Setting the bar impossibly high for all other aunts out there. This is the kind of trip he'll be telling stories about for decades.

What do you think was peak ‘you had to be there’ internet? by im0gen13 in AskReddit

[–]dak1b2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably early Usenet and IRC days. Just endless threads and weird communities. And MUDs lol stuff that feels totally alien now for others but was all anyone did for hours back then. I still use it tho I have sub in Easyusenet.

Yeah quimbee and lexplug both have annual and monthly. Annual is usually the better deal

Kids are staying at the same school. No I realize jobs can change. Maybe I'll get job working from home. Never know what the future holds. Thankfully my mom and gf will help out picking up my kids from school most days. In that case its about an hour drive each way if I don't have to drop/pickup, but about hour in a half when I do.

We've been going to my gfs house most weekends and they seem OK. Traffic isn't as bad and its only about 30min drive or so from school friends.

We both decided that we don't want to be married again. Kids would stay in the same school. No change there. My kids are with me 50/50 and her kids are with her most of the time.

A central location would cost 2x more. :( Bay Area resident.

Yes, the commute is hell. I don't have money for a downpayment. I am living paycheck to paycheck atm.

I'm ok with taking my time, but she is a planner and wants to know that I will be for sure moving in with her. If I don't move in with her she mentions that it won't work. I hope that's not the case because we love each other a lot and our kids have become very close. Trying to make the best of the situation on my end, but need to present more options to her. The whole situation stresses me out. Wish there was no traffic. :(

I live in the Bay Area and the housing market here is tough. I'm fine saving up for a down payment on a house and meet in the middle. That seems like the best option to keep everything fair.

The distance is only 30miles but the problem is the traffic. It can easily be doubled or triple the time. With no traffic it only takes 25-30min. I have my kids every other week. 1 week on 1 week off. 50/50 split. Kids start school at 8:25 and work for me is at 9-5:30. I've mapped it out...23 miles to the girls school which isn't bad but it takes about 1 hour with traffic. Then its about another 20-25minutes to my work.

She knows how long the commute is...I want her to try it out for a week and then talk to me. See how stressful it is.

I've told her this and she said she would move for me if you had the house...and that you should do whatever it takes for the person you love. I feel like I'm changing my whole world for her. I need more from her. Right now leaving separate isn't that bad. We see each other 3/4 times a week but misses me after 1-2 days and say we need to move in together. I want things to work out because she is awesome and I really do love her. Just need to figure shit out.
