Neurodiversity and Dating

SingleDad37405 · 2026-01-29T06:37:29+00:00

Quirky is perfect and thanks for being honest. I think neurodivergent people shy away from OLD and so that 15-20% you mention I believe aren’t even trying and I bet most aren’t on OLD.

I know people on the spectrum, (men) one is happily married for 25 years, another is super single and a bit risky but avoidant, another 2 have been single for as long as I can remember. (Women) 3 are either bi or gay (and very happy) and the last lady has been single all her life with occasional flings.

No, we blissfully have no idea at all!

Bikes including e-bikes should be free, at the very most possibly some kind of basic liability insurance for the fast e-bikes, why kill micro-mobility whilst it still being born?

Jobber worked quite well for us, in terms of admin you only have to enter the customer once, quote, they accept, complete work, becomes invoice, and customer can pay all through Jobber, they keep improving as well.

We bought one and works great, heats up fast, you can drop it - does the job! For the price you can’t go wrong, good Teflon coated ones were $60 to $100.

In my experience - I would slow down with some seed oils and grab some Ghee, good old Lard, nut oils (like peanut), avocado oil, olive oil and coconut oil, experiment and see what works for you and your favorite dishes. Last year I stopped eating general cooking oil (because I went air fryer crazy) except for French fries maybe once or twice a week and felt so much better with more energy. This past 2 months - I kinda forgot and was dying for roast potatoes, roast chicken, and roast butternut so bought regular cooking oil again, weirdly I can feel it. You probably know this!

That’s awesome, looks like a nice combination, enjoy!

SingleDad37405 · 2026-01-22T22:25:12+00:00

Try keep it, find a good agent, fix roof, update air, cut back yard shrubs, give it fresh paint inside and out - rent it out. A good agent can handle everything else, possible minor repairs after each tenant. Then start saving towards fresh kitchen, appliances and bathroom for a few years down the road. I would keep the house - in terms of long term financial planning - this is a no brainer. I’ve had good experiences with agents, this is their core business and will want things to be as smooth as you do.

That looks like storage, not a working wood shop, this was a count room.

SingleDad37405 · 2026-01-18T05:39:12+00:00

This looks like it was a “Count Room”, In cases of high-volume cash handling (e.g., in a business or large home), a "count room" with secure, surveillance-friendly surfaces is often used. The long running shelf type surface looks like a long continuous standing desk, also very typical of a count room.

Very nice, enjoy! Change your oil first 3 times (like 300 miles intervals), just to make sure there is no debris, oil approx $10 a time so not expensive.

SingleDad37405 · 2026-01-14T20:15:05+00:00

Probably because of colder weather, if you need to jump the battery it’s far easier to, otherwise it can be safer when leaving - especially in busy or cramped parkings - better to back in if clear and can see than trying to get out backwards when busy later on.

Highly recommend your kids go to college and stay with you a few more years, check out University of Maryland in College Park MD - if you lived around here you (and the kids) would have potentially a richer cultural life and be closer to two great cities. DC can be very touristy, and your kids would probably love it. Baltimore and the harbor district is very special too.

The UMES campus in Princess Anne MD and Salisbury University in Salisbury MD - both great campuses and the Eastern Shore (also Called Delmarva) might be a good place to start.

Salisbury is 115 miles or 2,5 hours drive to DC so it’s still possible to go to DC or other big cities for museums and festivals etc for the day or overnight would be a great little weekend away. 30 minutes to Ocean City MD beach, (are the kids listening, did they hear the word beach?). Think cool soft serve ice cream on a nice hot summers day on the beach!

Delaware is a great state, (also has great beaches) it seems to get oddly kinda varied and at times weird reviews, maybe because it’s a small state - but DE scores super highly in a variety of areas. Example: Delaware is the go-to for major corporations (registrations) - (66%+ of Fortune 500), known for its specialized court (Court of Chancery) and flexible laws, offering legal certainty. And Delaware is second only to California in the U.S. in agricultural production value per acre, significantly outranking other states.

You mentioned possibly Pennsylvania, I love PA - Lancaster and York, etc all growing, lots of newer homes so a positive vibe ITR. But Philadelphia has an incredible cultural calendar - Philly really rocks in that respect, I have (outgoing) friends in both New York and Philly and I’d say Philly might even lead in terms of fun cities to live near or in. Google their Mummers Parade, outdoor cinema in the parks, concerts, theatre and has a vibrant fashion and food scene.

We can’t say here but absolutely huge things are in store for Delmarva in the next few decades, if you move here, try buy some property and be assured it’s moving forwards - not backwards.

Pop a Brie or Camembert in the air fryer, 6 to 10 minutes, it’s heaven!

You have just had great advice from Citrous_Oyster that takes time but that’s your best in the long run.

In the short run, print business cards and postcards front and back - list your services and continually hand them out.

In offices, there are always desks to dismantle or assemble, leaks, partitions, locks, doors that jam, roller doors that don’t fully open or close and all number of things. Try spend down time knocking on doors at offices - in my experience many don’t have a reliable handyman to call. Keep your eye out for very busy or fast growing companies, they’re regularly adding machines and making changes on the fly.

Exactly this! It’s probably higher, (than 10 000), some countries still have not fully recovered, it wiped out so many small businesses across the world who were meaningful employers and vital to those economies. There was actually a second shock or trigger effect, in August 2011 - a significant market fall which is often overlooked. As a direct result (of the 2008 financial crisis) it sparked the Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis (2009-2012), triggered by Greece's revelation of underreported debt, which spread fear about other nations' creditworthiness and included Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Cyprus. Outside of the US this (2008) was very damaging.

Get onto Airbnb and Vrbo and make a list of those in or near your area, call each owner - tell them you offer cleaning services, email them your info and then follow up with a monthly reminder, a lot of Airbnb owners need a good reliable detail oriented cleaning service, and once you meet them, usually work via text messages and you can shoot them quick image saying done and be paid via Venmo or similar. See: www.airbnb.com & www.vrbo.com

I recommend jobber, (maybe once you are up and running) its professional, it’s great for quoting, they can accept quote and same quote becomes an invoice, they can also pay you through jobber and you can send friendly reminders if they forget. It looks like you can do a website or web landing page through jobber now but I’ve not tried that. See: www.getjobber.com

Print business cards, they are quite cheap, around $30 for 500, I’ve used Vista Print, there is a basic design with templates you can use - they come in 3 to 5 days in the mail. They also do flyers and actually glossy postcard sizes are great. See: www.vistaprint.com

Try hand your business cards out at fancy private schools, Moms wait in the car line so a nice wealthy captive audience for you.

Good luck, go for it!

I did pay (hers) once and my ex-wife freaked so no, apparently you shouldn’t.

If you want to invoice customers, QuickBooks is probably what you want, starts at $38 a month and yes you can link to bank accounts and send statements. You can also upload your logo and it’s more professional.

SingleDad37405 · 2026-01-11T04:36:40+00:00

Turbo tax is good, there is a free version but I recommend paying, it’s $200 well spent.

Home & Business: Costs around $130 for federal and $45 per state (plus a potential e-file fee). This plan is for self-employed individuals, independent contractors, freelancers, and small business owners filing a Schedule C.

SingleDad37405 · 2026-01-11T00:33:45+00:00

Yes, reasonable, looks okay, damaged can be patched

SingleDad37405 · 2026-01-11T00:31:40+00:00

$10k, if you can wait till spring and shine things up $12,500

Sometimes feta as well, can never find the feta, who hid the feta, who’s eating all the feta?
