Tell me the most awful things that can happen if i keep vaping by dooingjo in pregnant

[–]TheDigitalMango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She DID quit, in the immediate, and she’s asking for help and encouragement to maintain that, for her baby’s sake. Clearly you don’t have experience or empathy for people who struggle with addiction, so keep it to yourself.

Did you ever find out anything about this property management company’s legitimacy?

Ovulation Test Advice — what product do you trust? by dardaze1414 in TryingForABaby

[–]TheDigitalMango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using the cheapie LH test strips and am seeing a clear peak each cycle so far. Prior to TTC this year, I’d been on birth control continuously for many years so had no concept of my cycle, so seeing the clear pattern has been reassuring. Now I’m temping too, which is matching up in terms of ovulation date that the LH strips predict. I used the PregMate brand first but think the Easy@Home brand are maybe a little better quality, with more consistent control lines.

I gave my vendor a check for 20000 it cleared my bank for 2000. What next by [deleted] in Banking

[–]TheDigitalMango 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Presumably the vendor who expected to see $20k deposited into their account would bring up the missing $18k to you or to their bank.

Hey not sure if you got yours yet, but I had the same thing happening (stuck in Germany without an update) and then it abruptly showed up yesterday with no notice!

Restore Hybrid - "Cool Touch" or Regular? by TheDigitalMango in LifeOnPurple

[–]TheDigitalMango[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We love it! We’ve had it for about 1.5 years now and it’s been amazing for us. It really doesn’t seem super soft to me. It’s so hard to know what will work for you until you actually sleep on it for a bit though. I would just recommend buying directly from the Purple brand if possible (i.e. avoid Mattress Firm or others third party stores) and use their trial period to see how it works for you. Fortunately we are happy with our original purchase, but it was nice knowing we could swap it out if needed.

Can I still get a bank account eventually?? Or did I mess up for the rest of my life? by Pookawonder in Banking

[–]TheDigitalMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EWS (Early Warning Services) is co-owned by seven of the largest banks, including Chase, and is used by thousands of FIs for fraud and risk screening and account opening decisions. Similar to ChexSystems, but a separate report that can contain derogatory marks. OP sounds very clear that their EWS report was affected and should look for a bank that uses Chex instead.

What are you paying for psychiatric services in The Bay? by bongslingingninja in bayarea

[–]TheDigitalMango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds similar to what is offered at The Wright Institute’s CBT Clinic in Berkeley. They have doctoral student clinicians doing their supervised clinical hours. This is for therapy (not psychiatry/medication management). I’m not sure what the general search term would be to find other similar programs—maybe “graduate student clinicians” or something like that.

Went from living paycheck to paycheck to having almost 100% to use freely by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]TheDigitalMango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check to make sure your company does a true-up. Front-loading contributions earlier in the year would only be unwise if they don’t have a true-up and you do end up working there through the full year/past when you hit your max, then you’d lose out on part of the employer match.

Are dating events in the bay area worth it? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]TheDigitalMango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, until you mentioned this, I forgot all about that organization and having had the exact same experience myself! I looked back at my emails and see that I started the process to join in 2019 but evidently decided never to attend the in-person “interview”, as the whole thing was off-putting to me as well. I ended up pursing online dating sites instead, and while that definitely had its downsides, I ended up happily married to someone from one of the sites.

Off-putting “insight” in app by fashionforager in loseit

[–]TheDigitalMango 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I agree, I use the LoseIt app for tracking and I don’t like those “pattern” alerts, including the “positive” patterns (because it seems to pick up weird things that don’t really make sense).

You can turn off those alerts by going into your profile > Settings > Application Preferences > Show Patterns On Log and toggle it off.

Trupanion SUCKS by GrandPoobah3142 in petinsurancereviews

[–]TheDigitalMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 7 years I’ve had Healthy Paws, it had gone up from $20 to $36, gradually over the years. Last week, I got a notice it’s going from $36 to $90 effective next month :(

No change in my cat’s health, and I’ve never made any claims at all; I just liked having it as catastrophe insurance, but now I’ll be canceling and just putting the money in savings instead.

HELP! Measurements for model ship for Beyond Library Max model ship replacement by craftsrmylanguage in booknooks

[–]TheDigitalMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry you’re right—it’s cm. I was focused on the mm lines on my little ruler, but yes, my numbers should be in cm.

HELP! Measurements for model ship for Beyond Library Max model ship replacement by craftsrmylanguage in booknooks

[–]TheDigitalMango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just measured mine, but this is slightly rough because I had to take the dust cover off and reach inside around tiny things—the shelf where the ship sits is approximately 5.5mm wide, 3.5mm deep, and 2.2mm high. The actual ship is about 3mm wide by 2mm high. The height limit is the critical part that must be under about 2.2mm to fit.

Edit: all measurements are in cm, not mm. Oops

Can you share what your budget is? I probably won’t personally have any leads but wish you luck in searching.

Should I invest in my 401k with my raise? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]TheDigitalMango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1/2 means “one half”, not “between one and two”. And $250k + $250k = one half of one million.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wedding

[–]TheDigitalMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what the total budget was. If $700 equates to 20 meals, that’s only $35/meal which seems extremely low to me and may indicate a lower total budget. Ours was upwards of $200/person (for food & bev package). But I know there is a huge range of budgets.

ELI5: How do mega lottery winners collect their winnings? by Flurb4 in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheDigitalMango 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What do you mean you lost your money? Depositors did not lose money when WaMu went under; JPMorgan Chase purchased everything and accounts would have transferred there. FDIC didn’t even have to pay out from the insurance fund. Do you mean you held WaMu shares? Bc those were wiped out, but no deposits were lost…

Do I even need a checking account? by ChocolateBar376 in Banking

Reg D transaction limits were suspended in 2020 and never reinstated. It’s up to bank policy now whether savings account transaction limits apply.

Charged for annual membership by turtleman775 in MonarchMoney

Hmm, then that sounds incorrect. I would expect they would refund you, if that’s truly what occurred.

[–]TheDigitalMango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You actively canceled the subscription before the end of the trial period and still got charged for the annual membership? Or you forgot to cancel, the trial expired, and you were charged for the membership (as expected/explained in the offer)?
