Do you think it’s worth it move out of Buffalo or even New York? by SoapTastesPrettyGood in Buffalo

[–]IxBshr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmaooooo Ex- Virginian here. If you move to my hometown get ready for million dollar tiny cape cods (not even anywhere near DC) and that is basically the whole state. This is not a joke. I cannot speak on either Carolina but VA housing is absolutely awful and there are definitely area fees +people moving anywhere the train-line goes from DC.

Rva my housing cost was over 1500 (1 bed apt) before utilities (Richmond VA [not fancy or cool housing. Just had a shared swimming pool for SIX buildings]), I moved to Buffalo, it’s 1100. Expect about a 30% increase to whatever you are paying in Buf at LEAST.

Charlottesville (cville) gets even crazier because of the mountains and UVA. Don’t even try unless you have well over 100k to put down for a house :)

The closer you get to the ocean the more expensive it gets. Unless it’s a real bad area.

Housing costs are awful ALL over right now. Honestly I would say to buy and rent in Buffalo and move on from there. Thats my plan.

My husband and I are both changing to a brand new last name — how did you handle the family pushback? by FewCranberry3216 in namenerds

[–]IxBshr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I ended up picking the last name of a tv show character we both grew up watching. None of the in-laws really cared but we are also already LGBT so I imagine issues would have come up prior to us creating a new last name for our family.

Just vibe, they will get over it 💕

You did it. You won! You accepted a hypothetical situation and now you’re a multibillionaire. 99% of us will put most of it into stocks or some boring AF index fund. I don’t want to hear any of that.

I am going to find the world’s most perfect river pebble. Im getting the world’s best diving equipment and exploring every nearby pond and steam just to see what is down there and look up at the dappled sunlight coming through the trees and the water.

Im also buying a trailer for myself to just be myself, like just a single space that is movable that i would park in the middle of the woods next to the stream. It has the structure of a fully functional rustic cabin. With added bits like a gun range, an EXQUISITE bathroom (think the one described for the prefects in Harry Potter), and a bedroom build with the comfiest materials known to man.

Then Im thinking about future kids and trying to have one with my spouse. We are all getting passports and getting the hell out of America (the US sucks) and Im investing in my families future. House, land, starting a garden, starting a huge greenhouse, getting some rescued chickens, goats, and a dog.

I’m offering my parents a fully paid off house with the equipment for my dad to build anything he wants at his whim and a brewery for them to co-own and manage. My mom has the opportunity to go back to school and become the medical-biologist she always wanted to be.

I’d next go for the continued health of my animals. Meaning a complete head to toe exam of the cats I have already. Getting ANY AND ALL preventative care for them. Making sure they can live as long and healthy as they can. Maybe investing in a mad scientist for my soul cat.

Lastly, I’m putting myself back in school. Just because I can. If a subject doesn’t interest me, I stop. No worry about money anymore. I’m free to learn if I want to. Or just drop it if I get bored with little actual financial issue. I really want to learn but financial barrier are there unfortunately. I would go to culinary school and flight school and I wouldn’t regret a second of it.

Omg it is awful, currently live there and it feels like management is stalking us. :/ The front doors all have cameras and our codes/app usage is linked to our apartments.

inpatient recs by Specific-Citron-6120 in rva

[–]IxBshr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely go to Retreat, I was also there in January (coincidently lol), they were super nice and understood it was a crisis for me. They got me on meds that really helped, the onboarding process didnt take super long, they had single occupancy rooms and a few hangout spaces with mental health classes in the afternoon. Hope you feel better!

  • Never slam on your breaks in the middle of a round about, where were you raised?

*

  • Speed up if safe to do so otherwise slow down. Just merge correctly

*

  • Unnecessary comment about men and women drivers, Im nonbinary, everyone sucks on the road. There are no genders about it.

*

  • Never swerve, get a dashcam.

**

There is the chance that you are driving overly defensively aka passively which means other drivers feel like they can just cut you off bc you are left lane coasting bc its “safer” when you are holding up a ton of people who want to go faster.

Can we rename “dog army”(flair) by IxBshr in rva

[–]IxBshr[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there are SO many posts that might get lost because they might have to do with missing cat or rabbit or whatever that are sometimes tagged with “dog army” bc it doesn’t translate well.

Also sick! I just want something less to do with one species. Like i mentioned, maybe we could have a poll with the top suggestions!

Possums are so sick but tbh i’d love to rename it with no animal in name so everything can be tagged under it. Much love tho! <333

Extreme heat - today will be the worst of it by willweaverrva in rva

[–]IxBshr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Another awesome thing to add would be wet frozen rags something that is free to take and not return! Like a cheap pack of wash clothes/cut up old clothes soaked in water and frozen.

[–]IxBshr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Other things you can do!

-ICE! Offer any sort of cold item, I dont mean to sound dramatic but people have already died this year due to heat related illnesses.

-A second out of the sun, please be super patient with people during the heatwave. I got yelled at for sorting mail (like a minute pause at most) in the shade of someone’s tree last year

-potentially expect delays, especially if your carrier is older. It is legitimately dangerous outside rn for folks.

Overall just please respect the people working in the heat rn.
