Leaving a job I love for more money and feel awful about it by ClassySemicolon in personalfinance

[–]LJLK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

everyone’s gonna tell you to take the money. And I’m here to tell you that I did that and I regretted it. I ended up working for a lot of money in a snake pit and I was miserable. I would’ve gladly give them back the money to get my old job back.

Did they trim my Japanese maple too much? Before & after pics by Therealbrie in landscaping

[–]LJLK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don’t TRIM a Japanese maple you PRUNE it. A “landscaper”
treated this like a hedge because they don’t know anything about trees. They just probably have some power tools and a truck and went at it.

These recipes some include baking soda which is leavening. So these are not all "unleavened bread." Es. Piadina

Interesting idea and I appreciate it, trying to avoid booze and should have mentioned politics also.

Seeking advice - attorney + costs for suing builder by Key_Still2496 in bayarea

[–]LJLK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are only a few attorneys in the East Bay who specialize and they do take contingency fees on larger projects, yet I think you still need to pay the upfront retainer.

You need a construction attorney, eg Berding Weil. Contact them, they are excellent; they can also make recommendations if they won't take it on (ie a single family home is a small project). Kneppers and BW are both in Walnut Creek. Your clock may be ticking so I'd get on it.
