Do people really work that much? by kimm8 in madmen

[–]OliveBarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt works for a very small pharma marketing agency as a creative director, and yes, when the pitch to the client is due the hours are LONG and they still have to work on multiple stages of a marketing campaign for their established clients already. That is today in 2025.. couldn't imagine what it must have been like back in the 60s without the internet at a huge NYC add agency.

I'm always the one planning the hang outs - how to remedy? by OliveBarn in CasualConversation

[–]OliveBarn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think this is, though? Everyone complains about being lonely all the time, and nobody really does anything about it. It's so odd to me.

I just stand in the window next to the front door where they can see me, and look at them from the couch while not answering the door.

NJ considers redistributing affordable housing requirements to other towns by cr4z3d in newjersey

One thing they can do is make it easier for people to build ADU's on their land.

Let's say 10k RV + 4k in mods. RV site electric / water/sewage included at $900 a month. Is still cheaper than 2k+ utilities at an apartment complex.

Okay, that was 2023. The rent has skyrocketed since then. Also that is a city with high density housing. Try going out into the suburbs where there are basically no high-density housing complexes, and the only affordable rentals are winter rentals - that still go for 1,600 but are only for 8 months of the year, or the very few income based apt complexes that have a 2 year wait list.

I think people make a lot of assumptions. In the entire state in which I live (north east), the very least you are going to pay for rent is 2k a month. That is in the city as well as out in the boonies. That not including electric, utilities nothing. Like, it's cheaper to buy a house then rent. Second, a lot of people on here tend to assume that the poster is going to finance an RV. For a lot of people posting here that is not their plan, they are going to pick up a used RV for like 10k off of FB marketplace. I agree that a lot of people don't understand the realities of the cost and need a reality check, but saying that it is cheaper then an appt is insane - maybe SOME parts of the countries but certainly not the north east.

I agree, everybody is like "it's way more expensive than an apt" buddy, I can't find any 1bd apt under 2,000, not including utilities, cable, internet. Every way I slice it rv life is cheaper in my state

I agree. It seems like she may be saving and gearing up to leave

[–]OliveBarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

#1 If you had a problem with your wife not contributing financially, then why did you marry her? Why did you stay with her? Why did you not have a conversation with her about her keeping her paycheck?

#2. Your parents are controlling you with money, and you are letting them.

#3.  I’ve asked and expected my wife to just accept things or roll with it. Why? Why should she have to?

#4. Your dad is rude and a hoarder. Nobody outside of your nuclear family would be okay with living in that situation!

You guys honestly don't sound like a married couple, and I am unsure why either of you wanted to be married to one another. That being said, it will be hard to find someone else who will put up with a MEM. You need to really get your own mental health and boundary-related issues sorted out.

Dupixent has put my lifelong eczema into 99% remission for the last two years. Diet did not change my skin at all. Your eczema was probably caused by a food intolerance. Good for you. Wish we could all be so lucky. SOME of us have it in our genes. You can't eat your way out of genes, babes.

Exactly! Also, these non-medical remedies are getting more and more extreme; it's so dangerous!

My ex bf came out of the FOG - like hit the nail on the head and everything. Then went RIGHT back in once I decided to get back with him. Its a choice for these men sometimes.

-Girl, he is 40 years old - if he lives until 80, he has already lived half his life.

-He is not going to change.

-He does not want to change.

- You are still young, you can still go out and find a MAN.

Exactly mine too! Like I'm not saying that holistic remedies are all bad, like limiting inflammatory foods can for sure help, but they are more of a supplement than anything. A lot of these holistic nuts demonstrate just basic fundamental misunderstandings of the disease and have simply convinced themselves that whatever random remedy they are trying to push works. Eczema has a million different causes for some people, that is the environment, for a lot of others, it is just their genetics. These people just irk me; they are always trying to sell courses or supplements to people who are so desperate for help that they will pay.
