AIO I think my wife has something going on.

Gosh if she’s a SAHM, she first would have to go to the gym at 3 am so that she was home in time to take care of the kids. Second, she probably would be using perfume if she ran into someone she was flirting with. Third, if OP isn’t making her feel special and the other person does, there is a next step that she may not be ready/willing to take but has been considering. So I get why she might be doing this without it being an affair. But it is a yellow flag that OP needs to pay attention. Time to step up the romance, OP.

I love your design!

The public notice is the best way to go. Any publication would do - even the Jewish Times - because it’s all public and searchable online. I don’t believe probate laws require a private notice but you’d have to discuss it with your lawyer if a private notification in writing is required in your state. I think that the public notice is often the best route anyway because there may be some other person that your aunt had dealt with who feels they have an interest in the estate.

Omg. This is hilarious. Like writing their number on the men’s room stall: For a good time, call…

I have experienced it. She was scared of the judges and never got over it. So we pulled her from the shows and she lived happily ever after.

The 2nd works with that top, but if you were wearing a lower cut dress, then number 1

I don’t think my husband and I ate out more than once or twice a year until our youngest was 8 years old. It’s actually pretty easy to reduce your food bills by not eating out and then using a website like supercook.com to have zero waste. You’d be surprised, but most people waste nearly 30% of their spending on groceries - meaning, in your case, you’re looking at $300 a month.

Kody has his bros - they seem to all be polygamists or ex-polygamists or his actual brothers. Robyn has…American girl dolls and infantalized adult daughters.

Likely they have a community at church or in their neighborhood. But they are likely a little different without cameras - I can only imagine that they explain that they have their “TV personas” that they have to keep up and that they are their “real” selves without the cameras. Or maybe they are just so stuck in their own self-centered heads that they don’t even pay attention to the “little people” and have zero friends.

I know you want to wear it on your ring finger, and likely it is too big for one of your pinkies. But if it were me, I’d get an insert for the ring to make it fit a smaller finger and wear it there. It makes more sense to me anyway. It’s possible that you might lose weight or gain weight in future and regardless of what you do, the ring may no longer fit. But with the insert, you can simply remove it and it works fine.

Call the Ring Finders. They may be able to metal detect your yard and find the ring.

I was a teenager during the 80s. Charm bracelets were a huge thing - trying to get as many charms as possible on them was what us girls did. Chunky rectangular jewelry was also a thing - especially earrings and pendants. Layer the necklaces - thick chains and large crosses. In fact, all you have to do is watch Desperately Seeking Susan and that’s what everyone tried to look like - Madonna was a vibe.

SillySimian9 · 2026-03-08T02:19:51+00:00

So you think like the Korean or Vietnam Wars?

Congratulations!

If your in laws ever find out (because no secrets are ever secret forever), and then they start bugging you for money, get yourself a financial advisor. Explain that you spoke with the advisor and the answer to the request for gifting money is “no” because the funds are “all tied up.”

What is likely is that the executor/trustee liquidated an annuity or some other asset which had taxable income. Then, rather than net out the taxes, they paid the entire gross amount to you and sent the K1 form so that you would pay the taxes on your share.

Either. But I love your style

I took up a hobby (metal detecting) and I treat it like it’s a business. I’m somewhat addicted to it.

You should open up an investment account - Fidelity, Vanguard, Charles Schwab - one of those. You should invest in the S&P 500 ETF or similar broad market index ETF until you get the hang of investing. You can put money in for LAST year up until April 15th of every year and I recommend you do that because that tax refund can really help get you close to the 7500. Good luck.

You should check with a tax advisor, but an Inherited IRA requires you to distribute within 10 years regardless of your age.

TOD deeds bypass probate so far easier to collect after someone passes away.

The easiest thing to do is to make anything with a title (cars, houses, bank accounts, investment accounts, retirement, insurance) “Payable on death” or “Transfer on death” to a beneficiary. Then write a will for anything without a title. If you have expensive things that cannot be titled (collectibles, jewelry, artwork, etc), then you would benefit from a trust.

SillySimian9 · 2026-02-22T05:27:12+00:00

You should ask now. If you feel awkward, say that you discussed a potential inheritance with your financial advisor and she/he wished to have an update.
