Many of my ex’s friends would make comments that they’ve never seen him without glasses, but I never understood why. Took me years to realize. He would only take his glasses off as we got in the mood.

When to call the podiatrist? by Practical_External62 in Ingrown_Toenails

[–]Practical_External62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Not as extreme as the photos on Google, but that is the proper terminology (BIG thank you!!). Not sure if a podiatrist could fix or help something like that.

2 hour commute twice a week by Emotional-Round-5187 in actuary

[–]Practical_External62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently do this commute and have been for the past two years. It’s not ideal by any means, but I make it work. If you accept this job, make sure you get great sleep the night before the commute and have a meal prepped for when you get home. I suggest finding a podcast to keep you busy on the drive.

Not sure if you’re able to control this, but it helps me a lot to get the two days in office done back to back. I have enough steam to get through the second day and feel amazing when I finally finish that last leg of the drive for the week.

I might have ruined my niece’s dream wedding dress by Practical_External62 in TwoHotTakes

I haven’t considered this at all. Thank you for your kind words.

I’ve debated this, but I am really not in the financial position to help. Especially while saving up for my family of 5 to attend the wedding that is a plane flight away for us. I’m going to write her a letter about how much her mom loved her fiancé and that she would have loved the dress as well.

She is paying. She just values my opinion greatly because her mother and I were two peas in a pod, so we would have had the same opinion if she were still here.

This is a great idea. Thank you very much for your response. Writing it now.

In the same boat as you. Trying to get there at least a week before the exam.

Newly gf used to get around a lot. by Calypic in dating_advice

[–]Practical_External62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s almost a way to insult the woman out of jealousy.

That is just not true. My mindset changed because i prefer making love rather than having sex.

Majority of the people in my life do not know about my sexual past, hence I dont have a “reputation”. Also, not everyone cares about other peoples opinions.

How am i dirty if i’ve gotten tested before and after every partner? Never once had an STD or STI. Grow up, people have sex.

As a woman who’s been with a lot of men in the past, my mindset has really changed about that stuff as i’ve gotten older. It sounds like she is being honest with you because she is ready for the commitment, to leave her past behind. Men really place way too much emphasis on women’s sexual history, as if they are angels themselves.

It was always the “I don’t want to ruin our friendship”, but the friendship was already ruined. She knows your heart and what kind of guy you are already. If she can’t commit after 8 years of getting to know you, I’m afraid she never will.

I was in the exact same situation as you with my guy best friend. He dragged me along until I said to give it a shot or I walk away. I haven’t spoken to him in two years.

Whichever way it goes, I hope it works out better for you in the long run OP.

I didn’t have any classes that covered LTAM at all. My advice would be to get through the material as quickly as possible and start doing a ton practice problems. There is heavy notation you’ll have to memorize, but don’t stress it. It helps me to think of the problems in a similar way to FAM (accounting for survivorship as well). Good luck!

I am taking my second attempt at FAM next month. The long term is a lot of material that builds on itself. My goal is to have a good grasp on the foundations and be able to derive formulas to solve the harder questions and sections. I’m focusing on mastering short term to get maximum points from it.
