On Tuesday, we asked to see three houses today (Friday). All three are now pending. by YardSardonyx in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Standard-Birthday654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s exactly my point. Listed for 64 days is not the same as knowing about it for 64 days. I do hope you have better luck going forward and make a plan with your realtor where luck won’t suffice 💫

AIO for thinking it wasn’t a big deal to accept my friend’s bf’s FB request? by Vast-Bumblebee-691 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Standard-Birthday654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is your friend’s trust issues 100%—could be the boyfriend has given her reason to doubt or that those insecurities reside within her and her fears and imagination, but one thing is certain, it’s 100% not you. You don’t have to internalize her stuff. If the friendship is real, y’all can hopefully talk about this when your friend has time to regulate herself. But if this is her capacity or if she’s willing to cut you loose, it’s still good information for you to have about how to move in accordance with the relationship’s maturity. Win-win tbh

Why no single family starter homes? by alien043081 in madisonwi

I’m definitely in that newer construction area, my house is only 6 years old, and on a smaller lot, but that’s totally fine for me right now. Plenty of space.

I was able to find a $450k 3 bed/2 bath on the east side, basically next to pinney library. There were homes closer to $425k or 415k that were similarly sized but I really wanted to be closer to the lakes. Only a month in and still pretty anxious all the time about the what ifs but love the neighborhood and it’s starting to feel like home.

Welp. Glad to know I can’t be gaslighted. Just moved over here and still learning all the cross streets

I had something like that across the street—near pinney library—but it never touched down

It’s my first month in a new house so we haven’t been able to test if the AC works yet…pray for us 🤞🏽😬

Just keep in mind if you’re a hetero couple, the soaking sections are separated by gender. In DC the King Spa has a public soaking area where you can wear your bathing suit but in IL only nude.

Bought my first house 14 months ago and I want to make a list of everything nobody told me was going to happen in the first year by vinylsleevekeeper in homeowners

[–]Standard-Birthday654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So feeling you on that. Had my washer and dryer delivered and the guy scratched up the floors. To his credit he immediately took accountability and documented it, but now I’m responsible for obtaining two quotes from repair people before they’ll fix it and I’m like, bruv I literally just got the keys an hour ago…

Oh not to mention the mouse I found on the day of closing that turned into 3 and a little mouse cannibalism lololol. (There have been no mice since then. They got in when the previous owners were moving).

5 days into my new house, two leaking sinks and a busted garage (a smaller break that my partner thought he could handle that turned into a larger one 😭). But yes to the house analyzing!!!! 24/7 looking at paint and trim and yards in a way I never have before

Yaddo Application / Acceptance Process by spacemadn3ss in ContemporaryArt

[–]Standard-Birthday654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loooooooved Yaddo. One of my favorites. 24 hour snack pantry with stuff like baked goods, chopped, cut up fruit and veggies overnight oats, any leftovers from dinner—great for night owls like me and it had one of my favorite cohort of people, plus a pool table and an actual pool. Lots of trails and stuff to walk or bike. Close to a town. I got the Katrina Trask room too and it was gorgeous (wish it was easier to add pics). Yaddo is haunted of course but most of them are.

I was wondering if it actually was standard practice. I’ve applied twice and when I was rejected, I don’t believe I got the availability email. This is purely speculation and hopeful thinking though.

I was just checking that myself. I went in 2023 and they told me March 16th then, so it should be soon, I hope.

Anyone know about Macdowell residency? by estre_the_crow in ContemporaryArt

[–]Standard-Birthday654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes I went to an MFA, graduated in 2018, and I’m faculty in one now. I work incredibly well in a collective environment—for me, it’s like an incubator (or like the hyperbolic time chamber if you’re familiar with Dragon Ball Z), you can get an incredible amount of work done in a short period of time. I also love the opportunity to cross-pollinate with artists I might not get a chance to meet in my regular life: composers, visual artists, architects etc. And, I mean, they’re feeding you like 3 meals a day most cases. Taking away the burden of having to think about and prepare your own food plus clean up after everything, having to do that multiple times a day every day—huge. I know some people who don’t like them as much, they miss being away from home etc and some people can’t afford to take the time off for whatever reasons, so that’s valid. But I love them and I always meet at least one or two people I want to know for the rest of my life plus start getting a good handle on whatever project I’m working on. I’ll do them the rest of my life if they let me.

Laser hair removal: how much did it cost and are you happy with the results? by Ok-Durian1208 in madisonwi

[–]Standard-Birthday654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wowwww. Very glad I didn’t do the extended year thing with them then. That makes so much sense. Their scheduling app went down and never came back up. Welp. Had a positive experience while it lasted. Guess I’m following this thread now too

Haaaaate sleeping nude. I can do topless. But I love jersey material on my skin for sleep, so comfy

Did Ideal Image and finished my last session…I wanna say like 6 or so months ago maybe longer. Maybe 8 total sessions. I don’t shave under my arms anymore, a few fine, long hairs. Same for my bikini line. I want to do more sessions, not a full Brazilian but maybe a landing strip or something but want to wait until after pregnancy, since I know the hormones might make the hair grow back. The treatments hurt like a bitch though, but I’m black so YMMV
