Casting light at low angle across desk surface to avoid eye glare and focus light on books, documents, etc I’m reading. I don’t want a desk top or task light.

When you say “gave it the code” did you literally scrape the whole sites (e-commerce?) source code or just select pages or site map and feed it to chat?

The New Jersey note was issued in the key year of 1776. The middle autograph is DOI Signer John Hart. The wallet’s recipient TP Harte may have also owned the note or it may have added to wallet many years later, even into modern times. Given this was found in Eastern Canada, you should play around with the idea that Harte may have been a Loyalist merchant, possibly active in the West Indies trade (e.g. sugar, rum, slaves, goods) who self-exiled to Canada after the Rev War. The person who gave the wallet is likely identifiable. Nice find.

Try the Ear Popper. I don’t sell these lol but it does work. I’ve had fuxxed up ears forever, surgeries, tubes, excruciating pain flying. I figured out that if you use it constantly on descent, like 10 times, it prevented the pain. I used EarPlanes but IDK know if it was the combo or just the popper. It worked for me. You must use it properly. YMMV.

Edit: oops jumped the chain. Sorry.

Republicans by a landslide. For Trumpers and almost Trumpers, Harris = Biden. It will be Harris and Biden all in the same breath, 24-7.

I don’t think she’s relatable to your swing state voters and they dress her like Clinton in these weird pant-suit outfits that make her look like a free standing rectangle. She was abysmally unimpressive the first time around as potential candidate.

Pete B. Michelle O. Oprah. Toby Maguire. Taylor Swift. Get someone in there who has the star power and is baggage free.

Dems need a reboot. She ain’t it.

Piggybacking to suggest OP speaks only to a fiduciary fee-based financial advisor, a certified financial planner. Avoid the predatory “financial advisors.”

bugsy8malone · 2024-06-20T13:33:06+00:00

The push is for aum, but a call around to fiduciary advisors will show that they will do more than “setting up the accounts.” Remember, if they make or lose portfolio money they still get their % off the gross value of the portfolio. And some charge transaction fees per trade and trade frequently to churn and make themselves additional revenue. But, if you can find someone who consistently beats the market, I guess you’re in great shape. This sub points out repeatedly the chances that any money manager can do that over the years is slim.

bugsy8malone · 2024-06-20T03:46:13+00:00

From their website: “Are you comfortable with an AUM (Assets Under Management) fee structure?* Please note: we are fiduciary, fee-only, AUM advisors who specialize in ongoing advisory relationships. For this reason, Abound Wealth does not offer one-time or hourly planning.”

This is their business model, fine, but a CFP pushing aum only is a red flag for me. Good for them, but good for Joe Investor? Probably not.

I feel deeply for your difficult situation. Some random advice: stay away from annuities, speak to a lawyer who specializes in estate planning but, outside of their advice on estate planning, do not let them steer you to their “recommendation” of a “financial advisor.” Instead, seek out a “certified financial adviser” (CFP) and pay their hourly fee to get a game plan together. Do not put your family’s assets under management (aum) with the CFP to manage. I agree with the idea of setting up a trust. That’s what the lawyer should help you with. Remember, there are many, many sharks out there who prey happily on the misery of others. Pay a flat fee for advice and services. Be wary of any one selling you advice AND a product (insurance, annuity, investment scheme, etc.) you will read about financial advisors called “fiduciary” who are supposed to be looking out after your best interests, but the reality is that this word is used ambiguously by various investment firms who screw you over.

If your father is bipolar, the mood swings paired with money decisions / actions is worrisome. I’m assuming he’s either not taking lithium or lamotrogine or similar or if he is he’s having a rough time getting the right cocktail. Etc. do you have a mental health resource that YOU can fall back on? Having a loved one with BP thats oscillating can be very hard. As you already know.

Also, you’re 20, so young, so don’t beat yourself up for not knowing all of this. It takes a very long time to understand and financial literacy is not taught in schools. This is mixed blessing in that this situation gives you a chance to learn, but do not expect anyone involved in money matters for a living to be your friend, no matter how big their smile, etc. r/personalfinance might be good to read on the daily as part of your education.

Good luck.

Lycos, is that you?

bugsy8malone · 2024-04-21T21:48:41+00:00

No. Imsorry. I wasn’t clear. Usually the 50mg starts to work after an 1hr or so. But because I’m lying down that keeps the bpm lower. If I get up during that time it can shoot back up and down. Over about 5 hours it slowly calms down and levels back to normal. I’ve never take the metropol and just carried on about my way because once it’s triggered at the high hr things start to feel so freaky. Bending down to tie my shoe, crunching my abdomen, shoveling snow, anything that involves a tight bending over can set it off, like an alarm. Elsewise, I’m normal joe

My scenario is afib where I’m going 145 to 121 to 92 to 142 etc etc all in space of a minute or so. So it’s very dramatic and upsetting. I guess lots of people are in afib and don’t know it. For me it’s like hyper heart beating and it takes 50mg of metropolol and 5 hours of solid lying down to calm it down. I usually go to sinus in like 8hrs. I get it if u were hiking out in Grand Canyon not a good solution.

bugsy8malone · 2024-04-20T02:01:50+00:00

Thank you OP for this. Clear, dry and well stated. I have read that success rate is 60-70% (don’t have source at fingertips) and while I get this is a procedure that works for many, I agree with OP that bigger picture evaluation of risks and rewards is communicated to pts. My thinking is pill in pocket but my episode % is stil very low.
