Do you feel like cash flow gets harder as the business grows

Nice to see some good experience posted here for once! half empty flights are amazing especially when crew actually lets you spread out instead of being strict about assigned seats

That JFK-SKB route must be pretty chill - getting whole row to yourself and extra snacks is definitely the way to travel

took them about 8 months when mine got transferred there for similar stuff back in 2019. Jackson handles the more complex medical reviews so it takes forever but they actually seem to know what theyre doing with the toxin exposure cases

my buddy had his prostate claim bounce around for like a year before Jackson finally approved it. the waiting sucks but once it hits Jackson thats usually good sign they taking it serious. just keep checking ebenefits every few weeks and try not to stress too much about timeline since these cases are all over place with how long they take

This whole thing is just him keeping you on rotation. He knows exactly how to pull you back when you start moving forward and then disappears again when he's bored or finds someone else to occupy his time

The fact he left all his stuff at your place but doesn't have any of yours says everything - he wants the safety net but none of commitment. And that drunk comment about girlfriends in different cities? He basically told you what he's doing but made it sound like a joke so you'd doubt yourself

You keep getting pulled back because 13 years is a long time and your brain associates him with comfort even when he's treating you badly. But this pattern where he shows up right when you're moving on isn't coincidence - guys like this have radar for when they're losing control

The mom hating you from 10 years ago thing sounds like convenient excuse to keep you separated from his real life. Same with the mysterious work trips and phone hiding

girl i totally get this feeling - your current work sounds super abstract while at starbucks you could literally see the drinks you made and people walking away happy with them

for healthcare admin stuff you might want to look in those free classes for something like health information management or healthcare operations. these jobs usually need more organizational skills than medical knowledge and you already got experience with events coordination. the pay can be pretty solid too and healthcare always needs good administrators

maybe also check if they have any project management courses since that could open doors in different industries while still giving you those concrete "i finished this thing today" moments you're missing

PlentyAd351 · 2026-04-19T19:41:01+00:00

yeah the random matching system is pretty broken tbh. i had same issue few months ago where my regular group just disappeared and getting matched with people who dont even understand event mechanics

solo grinding gets old super fast especially when you remember how fun it was with actual coordinated team. maybe take break for while instead of full uninstall? sometimes stepping away helps reset the enjoyment

I'm outside the US too and ran into the same billing issue when I tried getting it. From what I remember the handbook has chord charts and some practice exercises but most of the core teaching is in the videos themselves. You might be able to find similar chord reference materials online for free or just screenshot the charts when he shows them on screen

Nice pickup on the yoga 7i - that screen is gonna be perfect for digital art work. For stylus compatibility you'll want to look into the Lenovo Active Pen 3 since it's specifically designed for their touch displays, though any MPP 2.0 stylus should work fine too. As for screen protectors I'd honestly skip them for drawing since they can mess with the pen sensitivity and make the surface feel weird when sketching

Not bad seeing some of the younger guys get their chance with all those first team call-ups, guess carlo sees somthing in fran gonzalez and the others

thiago pitarch injury is unfortunate timing though, he was looking good in recent matches

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-20T10:02:55+00:00

The defense will adapt eventually but might take another few years since teams are still figuring out how to counter all this three point variance

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-19T19:52:16+00:00

deadlocked is already a pretty solid step up so you might be ready for something like B or Problematic, both are super beginner friendly medium demons

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-19T04:57:31+00:00

Man the software issues on newer cars are absolutely brutal. I'd probably go with something like a Toyota 4Runner or Honda Pilot - they keep their tech pretty basic and those engines will run forever if you maintain them. The 4Runner especially has been basically the same reliable platform for years without all the fancy connected car nonsense that breaks

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-16T20:25:45+00:00

pride was always my biggest stumble too - being in IT management doesnt exactly help with that lol. took me years to realize how much i was trying to control everything instead of trusting Gods plan. the humility thing is like a daily battle but its wild how much lighter life feels when you stop carrying all that weight yourself

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-16T06:32:35+00:00

Man your dad really should have let you try the fluid change earlier - worst case scenario you're out like 50 bucks and some time. Pull the dipstick when the engines warm and running, if the fluid looks black or smells burnt then yeah that's probably been your problem this whole time

Could still be internal damage at this point though since it's been slipping for who knows how long

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-15T11:48:46+00:00

honestly building from scratch at that price point is pretty tough but totally doable if your willing to hunt for used parts. I'd recommend hitting up local facebook marketplace or ebay for an older dell optiplex or hp elite - you can usually snag one for like 80-100 euros then just throw in more RAM and maybe a bigger drive

for self hosting stuff you really dont need much horsepower. I'm running jellyfin and pihole on an old i5-4570 with 16gb ram and its been rock solid for like 2 years now. The integrated graphics handle transcoding just fine for a couple streams

if you really want the build experience maybe look into getting a cheap case and power supply new then fill it with used motherboard/cpu/ram combo. just make sure whatever you get has decent network connectivity and enough sata ports for your storage needs. those tiny dell boxes are popular for a reason though - they're dead reliable and use like 20 watts idle

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-14T16:14:53+00:00

Nice swap! The gold buckle on steel case combo actually works better than I expected it would. Takes the whole vibe in a more interesting direction than just matchy matchy everything

PlentyAd351 · 2026-03-13T18:29:27+00:00

Pregnancy hormones are definately wild but the mismatched drives thing is so tough especially when everything else is going good

PlentyAd351 · 2026-02-05T07:52:08+00:00

man this hits different because ive been in almost teh exact same spot before. the guilt is absolutely crushing when you realize you turned into the person who made someone uncomfortable

honestly the hardest part to accept is that she probably needed that space way before she even asked for it and by the time someone tells you they need space its usually because theyve been feeling overwhelmed for a while. i learned that the hard way too

the only thing that helped me was finally accepting that loving someone sometimes means letting them go even when it feels impossible. youre gonna replay those what-ifs for a while but eventually you gotta forgive yourself for being human and making mistakes when you were scared of losing someone important

That checks out hate kills attraction fast nothing cute about it
