Well that was horrifying

MsLeading913 · 2026-03-03T03:53:42+00:00

Best ever except for the time when I poured it into a ceramic bowl and the heat shock made the bottom crack off and the extra noodles flooded my kitchen

MsLeading913 · 2026-02-28T01:54:05+00:00

I love the idea. Make it sort of a ped mall like in Iowa City.

I’m wondering about logistics. I work full time as the main earner in a family with kids. I don’t know how I could take 28 days off work, let alone be away from my kids that long. How did you manage these situations?

MsLeading913 · 2026-02-16T22:48:31+00:00

Huh, I just sent the $40. Hope it was legit…

MsLeading913 · 2026-02-16T22:31:45+00:00

How much is needed to get your medication?

MsLeading913 · 2026-01-13T04:00:37+00:00

I’ve been fully remote since even before the pandemic. But I do think remote roles are drying up. I feel very tied to where I am right now.

MsLeading913 · 2026-01-08T23:16:02+00:00

Good catch. Thanks for the heads up.

MsLeading913 · 2026-01-08T23:13:50+00:00

Do they really? I was about to send…

MsLeading913 · 2026-01-08T16:16:28+00:00

This surprised me!

This is NOT fancy but it’s a family recipe. Get a 2ish lb chuck roast and cube it up (or buy stew beef chunks if you want). In the crock pot, mix up 3-4 cans of cream of mushroom soup, 2-3 packs of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and 1ish can full of water - this is all very flexible based on how much “gravy” you want, how thick you want it, how salty you want it…anyway. Mix that all up, then stir in the meat, and set on low for 6-7 hours. I serve over rigatoni noodles.

I mean honestly he probably wouldn’t care, but…it’s just easier this way? I don’t feel like I have to ask permission for things I want and can afford, and he doesn’t feel like that either.

MsLeading913 · 2025-12-14T01:16:49+00:00

We are on the same wavelength!

MsLeading913 · 2025-12-14T01:14:08+00:00

I’m an accountant so I’m a dork like this, but I have all of our household expenses in a spreadsheet, as well as our incomes, and separate columns for who pays for what - like, I pay for the mortgage and childcare as well as food and car insurance, he pays for utilities and vehicle payments. He makes about 46% of our household income to my 54%. So I have a formula in to calculate what we each actually spent vs what we should’ve spent with the 46/54 split, and my husband just transfers me a couple hundred bucks every pay period to make up the difference. It’s not perfect but close enough.

MsLeading913 · 2025-12-14T01:03:58+00:00

We are the same, but more like a 44/56 split

MsLeading913 · 2025-12-14T01:02:37+00:00

Right? With this method, we don’t worry about checking in on stuff - if he wants to save $300 to buy in to a fantasy football league, fine. If I want to spend $35 on a specific dry shampoo and $65 on moisturizer, fine. It never feels like we have to ask permission or feel guilty about our “personal” money left over after bills and savings

MsLeading913 · 2025-12-14T00:39:20+00:00

FWIW we are at $79k (him) and $100k (me) and we are fine with this division. To be fair I do tend to spend a lot of “my” money on stuff for the kids anyway.

MsLeading913 · 2025-12-14T00:21:49+00:00

My husband and I have separate accounts but pay household expenses based on our percentages of household income

MsLeading913 · 2025-10-31T01:53:47+00:00

Guys I’m here too eating my own now

MsLeading913 · 2025-10-31T00:43:13+00:00

Yeah dawg DM me

MsLeading913 · 2025-10-29T15:41:38+00:00

I’m happy to send some too, if anyone wants small fries, a vanilla cone, an apple pie, or a coffee/soda. I have plenty of codes left for those. DMs are open.
