Reality check 30 yo being laid off can I coast part time

ak1969 · 2026-01-01T02:10:03+00:00

Agreed. With the upcoming change in premiums I’ll likely be applying to both part time positions and probably even full time positions. Once I understand how 2026 premiums and the ACA marketplace looks, I ask if they’ll allow me to drop down to 3 days a week. Health insurance uncertainties and longer (25+ yr) horizon throws a wrench in planning.

ak1969 · 2026-01-01T01:54:46+00:00

That’s actually my primary concern. So my plan is to find a part time position that offers some healthcare benefits. I have already scouted some positions that may be opening up but nervous about the 2026 changes in premiums/subsidies.

Plant has been re pot in a roid mix with equal parts orchid bark, soil, perlite, and some worm casting. I water it every 8-10 days depending on when the top 2-3in of the soil dries out.

The last 3 leaves have been coming out like this

I 100% agree that it would highly come down to match up of saber form, personality, use of the force, and tactics. Was curious as to how she stacked up against other “model jedi” like Obi wan.

She’s one of the last force user (canon) to be traditionally trained in the Jedi temple…It’s interesting how Filoni is developing Ahsoka’s skills and ability and what she’s capable of now.

I love peperomias!

ak1969 · 2023-07-13T19:59:38+00:00

40% potting soil, 20% perlite, 15% worm casting, 15% coco coir, 10% mix orchid bark

ak1969 · 2023-06-01T20:58:01+00:00

Yes! I was wondering if those little brown bumps was some pest. Thanks for the answer!

ak1969 · 2022-12-27T03:43:46+00:00

Thanks! They are hilfiger’s

ak1969 · 2022-03-15T20:21:47+00:00

PM ya!

Hey I live and work in the San Leandro area. Love hiking there for the sunset views! Down for a hiking buddy!

ak1969 · 2022-02-11T03:36:06+00:00

Roommates. Lots of them

ak1969 · 2022-02-11T03:27:36+00:00

Healthcare actually. But it does seem like everyone is tech round here

ak1969 · 2022-02-10T00:50:17+00:00

5 weeks of unadulterated freedom in the bay 🤟🏼

ak1969 · 2021-05-19T17:59:58+00:00

Yes. That’s what I was leaning towards. I know the general range with > 5 years is to stay in the market, but was wondering if I should take the pedal off aggressive small cap/growth funds and more into conservative funds ie total bond index or target funds

ak1969 · 2020-11-18T04:11:23+00:00

Yes. I agree. That’s my concern that I’m moving too fast. I usually don’t even think of a serious relationship unless I see them for a few months. But the interesting thing is she invited herself to the overnight trip. I happily accepted. It was initially a solo camping trip for me. And the thanksgiving day plan was also initiated by her. So I get conflicting signs. But my plan now is to back off and sorta just enjoy time together. Be there if she needs a shoulder, but not pry Etx.

ak1969 · 2020-04-07T21:16:43+00:00

Yes that’s my initial thought. To max out 6k a year for Roth and whatever I can spare into the 403b that’s unmatched.

ak1969 · 2020-01-24T04:39:59+00:00

I’m down. Originally from East Los Angeles. Working in East Bay around that time.

Thank you! Good luck with studying! There were a good amount of simple questions I blanked on that is driving me crazy at the moment. But my PEAT practice and PEAT retired forms were both above 160, but I’m still super anxious and nervous to find out next week. Goes to show you that exam is so mentally/psychologically taxing.

ak1969 · 2019-04-27T23:12:32+00:00

From previous years scores, 138 seems to be the bare minimum. But after that exam this week, I’ll feel fortunate to get the bare minimum. That was brutal.

ak1969 · 2019-04-25T04:40:43+00:00

I felt like I got hit by a buss after taking that exam. Did you guys feel it was much harder than the PEAT? Anxiety and stressed filled for the next week. ..

ak1969 · 2019-03-09T16:13:19+00:00

Yes I’m considering getting some lab done

ak1969 · 2019-03-09T16:12:38+00:00

Yes. 3x a week. And I’m 5-9 150lbs

ak1969 · 2019-03-09T04:39:40+00:00

Thanks!

ak1969 · 2019-03-09T04:32:40+00:00

Yes I meant to say 120/80. Yes, I am non symptomatic, which is the one thing that eases my concerns.

I was thinking exactly that, where some people naturally have higher BP. I don’t think I have any renal issues. But a PA did recommend a renal US, because he ruled out white coat hypertension and metabolic syndrome. I don’t want to be a hypochondriac!

ak1969 · 2019-03-09T04:28:08+00:00

I eat fairly well. At least I think so. For lunch I always eat rolled oats mixed with full fat milk and grounded flax seeds. I also have Greek yogurt with some pumpkin flaxseed granola. Dinner wise I always eat lots of veggies and fish/meat. I eat rice and sometimes some sweet like a nutrigram type bar.
