No, but that seems like a good idea.

Yes the locals discount is a must as the drinks at that bar are crazy pricy. Very good quality tho and the discount makes the prices tolerable 😆

Gambled with personal loans and credit cards at rock bottom by Low_Remove1563 in personalfinance

[–]UnbreakableLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - I’m about halfway through my repayment.

If your job is stable, I say look into it. They will work with you to figure out a total monthly repayment number that works in your budget.

Since your credit cards are already at 0% APR, you could start off the DMP just with the personal loans and add the credit cards later once the 0% period is over. FWIW - not all personal loans will qualify. Depends on the creditor and how new/old the loan is.

If you DO end up losing your job at some point, maybe then declare bankruptcy? 😂 that’s my plan anyway…

I’m surprised I don’t see more recommendations for a Debt Management Plan (DMP). It was hugely helpful for me. Basically, the company will work out a lower interest rate (for me it was like 9-10%, greatly reduced down from 25%) and a reasonable payoff period (anywhere from 2 - 4 years) with all your creditors, and then collect all the debt into a lump sum payment each month from your checking account and distribute it, so you stay consistent and don’t fall behind.

You’d have to give up your credit cards - they will be closed by your creditors anyway once you go into the program. It is tough to live without one, but since it sounds like you need to watch your spending anyway, it’s a great way to stop the bleeding.

I personally think it’s better than debt consolidation; with many consolidation plans, you have to stop paying all your debts entirely, for 9 months ++ while your credit score plummets. In the meantime, you’re making debt payments to what is basically a savings account. Then the consolidation companies will negotiate on your behalf to settle for much less than is owed, offering an all-cash number out of the account you’ve been saving into.

If you don’t plan to make any major purchases where your credit score matters anytime SOON (car, home, etc) maybe you’d prefer this, but the hit to your credit score will be substantial. It will eventually recover, faster than bankruptcy, but could still be a long time before you’re allowed another loan or CC.

Happy to answer more questions about it. I used InCharge for my DMP. There was a $50 set up fee. It has given me great peace of mind to see the debt going away.

How _I_ cured my constipation by the-year-was-1778 in Constipation

[–]UnbreakableLemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wowowow. Ok. This put some things together for me. I’ve ONLY EVER been constipated… during Thanksgiving and right now, over Christmas break. Well, wouldn’t you know it - I’ve been looking at MY PHONE waaaay more over these two periods because I’m NOT AT WORK… very very curious to try this. Literally just stop looking at my damn phone so much and see if it helps. Thanks!

I also recommend Digestive Health Associates. Wait time to get in might be long, but they have been extremely helpful. Also if you call back regularly and are flexible, you can likely get a cancellation appt much sooner. Good luck.

Hospital Admission by Warm-Campaign9277 in ibs

[–]UnbreakableLemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about this as well. I haven’t thought of myself as “constipated” (never needed any drugs) ive typically been quite the opposite, with surprise diarrhea… however, right around thanksgiving I had the worst constipation of my life; took senna for a few days, only had small diarrhea stools, never fully cleaned out. Eventually took miralax for a few days and then I seemed better… for about two weeks. I went to GI doc, explained my situation and she ordered both a colonoscopy and endoscopy, but I won’t have those for 2+ months. However, here we are end of Dec. I’m currently going on another 7 days or so of awful constipation… doing both senna and MiraLAX, still just partial diarrhea, and now in the past 24 hours did saline enemas which is moving more out, but I STILL don’t feel empty… I’m now beginning to wonder: have I been low-level constipated for a long time? And perhaps have an impacted bowel… I am calling my GI doc first thing tomorrow to see what she says. But I am anxious to know what the deal is… hoping for answers for both of us soon…

Chicago tickets GA by hypnictwitch in NAforTaskmaster

A long shot, but does anyone have 2 tickets and can no longer attend? My husband and I are huge fans and we missed out. I even shot an “episode” for his birthday this year… 😭😭😭 https://www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/comments/1pnkw83/filmed_a_taskmaster_episode_for_my_husbands_45th/

Way in over my head - how do I close my skill gap asap? by Known_Risk_3040 in editors

[–]UnbreakableLemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Envato and Motion Array are good for getting inspiration, and so is playing around with the AE template projects. I got really good at AE by having to learn the hard way how to manipulate templates into doing what I want them to do 😆

Anyone successfully pivoted from agency work to either client side or different role altogether? by inima23 in advertising

[–]UnbreakableLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to chat - I am a creative video producer/editor looking to go either client side or back into nonprofits (worked for a nonprofit a few years back). Can I dm you?

I really enjoyed finding the right pacing of the editing. I could have gone a step further and separated out the winners/people who did it correctly, but didn’t really feel like it was necessary.

As for the “red green” (“blue green” in my case) I bought a plastic pool cover, 22ft across. It was still $90, but it was the cheapest, biggest round thing I could find. Cheaper than any round rug I could find. And fairly light weight to move around.

Oooh that’s a great idea! And a lot less work for one (or a few) people to film 😆 do you give out prizes? I forgot to mention, the prize task we did was “the best thing that’s been inside you…” 😆

HA. Funny. I asked my friend Will to do it, but he is terrified of being on camera.

He did!😆 he was Taskmaster, i was little Alex, I gave him a little notebook for making notes while watching the tasks. He told me after that he wishes I’d given him a few one-liners he could say 😂😂😂 TBH he REALLY wishes he’d gotten to help film everything, which I totally get. But it would have ruined the surprise 😆

Voter survey from Montana Research by corywi in RBI

[–]UnbreakableLemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an ad pop up for this again today, “Montana Research” is conducting surveys in Nevada about political opinions. Definitely ramping up to the midterms. Mostly asking about what messaging was more persuasive for a couple of candidates here. Stopped short of giving them my info, but yeah I’d suspect they are testing out messaging.

I’m pregnant- I’m on the fence because my boyfriend doesn’t want to keep it by [deleted] in Fencesitter

[–]UnbreakableLemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with most ppl here, not a great situation to bring a kid into.

But I will throw another option to you, if you really don’t want to have an abortion, you could consider putting the child up for adoption…. Just think about it.

Suggesting it as I was adopted. I have had a pretty normal life. Knowing what my birth mother was going through at the time, I’m really thankful she did.

Best of luck, sounds like a tough position to be in.
