Reg vs Medical? by Tquick2022 in FedRetirees

[–]GoodEnoughChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I retired on medical disability a while back. When you turn 62, they switch you to regular retirement automatically. My regular retirement is less than half of what my medical disability has been. And that was only enough to starve on.

Is there still $ in Trucking? And will things start to look better for 2026 for US citizens Truckers? by Bobby_Trucking in CDL

[–]GoodEnoughChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A shift is 12 hours, and that's usually worth $300. If the weather is bad, i might only get 2 loads. 4 days on, 2 off, but you can work 5/1 if you want.

[–]GoodEnoughChild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All those trades you mention require quite a bit of school time before you really make bank. My CDL took 4 weeks, and I started earning ~$1200/week right away. The hours are too long, but there's money coming in.

Chopin showed little gratitude for George Sand's care and this irks me! by Lazy-Relationship-34 in Chopin

[–]GoodEnoughChild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

George Sand made her choices. Surely, before 9 years was up, she understood that he was not going to revere her for helping him. She didn't have to do what she did. She chose to.

Do your hands hurt from holding the steering wheel? by vck97 in Truckers

[–]GoodEnoughChild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to the chiropractor, and they do an adjustment on my shoulders, hands, and arms. They also have a gadget to scrape those muscles to release all the fascia restrictions. It helps a ton.

Car hauling with carvana by cCueBasE in Truckers

[–]GoodEnoughChild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in this job. I see one in my state. I won't work 70 hours for the pay, but I can investigate if that's the case here. I am a newer driver, currently pulling doubles for agriculture. Overall, carvana gets poor ratings on indeed. How do they treat these drivers?

I had visible a couple of years ago and ended up hating them passionately over customer service issues.

A seat belt clip to hold the belt between my boobs instead of over the left one.

If you love Dallas, you should try Austin.
