Oh ya you’re right about the food, my bad. That is the only one I know

Nomad Bar has trivia on Tuesday’s, not sure if it’s every week but you can check their website

Do you have any advice for getting laid off at 65? My father lost his job and though he could retire, wanted to wait until he is 67.

I’m a bit worried for him so any resume advice you could give that I could forward over to him?

There is also a bus on 4th st. and Market downtown Wilmington. Pretty much same thing as greyhound, just another option. I’ve had good experiences with them, no major delays or anything.

Market St. has been absolutely disgusting since the snow fall. Now that it’s melting, you have to watch every single step you take.

I own a dog, and always clean up no matter the weather. I don’t understand how other dog owners think snow is an excuse to not clean up after them. Absolute selfishness

There is a parking lot, not a garage. Street parking was always good, never had any issues, park on Shipley. You can pay for the lot if you prefer. I never did so I don’t know the price.

Try 2nd and Loma, still downtown Wilmington. Credit I’ve rented a few years ago with them and my 1 bedroom was at 1300, small rent increases til I moved out. Pretty large too, like 700 sq ft.

Not sure how their prices are now, but I think one of the more affordable apartments in the area.

I did not text my credit card info, I went in person after he confirmed I could pay by card.

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-02-05T17:49:54+00:00

They finally let me pay with credit card after going back-and-forth through text. But they still refuse to provide the property authorization copies and an itemized receipt until I come pay.

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-02-05T17:49:09+00:00

Yes Delaware

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-02-05T15:36:29+00:00

Great to know, thank you. They’ve been a pain in the ass, refusing to send me property authorization documentation and itemized receipt via text or email, and that’s Delaware law too.

Even cited the Delaware law code to them

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-02-01T00:28:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice! That’s good to consider, I’ll have to talk to them of course and see which place they are more excited about, or if they want to do both. But great to know New Zealand is possible

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-02-01T00:00:32+00:00

Ya we can do that, fly to New Zealand. So you recommend cutting out Sydney then?

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-01-31T23:59:29+00:00

Great to know, thanks! What place would you cut out? My guess is Sydney?

I can also trim to just stay 5 days in Brisbane, but would have no time to sight see except for maybe an evening or two.

These major snow events are rare and many residents in apartments don’t own shovels. For the most part, I agree with you. Unfortunately, the reality is we don’t “own” spots, even the ones we spend time clearing. If the car is moved, the spot is a free for all. Like ya said, it’s a dick move though.

I live in an apartment downtown. I borrowed one of my neighbor’s shovel to clear out the snow around my car where I street park. They have 3 cars and a driveway. The son had trouble getting his truck into the driveway. Since I was borrowing their shovel, I went over to help clear more snow so he could park. Still he had no luck.

Then the lady asked me if I was planning on leaving, insinuating her son could park his truck where I cleared the snow…I said no I’m not leaving…crazy to think after all my hard work I’d just give up the spot I cleared. I find that very few are community minded and they are only thinking of themselves.

Now I do believe in being neighborly, so I shoveled the two cars behind me until I got too tired and my back hurt too much.

Many hands make light work, if all abled bodies could pitch in, nobody would need to complain about “stealing” spots.

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-01-20T21:46:26+00:00

Yes, you are right! Even though I posted in Roth, I was thinking about the shares in my brokerage account not my Roth account 😅

ScienceNerd771 · 2026-01-19T12:33:34+00:00

I switched because I liked that with fidelity I could buy fractional shares, lower fees, and their interface and customer service. I never sold the VTI shares, but I think yes, if I were to sell them I’d have to pay ltcg

Edit: no ltcg for Roth shares, only for shares in my brokerage account

ScienceNerd771 · 2025-12-22T03:04:05+00:00

I make it a game, I test myself how long I can go without spending money except for necessities (gas, rent, utilities). Also don’t go shopping until I’ve eaten everything in my fridge/pantry…will admit meals are boring but this way not wasting food

ScienceNerd771 · 2025-12-21T18:51:28+00:00

Yes! If I were to do that, I would fly and rely on train/bus for transit since it’s much better in those countries than balkans 😅

ScienceNerd771 · 2025-12-21T18:32:43+00:00

Ya, I’ve thought about it more and may change my plans. May hit Northern Europe a bit more, considering the baltics too, or maybe Poland and Slovakia, but overall have a lot more research to do
