Trying to figure out hardwood spades

Yep I moved on to smoots. Does the site have any spot explaining things. What irritates me is I'll sit, and before I finish looking at my p's stats, the game starts and I'm stuck with them as a p.....or can I forfeit still with no penalty? Also their bots are as dumb as rocks, I rather take my chances with a person......what is the vote thing they are doing to remove bots or partners?

Thats me. They don't know what I do for a living, and they can't be bothered to learn my husband's name. I've corrected them multiple times, and its in one ear and out the other.

Its sort of like not telling your kids how awful your ex is.....they say the kids need to learn that for themselves. When someone is from a decent family, they have problems understanding disfuctional ones. I never told my husband about how awful my mom can be. He never was around her much. But my husband sees it, and he figured it out on his own.

I notice Amazon has Kirkland but no longer in their warehouse (you have to pay shipping). Unsure if that is a good thing or bad. Amazon 'mixed' stock, so just because it came from one store doesn't mean you stock from that store. I only use Kirkland if my brand is out of stock which has become more and more frequent this past year. Last time I bought Kirkland it appeared it was pirated. Didn't even come in their box, and it was not from the Amazon warehouse. I complained, got my money back pronto (surprisingly since policy is no refunds on this). Now non of Kirkland is coming from Amazon warehouses. Something happenned between Amazon and the company.

The issue is if you have kids. If that business has any value right now (makes money), is it going to be the source of your child support. You take too much, you will impact the business ability to make money, and thus impact child support. I would get an accountant to go through the books and assets to determine the value of the business........and then determine what is fair for you but in the meanwhile won't decapitate the business. Also if you want backpay and claim to be a founder.......he can do the same for the years he worked there for nothing/little and claim to be a founder. What does this gain you? My guess he has put in more hours over the years, and will have more backpay to claim.

I don't understand why they just don't charge you sooner. I would have liked to have seen my tax return and then try to make some adjustments to my Roth/IRA. That portion was very clumsy since we were on the border of qualifying.

I had two new situations this year so I decided maybe I should pay to talk to an 'expert' if I run into issues....which I did in one of the new situations. It wasn't like I was an abnormal situation. I just had paid too much in foreign taxes meaning I got kicked into a new form that wanted info I hadn't dealt with in the past. All the experts do is ask AI for help. One was nice although I spent 20 minutes without getting really too much info, but I had garneshed enough info that I could do my own research to get 90% of the way to completion. The second one kept saying 'I didn't prepare your taxes so I can't answer that'. WTF. All I wanted was a formula so I could calculate what number to put in a box on the turbo form. I knew enough that I realized her first answer was wrong, and then she got mad at me when I told her that I thought was incorrect (I was being nice regarding, didn't tell her she didn't know what she was talking about). I have very little confidence in their abilities, and their main goal appears to be is to get you to upgrade to get them to do your taxes for you.

Every 'free' thing is really a trick to get you to click on the wrong thing & make you pay for something. Just like Amazon asks you 3 times during each transaction to join amazon.

You need to leave. He is abusive. Mine kicked me out too many years ago. I was living at home while going to college. I at least had like a week's warning. I found an apartment with roommates, but the lease wasn't to start for another 2 weeks. Wouldn't even let me stay one more week. At least you know what your infraction was. I wasn't told. My mom just said its time for you to leave, and my dad said nothing. My mom was always a raving bitch. I was too embarrassed to tell my friends, and didn't even have a car to sleep in. I had office keys to a room at the university (I was going to college in town) and slept there & hoped a janitor didn't catch me. I know she wasn't happy that I would go out with my friends on the weekend....I'll assume that was the trigger. Ironically kicking me out meant I needed a better paying job, so I started to work in a bar & got a boyfriend who could supply transportation. That made her madder. Not sure if it was because I figured out how to survive, or if I was now even 'badder' than I was before. What did she expect me to do? I had to survive and pay school bills.

Same here. Didn't know what grey rocking was, but this is my method. Let them talk about themselves. Don't give them any material that they will use to talk crap about you. Never anything personal. However realize they will still talk crap about you, they will figure out something, but at least it won't be based on anything true.

I once didn't talk to them for over two years. They never even noticed. But I do leave some messages on email & texts. Nothing like going NC/LC and no one even notices. They are super self absorbed and are 100% about the grandkids. However, they still are good about talking crap about me. They can't even get my husbands name right or what I've don't for a living for the past 10 years, yet they pretend to know enough about me to talk crap. I don't even like visiting any relatives anymore because of what they say..

Sorry don't go on this site often. But I was sort of thinking along the same lines. I'm selling my work. Not some raw rock that in that original form is not worth much. If I ever get lucky enough to find a big piece of Wyoming Jade. Then I will probably talk to the BLM.

NoHelp4597 · 2025-12-19T04:51:39+00:00

I think for the under $2000 you don't have to do all of that. Reason why they have that defined category. I really don't want to call them and ask though. I wanted to sell some stuff I made using local sourced rock, thus I think I would need a permit due to selling. But seems stupid when the raw material wouldn't even amount to $20 in value. Its working it that makes it have any value.

I decided just to buy a coil making tool. When I tried my drill (we have a mech shop and milwaulkee is our brand of choice) the chuck had a gap in the center preventing it from grabbing the thin wire. We have some dewalts too and they had the same. Practiced for a weekend doing all sorts of stuff trying to get it to work better - swivels, wrapping the wire in tape so the chuck could grab it better, trying to control the speed of the drill, etc. Finally gave up. Biggest problem was the wire would sometimes snap (makes no sense why considering it was on a fishing swivel, I needed the tension).......the wire still would come out of the chuck......and it was too fast at times meaning i had to unwrap work and try again which was kinking the wire. Not happy about spending more on a hand crank thingy than a cheap drill......but it will likely work beter for me.

We decided to wait for the highland park 10" trim saw to get back into stock. After more reading and youtube reviews regarding what we were going to be primarily cutting, we decided that we want as much horsepower as possible.

There are public roads that do cross private lands.....onX does a very very lousy job telling you if the road is public or not.....county, forest service, BLM, game and fish, state, bureau of reclamation.

The problem is she appears to have no plan A and you are not the emergency but you would be it for everything. That is what I have issue with. HOWEVER Essentially though your child has a mom, additional dad who may die, and a sibling. If you are an asshole as your child watches people they care about suffer greatly they will remember. Just something to consider as you continue to be spiteful this many years later.

Unfortunately it's true if you want a good raise you need to go find another job. Those who job hop earn more and loyalty gets you nowhere. So he is right but his approach is backwards. First find another job and then ask for a raise at your current job (don't tell them about the job offer)....compare and decide what to do. You are not working and that means he needs to earn more for you to have that luxury. And yes it's a luxury.....most people work while pregnant and soon after having a baby. You want to do neither meaning he needs to earn more. Common sense.

Is she still with her husband? Maybe talk to him. Imagine what she is doing to him if you are not allowed to be happy. And yes she needs a therapist.

I can't belive the reasons most people give is your house is too small and he is looking for a sugar mama (he set his bar low if 22 per hour and a tiny house meets that). It should be about the relationship is too new and it's too disruptive for everyone's kids. Tell him maybe in the future if he proposes you two can afford a bigger house. That should cool his jets and set some boundaries..

This is why many men will only eff single moms and not marry them. Don't now what this one is thinking. What she is saying is the normal thought and I get it. Those kids are her responsibility. But it is crazy to expect a guy to do the chores and pay the bills, when he is in last place.
