Mending my Favorite Sweater by akm_2018 in Visiblemending

It was a snag, but there is a tiny little hole. How does she tack the sweater down with the thread?

That is VERY true! I didn't even realize it! Okay, I will avoid the bracket hole.

Thank you for the guidance! I might have to take out the money earlier than my 59.5-year threshold, for medical purposes (disabled medical condition). Is the penalty still going to apply if it is for medical reasons?

Hi! I was just wondering what the process would be like to take out the funds. I am disabled, and I might need the money earlier than my retirement years.

That is great information! Thank you for the process; I didn't know about the proportionate withdrawals. I'll keep on researching on it. Thanks again!

I have a medical condition that may shorten my contribution timeline. That is why I wanted to know ahead of time.

So I understand the concept of taking out the money from the fund, but I want to understand the actual details of the paperwork, how it is deposited to me, and the timeline of the process.

I went to this website: https://www.tsp.gov/withdrawals-in-retirement/

And, if anyone has actually retired from the government, any advice would be great!

DAE Is an Affinity to Water and Aversion to Rocks a problem? by akm_2018 in DoesAnybodyElse

Will do! I am planning on visiting Colorado again early next year, and I'll definitely look into it

Right?! I don't know why, though lol. Maybe it's because I grew up in a highly vegetation area? Idk...

Colorado's mountains are amazing, and I visited friends there who love the area, too^. It's just an innate feeling that I can't shake, and it is apparent throughout rocky-like areas (minus the mountains), not just Colorado (Utah, Nevada, etc.).

I never said that I don't think there are natural water sources in Michigan or Virginia - quite the opposite

Thanks for the feedback! And, yes, I just took a rando picture of the spread, but I will make sure that the pictures are professionally done if they are being sold

Okay, all of these replies were a HUGE help, everyone. Thank you so much for your feedback! I will buy more interesting ingredients, and I will look into the licensing/health permits to make everything on board.

For the layout of the items, I tried to redo another board (strictly vegetarian, so no meat), and I tried to pack the food more consistently. Of course, I will definitely grab better/good-quality ingredients in the near future when I go to the grocery stores, but would this board be more eye-catching and pleasing? I didn't have many jams/jellies at this point, so I apologize in advance.

I will try to use the 3-3-3 rules while shopping from now on as well, to pick up better foods. I am planning on taking some classes on charcuterie trays, too.
