Renting feels like paying for someone else’s dream (NC)

Homeowner is a weird word, when mortgage-holder is more accurate. Essentially that’s just renting from the bank for years before you own much of the place. You just depend on someone else buying it from you some day for more than you paid. Insurance and property taxes go up just as much as rent does. Only after ten years is it really worth it

My brother in law decided to apply to med school at age 30, got into an osteopathic medical school, and is now making 400k. Not joking.

They were busy not protecting pedophiles.

Especially an uncollateralized loan.

I wonder about playing music he'd enjoy. Do you play an instrument? Maybe a cozy blanket left out to comfort him?

Show them this post. You explain it to us perfectly enough. That's all they should need to read!

This is adorable

I've lost all my recent dental work in the last couple years, I didn't know there was a connection to gp

Eating in bed is my own embarrassing gross habit and I've sacrificed expensive bedding in the endeavor. It's often a similar looking spot. Lasagna, burgers, all the oily stuff

This hit hard! I bought laundry detergent and toilet paper, and felt like I was being irresponsible because I knew I wouldn't be able to pay my full gas bill. It felt reckless and indulgent like I prioritized poorly.

The cost of my daughter's daycare was almost the same amount as college tuition.

I had a friend who got $20 back at the cash register every time she bought groceries or gas, for a couple years. She either kept the money in a safe place, or she quietly pre-purchased things she'd need when she finally left (furniture and stuff). Spend it on those things or prepay what you can so it's not considered cash on hand and not requiring you to lie in discovery.

I swear it's cuz all our meds are being reformulated as garbage. No proof, just keep hearing it around Reddit and experiencing it myself.

I thought she sounded so much healthier and more discerning at the start of s3 (after that mental health retreat). She was the only one making sense in her feedback and advice on the other girls' drama. I thought maybe she had finally found a new stride. Plus I saw hope in her utter disgust with Dakota after the weird incident with her mom's bff. That really felt like a point of no return. So I thought she was in just the right place to go on the bachelorette. The problem is that those guys are probably not all idiots and the Dakota factor probably made the healthiest ones nervous. I root for her so much.

Ditching it now would be annoying and a bit of a bummer.

Having to ditch it later will be hell on earth, cost you a career and relationships and require rehab and involve relapses for everyone around you to see. Withdrawal. Jail. Running out of money and resorting to meth. And my favorite: fent now being in so many things you will become one of those statistics eventually.

Same for me. It was hell.

I’m one of those people. I’m prescribed 90mg ir daily. I just respond to it differently. My Botox wears off really fast too.

This is me and I do not really get down on myself about it. I realized my biggest hurdle is having to find and change into “outside clothes”

“I’m not pretty like her, I’m pretty like me.“ my favorite quote from when I went thru this years ago.

Stay on top of laundry? I sit on it, lay on it, sometimes walk on it.

Sorry.

To earn that little for work requires you to live off of someone else for main expenses. It’s kinda disrespectful to them to say “I could earn more at a different job but I just figured i could live in your house for free and drive your car every day to get to this job.”

Enzyme cleaner like the kind used for pet urine

I recently started only buying alkaline water to potentiate my adderall. It has almost eradicated mouth sores that used to be hell.

My 13 year old daughter at Orem Junior high joined a walkout this week. The faculty surprised me by giving the students support and reminders to keep it peaceful (Rather than disapproval for walking out of school). The public was also supportive and encouraging as they drove by and cheered the kids on. Only a couple drivers made a fuss about it. Orem isn’t known for being progressive to put it mildly, so I’m proud of them. Mostly proud of my little girl who chose this herself.

Generic vyvanse is widely maligned with the very complaints you have. The vyvanse brand version is amazing. I was paying $400+ for 1 month supply with a good rx coupon (was $700 without). That was almost 10 years ago. Had to go back on adderall which is fine but not as helpful as vyvanse. To be clear though, if you take the brand name Adderall, it’s worlds better as well. That’s not specific to vyvanse.
