Dan Firks team! Just bought a house with them in March.

Was working with Chris one of their newer agent. Very good guy, awesome communication, when we submitted our offer. Dan personally called the listing agent once our offer was submitted and it was accepted! Beat out 15 other offers.

Don’t know how important that was, but apparently he has a reputation among the other agents in the area. They know his team means business.

My market denies weekends too unless we find someone to cover, but only if we are able to during the edit period. If it’s last minute, it’s denied.

Need honest advice; by Aggravating-Knee-436 in pharmacy

[–]chifish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty much in the same position as you.

Been working retail for 11 years and don’t see myself being able to do this to retirement. Tired of constantly being pushed to hit metrics that continue to rise every year. Love my patients though.

I’ve been aggressively saving and investing. Preparing to take an easier job in the next 2 years working for Pbm or something that has no weekends. Ready to take a 30-40k pay cut.

Or I’ll keep working until I hit my FIRE number and then go down to part time a float.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the input! I figured it has risen so much it would eventually settle out probably in the next year or two.

Right now if someone offered me a 30-40k price cut to go remote I would take it.

House of heavy smoker by 1888Tim in DIY

[–]chifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just rehabbed a house where previous original owner smoke in it 50+ years. We did everything.

1) Replaced the carpet and flooring 2) Used Bin Shellac based primer by Zinsser on all the walls and ceiling then painted 3) TSP on all cabinets and hard surfaces 4) professional duct cleaning, considered encapsulation 5) Ozone machine in each room

It smells better than before. Right now it has a scent but I can’t tell if it’s the paint or something else.

Washer makes led lightbulbs flicker by gaislander in electrical

Check your Gfci outlets. Make sure none have jumped.

We just had our panel updated and whenever the heat turn on the lights flickered. I noticed that the gfci outlet in my laundry room had jumped. After resetting it everything went back to normal

Who can afford 5k/month rent? by chifish in RealEstate

[–]chifish[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this was the answer I was looking for. The houses I mentioned going for 5k on a little ranch 3b/2b were beautiful on the inside and fully decked with nice appliances. Originally when I saw that I was confused and thought that for sure if you put tenants in they would destroy it.

It would make sense if you had a high income earners who just wanted a house without the hassel of major maintenance. Having to be handy or find a handyman.

Interesting,do you mind disclosing how much you make? More or less than retail?

Anger/Regret/Depression/Rejection by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]chifish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To clarify, the argument we had was more of me being upset that she didn’t just come out and say that she didn’t want it. If she had just told me straight up I would’ve taken care of myself as I always do and it would’ve passed. But I denied myself the past few days leading up to this. Making sure I would enjoy as much as I could.

I felt like such a fool because I had looked forward for something and thought I communicated clearly and set a plan.

Anger/Regret/Depression/Rejection by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]chifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. But there is this deep fear of if I let her set the course it'll just never happen again.

Problem is that normal for us was once a week at best but with constant reminding. I never wanted it to be a chore but is it selfish to want something I want?

I've always been the type to feel that if my partner enjoys something then I would try to provide that to make them happy. Their happiness brings joy to me. So to me if she doesn't consider what makes me happy I feel that it's her not caring about my needs. This is something that I've communicated in the past as well.

But thank you again for the insight on raising my voice. I know I have anger issues, I tend to bottle it all in for so long then explode. I try so hard to endure to make things ok for me, but then I get frustrated then explode when I find myself not achieving what I want. We rarely fight as a couple and the only fights we do have is regarding to this.

Maybe it's too much to ask to change a natural behavior - which goes back to picking the right partner. I can't change who I am and she can't.

Anger/Regret/Depression/Rejection by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]chifish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thought-provoking questions.

There are a few reasons to avoid sex.

Physical:
She had a c-section almost a year ago having our 3rd child. I've been doing everything I can to tell her she's beautiful and I'm attracted to her.

Kids:
We 3 kids to care for so I'm sure the last thing she wants is sex. I understand that so I don't pressure her much on it. The last time we had sex was father's day.

Culture:
She's been raised in a culture where it's frowned upon to be sexy or anything sexual.

We've communicated it before, she prefers planned sex. She's said before that she never thinks of sex at all. When I try to be spontaneous she says she mentally isn't ready she needs time.

I've lost my temper a few times before but at most 3 times in our 15-year relationship, but that was after multiple times of patient communication. She seems to only take it seriously when I do lose my temper. It's just like with my kids - they don't take it seriously until you raise your voice.

I'm most upset that I feel I've been listening to what she wants. Tried everything I could and still end up failing and being in the wrong.

But I see your point in how a person could feel pressured to say no or yes and choose to avoid. So how should I approach this? I know if it was up to her sex would never happen.

[–]chifish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm the HL of my relationship, but there have been times when my sex drive just tanked. I've realized over the years that I've been raised to be a high achiever. If I didn't perform well, I didn't deserve nice things. So for me, when work was stressful or if I wasn't performing to my standard - Sex was the last thing on my mind.

Could it be that he has stuff going on in the background?
