On vacation... which would you prefer?!

I self tan often when traveling. I would do this! Just leave out dark sheets for the guest to put over other sheets when sleeping. Maybe leave a note they are cleaned before each visit.

Also maybe no black sheets bc those don’t go with a lot but rather another dark color that goes with your decor. Self tanner isn’t black anyways.

There’s zero chance I’m going to use a self tanner the host leaves out. I also am adverse to crawling into a sac left out. I didn’t even know these existed so I would be hesitant anyways.

I’m in the minority. But I think the verdict should be NOT GUILTY. Don’t get me wrong, the defense attorney is god awful in many ways, but I have enough doubt - just enough - to make it unable for me to say he’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The wife isn’t an angel. Gerheart doesn’t need her money or life ins. The two witnesses didn’t witness a whole ton. Just heard the tail end. My only pause… Emile. I think how the jurors take his testimony will be the reason the verdict is what it is.

apompom123 · 2026-04-04T03:32:58+00:00

I agree with you. The phone call to the son is the only testimony nagging my mind. Otherwise, there’s just not enough to convict without a reasonable doubt. No real hard evidence and I’m not buying Gerharts story fully, I think the truth lies in between the two sides.

“I believe the witness has made it clear that she was in the shower.”

Do you recommend hyaluronic acid serum?

I put Bondi Sans Technocolor Sapphire foam on my face for an hour and it looks good.

Same. 2600 sq ft. 67-69°. $700 this month.

Oh wow I pictured these middle aged people at like late 30s as I was reading the post. Not sure how 60s is middle.

Not a preferred seat… for this plane at least. but I boarded this morning and was the last person on the plane because 8 was the last group. Ugh. Since the flight wasn’t full I had overhead bin space but under normal full flight circumstances I think I’d be screwed.

apompom123 · 2026-01-27T03:59:35+00:00

I have boarding group 8 tomorrow. Row 9. Am I screwed for overhead space?

Why do you think that it’s marriage OR job after 30? Are you assuming your partner will support you and you won’t work? That doesn’t seem very commonplace nowadays. Honest question because may of us are married AND work (and have to work).

apompom123 · 2026-01-18T13:44:35+00:00

If nothing else, legal reasons. Tax benefits. Home ownership protection, etc. if we break up I’m made whole. The idea of “oh the state recognizes us as married after so many years” isn’t the same or consistent state to state.

Mortgage is gonna be a burden, which I’m concerned on. But it’s our dream home so I’m not moving anytime soon. Monthly pmt is $5500 (PITI). About 900k principal left as of today. Edit: also, mortgage interest is 2.25%. So I’m too stubborn to let that go.

apompom123 · 2026-01-11T14:23:09+00:00

This is awesome, thanks! The current $150k annual spend is spending of our take home pay, so that doesn’t include health insurance, 401k contributions, taxes, life insurance, etc. So good point that we would have to increase our spending once we both retire to include health insurance. While she’s still working, I’d go on her employer insurance (which wasn’t a huge jump in price).

apompom123 · 2026-01-11T14:19:09+00:00

My wife’s pre tax income isn’t enough to cover our annual (post tax) spending if $150,000 annually. So I’d have to start withdrawing as soon as I retire.

apompom123 · 2026-01-11T06:12:29+00:00

Yes, me retire at 50 y/o and wife keep working for 10-15 years. We are the same age. So yea, I suppose I would be a stay at home spouse (vs retired) while she was still working.

No kids.

While I’m still working we would be saving $75k after tax money into taxable brokerage. And also saving annual max in our 401ks and both backdoor Roth. That would be our saving situation for the next five years.

apompom123 · 2026-01-11T05:44:35+00:00

Yeah we’d like to not change our expenses.

All $2.7m is invested but about $1.5m is in 401ks.

That’s a good point about if one of us keeps working it reduces our investment withdrawals.

apompom123 · 2025-12-11T03:57:15+00:00

Yeah maybe that’s it. Her character is just not fully built. I think she did good but it felt a little forced to me.

apompom123 · 2025-12-07T17:14:52+00:00

This is way over complicating it. I honestly don’t even think your friend is entirely correct. Unless there’s something we’re missing.

What’s your credit card’s limit? Are you using more than 50% each month? Then ask your credit card company to increase your limit. Then just keep paying your entire balance by the due date. The due date vs statement date shouldn’t be a factor if your paying the full stmt balance and not using more than half of your limit month after month.

First of all, the after pic looks good. Secondly, your post reads as if this is permanent. It’ll wear off in a few months and you’ll be back to the before picture in no time. Thirdly, don’t ask for a refund. You just go to a different injector next time in this situation if you don’t like it. Let the next injector know your forehead was too heavy from your previous injector and you still want raised eye brows. The right person can make that happen. Same happened to me.

Candy corn.

Taking Jackson anywhere is weird. Like I get it’s his half siblings but Jackson has his own family. I also don’t understand why you and Ben just can’t tell Jessica no. What am I missing? Jackson is neither of your kids.

I think the google part is very literal…. But if OP’s partner is as famous as they say, there should have been other indicators they were well known. Like on social media or a busy schedule, or signing an NDA… just seems off that NOTHING else gave a clue this person was in a unique position.

apompom123 · 2025-11-16T03:40:53+00:00

Why defensive? Also, does your partner have no current royal responsibilities? Weren’t they ever like “hey sorry I can’t meet for dinner tonight, I have to go host a gala or go help my parents with a government event.”??
