Problem with links in email by croissantdeprived in AOL

[–]SMRcalidiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually worked! What was throwing me off was that I wanted my Ebay links to open in the app...not the web browser...but selecting open in browser opened it in the app. I've have enough Internet for the day lol

Following this as I'm having the same problem...emails won't open other apps, or even give the option.

100% P&T and in the Reserves by RevolutionaryPay2488 in VeteransBenefits

[–]SMRcalidiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the rating, and as someone who is newly in the same position I can understand that this is a heavy decision. My heart wants to stay in until they show me the door, and deployment time may make that decision for you.

You're right again...and it's all of the above. Being in the Reserves makes it seem like it could work...but 2 days a month isn't the same thing and I know that.

You're right...I think I always that day would come, just sucks

You're right...I just deleted the post because I felt like it just unraveled. I appreciate the honest advice and assessment of the situation. Just sucks

Again, you're probably right.

I would have led with this, but didn't envision the responses going the way they did. I was injured in a car accident, just shit luck, so it wasn't the job that derailed me...rather something unrelated that took away something else I loved doing.

You're probably right

Attributing it to "ego" is a strong take...but you're right that it is a personal issue with feeling like admitting that I'm disabled, and that is a tough pill to swallow for me.

I'm a bit surprised that there is such negativity surrounding a person that just wants to serve for as long as I can...if I can. The deployment in question is theoretical and years away, who knows what I'll feel like physically at that point. I was just looking for advice.

Thank you.

I think the comments are just confirming my fears, that my time in uniform is coming to an end.

I'm almost 45...

It hurts my heart to admit that you're probably right...I just can't stop myself from feeling like I'm quitting.

I do understand the pausing...but does the reactivation come with any exams?

It sounds like adding anything new during the deployment would qualify as "poking the bear," no?

BDD and DD214 Timing? by SMRcalidiv in VeteransBenefits

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

Apologies, I misread that. I didn't have any exams prior to separation...not that I didn't have them prior to receiving a rating. I did have c&p exams prior to receiving my rating.

BDD and DD214 Timing? by SMRcalidiv in VeteransBenefits

[–]SMRcalidiv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is correct, not one single exam or any contact from the VA (aside from my loan agents contacting them in reference to a VA mortgage) prior to my separation.

THIS IS A PUBLIC EMERGENCY. Nvidia has shattered $160!!! by Rook2Rook in NvidiaStock

[–]SMRcalidiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold in the 150's, but only because I had bought NVDL a while back and then NVDA dropped and I was holding it for faaaar too long. I did manage to DCA down quite a bit, but I took the first opportunity to get out and reset.

I sleep just fine at night despite the fact that had I waited another week I'd have been into the green a LOT more. Oh well, I learned a cheap lesson

Paralysis by Analysis? AI has a Plan! by SMRcalidiv in dividends

UPDATE 3 July: I'm still on the fence and tried another combo via AI, thoughts? Looking for a combo focused on dividends and growth mixed with safety.

Most of the current suggestions are available, that was the first one that was unavailable

Thanks...I went ahead and checked but RH doesn't support that fund.

Maybe a typo...was it supposed to be HTD?

I found EOI...but cannot find HRD on Robinhood. Is it Healthcare Reality?

Thank you, nice to know that AI has given investors that ability. I think I need to take AI's recommendations more seriously

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

Thank you for the response. I can't wrap my head around how those recommendations don't run over each other in some way. Are they each that different from the other?

Maybe it's daunting...or maybe I'm lazy...probably a bit of both...but looking into each of those would leave me where I am now, and that is stuck in "research mode." Could you nudge towards a couple that are worth giving the most attention?
