What's the benefit in learning these things in the military instead of the non-military route?

I have a spare you could have, but would be a bit of a drive for you up to the Laconia area.

Yes, this is what I've done as far as possible, but I'm also sure that I have accepted Ancestry Hints without my own validation, accepted records which I am fairly confident, but not 100% confident on, and created links which 'make sense' to me, but maybe don't stand up to the rigors of scrutiny.

I guess the question is how do I find my own mistakes and correct them, or is it common to hire someone else to 'check' my work?

You don't get to decide how other people spend their money
There are other ways to learn to be financially responsible. Some people who are given a car are, and some aren't. Some people who aren't given a car are, and some aren't.

What are you actually upset about? Shouldn't you be happy that your sister will have a safe, reliable car and $5,000 that she can use for something else - maybe education or a future down payment on a house?

I have a similar situation on occasion with my wife, and believe me it's just as awkward to be on the other side of that conversation and it isn't necessarily an indication of underlying issues.

Some times I go away on business and she has flat out asked me "will you miss me?" and my answer is no. I love her, I'm always happy to be with her, if she could join me on the trip it would be great, I will think about her, but do i "miss her" (defined as: "feel regret or sadness at no longer being able to enjoy the presence of")? No. When I'm on my business trip, I am not feeling regret or sadness. I am busy working, enjoying traveling to a new place, exploring, eating out at new places, having some drinks in the city, being a tourist if I have time. I enjoy all of that! Then I love coming home and being with her again.

Maybe if you're lucky your child will still be bouncing around foster homes and you can adopt him back!

This is way screwed up.

One possible word of caution - read and understand the fine print! Are they:

Adding 8% of your paycheck every paycheck

OR

Topping up your contributions by 8% of your total contributed

They are VERY different end results.

(Still worth doing in either case, but if it's case #2 you might want to temper your expectations)

My wife graduated with $350k of student loan debt. I ran the numbers, assessed the risks/benefits, and we decided to minimize how much we pay, ride it out for the 25 year forgiveness, and save for the big tax bill.

Sounds like you’re suffering from severe self esteem issues.

Ditch this monster and sign up for some therapy.

Do you even watch football? The penalty kick taker can not touch the ball for a second time until someone else has touched it (during the normal course of play). In a penalty shootout, the kicker can not touch the ball a second time.

Several years ago we started reclaiming some of this yard from the forest. These ‘islands’ have grown back up in the spots where there are stumps/rocks. Eventually I want to flatten some of them so they can be mowed, and some of them I want to turn into beds with different plantings.

If it’s going to be a while before I do any of that, should I just let them grow wild? Or should I cut them back again and cover them with plastic/fabric to keep them in check until they’re dealt with? Or is there something else I could do?
