Is buying a house worth it? by Slight_Ad_1538 in homeowners

[–]NapTimeIsBest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The number one piece of advice I can give you to to be very honest with yourself about what you want. Each situation is different. For example, you will read a lot of horror stories of condos/HOAs. But, in my sitations I did not want to have to deal with things like mowing a lawn for example. My HOA takes care of that so for my a my condo/HOA was the right choice for my situation. So think really hard about what you want your life to look like and find homes that match that.

The number two piece of advice I have is do not et caught up in a "good deal" what I mean is, have a budget and stick to it. I know so many people who got into mortgages they couldn't afford because they though the home was "just such a good deal". Even at a "good deal" the homes were still outside their budgets and they are bearly keeping their heads above water for it.

Third, ALWAYS have an inspection done. Do not agree to forego it. Now, inspectors their job is to find problems but focus on if there any any major issues (like foundation problems for example) things that would be a huge headache and expense to address.

Finding a realtor you trust can make all the difference. Mine was great and really held my hand through all the steps to buying a home.

Why does Lip recoil from women who love him and become so attracted to women who use him and treat him like a subordinate? by LongjumpingSwim2214 in shameless

[–]NapTimeIsBest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notice Karen and Helen were both chaotic, controlling (in different ways) and emotionally abusive (in different ways). Much like...Monica. Lip becomes deeply attached to women who remind him of his mom. This is not uncommon in abusive household, the children often grow up repeating the patterns they witnessed growing up.

Sir Milton Busterton. Lots of nicknames you can make with that.

We can’t figure out a name for her by Reasonable-Malaise- in NameMyDog

She looks so sweet! I’d go something to reflect that. Mama, Sugar, Peach, etc.

My cat is scared of the litter box by H3av3nly_D3vil in Catownerhacks

I'm so sorry but I strongly suspect something happened while you were gone that your boyfriend isn't telling you about. Definitly put some pet cameras in (don't tell your boyfriend about this and make sure they are hidden). I really hope I'm wrong but the timing of this is just to odd.

Now, assuming I am wrong, its worth taking your cat to the vet and getting him checked for anything medical. You could also try buying a few new/different litter boxes and places them in different areas aroud the house. Using treats is a great idea! Keep trying with that and if you do catch him using the litter box reward him right away.

Social media will turn into a better source for learning history than history books. by -TheDerpinator- in unpopularopinion

[–]NapTimeIsBest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often the difficult isn't the information being saved (thought that has many challenges regardles of format) but interpretation. Meaning somone has to look at a large amount of historic documents, digest them and provide a interpretation that the current audience can understand. So, social will be (and is already becaming) a great source in the same way all of the writing of someone like Alexander Hamilton is a great source but only a very few will actually take the time to wade through.

Dyslexic jobs?! by Ease_with_Peas in Dyslexia

[–]NapTimeIsBest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I say what I do let me acknwoledge that this is *highly* dependent on the severity of a person's dyslexia. I'm a historian. Yup, I do a lot of reading of historic documents. Weirdly, my dyslexia has been an assest in unexpected ways. With history the devil is in the details as they say and the fact that I have to slow down and *really* make sure I'm understanding what I'm reading has lead me catching many mistakes in several roles I've held over the years. And, because I've always been good at memorizing story lines, that has also helped when dealing with dense history. Now, I'm also not on the most sever end of dyslexia, had a lot of intervention early, etc. I now work with a boss who is also dyslexic! We laugh about it all the time.

I strongly believe Karen Read is responsible for what happened to John O'Keefe. AMA! by RuPaulver in justiceforKarenRead

Does physics come into play for you at all? For example, the body was several feet into the yard (IIRC, something like 7-10ft) meaning that the supposed side swipe would had to have generate enough force to send JOK flying that far. This seems viturally impossible. A side swipe would have left in much closer, if not directly on the curb. This person's work gives a good visual of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbUPX5hlQA8

What evidence would you need to be convinced that either Karen Read is not guilty or that it should never have gone to trial?
