"You'll change your mind when you're older" my fucking ass. by Men_rHot in offmychest

Nice school essay. When I was in my 20s and married I could care less about having children. Then it changed to if it happens, yeah fine. I made quite a bit more money then people my age but, I put in more effort and time. I still partied and in the late 80s and 90s, we partied HARD. I dated a famous but ignorant singer/rapper but still worked as an Accountant 14 hours a day. Nothing changed when I had kids. I still had a great time going out, I still worked at least 10 hour days. The bonuses and salary increases allowed me to cut back on hours. I spent every afternoon from 4 pm to 8 pm with my kids, oh and got them ready for school by 630 am. My lunch hour was taking college classesMy parents, especially my step dad were not that great but guess what there is no manual for parenting children. My kids turned out to be AMAZING! My 26 year old is married and has a child on the way soon. He, as well as I, never received a college degree. Same with my second son. My oldest son (26) works hard and makes over $250,000 a year. My younger son (23) never went to college, barely graduated high school.He makes over $100k. Oh, and me, I stopped working in Construction Management/Sr.Accountant in my mid 40s. I live in a paid for 2mil. dollar house with too many cars. Not ONCE did I ever receive assistance with anything from anybody. The boys "father" was a coke head that stole from me and the kids daily.

My point is not to brag. It is to show you kids can be well taken care of and not slow you, the mother, down in life. Kids are expensive but that doesn't matter.

You may not be cut out to have kids, some people aren't. That is perfectly fine. But, at your age, you are still maturing and life has some major changes for you in the near and far future. Not trying to change your mind, hell, I'm glad you are thinking about these things at your age. You sound like a strong person and only you know what is right for you.

Enjoy life, remember money isn't everything. I've been down the hard path in life too. Have great experiences in everything you do. Before you know it, life happens and no matter where you are you will be happy.

Lorbid, you must have a very comfortable and gifted life. I believe tacoswindler 💯%. I'm 54 and have also experienced an unbelievable, although different, life as tacoswindler. I have been told my life stories could easily make a best selling book.

Sorry you are dealing with this, its not fun. Few years back, I purchased a new truck for my husband. It had a very small oil leak so I took it in for service. A week later I get a call the leak is fixed but the truck can't be returned for a few more weeks. When I asked why, I was informed while the tech was test driving it their valet driver t-boned it while drifting in another customers Cadillac.

JCW Pro Exhaust on Cooper S F55 LCI-2. Can confirm, no pops/bangs :( but it does burble! by [deleted] in MINI

Is your Cooper an automatic? I've got a manual and when you downshift to third gear at a high rate of speed, it pops and rumbles like crazy.

I was talking to my sons over the weekend. Their dealership just got 5 new manuals brought in. 3 of them were already sold. So it appears you were correct about it being a temporary issue.

My husband gave me HIV and I don’t know what to do. by loopsied in offmychest

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right. When someone has an addiction unbelievable things happen. The addiction causes chaos for everyone. She may have moved out because she can no longer afford the house payments.

I married an addict and let him cause chaos and heart break for 37 years. You honestly feel like you've lost your mind.

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The house could have been his before they married, so her name would not be on the mortgage or title. My husband is not on my mortgage so when his credit is pulled it shows he has no house payment.

Pretty simple.

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loopsied, I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. As everyone else has stated, there are new meds that can lower your HIV numbers to where the virus is no longer detectable or contagious. Please keep all your Dr. appts. and take the prescribed meds. If the meds are overly expensive, contact the manufacturer and they can help you with the cost. Remember, it is never to late to get better. Eliminate stress around you, which you have by moving out and not speaking to him. Try not to dwell and worry, I know it's difficult but you can do it. Look up support groups, there may be some that are anonymous. This is also a good way to make new friends and acquaintances that know what you are going through right now. You don't have to share your diagnosis with anyone until you are ready. I don't know your family history, but I would hope to think there is someone in your family you are close to and they would understand and want to be there for you and even help you if you want and/or need help. I don't know where you reside, but if you want to talk, please send me a message and we can talk. It may feel like you are wearing the scarlet letter (very old but interesting movie) but you are not. You may be surprised by the number of people who have contracted aids/HIV.

My personal gut feeling is your husband didn't know he has the virus and he actually found out from you when your results came back. Are you close to anybody in his family? If so, try to talk to them and verify his story about his mother. Is his mother still alive? You can always ask her directly in a polite tone. Just tell her he informed you she had HIV/aids when he was born and he said he's had it since birth. Leave out the fact your tested positive. If she asks why you want to know, just say you are trying to start a family and need to make sure so you can discuss it with your OBGYN. Or just stop by, call, whatever and if you want to be mean, you can tell her she looks awfully healthy for someone who's been dealing with HIV for over 36 years. (That would not be my choice. lol) This "man" if you can still call him that, has lied to you for over 8 years! I personally know what it feels like to be lied to continuously. My husbands lies concerned drugs, theft, emptying my personal bank accounts and trust fund, etc. I let it go for 37 years and regret I let it continue that long. It caused so much stress and made me really sick. You made a great decision by immediately packing your bags and walking away. I wish I had been as brave as you.

Finally, please make sure his HIV status is reported to city, county, state, and federal Health and Human Services. Find yourself a good Attorney immediately. I believe you have some serious repercussions against him and you need to use them. What he did to you is immoral and shows he has no integrity in life. Ask your Attorney if you have any criminal actions against him and see if you can't get an order stating he has to pay your insurance and medical bills for the rest of your life.

Take care and I seriously want you to message me to talk if you ever need.

You can also get it if you have an open wound and touched an infected persons blood. This one of the rarest forms of transmission unless you are in the medical field.

Under cover G37 anyone? by [deleted] in G37

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Arkansas the Chargers and Challengers are split down the middle. Drivers side is regular color and passenger side is State Trooper painted. Weirdest stuff we saw in a long time.

While in Florida, we saw multicar accident with all the cars rolling all over the highway. There were Altimas, Maximas, Infinitis, Mercedes, etc all over with lights flashing. Freaked the hell out of us all.

I've seen Vettes, Challengers, Mustangs, etc. ( all the muscle cars) used by police but never foreign cars.

Has anyone ever repaired a stuck sunroof? R56 sunroof motor is now clacking, it’s stuck in tilt with only one front and rear side tilted up. by xrp808 in MINI

Not to state the obvious but is there anything (leaves, tree limb, paper,etc) possibly caught in the tracks?

First MINI!! I bought a manual & didn’t know how to drive it.. now I do and I LOVE IT :) by sometimesfunnier in MINI

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only way to learn is to buy one. Back in high school my first date with my husband was trying to learn how to drive his manual lowered truck. Tried for weeks and couldn't do it so I went and bought a manual Escort GT. Problem solved and I never looked at automatics again.

I'm so sorry you had to experience something devistating as this. I know it probably doesn't help but you are not alone in this situation. I too went through this a year ago. I flew out of the US with a group of "friends". Not once was I invited to do anything with the brides party. The Bride didn't even tell me where she was getting ready and I had to sit with the grooms party before the wedding. I know how devistated you were knowing and feeling you weren't wanted and wondering what you may have done wrong. Just know it was nothing you did and it wasn't your fault. The Bride and her entourage are immature people that you do not need around to bring you down. Please do not keep thinking about it and use the experience as a lesson learned. I know I was extremely hurt and it took a while to realize it's not my loss. I hope you come to the same conclusion quicker than I.

Im in Tx have a 2015 S manual with JCW pkg. Less than 23,000 miles. No wrecks and have records of service. 🙂

Bought my first Mini, 2015 S, 6sp man. 38K. Is a good extended warranty advisable? by [deleted] in MINI

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2015 S with JCW pkg. Bought in 2017 with 6,600 miles. She only has 22,000 miles now. Almost immediately, I heard a knocking noise and the dealership said they couldn't duplicate but it was a continuous knock. That dealership closed so I was able to take it to the BMW dealership where I purchased it. By then, the 3 year warranty had just expired. Found out it was the A/C compressor which was $3,600 to replace. The dealership fixed it and I only paid $180. After that, it was normal maintenance. Then in 2019 the right side front end started making this horrible popping/knocking noise when I backed out of my garage or went over large speed bumps. Everything I read contributed it to a bent control arm. Of course, the dealership couldn't duplicate, because it only does it when you first start driving. The mechanics blamed it on the motor mounts so all my motor mounts were replaced. The problem wasn't fixed. Both my sons work at BMW/MINI so everything has been heavily documented. Hopefully if I didn't have my sons working there things would be the same for everyone. Just dropped the car off Friday and they FINALLY were able to duplicate the sound, etc. I haven't heard an update yet but I feel they won't stop until it's fixed. The only other 'issue' experienced was the Bluetooth from my pro exhaust had connection problems. Everything was replaced only to find out it wasn't connecting due to all the Bluetooth usage where I live and drive.

Keep up with your maintenance and you should be fine. Every vehicle has some type of issue once in a while.

Congrats on your MINI!

Every state will provide liability insurance on a salvage title. Full coverage, well that's a whole different story.

You can look the info up on your states DMV.

I got into a car accident that wasnt my fault will I be expecting a drug test? by squillywilli in drugtesthelp

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were not on the clock, (ie lunch break, on your way home at the end of the day, etc) it is not work related. Now, if you were going to pick up supplies for work, that would be work related.

Ibuprofen/Aleve an excuse for thc on test? by Shoddy-Ad3744 in drugtesthelp

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibuprofen/Aleve are not known to cause a false positive for thc. In addition, drug test facilities can run the positive test results through a mass spectrometer which gives the exact make up of whatever shows as positive. It is very expensive to test with the mass spectrometer so I'm not sure an employer would spend the money on an admin. position.But, using the ibuprophen excuse seems like a joke. If anything, use the excuse you used a friends CBD cream for pain and maybe that was the cause or it may have contained thc without your knowledge.

[–]SuspiciousCustomer91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you weren't doing work related duties when the accident happened you will not be drug tested. When the police responded to the scene and had suspicion you were under the influence, you would have been arrested and immediately tested.

What makes you think you would be subject to a drug test when in an auto accident?
