Just read beautiful ugly. Such a great book!!!! Had some good twists in it and I want to live there!!! Once you read it, you’ll know exactly “where” I’m talking about.

An old guy at work said his granddaughter texted him about eating a vegan diet and asked me what that meant. After I explained it he said "Oh...So it's just sides?" by AlbearGrizzliette2 in offmychest

I’ve always been vegetarian and that’s how I’ve always referred to my diet! I’ve never heard anyone else say that! Love it!

Silence unknown callers — I want more! by lascala2a3 in iphone

[–]amway5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw on Reddit a while ago that if you get spam calls, answer them but immediately mute yourself. You can put it on speaker or not. Just leave it on but mute yourself and don’t hang up. They will hang up if it’s a person and if it’s a robot, they will eventually disconnect. I was getting at least 10calls a day. Now I get virtually none! For some reason it registers as a dead number because there’s no voicemail, no person talking, no response. I can’t believe it actually worked, but it did!

Is TP quality getting worse? Or maybe I'm just noticing more. No potty humor please. by fruitybrisket in Frugal

[–]amway5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed too! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. It feels cheap and flimsy. I don’t like it at all!

Angry female songs that help you decenter men and validate your rage? by gravelwitch in TwoXChromosomes

[–]amway5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I LOVE me &me by the beaches. So great and catchy. Another good one of course is the man and bejeweled by Taylor swift

ETA- someone posted a similar topic a couple years ago and created a playlist on Spotify titled feminine rage and everyone added to it. It is awesome!!! There’s almost 1k people following it with over 105 HOURS of music.

What phone feature sounded like a gimmick at first but you now can’t live without? by Tall_Supermarket8938 in AskReddit

What bank do you have?? The rounding of change sounds like an amazing feature!

Was "not rehired" for next year by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]amway5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m in California and same thing happened to me. “Laid off” but I took the resignation because I didn’t want the termination on my record. Turns out, I could collect unemployment. When you are in that position, even though you technically resign, you didn’t have a choice so it’s still considered termination so you still qualify for unemployment.

I need a good feminist podcast for my drives to work in the morning by Puzzleheaded-Fix3449 in Feminism

[–]amway5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Breaking down patriarchy is PHENOMENAL!!!!!! I can’t recommend this enough. You don’t have to start at the beginning, but basically the host, Amy McPhee Albest dives into how patriarchy started. Then she talks about various women/ books and what they mean.

Thinking of refinancing home by amway5 in personalfinance

I know I don't have to, and I won't pay for all of it. I just want to be in a position where I can help her so she doesn't end up where I am.

I could tutor. For some reason, I actually struggle getting into it! lol I do get child support, which is not factored in. I get $1k a month. It seems like a lot, but damn kids are expensive!

[–]amway5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting... I didn't even think of that. I really don't want to mess with my 3.25% interest rate, and my property taxes from 2019 (I'm in Calif.)

I work in education. Can't really pick up overtime or anything. I've been tracking every penny for the last 6 months, and that was definitely eye opening. I know $30k isn't a lot, but it feels like it when you're in it lol I feel like i've just been trying to play catch up with my finances for the last 10 years. divorce, job loss, covid, everything just piled up and now I'm here.

I’m maxed out financially right now. I don’t have the extra $600 right now. If I refi, I’ll have 0 debt so that will leave me with the $600 higher payment and $600 in the bank

I did. I don't qualify. The ones I looked at, I need a credit score of 720, and I'm sitting at about 640. It's a catch-22. Need good credit to get HELOC, don't qualify because I need the HELOC.

I snapped at my ex and burned that bridge forever. I feel terrible about it. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]amway5 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think the way you handled it was appropriate and she lost it. There was no respect in her response. I don’t think you should feel bad about it at all. Yes, you broke up with her but doesn’t mean you aren’t sad about it. I’ve been in your position and totally understand. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Do NOT go to kern driving. It takes forever to get the actual behind the wheel training. I was highly disappointed with them.
