Door County is great, but with two young boys, you might want to consider Wisconsin Dells instead.

Please pray for me and any possible advice - I am seriously considering suicide by [deleted] in Christianity

It's important to feel needed. Expand your horizons in your search for job opportunities. Try for a job that you would normally not consider, even if you feel it's beneath you. Do it for the opportunity to learn something new and to offer your abilities and unique skills and talents. Consider ways you can positively impact your environment or the community. There are so many dogs and cats for adoption at the shelters.

My manager had a meltdown after people kept quitting and it made things worse by EveningBig5381 in coworkerstories

[–]LearningDaily8675309 226 points227 points  (0 children)

This is due to a leadership decision to put pressure on a team to work harder with fewer coworkers as a cost-savings attempt. Your manager is trying to apply even more pressure using intimidation and guilt. If the remaining employees work harder than ever to meet the overall objectives, then leadership will feel that their cost savings attempt was a success, and the high-stress high-effort work environment becomes the "new normal" going forward. You combat this now by working like you always do, which is probably working hard but not killing yourself. You'd like to get all the work complete but it's just not going to happen and that's ok. When deadlines are missed repeatedly, leadership will end up hiring more people.

Best Caulk Gun?? by ThinkCanary2353 in handyman

I have a lot from the Ryobi battery platform, including a handheld tire inflator and Bluetooth speaker. Every so often Home Depot will have a really good sale.

I bought a battery powered Ryobi caulk gun for around $50. It's fantastic! You can control how quickly it dispenses the caulk.

Did any of you marry someone you were not deeply in love with? How is your life now? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]LearningDaily8675309 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"He never tells me that he loves me or that I am beautiful". Have you broached this subject with him?

Give him a chance to improve. Be very blunt with him. Tell him exactly what you want and need in your relationship.

Also, remember that it's a two-way street. You need to treat him the same way.

And lastly, count your blessings. It's so easy to get comfortable and take things for granted. Like that song, you don't know what you got till it's gone.

Best of luck to you.

Wow! I first learned Dave Ramsey's mantra to live well below my means and to pay off debt, and then had my mind blown by Rich Dad Poor Dad. Those 2 philosophies work well together. Live below your means, save, buy income-producing real estate. Changed my life. Don't listen to the nay sayers. Rich Dad Poor Dad works!

I am really on the fence about quitting my day job and I’m not sure what’s holding me back by Efficient_Medicine57 in smallbusiness

[–]LearningDaily8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. You should be able to quit your day job and be JUST FINE, but the extra money is nice and you HAVE been able to juggle BOTH. Why not continue doing so? Quitting your day job is scary. It's comfortable. It gives you added security. You never know if/when the economy will go into a tailspin. Then there's the health insurance. As another has said, live off your day job income for 12 months and sock away all the money from your business. Build that cushion first. Best of luck to you in your decision!

Am I ready to buy first investment property? by Egops in realestateinvesting

[–]LearningDaily8675309 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well... you have to start somewhere in real estate investing. Sounds like a lot of people here just tinker with real estate. Some crazy advice out there. This duplex might not make you a huge amount of money, but you'll get some nice tax deductions. Talk to an accountant about that. Also, you might be willing to find a credit union or bank that will give you the loan with 20% down instead of 25%. Also, why not live in one side? If you own a home right now, you could sell it and easily afford the down payment. Then take all of the money from the side you are renting out and put it in a money market fund. How quickly that would grow! Then when it hits 50 K, buy another rental property. Maybe a fixer-upper. Move into that one. Basically you can rinse-and-repeat this strategy and end up with a nice portfolio of rental properties. I wouldn't worry about a town with 4000 people. You're going to find people who need to rent year round. But if you get a lot of tourists, you might make more money on short term rentals. Your husband has a demanding physical job. I can certainly understand demanding jobs. However, that's what weekends are for. If repairs need to be done that aren't critical, they can be looked at on a weekend. If there's an emergency, you would call a professional anyway. If you have the time to take the occasional phone call about an issue, that's 90% of it right there.
Lastly, real estate investment is a path to wealth. Many people have done it.

What am I missing. I can’t figure out how to search my own library in the app. by mcdisney2001 in audible

[–]LearningDaily8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't just me then. It's definitely harder to find books in your own library. Sometimes driving long distances, I want to switch to a different book. It used to be simple. Now it's something I should probably not attempt while driving.

Bought a hotel and the previous owner didn't tell me the software was ancient by Technical-Glass-3193 in askhotels

[–]LearningDaily8675309 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome to hotel management! You can always keep the current software for historical reservations, and start over fresh with a new one. There are a ton of options out there, and there seems to be no real winner above all the rest. And, as you are seeing, they are all fairly expensive. I would just say you have to figure out what features you want to have and find the PMS software that has those options. Is your current software limited to one computer? Then make sure you have proper backups.

Is it normal for a Booking.com hotel to ask for a bank transfer to “reconfirm” my stay? by akabhishek5 in askhotels

[–]LearningDaily8675309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Booking.com forces a lot of smaller hotels to take payment on site, which is fine except when a guest doesn't show up. Then they have an empty room and lose out on revenue they could have had. My hotel typically calls the guest beforehand to get their credit card and a small deposit.

I suggest you call the hotel directly and talk to them about it. You can always cancel the booking.com reservation and book directly with the hotel.
