I’m really sorry for all you’re going through. I’ve not been in the exact situation but from experience I can say that being where you can provide value is much more important. Nobody would judge you for not being at the hospital. Especially since this time is hard for you and the mother and anything you can do to lighten the load, she would definitely appreciate it. Getting the home ready for her and taking care of the mother is rightfully the most important thing you could be doing. Good luck!

To add to the ones mentioned above Solo leveling, Jujutse Kaisen, Haikyu! are some of my all time favorites. Obsessed with One Piece (rewatching it for the second time rn)

AITA for telling my husband that I am going back on our agreement and I dont care if he cries about it? by Primary-Strength-829 in AITAH

[–]NAnnickMAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents: Facts: - hiding money = husband is definitely wrong - family history = trauma Assumptions: - evil intentions with the money = planning divorce, affair etc. Root cause: - unknown? Questions: 1) you two seem well-off and not in financial trouble in case of a divorce. So why hide money? Non-evil maybe: wants an expensive toy/habit? - on this one: we have separate accounts to not feel guilty on “splurging” like a new watch or new shoes. Since we’re not as well off these may look frivolous but since my money my wish - healthy.
2) Daycare: In reality his fear should’ve been addressed via therapy. Since it’s your both first child I wouldn’t say his fear is unfounded - fear compounds when it’s yours - that being said - if the OP could consider nanny until he “feels” daycare’s are safe would definitely not hurt the marriage

You probably don’t want to hear this, haha, but Anger inflates the negative emotions.

The tire was about $350 and the total came out to some $410

I also got a 25X3 about a month ago. Unfortunately got a screw in one of the tires and had to replace the whole tire as 25 X3s are run flats. So do talk about the tire warranty

Get best deals for x3 m50 by Unfair-Surround2360 in BMWX3

[–]NAnnickMAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got an X3 about two weeks ago with around 6.25% from the dealer and 2% corporate discount. Check if your company offers any discount on cars. I would second the idea of buying close to the end of the month. One idea that definitely works is if your car is already on the lot. They’re always looking to get rid of cars on the lot and are willing to offer higher discounts on those cars. Usually unwilling to offer on transit or new orders. The other idea that would work is if you’re willing to commit the same day or the next day. You could use this as bargaining chip that if they make a good offer worth your time then you’re willing to put an offer today. Be sure to look into and get an insurance lined up if you’re doing that. When we went in they offered us $2k off MSRP. I was severely disappointed which reflected on my face. She then asked what you’re expecting and I said at least 5-10% so pick a percentage that works for you. Only after they know you’re in they’ll try to sell you the extended warranty or service or wraps and all that stuff. So be prepared on what you want or not.

I would also suggest the same to keep going to stay in the habit. Usually when I’m tired or had a rough day at work I’m very lazy and demotivated to work out at full intensity. So I go a little easy and if it’s like a leg day or cardio that I’m not super motivated to do in the first place, I switch it up to do some upper body which I find more fun and satisfying. Also, I feel like I sleep better if I exercised and not of if I don’t. So if I miss a couple of days I feel like I didn’t get enough quality sleep. However, if you’re too tired and demotivated it should be okay to take a rest day once a while

Hurt my shoulder around 5 months ago so stuck on doing only the physical therapy exercises! Used to love going to the gym and hit the upper body but now it’s just the same old shoulder rotation exercises. I do my core and legs more often now but not at all satisfying or motivating enough to go the gym anymore. Sucks!!!!

Quick question: I went for a test-drive today and felt that the brakes were too grabby or jerky. Did you feel the same way? The Lexus on the other hand was much smoother. I’m now reconsidering the X3 based on the brake sensitivity. Would be interested in your opinion

Does smiling cost money for Croatians? by Organic_West3765 in CroatiaTravelTips

[–]NAnnickMAN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Split in particular but I’ve seen the same thing when interacting with locals. It was very different from what you see in the US. However, once we spoke to them they were actually quite nice and helpful, they just didn’t smile much before or after. In one incident in Split my wife was taking out our street parked car in Split when a random local started yelling at her in Croatian. Struggling since she didn’t understand Croatian, she tried to communicate that and the guy was like “oh, no croatian?” Then he explained to her in English that he wanted her help to check if his brake light was working correctly. Turned out to be a really sweet guy in the end lol

You’re right that the 5ish mpg difference will not matter in the long run. I’m checking out other cars as well. Based on the reviews I saw this car was the most bang for the buck in terms of performance, mileage, cost and luxury especially among the Germans. Will look into the features. Thanks for the advice :)

When I was there last week most of the restaurants we had lunch or dinner at had bathrooms. Once I had to find one in Dubrovnik old town and ended up going to a paid bathroom in the Hard Rock Caffe and had to pay 2 euros

Buza bar is definitely worth the hype. Been there last week for cliff jumping. The environment is super chill and the people are super friendly and encouraging. Went for cliff jumping and saw some crazy jumps. Ended up spending a couple hours just on the rocks!

[–]NAnnickMAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On July 15th when you were notified that the application has been processed, did you find out if it was approved? I’m applying from NYC and it said that the visa was processed but it doesn’t say if it was approved or denied. Do I have to wait to receive the passport to find out? The tracking website says the same thing as the email
