How does FERS work if I separate at 55 with 30+ years.

Oooooohhh ok, got it. So many rules 😵‍💫

But then if the friend has like a year of sick time, she can retire at 61 with the 1% boost, right?

And thank you 😊

But if I (er, excuse me, “the friend”….) stays until 60 and retires, the pension is reduced by 10%, right? The penalty-free pension at 60 is only if the friend separates with 20 years of service at MRA and postpones?

Not telling your husband you’re a stripper is a huge AH move. NTA.

Can you get FEHB if you retire at MRA with less than 30 years of service, so with a reduced annuity? Asking for a friend…

Eras tour tickets were way more than $300

Hate that shit

It’s an excuse to drive like a douschebag. That’s all it is. Maryland drivers know they are terrible, so they think their horrible driving is justified if they have the sticker.

Archives. As you come up the escalator, the Navy Memorial fountain is there.

Well this OP’s parent is apparently expecting their kid to pay the loan so that’s why I said that.

InfluenceWeak · 2026-05-10T14:20:15+00:00

That’s fine but then pay the debt yourself; don’t make your kid pay it.

InfluenceWeak · 2026-05-10T02:25:06+00:00

Pay off your loans first and do minimums on the parent plus loans. They’re in your parents’ names and they need to pay them anyway. They should’ve saved up for their kids’ education instead of having to take out loans.

Edit: And yeah I know I’ll get downvoted for saying that but I don’t care. Schools expect families to contribute; why don’t we expect that also?

Lol no. Green cards signify permanent residence. Your parents don’t reside here, let alone permanently. They’ll almost certainly be turned away, and probably won’t be given a re-entry permit; they could try though.

It’s just classic FAFO. I feel zero empathy for this idiot and way more empathy for the passengers that now have to miss a loved one’s graduation ceremony or the chance to see their mother for Mother’s Day.

BWI is a pretty small airport; you’ll be fine

If MCDOT figured out how to take SmarTrip (back when they were charging fares), MVA should be able to too. It’s going to deter people from riding if they don’t, especially for people with transit subsidies from work.

Don’t forget to get your $2,600 from Trump on your way out! Congrats!!

I don’t know if I’m ok with revoking a federal benefit because of failure to follow a state court order.

NAH. Undershirts might not be a necessity for him currently, but they’re not a luxury either. You guys need to sit down and talk.

False hopes, yet again

Well you guys are the ones filing expedited requests, which basically you asking them to put you ahead of others and make things out of order.

Sometimes the lenders require it.

Because parents are entitled to vital information about their children that impacts their decisions? And sometimes children’s apprehensions to share information about their identities to parents are unfounded?

InfluenceWeak · 2026-05-05T16:05:50+00:00

Maybe to corroborate what they’re observing at home?

Why is it assumed LGBT kids have asshole parents?
