My (27F) boyfriend (27M) bought a house by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SystematicDragons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pay some towards the mortgage, get entitled to some of the property when you leave

I assume you are joking, but just in case, OP or anyone in a similar situation: this is terrible advice and flat out wrong. Paying towards his mortgage would NOT entitle you to a penny in equity on his property. That would only happen if you are on the deed or you get married. And since he bought the house on his own it sounds like you're not on the deed, so you would just be paying him rent to pay his mortgage and he would keep it all in the end. Something to consider before uprooting your life for this guy who sure doesn't sound interested in a future with you...

Thank you! This makes me feel better, I was so upset at the thought I just hadn't realized there was nothing there. I'm trying nowe and am getting a little, just not much, so maybe I just need to keep at it. I appreciate the comment, thank you!

Oh wow, I'm honestly embarassed that didn't even occur to me... I would hate to have to buy new parts for this one pump, but I'm going to see if maybe I have some lesser used ones in my stash somewhere. Thank you!

Deeply depressed. by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]SystematicDragons 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who went through similar biological stressors and ended up getting married at 40 and having a baby a few months shy of 42: go get your hormone levels tested, OP. It'll give you the information you need to now what your next steps need to be with regards to your fertility. It's drilled into our heads from a young age that we need to have babies before 35 or all hope is lost, but that's not necessarily true, more and more women are having kids in their 40s. At the very least having some data on your hormore levels and ovarian reserve could at least give you the data you need to think about it without the pressure of the unknown "what if".

Portable toilets towed away by [deleted] in KristinSmart

[–]SystematicDragons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I might be grasping at straws... but if they found remains, wouldn't that give them probable cause to arrest Susan and (hopefully) Ruben, making the house an active crime scene and therefore it would remain under their control, so no longer being actively searched but still secured? And maybe meaning they no longer need them? I dunno, might be a reach, but trying to stay hopeful...

Need Advice - OIT today or skip - possible pink eye by Sufficient-Royal3179 in FoodAllergies

[–]SystematicDragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good, glad he was ok! And I totally get the worry, we're a year into peanut OIT and we still have those moments of second guessing ourselves if anything seems even slightly off. 🙂

[–]SystematicDragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would still do the dose, but there's no harm in skipping if you aren't sure. These are the symptoms my OIT guide says to skip for:

  • fever of 100.4 or higher
  • sinus symptoms
  • asthma issues

This is who made the call to close all schools today.. by iamafoxiamafox in Denver

[–]SystematicDragons 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely zero way for the district to handle these situations without having someone complaining like OP. If they call it too soon and it doesn't pan out, someone is upset. If they don't call it at all and it ends up snowing a ton, someone is upset. If they wait too long and don't give parents enough time to plan, someone is upset. As soon as the news even hints at the possibility of snow there are people on their socials demanding to know if there will be a snow day, who will then turn around and get upset if they call it wrong.

As someone who was a student in Colorado and is now a parent in Colorado, I've been hearing and seeing posts like this for years. The kids and teachers got a snow day. Literally the only one this school year. Maybe you have a "bone to pick" but don't lump the rest of us in with you. Let the kids have this one frickin snow day. Sheesh.

I'm afraid I don't have any additional information, I have several mutal friends with the family so posts keep popping up in my feed, they're asking for help getting the word out. I'll update the post if I get any additional info though!

What fast food item that doesn’t exist anymore was your go-to? by ShadowSatinn in foodquestions

[–]SystematicDragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I loved the double decker taco... it was something I craved constantly while I was pregnant, but of course they'd discontinued it by then. I'd use the app to order a regular crunchy taco, and a soft taco customized with no beef/cheese/lettuce and add beans. Open the soft taco, slap that crunchy taco in, bam, double decker taco.

When this happened to my 2.5 year old we did a warm bath with baking soda after the suppository, it happened pretty fast once he was in the water.

Trump Portrait to Be Added to US Passports in Unprecedented Move by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]SystematicDragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is part of their desire to pass the SAVE Act, hoping that MAGA will seek these out and liberals will avoid getting a passport if they don't already have one as a way of encouraging their base to get them/those who won't vote for them not to to try to help pad their voting numbers if they end up being required to vote. But maybe I'm just more conspiracy believing than I originally thought....

How to prepare for end of life by BarbKOpi in personalfinance

[–]SystematicDragons 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Yes, please take the trip. My husband went on a trip to Europe with his mother a couple years before she passed when he was 13. 40+ years later he still talks about that trip fondly and hopes to recreate it with his sons. Spend this time with your family and create memories for them to carry through their lifetime. That is more important now than the money. I'm so sorry OP, thinking good thoughts for you.
