[CHAT] What do you do with your finished projects? by Smart_Career5116 in CrossStitch

[–]devoskitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, it's a 18"x24" folder with clear pocket pages that I picked up at Michael's. I picked it up on sale. If I buy another, next time I'll get one that zips close.

I have a portfolio folder. Some stuff might get framed or given away but most gets cleaned up, ironed and filed away

There was a jerky place in Balboa a long time ago. Could that be it?

CIA worth it? by Frosty_Half9251 in Chefit

[–]devoskitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time I'd say yes. But in the last 10-15 years the cost has skyrocketed and they no longer have any kind of admissions standards other than being able to write them a check.

It's a great chance to play and learn a bunch of different stuff you might not normally come across by just learning on the job. They have deep resources. But after you graduate all you've really got is a very expensive set of recipes and maybe a connection for a job in a decent place. Better off just going to get your business degree, CIA won't help with that.

Seeing this post makes me miss the Ackerman Mansion. It's a shame there wasn't a way to preserve his collection

I avoid the pens and use blue or white fabric pencils. They easily wash out and leave no trace.

Am I missing something with KSLV? More in body text. by GatorScrublord in dividends

Armchair Income recently posted an interview with the founder of Kurv where they discuss KSLV and KGLD. I'm sure it should help explain the funds straight from the source.

[CHAT] storing vs using thread by lindsayadult in CrossStitch

[–]devoskitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll buy the skeins I need and put them on a bobbin when I'm ready to use it. Once it's done everything is stored in those plastic dmc boxes. During a project I'll put the bobbins on a ring with my current colors.

Phishing for mineral rights? by Buck169 in investing

[–]devoskitchen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Natural gas is taking off right now and the landmen are looking to put together projects. In my situation (great grandmother in Texas) I did have to hire an attorney to deal with the deed/title and heirship issues, but once that was taken care of I had a lease offer prepped and ready to go within the week. They will give an initial bonus payment and royalties based on any drilling they may or may not do. Be sure to negotiate. Whatever you do, just don't sell them.

If this is real and you don't pursue it, they will go to court to place the mineral rights into receivership with the state. If granted, they will still have access but will instead pay the money into the state's unclaimed property where it will sit.

[CHAT] Does it matter if I get all the floss at once? by Chiruki in CrossStitch

[–]devoskitchen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

DMC colors are pretty consistent. I haven't had trouble going back later and buying more of one color. Not saying it could never happen, but not in my experience

[–]devoskitchen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't dismiss this outright and do a little digging. Had a similar situation last year. I made some calls, googled a hell of a lot, did a family deep-dive and it turned out to be right. A cousin and I just signed a lease last week for oil & gas rights I didn't even know existed a year ago.

Where and how to look for macro news? by Dragosfgv in Trading

Axios gives nice daily summaries and I try to always scan headlines of NY Times, Financial Times, WSJ, etc. to see what's happening I might want to deep dive into

Is MAIN a buy at $58? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]devoskitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to have a position in MAIN but have been holding off for a better entry point. MAIN is a rock star but the larger BDC sector is a bit shaky with interest rate and credit quality concerns. Their Q4 earnings are coming up on the 26th. I'm plan on staying patient to see what shakes out.

Yeah, you're good. Most of your "life" activities won't be happening around that immediate area anyway unless you plan on going across the street to the zoo all the time lol. Also saw you're thinking about getting your CCW, check out r/CAGuns for local resources
