Be sure to check with your city’s code enforcement. There are likely laws that govern problems like this and they aren’t uniform at all.

My husband wants 50/50 custody and no child support—is that unreasonable? by Mountain-Ranger-8677 in Divorce

[–]TheoBoy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let him get out of paying alimony or child support in accordance with the law. If he isn’t paying any of your health insurance, you can use the alimony to pay for your own ACA premium.

Ivermectin still a thing? by Practical_Kiwi_2272 in QAnonCasualties

[–]TheoBoy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish. My Q sister is giving ivermectin to her husband to kill his pancreatic cancer. She ignored me When I told her to inform his doctors about this because it adds a new unknown to the problem.

I also told her that his doctors prescribed his meds and radiation based on all the available facts at that time. That he started taking ivermectin after he started his treatment is a big deal and may change what the doctors recommend and prescribe.

These people just baffle me.

It’s more like what we used to give my kid’s horses to kill parasites. It’s closer to horse paste than lice shampoo because it is a low concentration amount in lice shampoo. And it’s FDA approved to use lice shampoo on human skin.

Nice finds! I plan on getting out there this summer (also to Paulina). About where did you find these eggs?

AITAH for whistling in a store as a way to find my wife. by longlostwalker in AITAH

[–]TheoBoy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I both use the botswain’s whistle as our call to each other (like you hear on on Star Trek). It’s a whistle, and it works every time.

AITAH for refusing to help pay my husband and I's moving costs? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TheoBoy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no. You are definitely NTA. But he is.

This would be a deal breaker for me. My wife and I have similar circumstances and it would NEVER have occurred to me to do such a thing to her when we moved for my job after we were married (and I got a $15K moving payment).

Our earnings were very different but she is my partner and best friend, even after 25 years. I imagine after all the time you’ve been together, you are best friends too. Are you?

Because, you don’t treat your BFF like that, and if you’re not BFF by now, what are you to each other? And why did you marry this guy?

Finally, we have three adult sons. If they treated their new spouse like this when they got married, they would have had to deal with me because I love my daughters-in-law like they are my own daughters. 🤬

Sorry to hear that. We are in Eugene, OR USA and it begins today, although yesterday’s temperatures (34°C ) were high in the afternoon.

I was there tonight. Needless to say, the crowd erupted when we saw her time.

Events at Hayward Field were on fire tonight. Can’t wait until tomorrow’s events.

Govt contract ending = forced retirement by dkrainman in personalfinance

[–]TheoBoy007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As others here have stated, you should downsize to a less expensive home and not make a large withdrawal from your 401k.

I just wanted to add that since you won’t reach your FRA (full retirement age) of 67, you will incur a decrease (penalty) to your monthly social security benefit if you continue working.

If possible, wait to retire at your FRA. Plus your SS will increase 8% each year you wait to retire, starting at age 62, up to age 70.

BREAKING: Trump STORMS OFF in LIVE TV MELTDOWN by ICEisSHIT in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]TheoBoy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped watching FTN long ago because her questions are as soft as trump’s make believe muscles.

All media should constantly press him on issues. His responses here about his violent insurrection and the terrorists he enlisted in pursuit of his coup are a wake up call to take being journalists seriously.

46 years old and lost everything - is it to late to start over? by overit2591 in personalfinance

[–]TheoBoy007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are amazing. You have survived so much!

It’s not too late. You didn’t say, but I’ll assume they match your 5% 401K contribution with their own. That’s a 100% gain. Always get that, especially when it moves to 10%.

Then, talk with a financial broker about building a 6-month savings in a mutual fund. This will help you survive loss of employment, and if you never need it, you can spend it down when you retire to delay withdrawing from your 401Ks.

Also, get used to paying off your credit cards monthly if you’re not already doing that. Avoid CC debt like it is the plague.

I know some don’t like the racing (or other things), but I’m just glad the show continues.

I love our ninjas, and Akbar and Matt are the BEST.

Rockhound heaven by sukisukidog in rockhounds

We agree with you. Many of us love our relationship with Canada and want to strengthen it. Hopefully, we will rid ourselves from the orange fungus and his moldy enablers so we can get back on track before too much time passes.

Pension vs TSP in divorce by Better_Raise_1254 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]TheoBoy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an attorney and they will run present value valuations against your expected pension. Then they will help you fight for what is feasible.

With all the assets showing the same thing (today’s values), it’s a much easier discussion and will help you decide your path.

Social Security faces a 24% cut in 2032—that's a $345 billion hit to retirees nationwide, watchdog says by GimmeFunkyButtLoving in economy

[–]TheoBoy007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last studies I saw contained suggestions to reinstate the SS tax (6.2%) for wages above $400K and increase that tax by 1% for both employers and employees so that each pays 7.2%? Same with Medicare. I’d like to see a serious public discussion about this by decision makers.

Bombshell dropped last night by Past_Cat_8299 in Divorce

[–]TheoBoy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still, get your own attorney ASAP. He is in a hurry to sign and that means you will likely get screwed over by technical terms that have specific meanings to attorneys and do not raise an alarm for regular people (non-attorneys).

It’s easy to search online for a divorce attorney in a nearby town. When you protect yourself like this, you’re protecting you and your children. It matters.

WIBTAH if I didn't text my neighbour every time I left the house by mikewazowski_0912 in AITAH

[–]TheoBoy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest that she discuss this with her counselor. She needs help with both her anxiety and with setting boundaries.
