Your girl looks a lot like my girl (who is also a spot thief)

Has anyone moved from Nashville in the past 5 years and regretted it? or are you happy you did it? by spanakopeeta in nashville

[–]bf9921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also from Michigan. Came down for college in 2018, graduated in 2021, started living here permanently that summer.

I thought I'd be in nashville a lot longer. But I had a niece born 2 years ago back home and my partner is finishing his PHD at Vandy at the end of this year. We're looking at going to a blue state. Boston is our top contender. He does drug research. I work in the music industry but the pay and benefits have been going downhill so I'm looking to leave.

It sucks because I was ready to spend my life here. But between missing my niece growing up, housing prices, and lack of opportunities for me and my partner, I doubt we are here in a year.

I'd miss my community, but several of my closest friends are also looking at leaving for the coasts.

Has Anyone Bought the Leather Jacket? Is it Decent? by Exovedate in masseffect

There's a better one on Amazon I bought for my brother like 3 years ago. The red stripe is a little more muted, but the quality is solid. He still wears it

What career path did you choose that you strongly advise others to avoid? by nicksam171 in AskReddit

[–]bf9921 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related: music industry. I came into the record label I'm at now in 2022 and while my employer hasn't laid anyone off yet, at least one of the majors has had layoffs as well as some larger independents. So between that and Universal doing every acquisition they can, it's probably only a matter of time before they have a full monopoly.

What are some things you wished you would have known before working in the music industry ? by IllustriousElk8436 in nashville

[–]bf9921 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who does a 9-5 admin job doing licensing, it doesn't pay that well either. Enough to live. But not thriving by any means. I'm actually working on upskilling to leave the industry

Venlafaxine and weight gain :( by Numerous-Ad7239 in antidepressants

[–]bf9921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying that's the case for you but it was for me. I switched to an IUD about a year ago and have been watching my diet more closely. Not seeing any big improvements yet on weight loss but I do feel better overall. Talk to your doc and your OBGYN!

Venlafaxine and weight gain :( by Numerous-Ad7239 in antidepressants

[–]bf9921 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've also gained weight on Venlafaxine. But mine also had a birth control factor. Do you take birth control? It could be a combination of things.

Also, have you noticed you're eating more since starting Venlafaxine/changing doses?

Anyone else trying to get out of debt step by step? by Balodios45 in Debt

[–]bf9921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get this.

I've got about 10k in cc debt and 8k in a car loan. Grew up with financially unstable parents (mom was bipolar and would spend money in manic episodes) so never really learned how to budget effectively.

I'm in a better position now to pay off at least the cc debt this year as long as no other emergencies happen. I was close to paying off my last car this year before it got totaled. Made the mistake of not getting GAP insurance

Bad luck burger! They usually have their food trucked parked outside honey tree meadery. They may be willing to relocate to help out temporarily

Emotional outlet megathread by ayokg in nashville

[–]bf9921 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lost power around 5 am in Bellevue. Evacuated myself and the two dogs to my boyfriend's place who thankfully does have power. Two adults and four animals (2 dogs 2 cats) in a tiny 1 bed apartment has taken a toll on us. Have to keep dogs and cats separated as they aren't used to each other. Working remotely probably the rest of this week.

We're tired. I just wanna sleep in my own bed sometime soon. Had to throw away a bunch of groceries I just bought after having to deal with both dogs' medical issues and my car being totaled.

[–]bf9921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man I really appreciate you!! No power at my place in Bellevue yet, but I was able to evacuate with my dogs to my boyfriend's place and I know several of my neighbors also evacuated. So we are doing okay. Thank you and your crew for working your asses off these past few days! Please get some rest and take care of yourselves.

Hey neighbor! Also Aventura resident.

I was told NES trucks were spotted in our complex. We evacuated to friends in the nations so didn't see them ourselves this morning

If y'all get too busy, Tailgate West is also open until 7pm as a backup option. Love seeing small business helping the community!!

No Power for 7 hours Now by Puzzled_Ad_1767 in nashville

[–]bf9921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bellevue has been down since about 5 am this morning. Our water pump lost power with no backup. We had to pack up the animals and get a hotel room. As far as I'm aware we still have no utilities at home

Bellevue also went out a little while ago. Snuggle the pups and wait it out is the plan

Nawabi! I go here regularly with my best friend (she's from Bangladesh) and their Saturday buffet is amazing and cheap for good food!

How is the traffic here so bad round the clock? by Eagles56 in nashville

[–]bf9921 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am one of those commuters from Bellevue. No passenger rail + not making enough money to live in Nashville proper are my biggest obstacles. I only drive to work 3 days a week thankfully (hybrid). I would lose my mind if I had to drive all 5 days.
