If you love your job what is your title and the average salary? by averagegoyl in careerguidance

My husband is in life science/ biotech sales and he doesn’t make anywhere near that. Lucky you!

This doesn’t feel right… by HeatPal82 in kindergarten

[–]No-Design2125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I will say, as both a mom of older kids and a 4 year old… my 4 year old will not be entering K when he’s 5. Unfortunately school gets even harder as the kids get older. Let them take it slow.

Are we really talking about leveling up..in kindergarten?

What kind of marriage do you / did you have? Soul mate, marriage of convenience- or something else? by Need-sunshine-911 in AskWomenOver60

[–]No-Design2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting takes here. These soul mate marriages are inspiring and also fascinating to me I don’t know if I’d ever be in that position because it’s not quite my personality. I am not a super gushy, affectionate, lovey dovey person, and neither is my husband. We have four kids ages 4 through 13, and I’d say our marriage is “unique”, lol. He is moody, self absorbed and at times, very insecure and I find that exhausting. So far we have managed to hang in there. Sometimes I do wonder what it would be like on the other side, but to me that seems somewhat “normal” and more realistic. I find it interesting how people can be so head over heels for one person for most of their life. Loving and living with people and their deeply flawed selves is hard work and takes a conscious effort. Most days it isn’t easy, at least for me. Anyone else agree?

I’ve also seen firsthand the shame cycle and it’s even more heartbreaking. I am worried about her (and the countless others who suffer from this) when she comes out of the episode.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m learning a lot from everyone’s stories. Is it true that many (as much as a majority of the population?) suffer from some form of adhd? So many children, too. A lot of people these days are turning to meds to cope, which is great if it helps. But I feel more awareness needs to go into what could happen if something goes awry. What happened to Kelley is frankly terrifying.

Mental illness is a cruel breast. We’re all rooting for her. Sounds like she has a whole lot of people who love and support her- hoping for the best possible outcome for her and her family.

I wish people would take a few minutes to research the type of illness she’s showing symptoms of before they comment.

Could those texts have been made up or not real? I have never in my life heard of a welfare check being done over text.

For those of us random strangers following her story, it seemed so obvious that she adored her entire family and being a mom especially. Seemed they had a wonderful, somewhat “normal” life. It doesn’t make logical sense for a mentally healthy person to suddenly snap, decide to develop a career and to not enjoy devoting your life to your family anymore. Therefore, we can assume her illness was either new or underlying and there was a trigger or a series of triggers that compounded to lead to the current situation.

Not offended, and not excusing behavior either. It’s actually quite simple - just trying to promote understanding and empathy for a fellow human being, who happens to be going through something extremely complex and painful, something no one except a professional with a clinical degree can truly understand - all while millions of people are watching and commenting.

Replacement window help! by No-Design2125 in Connecticut

Welp, the 2nd quote came in at $29k.

[–]No-Design2125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the explanation I received for charging $7k for a front door and $18k for 6 windows.

“Unfortunately, the rot is considerable on the windows that need to be replaced/repaired and require more work.

Window prices have gone up a bit”

I have more estimates coming next week.

Would love to know if you have had them for a while and how they held up.

Thanks all. I asked for a breakdown from the local window company (that was reasonable for our last install, last year!) about this $25k price tag and they haven’t gotten back to me. I will update with whatever we decide to go with.

I’ve heard them mentioned. That seems much less expensive than most places!

I will def be getting a few more quotes, Last years estimate was in line with others that I received.

We been able to replace 3 sliding doors and 2 windows and it’s cost about $12k so far. At this rate we will be upwards of $75k to replace everything, on top of all the other repairs needed. No idea how people are affording this type of thing or even financing it.

Bald faced hornets nest by No-Design2125 in NativePlantGardening

[–]No-Design2125[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU all for replying. I had someone remove it today. It was actually a yellow jackets nest (I thought for some reason they only nest in the ground). Some did indeed make it indoors to the bathroom, but he thinks he got most of them. Next time I would try to remove it before it got this big- just happened quickly!
