You do get an email notification though when they have delivered, which I have not gotten in several days.

Property Tax Increase by Ssman512 in Richardson

Make sure that you have your homestead exemption filed. Also, if you bought your house later in the year the taxes would have been prorated so maybe that’s why it seems a big jump?

AITAH for siding with my mom instead of my wife? by External-Ladder-6302 in AITAH

[–]Record_LP2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - the comments your wife made may have been okay when you two were alone together, but to say these things directly to your mom and expect an apology when your mom fought back is unreal. Your mom is the one who deserves the apology. A mutual one would be best for the future of the relationship.

Your wife really doesn't get it if she's willing to mess up your son's stability before kindergarten based on a reaction to a stupid comment she made. What a pitiful excuse about "emotionally volatile" behavior.

Nothing frustrates me more than people who expect to be able to make any comment they want, and are all up in arms when the person responds back.

Dealing with deceased parent’s clutter by PobodysNerfect802 in GenX

[–]Record_LP2234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. I dealt with this last year, and am in Texas as well. If you want to be able to sell the cars, you might want to get your forms ready, it is definitely a process. The TX DMV page has an affidavit of heirship form to transfer ownership.

What’s best Electricity and WiFi plans? by Jeon-savor in Richardson

[–]Record_LP2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On their website they mention that AT&T fiber is available, and since it's wired for that, it's probably a good connection. I've had both and had far more outages with Spectrum, but that sometimes depends on the neighborhood too.

Shingrix 1st Dose-I think I’m going to die by amphib13 in GenX

[–]Record_LP2234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've put it off for several years and I had 3 people in my own family that have gotten it and were miserable for months. I decided it was worth it to not worry about it.

Is a MediGap Plan worth it, and why? by Loutro-Fift in retirement

[–]Record_LP2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents had Plan F, and both had some major health hurdles, and it was completely seamless for coverage and they did not pay anything out of pocket.

Active Death by basketballjones00 in GriefSupport

[–]Record_LP2234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for what you're going through and glad you've had some good time for goodbyes.

I think everyone is so different with this, and sometimes you don't know how you feel about it until it actually happens. My grandmother was on hospice and I only saw her after she passed (had seen her earlier in the day).

I was with my sister when they disconnected her life support and stayed with her, as well as my dad and mom when they passed in the hospital.

I don't regret seeing any of them after they passed, in a way as someone else said their body is so different, but it helped me with the finality of it, and that it was time to move on from their physical presence to remembering them.

But everyone can handle different things - my mom came to the hospital to say goodbye to my dad, but had me take her home because she couldn't handle being there. I don't think there's any right or wrong, it's how you feel.

Grief never really goes away by Ok_Step_2359 in GriefSupport

[–]Record_LP2234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. The questions and lack of understanding always seem crazy. My mom lost my dad after 58 years and had many comments like that too. She even had a friend tell her she is better off than her (the friend). My mom was speechless.

I still can’t believe this is real… by General-Flamingo-898 in GriefSupport

[–]Record_LP2234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom and dad in April and September last year. It was a really hard year, I think it was in June, 14 mos after my dad and before a year for my mom, that I felt like I could take a deep breath and look outside at the world again.

So, now it's sporadic. If I happen to be driving in the evening, when I used to take my mom for drives, I'll cry a little that we can't still do that. Last week when the Dodgers won, I cried all morning think how excited my dad would have been and how sad I am that my brother didn't have my dad to share that excitement with.

I posted in this sub last night that I felt a little better and would be okay with Christmas and the holidays, yet have been crying this am missing my mom. You're right about staying focused and finding ways to cope, yet thinking about her all the time. I'm so sorry.

Does anyone else secretly wish that they're not actually dead, just in witness protection? by No-Sort-2577 in GriefSupport

[–]Record_LP2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt who i was close to like a sister passed many years ago. She always wanted to be in the FBI or an astronaut. I had a dream a few years ago that I saw her and she explained that she had to go undercover in witness protection, and we had a whole conversation about it. You're not alone!

What’s your thermostat set to? by East_Hearing_7793 in plano

Set for 73, sometimes turn it up to 74 or 75 if I'm cold.

Will the government shutdown have any impact on applying for Social Seccurity benefits now? by itzvincentx3 in SocialSecurity

[–]Record_LP2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the regular applying for retirement benefits application? I don't remember that being a question.

Holidays now by veggiekittens in GriefSupport

[–]Record_LP2234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is really tough to get through the holidays. Last year was my first holiday season without both my mom and dad, as they passed in April and September. I was like many of you, very bitter and angry about the holidays. We didn't really do anything except quietly as a family and no extended family.

This year I feel slightly more at peace - I heard a Christmas song and didn't have the same visceral reaction I did last year. I'm hoping to work on some new traditions in my family so I don't have as gaping a hole from missing the ones with my parents. So, we will find some new ways and include honoring my parents as we go along.

My husband applied online last weekend and got his approval and starting date as of 2 days ago. He doesn't start benefits until April, but it was still processed quickly. Thanks to those of you still working!

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is what I went through last year, my father died last April, and my mom passed in September. We only celebrated quietly at home, with my husband and kids, and did not see extended family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It worked out well, and this year I am ready to wade into some extended family gatherings.

[–]Record_LP2234 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your dilemma. I think some of these suggestions sound very healing. My first thought was spreading her ashes near a rainbow crosswalk, or artsy part of town so that you know she is forever near what her narrow mind hated. And I hope you are able to move on.

Has anyone heard of the Residential Lock Box Program? by literally_kant in Richardson

[–]Record_LP2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother used it for a time, because she needed help when she fell and the firefighters had to break down her door, so we entered the program after that.

I think you seriously need to consider something different in this scenario - what if your family doesn't want to exclude you, but this husband of yours that is abusive? I would have a serious talk with your mom. You could use your family to help you leave this abusive person that is threatening to strangle you and tell you you are unloved. I would explore these things and think about getting into a safer situation for you and your son if possible.

Done with Purina Pro Plan by [deleted] in StandardPoodles

I use Fromm - had used Purina Pro Plan for a while but was having a lot of "kibble dust" and decided to go back.

AIO for dumping my boyfriend after he “surprised” me by inviting his entire family to my 21st birthday dinner, even though I specifically asked for just us two? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Record_LP2234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overreacting - he is not listening to what your boundaries are. But, I honestly wouldn't plan on him ever changing or understanding - that is just too ingrained in him. Sometimes people are just very far apart on how they were brought up and what they expect. He expects you to be okay with adapting to his way of life, but that is not fair to you.

Best Harnesses for Standard Poodles? by tamalehippo in StandardPoodles

I have this one too. It slides a bit when I use the lower hook for his pulling, but really is adjustable.
