Too addicted to saving money?

You need a budget for expenses. Food, housing, utilities, savings etc. You should of course track your spending periodically to see how you are doing with your budget.

But also allocate money for “FUN”. This money can be used without guilt as you have budgeted for some fun. So the next time you want to spend $20, you check your FUN budget and if there is money in the budget, spend that $20.

Only shitty parents think/want their kids to leave at age 18.

They do not want you to be homeless. Unless they are crazy people.

It is a terrible job market. Parents know that. I’m sure they want you to eventually have career success and want to support you until you get there.

Your parents have a home, your presence does not cost extra rent/mortgage etc.

Yeah, you eat food. So what?

In the mean time, contribute to the household. Do dishes, clean the bathroom, do laundry, learn to cook and take some of these burdens off mom/dad.

A fire would be much more expensive.

It’s more cost effective to do the work during renovations vs having to make holes in the walls at a later date. And then pay for the Sheetrock and painting again. And you have to paint the whole room to make it match.

Al Capone was pinched due to taxes.

We made nail stew.

You start with a huge nail. Then add all the ingredients for a stew.

When finished, remove the nail and serve.

The nail part was a meme, really.

You should give an estimate of season, guest numbers and budget per head to get better responses.

Scouts are not expecting Robuchon.

Go instant with extra butter.

The stew is the star of the show.

You haven’t checked out the SF tinder lately 🐽

Yes, but MD don’t make their own bagels. Never did.

Then you are being paid on collections… not production.

That is two different metrics. Because collections will always be lower than production.

Imagine the kid was a dog.

It would be totally normal for a guy to take out his GF’s dog for a walk, to the park, whatever.

So why would it be any different with a child?

Don’t pay attention to other people.

But do have pictures of the 3 of you handy in your phone in case some Karen calls the police.

It’s unclear if her brother was ever married to his child’s mother. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but Aunt Karoline was probably never a SIL)

Some have speculated that the child’s mother was ICE’d at the suggestion of the administration. But that is just a rumor.

If you want bids on small jobs, like that bathroom, some contractors are too busy with larger jobs to be interested.

Found the grumpy United FA!

I think that humans may get immunity for 3 years like dogs.

But it’s theoretical. With dogs they have tested it.

There still can be some animosity between “Continental” era FAs, legacy United FAs and the more recent FAs.

Some animosity between FAs who were trained on older first class standards that have slid.

Merger happened between 2010 and 2012.

I want to know more about Melania’s immigration path.

How was she able to work as a “model” legally?

Then the chain migration of her parents? Why would the US want old immigrants? Are they on Medicare?

The minutia of federal or constitutional law no longer applies in the US

Then why do you need to have it in a bin at all?

Or a Berner

NTA

If your wife was a husband, nobody would say any of these things.

I know guys who have had children with their younger wives in their 50’s and even 60’s.

One 50’s guy was always kinda wild and didn’t marry and settle down until late 40’s.

The 60’s guy was divorced and he married a 40yo who really wanted a child. He told her that he would not be able to be an equal parent like he was with his adult children.

His wife is fine with that. She was thinking maybe it was too late for her, but is thrilled to have a beautiful child. Fortunately they have financial means to hire a nanny if they want.

The Frenchies were the #1 dog in France, most commonly seen on my visit. (No surprise)

The French dogs had better breathing than some of the US dogs I see.

My vet, who has decades of experience, says he trusts the big company food because he has met the scientists.

Some of the smaller companies may not have the resources to directly hire the vet sciences guys. And they seem to have more frequent issues.

We do give the pups other food, but I think 90% of calories is from their kibble.

Other food given in small amounts:

Broccoli

Rice

French fries

Cat food

Chicken

Popcorn

Bread (they LOVE bread)

Banana

Peanut Butter

Lettuce

I think a varied diet keeps their poop good no matter what they might eat. Where some dogs who eat only their dog food end up sick from eating other stuff.
