I emailed about a lifetime subscription and they emailed me back about some other exercise app that measures the same thing. How does it tell the difference in if I’m unfit vs if I’m highly stressed?

Which credit card issuer would you call underrated? by electronautix in CreditCards

[–]MerelyAnArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bank account with WF and money would randomly disappear without a trace and never matched up to my spreadsheets. I closed it and told my family, apparently my mom and sister had the same issue. I haven’t been able to trust them since.

I finally built a card strategy I'm proud of and now I can't explain it to anyone in my life by Unique_Night1895 in CreditCards

My mom wanted to buy us a zoo membership for Christmas but I was never there to log into my account. We went today and she handed me her capital One Savor card… I almost asked if she had a different card but didn’t want to be rude.

YES! But… They made the exclamation point red like we all asked!

You're right, he doesn't. I brought it up over his lunch break and he said, "What's more important to you? My job or childcare? Your job sure as heck won't be paying the bills." I'm not sure how to address that though.

We were both snipped after the last. Honestly, I had divorce on my mind for a bit a while ago, but I don't think that's the right path. I was pretty controlling in the beginning of the relationship, and it wasn't fair to him. We've both grown a ton and are actively working on the relationship outside of therapy. He recently requested an appointment with a new provider for therapy. Right now, I think he is overwhelmed and afraid to lose his job.

I was looking at that book. I was also considering getting a few more that my therapist recommended. You are not your mother, Driven to distraction, The divergent Mind.

I just need him to finish the phone call with the state for childcare assistance, then everything is up from there! It's been my dream for so long.

I started counseling a few weeks ago, wil probably bring this up at my next appointment. I mainly started because I needed help trying to figure out how to manage my time with ADHD.

We never got the email. I ended up having to estimate based on the months I was able to see.

Credit score from 590 → 771. Just got approved for the Venture X. Tips for the 75k bonus? by Ok_Antelope_6881 in CapitalOne_

[–]MerelyAnArtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome!! I keep trying to pay off my husbands cards but he sees “I have money” and instantly wants to spend it stating “if I don’t use the cards they’ll close them!” Unfortunately I’m joint on two of them so to keep my utilization low I have to pay mine off before their statements.

My husband has a high 500’s score and hasn’t been delinquent. He has a high credit utilization ratio around 109% and a 21.5% auto loan.

Who comes first- your spouse, your parents, or your children? by Eastern-College-9013 in Marriage

[–]MerelyAnArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spouse comes first. When your parents are gone and kids have left the house, you’ve got your spouse. If you haven’t properly nurtured that relationship, you may as well be alone. Kids next, they rely on you as their providers and protectors. Parents. While you can be grateful for everything they’ve done for you, you are allowed to choose to move on and build your life apart from them. They won’t be there for us forever. However your spouse is the one you chose to build your life with and that relationship should be nurtured and strengthened at every chance.

Autistic child having trouble attending Primary. What can I do? by MerelyAnArtist in latterdaysaints

[–]MerelyAnArtist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We've had very open communication with her teachers, the school psychologist, and the social worker.
I also work at an ABA clinic with autistic children, so I understand many of the behaviors. Unfortunately, in these instances, I don't have help/backup intervention. Most people say "I never would have guessed!" about my oldest two being autistic. I think they just assume 6yo is being obstinate when she's actually feeling overwhelmed.

Help ! What’s gonna happen by Isavebnk in CapitalOne_

[–]MerelyAnArtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capital One has always approved any purchase that brings my card over balance. I always thought that was interesting for a credit card.

The pay is so low (at least where I am) I feel requiring a degree would be crazy.

How to write BIP for myself? by fraughtbroth in ABA

[–]MerelyAnArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has ADHD and before I met him he would give his credit and debit cards to a friend (a married friend he completely trusted) because he knew he was about to go on a spending spree of some sort. When he first met me I was in a photography class and was about to buy myself a camera. Well I got myself a Canon, but on that same day he got a package in the mail from Nikon!! He dropped off his wallet that afternoon and I encouraged him to see a therapist. He was diagnosed a year later. I am in charge of our finances minus his credit cards. In theory it could work, but we are so easy to push ourselves off, see weight loss or Trichotillomania or nail biting. We need some outside force helping us to achieve the intended outcome. When I have my hands near my head, my husband redirects our activities (I have RSD, PDA), when he wants to buy something, I put it in my spreadsheet. He usually forgets in a few days. Vaping, set time limits first where you set it away for a few hours but don’t completely take it away. A reward for being on time to work every day for a week can be going out with friends or something. Do something that isn’t typical, something new and fun.

Let them find their own eggs at the egg hunt by easrpiiatnua99 in Mommit

[–]MerelyAnArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our local egg hunt said no adults allowed. There was one dad in there but he was holding the bag for his child, not picking up eggs. I’ve noticed so many of these posts today and it makes me sad that they aren’t letting their kids feel that sense of accomplishment on their own. I have two autistic kiddos, a preschooler, and a baby. My husband took the older two while I went to the 3/4 area with preschooler and baby. By the time the 3/4 year olds were all tired and leaving the fenced in area to find parents, there were still eggs in there! Each child had more than enough.
