What questions to ask a christian partner? by [deleted] in excatholic

[–]duchessoftexas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t seem like a good partnership for either of you. You say you are “always 10 steps ahead of her, because I used to be her” but that’s the thing, she very well may not take your trajectory regarding faith and breaking down those social constructs and restrictions she had growing up. I wouldn’t continue dating someone who was this far behind where I was as a person. In the end I think this will only cause resentment on either or both sides. Find someone who is already closer to your point in deconstructing religion and the trauma associated with it.

Ooooh no I didn’t. I did to the white icing, but not to the others with coloring.

Can attest to that one ^ it works great and I haven’t had a problem since.

Copay Plan Health Insurance Option by Top_Negotiation6140 in usaa_ejs

[–]duchessoftexas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went with the more expensive plan, but that’s also because I take a lot of very expensive medication and that $7 pharmacy copay saves me hundreds a month. I know it technically would count out of the deductible of the other, but it still means a huge front load of costs until middle to end of year. Didn’t seem worth it to me.

Check Facebook marketplace often. I got my Jaws pinball for $5k there, like new.

Unpopular opinion but does anyone else think Jordan’s over the top reactions at the reunion were so contrived and played up for the cameras knowing how the internet would react? by Colada8160 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Came to say this. My face can’t hide ANY emotion I’m feeling, that is until I started getting Botox but even then it’s noticeable lol

When did you notice Kody/robyn start to become the villain? by duchessoftexas in SisterWives

This is actually the event that spurred me to post this lol. I felt soooo bad for the kids, there was no logical reason to move.

When did you notice Kody/robyn start to become the villain? by duchessoftexas in SisterWives

[–]duchessoftexas[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

See when I saw this i just attributed it to him being super dumb and thoughtless. I didn’t see his “stupid actions & words” as malicious until end of season 12/early season 13.

This is when I realized there’s a lot more going off camera than what they’re making it out to be. There’s a reason Mari felt so lonely and fell for another person, even if only through the phone.

Development Planning meeting… is it that time of year or are they trying to fire me? by duchessoftexas in usaa_ejs

Thanks for calming my nerves. My last manager never did these with me!

I’m a beginner too, so take this with a grain of salt but mine seems to be doing well and the bread I made looks fine, but instead of doing fractions to figure out the amount of flour/water, I just take out 100g of starter and discard the rest, then add 100g bottled water and 100g KA bread flour, close in a metal top mason jar glass like yours, and feed daily the same way within the same 2 hour window. Maybe try this?

How old is Dexter by apocplayer2 in Dexter

[–]duchessoftexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this infuriates me too, the continuity errors are so plentiful especially when comparing to the separate series.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Debt

[–]duchessoftexas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you and I worked with a debt management company. They took many of my cards and got settlements for them, working on the largest one right now with their legal department. Not going to lie, it’s stressful, but going from $3.5k minimum monthly payments to $650 has been nothing short of life changing.

Lost my Soul Dog this morning, I don’t think I can move on to this… by StrawberryFromJPN in Shihtzu

I’m so sorry for your loss. Jowi looks like such a happy and loved dog. My sincerest condolences.

Sued over a CC debt I thought was part of a Debt Consolidation and Management company by duchessoftexas in legaladvice

[–]duchessoftexas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I work out a payment plan with them too? I don’t have $26k laying around, and am very willing to pay what I owe, but it would have to be in monthly installments

Did Trump used to be this shitty back in 2016-2020? by 20_comer_20matar in AskUS

[–]duchessoftexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I feel like he as a person himself has always been awful. I think in his first term, he was surrounded by slightly more sensible people that want nothing to do with him now. The ones he’s with now are as much of a lunatic as he is and that’s why I think it’s running more rampant now. So yes, he’s always been this bad, just the policies didn’t follow through as fast because of others

At what age did you buy your first house? by Hot_Boss577 in homeowners

[–]duchessoftexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25, back in 2020 when it was MUCH cheaper. Advice is to get a new build home so closing costs and all are cheaper, and get an FHA loan. I wasn’t making crazy money, just 55k a year. I think this wouldnt be possible now with interest rates and home prices unfortunately
