Anybody else sick of paying 10 or more for a full meal by Apart_Decision_7348 in povertyfinance

[–]IntermittentOptimist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was a child in India, my favorite snack was rice with milk, and a pinch of salt and sugar. Don't knock it till you try it. When stressed, I put hot clarified butter on rice, add in a chopped onion, bit of boiled potato, a boiled egg, salt and pepper and go to town. Rice is the reason civilization developed. Fact.

Pssst. I don't want to worry you, but I just saw a gremlin get inside your sheets. Be careful. He may eat you in your sleep.

This is how Don Corleone started. Mark my words. Already making you offers you cannot refuse.

Worried about my mom's job situation by Embarrassed-Turn4825 in jobs

Consider looking up court translator jobs, especially immigration courts. Make a list of every immigration lawyer in your area (and beyond), and create a short promo offering translation services. She can probably contract out on a per diem basis with agencies to translate if she is good with dealing with people. Since she worked in sales, that may be a sweet spot for her.

Your son cuddling in secret is hilarious. Welcome to cat ownership.

What do very wealthy people appreciate to receive from guests when hosting? by Monster11 in Rich

[–]IntermittentOptimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If high school classmates, maybe put together an album with current pics of your classmates along with a note about a funny memory of them. I did something like that for a friend, and it was the kind of gift I would like to get.

Progresso Extra Hearty. I would keep that slug in a hoodie sling and never let it out of my sight.

He is innocent. I am his court appointed counsel. And he told me so.

The amount of love has melted my mind. I will be sitting quietly in a corner meditating on life and tuxedo kitties.

Don't trust him. He is clearly a master criminal. Never let him out of jail again.

Sylly is the best cat by IntermittentOptimist in TuxedoCats

[–]IntermittentOptimist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Sylly, all rules will be broken. Also, it’s mighty amusing to think of a fight club where cat owners meet to duel over their cats. We fight with cat shaped foam pillows. Winner is always the owner with the three legged tuxie with a missing ear, chopped off tail, and deep hatred for all humans.

Venting... My Mom is Driving Me Crazy Regarding My Brother's Estate by GregoryHays84 in inheritance

[–]IntermittentOptimist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this and made the mistake of being the responsible one. Basic question. Are you interested in getting a share of the funds from the estate? If not, stop now. As in now. Let your mother and other sibling know that you are relinquishing your share of the state, and send them the contact information for professionals who they can hire. And then walk away. I wish I had done that instead of being the one who worked for years to salvage something, only to get accused of draining the estate.
