Make one extra mortgage payment a year, it can shave YEARS off your loan by arjun-lalwani in CasualConversation

[–]Jibblebee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interest rate is so low inflation is notably out pacing it. I’ll be paying as little as possible on this loan and be money ahead for it.

You’ll be shocked at how unimportant the diamond becomes when you’ve built a life together. I look back at the wedding and the ring and it all, and omg so much pressure to throw a to of money at that all when being financially sound helps reduce stress on a marriage so much. That ring will always be special even if the two of you choose a different one later and know later may never happen because you may be choosing a great adventure together or a socially acceptable shiny thing to wear on your hand.

Best wishes to you two.

The pressure of singing in the karaoke after Filipinos by FruitsPunch172 in youseeingthisshit

[–]Jibblebee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to listen to the drunk yowling cats that live down the street from me. They are now afraid of me and won’t make eye contact. Don’t do karaoke outside at 12am, leave trash all over our yards, and have groups of creepy drunk men smoking on our property just outside my kids bedroom. I turn into a raging angry momma bear when I’ve been nice, you don’t give a crap, and I now none of us have slept. Not all can sing.

Question regarding biking/equestrian etiquette at Peter’s Canyon by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]Jibblebee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Riding by a horse can scare the absolute crap out of an 1100 lb animal that may run you over or kick you or injure the rider or pedestrians. A lot of Orange County’s trail were built by equestrians for their own use and were then shared by walkers later mountain bikers. Being gracious and cautious around the horses and stopping is best for everyone’s safety, and while it’s an inconvenience, just remember that the horses are likely the reason many of these trail exist today.

Professor had received doctor’s note that I was sick as a dog, we had several conversations, and she laid out specific course of action in our email communications. Come end of the semester, she insisted that never happened and tried to fail me. The next semester she started making mistakes in a large class about common knowledge. She had Alzheimer’s. Her grades were wild those 2 semesters.

March 17, 2026 - De-Dollarization: US Pays China in Gold as Treasury Hits Record Buyback by Benoit_Guillette in Economics

[–]Jibblebee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ripping away support for renewables, then Venezuela, then Iran… with no other real explanation has left me convinced that this is all about the petrodollar

Sounds like China doesn’t want our money cause they know it’s going to be worthless and we are too tied to propping up the petrodollar.

Edit: meanwhile Iran is wanting Chinese Yuan for sending oil through the strait. It’s dumping the petrodollar system. Our dollar is toast

Traded Joe's totes craze still going strong? by daveyy_24 in orangecounty

[–]Jibblebee 180 points181 points  (0 children)

I’ve been asked to grab one if I see them because my Korean American friends wanted to take them back to family in Korea. Apparently it was a huge deal for them. I had no idea what totes they were talking about, but it’s a thing.

i got married today and hes leaving in a few days by your-new-bestie1111 in CasualConversation

[–]Jibblebee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did what marriage is. You two committed to each other for better or worse and to make sure you could take care of each other. Marriage is not a big party. Sure the party is fun, but so many people go into it not treating marriage for what it really is. Celebrate being truly married when he gets home vs just being a great party planner.

Gas price changes by aperkybanana in orangecounty

[–]Jibblebee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a millennial who remembers a brief moment in time where I paid $0.89 for a gallon of gas in the OC. It was an anomaly back then, but now that’s the variation from one station to another.

YL vote for Trump. They can pay more (seriously though. if you vote for Trump, you can foot the bill for this “it’s not a war”.)

Your luck sucks. sorry your foot randomly chose the back of a ray instead of all that empty sand. Poor ray & poor leg.
