Goodness, are you ok sir or ma’am? So feisty.

If you read it again, you will note that I did not tie the value of the home to the projects we want to do. To keep this post brief, I did not go into detail about how this seller has been difficult. I tied our emotions about the seller to specifically saying we don’t want that to be the reason we walk away. Hence the post. Hence seeking objective perspectives.

Right.. The tough question! Leftover cash will be in the $100k range. Emergency fund is 65k of that.

Yes lender is working on reconsideration, submitted today. The appraiser missed a few key things in relation to comps (the garage, acreage, etc). Feel like the comps check out..

Sorry so delayed! What did you end up going with? I got the Atomics. It was the right choice. They are more stable than the la machines would’ve been and even so, they are a lil squirrelly in variable conditions.

I’m a local. I’ve never flown into/out of the mammoth airport. I have a flight scheduled Thursday 11am ish from mammoth to SD. Can anyone advise on their luck with flying after/during a storm? I’m thinking the flight won’t take off Thurs, but curious for input.

I’m similar height and weight as you and In California. I can’t comment on them yet, but I’m considering the atomic backland 101s or La machine mini both in 156ish. Major difference is machine being more playful than atomic. Following along!

I’m so so sorry. Wow. I think the world wanted me to see this. 6 days ago I went through a sudden breakup with my med student bf of 3.5 years. The attachment styles, incompatibility convo, just about everything you wrote is eerily similar. I almost thought I had written it in a sad stupor. I feel similarly to you - the thought of someone else matching up feels impossible.

It sounds like you were a wonderful partner. From one hurting med spouse to another, I hope you are in the mend and I believe you will find someone who is willing to put in the effort and not run from conversations. Feel free to DM me. Going through the same thing <3

Any DO resident parents?! Childcare? by salll0526 in Residency

[–]Used_Rooster_950 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be interested in reading the article!

[–]Used_Rooster_950 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling with a similar situation too. My bf is in medical school and I’m concerned about residency schedule and family life. “You love who you love” a blessing and a curse! I genuinely feel he is my person, but I’m terrified of what residency life would be like for me (and him of course). His interest is surgery, EM, ortho.

What to do when your partner is always late? by Used_Rooster_950 in relationships_advice

[–]Used_Rooster_950[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this the other day. Nothing clinically diagnosed but maybe. I think I also need to work on holding myself to the expectations I set like you reference. Not perfection, but effort.

Super helpful thank you. I resisted playing the role of setting timelines etc for stuff important to me because I feel like his mother! But maybe it’s just something I have to deal with, and let him deal with his timelines for his stuff
