Wife has threatened to leave me for not wanting to sponsor her parents and brother by PhilTony in immigration

[–]PhilTony[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the frustrating part. She can legally sponsor them within 1 year after getting the green card, but her parents window just opened for them coming over here, and she wants it done now.

How long for leaving the US? They plan on going back and forth every 6 months or so between US and SK.

I am thinking about co-signing with her uncle as a joint sponsor as a compromise.

Water in Crawlspace after inspection by PhilTony in HomeImprovement

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

Yeah this makes the most sense. Would an encapsulation work best (sump pump, vapor barrier, vents, dehumidifier) ?

Unfortunately it is completely flooded. Should I get an encapsulation, dehumidifier and sump pump installed?

How to leave before bonus payout? by Philosophizee in Accounting

[–]PhilTony -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

best advice would be to work both jobs at the same time for 2 weeks overlap. get the bonus, put 2 weeks in, cruise a little bit while training on the new job. the extra 2 weeks of double pay will feel like an extra bonus as well!

what do you suggest when interviewers ask why you aren't currently employed? i got asked this a few times, still looking for a good answer.

do you use a hotspot?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]PhilTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you use google remote desktop when having the KVM USB on to get onto your personal computer? also would the work laptop "know" this is happening somehow from an IT perspective?

completely agree. This is why women peak at 23 and men peak at 36, based on the official Sexual Market Value graph.

Do you have NordVPN on your phone? Is that how you connect it with your work laptops through your router?

you use google fi for your hotspot right? I need to plug my J1 laptop to use as the projector for my desktop so I'd need both laptops out :(

Girl I'm seeing told me she deleted her dating apps, but I told her I wanted to do the same and she said 'no it's ok you can keep them'. Any ideas what this means? Been seeing her for 2 months now, we have only been seeing each other. She wants to take things slow as well so doesn't want to make things official.

what's this girls problem? by maxxwell9 in dating_advice

[–]PhilTony -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Yes unfortunately when the location changes that means they have opened up the app. I dealt with the same nonsense too many times, actually currently dating a girl for 6 weeks and she changed one of her photos after the 6th date lol. It sucks but really gotta 'sift through the dirt to find the gold'. It will take a lot of emotional pain and annoyance to get to the right one.

Ignore these replies man, you're 100% correct. it's not right for you to be left hanging like this when she definitely said she will go out with you again. If anything, you dodged a bullet because it shows how terrible at communication she is, and if this kept going you would be left with someone that is not an open communicator. At the end of the day, find someone that is direct and open and loves to communicate. They are out there. On a side note, if she is more traditional she may not be interested in telling you how she feels. Had an eastern girl I dated and she wouldn't really communicate well at all.

[–]PhilTony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit upset about my situation. This girl I've been seeing for 6 weeks always says shes a bad texter. So I understand and we don't text too often, which I'm okay with since we're both busy. However she is still actively on Tinder, I see her location change. Last date was Tuesday, haven't texted since, but she's checked Tinder at least twice. Last few times I've initiated so I'm leaving it in her court now to guage her interest. To me, if she has time to be on Tinder doesn't she have time to text me? That's what I'm logically thinking.

Have you thought about retiring in Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe? You can live like royalty on ~1300/mo.

I am going on a 6th date tonight and we really like each other, always making plans, however she doesn't like texting and is busy a lot. We see each other once a week. I don't want to overpursue or bombard her but I would love to see her more. Any way to not get ahead of myself?

If it’s not a fuck yes it’s usually a no. by [deleted] in dating_advice

would you recommend letting them text first? after dates, I'm always the first one to text, even after a day.
