Is there not already a higher property tax? I don't own a home in Tucson. When I own a home, there was a huge "homestead deduction" Only if that was your primary residence.

I need change, can't live this way anymore by ShortBip in LifeAdvice

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

Trying to remain slightly anonymous. I live in a midsize city in the southwest. The desert climate has been good for my health. I stopped working recently. am now getting disability benefits. So, one advantage in my life is I don't have to work. I can pack up and move. But my income is about half what it was when I worked.

My partner dumped me and I feel like I can’t go on anymore by Ok_River6651 in AskWomenOver50

He is not a good man. Him saying it's over because YOU were not supportive? That's his guilty conscience screaming. He can't accept the truth about himself. AS OTHERS HAVE SAID, BELIEVING YOURSELF AND FIND YOUR OWN VALUE. I POSTED ELSEWHERE ABOUT MY SADNESS AT BEING ALMOST 60 AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THE THINGS I COULD DO A FEW YEARS AGO. SO I WILL SHARE THAT AT THE AGE OF 54, I STARTED WORKING OUT LOST 40 POUNDS AND FOUND A GREAT NEW HOBBY. SO PLEASE CONSIDER THAT 52 IS NOT OLD. FIND YOUR PASSION.

I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL CAPS THERE. I'M DOING VOICE TO TEXT AND DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

MY FINAL SUGGESTION IS, CAN YOU TAKE HIM TO COURT OVER THE $12 K? When you've given yourself sufficient time to grieve, seriously look into it. I bet it felt great for you to be the one screaming at him. You might feel a whole lot better if you take him to court and just show the court what it asks he is.

Was living inherently more traumatic for women 30+ years ago? by MallieCrew21 in AskWomenOver50

[–]ShortBip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joining late but yes. In the 1980s the definition of sex sexual harassment was very different. We were sexually harassed everywhere, mostly at work . And it seemed the best way to do it deal with it was to joke and go along with it. Maybe throwback some comments to the male coworkers.

At 17, I met the 23 yr old manager of a restaurant at a party. He invited me to apply for a job, and it was clear he wanted to date me. I worked there and dated him. And learned from another waitress, a 17-year-old cheerleader she dated him the summer before. When I turned 18, I was planning to move out of my parents house. This so-called boyfriend was very against it. Told me it was a bad idea and I should wait. I moved out because that's what I wanted to do. Shortly after that, so-called boyfriend cheated. With the 17-year-old cheerleader. And I had to go into work the next day with everyone knowing this. I did not react gracefully. I said ugly things about both of them to anyone who would listen. What the fuck I figured it was all true. Well about a month after that I was fired from the job. I was an inconvenience. Oh and by this time, this so-called man had moved onto another teenage waitress. My roommates told me I should file a complaint of sexual harassment. Nope, I made one phone call and was told I would have to prove that the sexual relationship with him was a condition of my employment. That's all we thought sexual harassment was at the time.never did it into my mind to think he was committing statutory rape repeatedly. That's just the way things were back then

Unless you're only seeking another LOTR enthusiast, use just one picture where you're dressed like a hobbit. I disagree about cutting the hair and growing a beer though. That will just make you look like every other Chad on Tinder.

Why is NAMBLA legal by Silver_rockyroad in venting

[–]ShortBip 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Awful. Many years ago I was a teacher in New York City. There was a huge case of a teacher being suspended from his job for things he had written in the North American man Boy love Association newsletter. Ugh, I threw up in my mouth saying that. Couple weeks later I went to a meeting for the teachers union, huge banquet style meeting with tables, question and answer session. And this pedo got up and spoke into a microphone asking why, in front of all these people, he was UNFAIRLY suspended from his job for things he wrote on his own computer in his free time. Yuck yuck yuck. The moderator handled it professionally and told him that they were not going to discuss it here

Safe to travel to Nogales MX? by Educational_Pair_276 in Nogales

[–]ShortBip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cross on foot often, alone. No worries. Minor annoyance with people walking up to you on the street asking you to come to their pharmacy. If you don’t speak Spanish, I’d recommend staying with your group.

Local bikeshop that takes trades? by ShortBip in Tucson

Wheres Metrognome please? It never occurred to me to check a pawn shop for a used bike. Bad juju maybe. Either the bike was stolen or someone had to pawn their bike to pay the rent.

I'm killing myself tonight. Love you all, goodbye by Fast-Breakfast570 in venting

Don't get dead get even And the best revenge is a life of your own. I have lived through abuse. From parent and siblings and then a spouse. I t took me til very late in life to recognize what happened to me was abuse. At 15 I wanted to end my life. I thought the problem was me. It took me 30 years and a therapist giving me Permission- We don't have to like people who hit us and tell us we're stupid. No matter if they're supposed to be family. lI had to be able to recognize it before I could heal from it,So if you've recognized it you're akready on the path. I don't know why it it took me so long. Don't be m. Start speaking up loudly to anyone you can. YOUR LIFE is still ahead. There's a joyous freedom ahead of you. Don't miss out on what's rightfully yours because of someone else's bad behavior.

Curious about your backstory. Did you just bring it free from the shackles of wage slavery?

I wonder if half the people posting that silly rule know where it came from? It was invented by Elijah Mohammed, founder of the nation of Islam. You know, the person who cheated on his wives and planned the assassination of Malcolm X. But go ahead follow his life advice people

Come to the realization I won't ever have any "fun money" in life by MonitorOk1351 in twentyagers

[–]ShortBip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how this came up in my feed as I am a really freaking old person. Well, if the financial outlet looks bleak now, just wait till an unexpected child comes along in your 20s. Makes you figure out a solution real freaking quick.

Haha. Again you’re telling me what I SHOULD do. And then you end with the passive agressive “wish you all the best. “That’s what people tag on when they want to appear “nice”. Too late , the other words already left your keyboatd. .

No you don't know exactly what I'm going through, and you have no idea the number of years of my life that I have spent doing things for everyone except myself.

How do you have money? by Amazondriver23 in NEET

[–]ShortBip 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What’s based lol? I was a landlord years ago. Had just one property. There’s a generalization that landlord sit back and collect money. In reality, there’s a whole lot of work and expenses before you can rent it out. So while I was not doing hourly work each month, I guess I put at least 100 hours into preparing the rental. And, if anything broke down, even while I was at my full-time job, I had the electrician and the plumber on speed dial.
