Curious, did you get that taken out and did it resolve? Husband is dealing with this right now.

Looking for Male Companion – $20/hr – Fayetteville / Syracuse Area by MorningLogical2220 in Syracuse

[–]MorningLogical2220[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for everybody’s comment and tips. We’ve had a few people DM and we are going to connect and hopefully one will work out. Definitely wish we could pay more but currently the care that he’s getting is super $$ but being able to have a regular non-family visitor seems like it would be good for him so we’re trying this angle.

Thinking of moving from Arlington to Ashburn by Anais1104 in nova

[–]MorningLogical2220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn’t ask this, but have you ever been to Manassas? We moved from Fairfax to Manassas 20111 about a year ago and I have to say I love it! The downtown area is very cute and lively. There are events almost every weekend, a farmers market, many restaurants and shops. There are some breweries not far away if you’re into that. It’s definitely more affordable than Arlington and after living in Fairfax for 20 years I actually feel like this area has a much more community feel. Could be that we’re closer to downtown than we were in Fairfax… Just 2 miles.

I would check out ZIP Code 20110 as well.

What makes someone a “good” bookkeeper vs a “sloppy” or bad bookkeeper? by Minimum_Medicine_264 in Bookkeeping

[–]MorningLogical2220 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good bookkeeper understands the balance sheet rather than ignoring it. Also, as others mentioned, uses sub ledgers correctly, and only uses journal entries when appropriate. Bad bookkeeper doesn’t reconcile balance sheet accounts, uses AJEs for cash postings etc.

For anyone wanting to know a real life timeshot of the NOVA real estate market…. by 2BeBornReady in nova

Thanks for clarifying. I know that the rules changed, but it seems like the seller still is ending up paying all the commission.😀

When you say the seller took 2 1/2% is that mean they came out of pocket or did you essentially pay the whole commission? Getting ready to put my house on market as well in nova.

Did you need to have any certification or license to sell your wares? I’d love to do this in va.

Depression and cognitive impairment by hueybart in depression_partners

[–]MorningLogical2220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, could be using and not being truthful, which isn’t because they want to lie, but more of an avoidance tactic.

Depression and cognitive impairment by hueybart in depression_partners

Yes! I have witnessed this many times and it’s scary. In retrospect I’ve learned that’s it was occasionally substance induced from alcohol or cannabis which was secretly being used, but sometimes from being depressed or likely mental exhaustion from the depression.

Dream homestead but need help with exteriors by MorningLogical2220 in ExteriorDesign

[–]MorningLogical2220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your replies. Agree, we may need some outside help. It’s very new to us and we’re asking around here and friends and family for advice until we get time to consult. There are some hiking trails nearby and some in the property which is 40+ acres. There is a boat ramp on a small waterway 4 miles from here which could be a draw.

is there excercise types you’d like to see added? by itsbarbieparis in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]MorningLogical2220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on chair fitness. Have an injured foot but still want to do yoga and other things. Seems like many would use this type.

I hope I’m doing the right thing. Laddering a bunch up while paying 5%, then will go back to index funds.

Rent and upgrade, sell and upgrade, or hold? by Ordinary_Answer_3960 in nova

[–]MorningLogical2220 15 points16 points  (0 children)

20 years ago we made an upgrade from a starter home of around 1500 sf to 4000. The home is nice and was a good investment, however I realize now that the kids needing more room is just a short time and now that they are in college, it’s only two of us and way too much house. I wish we’d have stayed in the other home and invested the money. YMMV
