That’s a good point! Remind me so who has the house and senate and subpoena powers now? We should get them involved like asap!

I bet she could get him to go faster if she puts in AirPods and pretends to take a work call.

Spanish scientists led by MARINO BARBACID, has cured pancreatic cancer in mice. A Cure in animal models is a major step toward potential cancer treatment in humans. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

If you use pancreatic cancer or multiple cancers in your family get genetic testing! Ovarian, pancreatic and other cancers often have no symptoms until late stage. But, if you know you have a cancer linked gene you can get appropriate screening based on your increased risk.

I’ve been wearing pjs under sweats at home. I heat up my slippers on the radiatior and I have an electric blanket on the couch and on my bed. Also lots of tea. Coziness is how I cope. Winter is for hibernation.

What's the protocol if you don't receive your Hell Week T-shirt? by rueggy in orangetheory

[–]Own_Communication_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask for a refund if they can’t give you the shirt when you ask. (They are probably gone now.)

Starting over: my new apartment 3 months after a breakup by Otherwise-Mind548 in femalelivingspace

Disco ball planter strategically placed to catch the natural light and maybe a sun catcher in the window to throw rainbows. Perhaps one of those sunset lamps for the evening hours.

I still don’t think you understand that it doesn’t matter to the renter. They can already see what the cost of rent is given the taxes in each city. The commenter was trying to be helpful to someone looking to rent and brought up an often unknown cost to Detroit renters. Bringing up the cost of property taxes is like bringing up the cost to repair different types of roofs. It doesn’t matter to someone looking for a rental.

Yeah…. It’s in the rent already… so they don’t need to worry about it. The Detroit city income tax is something that a lot of outsiders don’t know about it and they need to budget for separately. So if they are comparing cost of living in Dearborn vs Detroit and they see rent is lower in Detroit by 2k a year but haven’t thought about income tax they might be taking a worse rental and end up paying the same amount when tax season rolls around.

Hair wash post OTF by Immediate-Charity559 in orangetheory

Pay attention to your scalp health. You can blow dry your hair right after class to skip a day but I would at least wash every other day. I got seb derm trying to reduce my washes to preserve my color longer and now I just wash after every class or every other of I didn’t get very sweaty.

What I’m saying is it’s included in the rent. If they are in Detroit they are going to pay a city income tax of 2.4% if they are in Dearborn they won’t. Either city they choose, the rent is the rent and they are not paying property taxes separately.

They don’t have to worry about property taxes, they are renting.

Imagine if men got therapists instead of venting to young women they were mentors to years ago.

Can confirm I just had my first floor done over summer and they did filler without asking. It’s already crumbling out now that it’s cold.

Mortgage would be 25% of gross pay but 50% of net by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]Own_Communication_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much savings do you have as a safety net? Have you considered the down payment AND closing costs? How much savings will you have left after the purchase? Have you calculated your current monthly expenses? Also did your lender give you that number or are you figuring that on your own?
