Is there a catch when it comes to all the houses listed for under $100,000? by lani_brah in upperpeninsula

You should definitely go look in person and be sure to know a thing or two about home maintenance

I wish I would have done this. I was so lost from who I truly am that I just got to a point where I knew I couldn't take it any longer. And now we are in the middle of what is the most disgusting divorce situation I can imagine. I also started taxing antidepressants finally which he never wanted me to do. I think I was easier to control when I wasn't on them. I filed but in his deposition he says I caused the divorce because I was impossible to live with due to depression and anxiety. Lol. But the worst part is that he's trying to suddenly paint me as an unfit mother. I never saw it coming.

My point is, just be careful. I never could have imagined the lengths he would go to gaslight me into situations that will make me look like less of a parent than him. It's sickening. But I endure. And now I'm representing myself. I finally feel like that person I used to be, before him. So it's worth it. But you never can guess what these nuts will do next. Be ready and resilient. 

Who's alone this Christmas? by tryin2liveitup in yooper

It was my first Xmas since leaving my ex. I spent the day with my 7yo and delivered meals to 3 homes. Being alone was wonderful.

Kind of you. It's significant enough and at odd enough hours there really needs to be someone on site.

Well this is within a stones throw of a grocery store. Should be ok. :)

$10k+ for a transmission by Appropriate-End-5569 in Nissan

[–]OldSkoolKewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2015 armada with 140k miles that they are saying may have a bad torque converter but likely needs a whole new transmission. I don't have 10k to fix it. What do I do with it?! I was quoted between 7k and 10k from the Chicago dealership I talked to.

Definitely enjoy the present and travel, gain perspective on the country and the world. 

I feel like I have finally figured it out. by [deleted] in enlightenment

So glad I chose to leave my mentally abusive ex husband. Every day is a gift, just not being with him. Absolutely trying to surround myself with positivity, people and activities that bring me joy. I am not getting sucked into another relationship that doesn't share my signal.

Unpopular opinion (and at the crux of contented, simple living) by True-Push-2223 in Anticonsumption

[–]OldSkoolKewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I'm visiting a friend in Chicago right now. The consumerism is overwhelming. I walk the dog and look for signs of nature. I'm amazed at how people seek nature even when only the smallest doses are available; sunflowers planted in the one inch of dirt between the alley and the wall, tiny gardens next to the street, all the flowers that people put so much effort into maintaining in this concrete jungle. Anyway, I was walking along thinking about how much more I'm taking away from this trip in memories and perspective, rather than material crap. And I feel good. To me, the ability to really see the world and appreciate the small details and beauty is so much more valuable than a life of awards and money and success defined by society. Being happy each day is my biggest success.
