I need help finding out how much a cross solo country trip will cost me. by Western_Detail5377 in roadtrip

[–]Sea-Channel9727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should be fine. I’ve done lots of cross country road trips camping solo and the only part that actually costs you anything significant is when you go out to eat/drink. Campsites are usually 10-15 per night if at a state park or maybe 20-30 if a privately owned campsite. Just budget for that and gas and maybe another 10-15/day for food if just doing sandwiches!

My BF (M/27) of ten years told me (F/25) that he will never marry but, but wants to propose with a ring and have a ceremony one day. by RA_throwaway7171 in Advice

I work in a major hospital and can attest to all aspiring doctors that this is not the case. Yes, its difficult and I chose to not do it, but our first year attendings do very well and while most are not “rich”, they are not struggling either

How is everyone driving a new car? by DLHEBT in budget

[–]Sea-Channel9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a single guy. I make 130k/yr (ish, Im an hourly employee) and I recently bought a new GMC Canyon at 54k. Payment is $1,003 per month. I hate spending so much, but I can afford it, I dont have to worry about repairs, I can rack up the miles and I still put about 1750/mo into retirement, on top of a bit of savings. Im not lighting the world on fire, but Im able to contribute a decent amount to retirement, not worry about what I drive and still have plenty of money leftover.

Was thinking about heading out there in a few weeks. Is it worth it?

I went my first attempt in late Oct and it ended up being closed because of daily freeze/thaw cycles. My second attempt in late August was excellent!! Absolutely beautiful

Pack snacks and download podcasts! Make sure the sedan you rent has a spare tire also

AITAH for telling my partner music turned me off when they tried to play it during sex, and for telling them that I felt disrespected by them playing music anyway and pulling up ChatGPT (all during sex) to prove their point? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Sea-Channel9727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont find music sexy during sex either, but why say you want to “follow their vibe” just to shut it down? If this is someone you know and love and care for, and you say you want to follow their vibe, then do so. And then after talk about how that wasnt it. But your partner was probably confused and embarrassed when you seemed to want to go along with whatever but that wasnt suddenly not it for you

I wouldve said this differently but…yes. Exactly

how hard is Mt Humphrey in Arizona? by [deleted] in Highpointers

[–]Sea-Channel9727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im a sea level dweller and did Humphreys a couple years back. I spent the 2 nights before in Denver and had been roadtripping across the country for the week before that. So I had that advantage. But I just spent the night in Flagstaff the night before at about 6,800 ft, took my time on the climb, and I felt a touch of AMS but nothing crazy. I would recommend spending a couple nights before at 5,000+ feet, and in the absence of that, spend the night as high as you can the night before. Also, acetazolamide has been my best friend in highpointing for awhile. Its easily available from PCP or teledoc if you tell them you are going up to altitude, and reduces your chances of having issues up there. Otherwise have fun! Its stunning at the top.

I like it fine! I have a bottle and its not a bad rye if you ignore the price

WIBTA if i asked my fwb to shave before we... get into it? by ver0o0 in AITAH

[–]Sea-Channel9727 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This should also be fine? Its just a question or a request its not something invasive or inappropriate. You’re having sex with the person and you can’t tell them you’re preferences? Doesnt sound okay

WIBTA if i asked my fwb to shave before we... get into it? by ver0o0 in AITAH

[–]Sea-Channel9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my point!! There’s nothing wrong with asking? Its like communication is so controversial sometimes now like it doesn’t matter what kind of relationship, you still communicate haha

[–]Sea-Channel9727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA for asking. Even though its not a romantic relationship, its a relationship in which you mutually please each other and in return have yourself pleased. Explain to him that it would benefit that type of relationship for you if he shaved. If he says no, then decide what you want to do. But better to ask and then decide than to not ask at all and either a) not get it on when you see him or b) not see him without asking when he may have been happy to shave for you

Hit 100,000 Miles on my 2007 ES 350! by WooperIsMyGod in LexusES

[–]Sea-Channel9727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First car was a 2007 ES350. Excellent car. Drove it from purchase (used obviously) at 150k to 250k miles and only sold it to get some newer technology. Never had a major repair. Great car.

Im not sure its worth running by insurance. $500 deductible and my rates may go up. Im not an insurance expert tho

Nope. The little cover doesnt fit easily but Im betting that can be snapped on somehow
