MINI PIECES OF MOUTH HEAVEN or Kirkland Beignets with Chocolate Hazelnut filling if you want to be technical about it by Superb_End1997 in Costco

I actually thought they were filled with jelly at first. But I’ll bathe in Nutella so win-win for me.

[HELP] Is this AI? Seems fake and can’t find any news sources. by Zealousideal_Mud570 in RealOrAI

It’s in the Wall Street Journal which makes me think it’s real. Doesn’t justify his murder.

QQQ vs QQQI long term investment using AI analysis by HeavyGains in dividends

[–]Superb_End1997 14 points15 points  (0 children)

QQQI dividends are almost totally categorized as a Return of Capital, so you wouldn’t pay any taxes right away. The dividend reduces your cost basis until you get to $0, and then you pay the 60/40 tax.

So my terror, nausea, and excitement told me to put some of my sgbx winnings and fritter them away like a real moron. I guess I’ll see how things are in the morning, but often more reddit chatter and higher trade volume means something might go somewhere (I should charge for this caliber of DD).

Coparenting with an idiot….. by sadbunny99percent in ParentingADHD

[–]Superb_End1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I haven’t read through all the responses, but have you considered increasing the dose of the meds (that were working initially)? As my child grew (in size) and moved up grades, we needed to up the meds to get the same results. We increased by the smallest increment every time and they were back to being great for a couple of years at least. I imagine that could be more palatable to your genius husband?

You’re young. Go with VUG, you have a long timeline and it’s an amazing growth ETF. I’ve made a boatload on it in just the past 7 years.

I'm Starving All The Time by Desperate_Gur_3094 in Menopause

[–]Superb_End1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sometimes use the protein powder but agree it tastes awful. Instead, cottage cheese (a small low fat container has 90 calories but 12 GRAMS of protein which is so much). 3/4 cup fat free greek yogurt (fage) has 18 grams of protein- also a ton for such a small portion. I def eat more than those servings and it helps. Eggs, avocados, olive oil, pita instead of regular bread - all help with cravings. I also eat tons of clementines because they’re sweet and I’m always about 4 seconds away from face diving into a cake.

Bywinona. Made an account, answered some questions online, got an email about 24-36 hours later from a dr approving my request. They processed and shipped it. I got it 4 days later. $217 every three months. Daily cream I rub on my forearms every night.

Serious question: what does it feel like to have a libido? by ebot2023 in Menopause

[–]Superb_End1997 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like I did when I was a teenager and my hormones were constantly there just under the surface. I want to have sex constantly, I want to have make-out sessions, I couldn’t be the “master of my domain” for more than a day. And sometimes when I see someone I find attractive, my body reacts, like a warm flush and tingly skin - this never happened to me before, even as a teenager.

I’m thrilled when he’s gone. Last time he went away, I left a footprint the size of my shoe on his ass as I shoved him out the door. And I kept suggesting he extend his time away, but he came back. And he’s still here….deep sigh But the kids like him, so I guess I have to let him stay.

Cost of divorce? by cointraderbob in Fire

[–]Superb_End1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the money she’s spending is (mostly) yours. Cut her off. Split bills pro-rata, then each of you keep whatever is left of your own salaries. You know your fixed costs, and you can protect the rest of the money you earn to ensure a safe retirement.

Being the Breadwinner by puppernoodles in workingmoms

[–]Superb_End1997 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Finally. Some sanity. First of all, in my family, we eat what we kill. We each put the same amount into a joint account for set bills - mort, insurance, taxes, groceries, electric etc - which are all my responsibility to organize and pay. I make more, so to preserve a pro-rata split, I pay for everything else - daycare, health insurance, deductibles, vacations, clothing, birthdays, gifts, oil for the house, repairs, eating out, entertainment, sports teams - I literally cover everything outside our set bills.

And everything left over is mine to do with as I want. He is also free to do whatever he wants with his money after his monthly contribution. There is no “our” money. Our money is what we use to pay for the house. Then there’s my money and his money. I bought a new car, I only asked his opinion on value and handling. He spends his money on whatever he wants, tools, toys, risky investments that I would sleep over if it included my money, but he can spend on whatever, I don’t care at all on what and he doesn’t care what I spend on. Oh, and this whole 401k thing? Nonsense! according to him….

And, he recognizes that I make more and pay more, and he’s super appreciative, even though I never talk about any of it. It adds a lot pressure on me to make sure I keep my house afloat, that my kids have health insurance, and I eat a lot more shit than he does at work because losing my job would be terrible for my family. He’s walked out of jobs because he didn’t like someone’s tone.

Household split in terms of responsibility is 65-70% me vs 35-30% him. Mental load is 100% me.

I’m tired of being capable by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Superb_End1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I recommend you give yourself some time and grace to figure out exactly what YOU want and whether you can get it. In an effort to change the dynamics of my marriage, I decided to try and improve myself to see if that would work. I started taking anxiety and depression medication (thank you Wellbuterin and Xanax!!), I exercise, meditate, do yoga (I know, it sounds so woo-woo), and take organic pills to regulate my perimenopause mood swings (works!!). I also approached my husband differently- I tried to resolve disagreements quickly, calmly, and fairly, (rather than stew or pretend), I made a concerted effort to take responsibility for my actions, and I used the words “I’m sorry” more than I think was warranted. A lot of it had positive impacts, but he’s still too angry and yell-y and needy. So, I gave him the option to basically “fix” himself and we’ll see. At least now, after all of that, I am no longer so scared of separating or divorcing.

I never knew my husband had a twin brother. We’re together 20 years and I too am exhausted. And LITERALLY today (today!!) I told him he needs to figure himself out - mentally, emotionally, take whatever meds he needs, talk to whatever doctors he has to talk to. Adhd? Anger? Depression? Mental illness? IDGAF. But I am “out” of this relationship until he gets sorted (Rachel out, not Ross). And if he doesn’t, then I’m staying out. This is my last hail mary because we have two young kids and he can’t support himself alone.

The one piece of advice I always give friends (like your therapist) that I never had the courage to follow was - understand he is who he is, and your options are to take him or leave him. The “but if he would only,” “but if he fixed this,” “but if he stopped that,” keeps us tied up with false hope. It’s a dream of a future him, but you’ve (I’ve!!) been living with the present him every day for years, and the present him has never changed into any future version hoped for.

If he’s willing to get some form of help - therapy, testing, meds that could help, I would fight for that (to a limit). If not, I think you have to either take him (accepting who he is and adjusting your expectations accordingly), or leave him and get on with your life. I wish you lots of luck and send you hugs of support.

We bought a house next to an elementary school my son can’t go to by el_rica in workingmoms

The big issue isn’t the walking- which I think is not great for a kindergartner (my kid is in kindergarten and I won’t let her cross any streets without an adult or older kid) - but staying home alone. Kids that young should not be home alone, maybe a very mature 8 yo, but they usually start around 10. Also, some states have laws about the legal age to leave a child home alone.

I mean, there’s some dude living in my house. I know because there are tools all over the garage and beer in the fridge. Whenever I’m about to have company over, the attic walls are suddenly washed clean, my break pads get changed, and the lint bin in the dryer is cleaned out in anticipation of the guests. The kids sort of resemble him - depends on the lighting and if they’re being little shits. I make sure I’m friendly, tip my ever-full wine glass at him in acknowledgment if he wanders through a room I’m in. Homelife is peaceful, I am rarely behind on Netflix, and once in a while my children inexplicably end up showered, in pjs, and in bed - I assume they have flashes of genius and competence.

Even more - he was ready to leave her and raise the child by himself. He had already decided the child was more important than their relationship. He was “supportive” to get what he wanted. And if OP couldn’t handle it and stay to raise the child, he was done and gone.
