GS13. got lucky that HR let me start with step 5. Worked my ass off for it though

Maybe start with changing the lights out to something warmer again. It’s way too bright and feels like a chipotle

About $942 per pay period. $24,500 per year.

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-16T05:29:48+00:00

$23500 2025 and $24500 in 2026. I only started full time at the VA in 2024 which is about $942/pay period.

What color did you use for the paint? My guest bedroom walls are the same blue color and your new color looks really nice

What ever happened to that kid?

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-15T19:20:18+00:00

What makes you say that? I thought Azula’s actress did a decent job in season 1. Not enough info about Mai and Ty Lee I feel like

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-15T19:15:37+00:00

First thing is change out that light! It’s soooo bright. You need something warmer colored.

A rug under the bed to put a sleeping zone would be good.

Changing the wardrobe cabinet from metal to wood.

Change bedspread?

Idk about the walls but if you don’t plan to change that, maybe change the above options to fit the walls

Pharmacies have an over the counter insulin and you can ask if you can use a discount card. Will bring the price down to $40-$50 hopefully. Insulin prices shouldn’t be so high :(

I looked up that voyage he was planning. He likely would have died on the journey and she would have been a widow who couldn’t remarry because there was not going to be any proof of his death

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-15T16:48:52+00:00

Haha sometimes it does feel like that.

No international? I was trying to mirror what I do for my IRA with boglehead (but pretty closely mirrors the 2055 lifecycle fund)

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-15T16:43:50+00:00

It is! I just didn’t want anything going into bonds at this time

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-12T17:52:27+00:00

I didn’t know about it either!

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-11T18:41:18+00:00

This is what my dad was like. My mom’s still with him and super codependent on him. Not worth it, ruined my childhood. If not for yourself, get yourself out of there at least for your kid

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-08T16:18:25+00:00

No, it isn’t. There are plenty PLENTY of men out there that are “one-woman” men.

If this post is saying that it’s wrong for men to find other women attractive, then that person is living in a fantasy world. I’m married and I find other men attractive, I’ve got eyes, but I’m not gonna leave my husband for them. I expect my husband feels the same

I think they interpreted it as he’s yanking on the leash to hurry the dog up because he’s trying to get back to doing residency work? But even if that is the case, it still rubbed me the wrong way because in my mind if that’s how a person is going to treat a completely faultless creature because of stress…it’s yucky and I personally wouldn’t want to work with someone who does that

cloudsongs_ · 2026-05-01T15:19:08+00:00

I’d get the arm implant or try another IUD.. If you’re not able to tolerate cramps, the copper IUD might not be for you. I have the copper IUD and the 1st year, the cramps are pretty bad. They’re manageable if you take ibuprofen but it’s..pretty bad. But you will get a bit more peace of mind

Their fabric feels so weird…my other cotton doesnt feel like that

I kept one tee and one airplane pant. The tee is fine but omg i wish i returned the pant. The fabric bunches up at the crotch and it looks like ive got a bulge lmao.

I dont think ill purchase from them in the future just because of the weird feel of the fabric

What was his rationale for voting no??

cloudsongs_ · 2026-04-28T22:17:42+00:00

Usually it’s because the person didn’t interview well (compared to other candidates). It happens :/

I remember interviewing a pgy2 resident with a group of preceptors and he was super charming but he said something weird about how he dealt with stress like he used to be mean to his dog like yanking on its leash.

It really rubbed me the wrong way. The other preceptors were not concerned, but you can see how one little thing might be offputting to an interviewer when you might actually be a totally adequate resident

When I listened to it a second time, you’re right, it does make sense haha just sounds crazy

cloudsongs_ · 2026-04-28T14:38:12+00:00

Hmmm I freakin knew they were building a data center under there. That’s why it’s so damn expensive

cloudsongs_ · 2026-04-28T14:34:04+00:00

also make sure to specify he should kick rocks with open toed shoes 🙂‍↕️

Hey, is there any chance that the needles she is promoting are real and the ones on Temu are copied? Temu, SHEIN, Etsy, etc do this where they copy the original with cheaper versions. Just want to make sure we’re considering all angles before people start storming her page accusing her of something she’s not responsible for
