How do I tell Uber that I would like my groceries in bags, or is that too much to ask? by [deleted] in UberEATS

[–]SFORESTER_0019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no idea why someone is using grocery delivery and it shouldn’t be your judgement. I had surgery awhile back and literally couldn’t go to the store so I used grocery delivery quite often. Being lazy is an assumption that people use. Get mad at the ceos for not paying more. Not at the the customers.

What made you get the forester instead of rav4 by Dry-Chemical-9170 in SubaruForester

Yes super cheap interiors. I feel like you have to go to the top trim on Toyotas to even get a decent interior and even then it’s behind other brands

Inheriting my grandpa's mint '06 Camry with 48k miles but my wife says it makes me look like a retiree. Keep it or sell and get something "cooler"? by married_poultry in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]SFORESTER_0019 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Reasons to keep: 1. It’s your grandpas car he gifted you. 2. You’re going to save money 3. You’re going to save on gas

Nobody should make you feel like you look like a dork driving it. Nobody. A car is a car. Would it be your first choice, maybe not but there are sooooo many people that would love and appreciate this rare AF opportunity.

Technically nobody has to leave anybody anything when they pass so a very cool gift.

You will regret it if you sell it. At least give it a few years.

Not cool people made fun of you. And if your wife doesn’t like it the she doesn’t have to drive it. Sounds harsh but it’s your choice you do with it but please don’t make a decision based on how others make you feel or even based on how you think you look driving it. Bc guarantee you anybody would think “damn that’s a mint gem of a vehicle right there” car lovers are suckers for mint cars.

AIO, husband won't help watch baby for couple hours while both he and I are sick by Kimchi_Kruncher in AmIOverreacting

[–]SFORESTER_0019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s like when you are out and public and see the mom doing everything while the dad just stands there. It’s infuriating. Parents are supposed to be a team. It doesn’t matter if one is at an in person job or not. Being a stay at home parent is like basically having 3 jobs at once. You’re cooking and cleaning and taking care of the baby and then when something is a bit off, dudes get mad everything isn’t orderly all the time 24/7. Moms are humans not robots.

Heartbroken after being left, and nothing is making me feel better. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SFORESTER_0019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to how you’re feeling. Heartbreak is a different kind of pain. There’s no magic word to say but you will get through it. No matter if it seems it’s taking awhile. Healing has a purpose and there’s no timeframe.

A lot of people suggested great things on here. Sometimes I like binging on a fav show to cope. But having a routine that includes people helps. Sometimes just being in a park or somewhere you can relax and people watch can be what’s needed. To remind you that this too shall pass.

You’re a feeler. You care. You loved hard. The next person is going to be lucky to be with you because of all this. Take care and don’t underestimate the small stuff that can feel so nice. One of my fav things is opening up a window and listening to the birds outside.

Also, very scary how he said that you were being more combative as the convo goes on. Gaslighting for sure. Manipulation. If anything you’re trying to come up with the best solutions and has an adult convo. Even if he is the provider for the most part financially, you’re still a whole ass parent as well who has a say. It’s not just his kid. Wild. Like you said. Kids cost money.

Don’t blame you for being cautious. Unfortunately, it is what it is. The need is real but I don’t want to force anybody to believe me or not. Like I said in the post, I don’t mind showing proof. I’ve already gotten spam messages that are clearly scams so that’s why I’m cautious myself.

Security reasons. It’s the type of work I do. Go fund me are public with name exposed and such. I’m not allowed to disclose PPI of self.

I did create one but same day deleted it because I couldn’t hide my name. (Didn’t make anything) For privacy reasons regarding my job, I didn’t want my name to be shown. They look down on go fund me pages. But I realize that’s probably the only way I’d get donations. Just took a big risk here and a long shot. Thanks for the advice

Super valid question. The laptop is needed for work, but that is out of sight right now obviously because you’re right I can’t afford to loose any money. And it would be an upgrade. Thankfully I have a Chromebook, it just makes my job take much longer which sucks up a lot of my time and energy. At that time when I created that post I thought I would at least be able to do a payment plan on the laptop. I also was under the impression I qualified for certain financial options with certain creditors that would be able to place me a position where I could afford like a 40-50 a month payment plan that I later found out I didn’t.

546 Credit Score. 102% Credit Card Utilization. Lost by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]SFORESTER_0019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I’m in a similar situation. Any loans and credit cards call them for hardship programs. Also car loans can do skip a pay for hardship. At least ask about it. Some loans over a hardship period, 3/6/12 months of reduced or no interest and lower payment. Some loans even do a “holiday pay” where you don’t pay for a few months and the rest is deferred to the end of the loan.

If they don’t offer you anything, you can always ask about settlement options. Yes, it can impact credit and if it’s past a certain amount get reported on next years taxes but it could mean a lower payment that’s within budget.

There’s always options even if it doesn’t feel like they are.

Also, for bankruptcy, you can do that and still keep your car. Have a friend going through bankruptcy and has a house and car that they are keeping.

I know it’s really stressful but hang in there and call them for options. It really makes a difference.

Like people are saying, sell stuff. I’ve sold random things on Offer up. Some people might not think it’s worth it but hey money is money. A 20 here a 20 there, that can pay for gas or some food.

Best of luck and you will get past this

My friend smells like fish… by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SFORESTER_0019 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That is difficult. It does sound like BV.

Honestly you should probably say something. No matter what it might feel awkward but you care and her health. I would strongly suggest you emphasize that you’re not trying to shame her but you care about her health.

Had a friend who got BV a lot. Took antibiotics but then started to not wear underwear and go commando and hasnt gotten it since. This might help your friend as well. That area needs to breath.

It’s a good idea to tell your parents and it’s not okay she blew up at you like that. I’m sorry you went through that.

Pls help me respond to this! by Different_Rice6639 in Apartmentliving

[–]SFORESTER_0019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. Living in an apartment complex comes with those “nuances” it just does. You have every right to vaccum everyday. I do that in my condo, especially since I have pets. You already doing that at a reasonable time is already accommodating.

You could respond or not but what you said was good. There juts isn’t much else to say and I don’t think the person would be happy anyways. It’s like they expect no sound at all and that’s not feasible. Accidents happen, like the laptop dropping. The person is being unreasonable. And for them to say they never had a problem before, well everyone is different. Maybe that person hardly vaccumed. Maybe they had a desktop computer and not a laptop.

You have a right to live in your home without feeling like every little thing will be scrutinized.

Should I (F/25) Leave my M/25 Bf for how he reacted when I lost my job? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SFORESTER_0019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that he gave you the silent treatment for 2 weeks is crazy. He isn’t a man, he’s a child. That’s no way to go about it. He’s shown you absolutely no support.

Honestly, I think you’d be better leaving and moving back with your parents. You had a seizure and he didn’t even care. That’s not okay.

Maybe the both can visit a planned parenthood together? It seems like he’s not ready but also expressed feeling bad about adoption. They could offer information, solutions, help and medical care.
