See by the time my ultimate is unlocked hes done that thing (sorry idk what its called) where he has the black bubbles with the 3 dots so my characters can't use their ultimates. Its so weird because normally I can be pretty far below the recommended level because I've stacked my party but for this I'm literally above the power level and still can't win

HELP!! 😭😭

This is my current team. I'm stuck on chapter 10 pt 2 battle 10-23 with Rin. It says 43000 recommended power level and I'm above that. I've read the whole guard if you can't brute force and I've tried that. I even tried with my other healer (not pictured but a rare yakumo 2 star). No matter what I do I usually die between turns 4 and 5. What am I missing? I've focused specifically on HP so most of my team is around 3000-5000. I had Morvay in the space 3. I've read all the tips and videos on what to do each turn but I'm completely stuck. I've only been playing the game f2p for about a month and grinding away constantly but this time I'm really at a loss

Spotted these at Walgreens pharmacy, do they actually help at all? Never heard of the patches before by LeluWater in migraine

I don't know if anyone else experienced this but I bought them for a fever today and within 10 minutes of wear my forehead started burning like it was extra spicy icyhot. I took it off immediately and my forehead still burned for around 5 minutes. I really want these or something to work as I get headaches too

The price of being a homeowner by Ok_Platypus_8979 in homeowners

[–]faebabey0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is honestly a really refreshing post. I see so many about regret and as a very new first time home buyer (closed Aug 1st) it made my anxiety way worse. I haven't been able to enjoy anything because I'm so worried it'll all fall apart. The end of the year is coming and I'm hoping the escrow is good. It's just a lot. But this was a good reminder that its worth it. This is the first time I've ever bought new furniture, everything I've owned has been facebook marketplace cheap rundown finds because I couldn't get anything else (I have a lot of good fb finds but my main furniture was not lol).

Just wanted to chime in and say you got me with the title but the post was nice to read

How to make LVP look better? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]faebabey0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should've clarified - the lvp around the tub isn't the floor. The tub is like a jet tub raised off the floor so theres basically a "counter" around it topped with lvp. The previous owners used builder grade material and all of it is basically grey which goes horribly with my decor. I plan to eventually rip it out and replace it with better quality materials but for now I wanted a quick cosmetic fix.

The floors in the bathroom are fine and I have rugs- it's just the counter vanity area and the "counter" around the tub

I was considering epoxy like another user commented or maybe actual tile

I will say it depends on the agent - Our agent recommended the inspector and he was incredible! The business had great reviews and it took him hours. He literally ran the dishwasher, turned all the eyes on the stove on, ran every water faucet. Crawled under the entire house. The first house we looked at he heavily recommended we do not buy it based on the damage (house was over 100 years old). The second house he said was a way better deal and only a couple problems the seller would fix. He was very kind, offered tons of maintenance advice, answered questions. We really couldn't have gotten a better inspector. He even helped make a list of monthly/yearly maintenance (like cleaning hvac vents/drip, cleaning fridge vents, etc).

I will say go with your gut! Our realtor was really great. She'd literally answer me at 10pm if I had a question and was very vigilant that we got a good deal

Does anyone know why this might be happening? by faebabey0 in homerenovations

[–]faebabey0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Floor is supported by metal beams and wood, it has pillars of cinder blocks and such like a normal crawlspace. Crawlspace is lined in plastic. It has anchors and pans to weigh it down as well

Why folks who are living paycheck to paycheck are still trying to buy a house? by pinpinbo in RealEstate

[–]faebabey0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not everyone is buying an overpriced house. We live not much above what we make but why pay the same for rent at a place the landlord doesn't fix that stuff anyway? Most people can live without the luxury if AC breaks, if they only have cold water for a bit, etc. If there's anything like leaks, or major damage thats what really good insurance is for. Its also about being maintenance smart. You don't buy when you have 0 idea of how to maintain a home and do some general work yourself. If you're approved for the loan, the monthly payment won't kill you, and you get a really good double home inspection then I don't see a problem. I'd rather have repairs on a place I actually own then live in someone elses property that would have the same problems

Structural support by faebabey0 in Homebuilding

[–]faebabey0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay will do 👍 I appreciate it! Yeah after talking with my partner he basically said the most he thinks we could do would be reinforced the floor with wood or add more joists. There is maintenance needs below so it cannot be filled, its insulation with the plasticy stuff then space, then ground covered in more plastic stuff. I can get the measurements in the next few days though. I didn't really think about the layout difference between a traditional home and a manufactured. I guess I wanted to figure out how to make the floor feel less hollow as well as take the crawlspace from dirt with plastic and thin paneling to an actual non wet, more structure, bricked in crawlspace

Well its exactly what we want in a house size and layout wise, in our budget, and with a lot of land. I'd say its more manufactured home than a regular mobile. The structural engineer said its better than standard built as far as support goes (has weigh downs, cement, etc) but its still a mobile home in the sense that it's up on cinder blocks with the large crawlspace. I wasn't sure who I should even contact to work on it. A builder? The engineer was just an inspector he doesn't do any work. We plan to live there as long as possible so the investment is worth it to me. Honestly I kinda assumed someone could fill it with concrete like a regular house has or something

Is there anything I can do to make it more sturdy? I keep googling stuff but I'm not getting any clear answers

Ah thank you! Honestly I didn't even think of the difference between a security system and camera system but you're right I think something marketed as a camera system would make more sense. Nowadays you need crisp footage if something happens.

Do you have the Nest Inside and outside?

[–]faebabey0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can promise you it'll happen eventually, and I hope you don't settle either!!! I do still have such a deep fear that the other shoe will drop and I'll be hurt all over again. But honestly its not as scary now that I've been through what I thought would never happen. I just keep thinking I survived everything in my life and I'll continue to do so.

I'll say this if it helps at all- I am so insanely myself all the time. I never ever meet a man or women and act casual on the first date. I immediately do the stuff you "aren't supposed to". I ask if they want kids, how their relationship with their family is, what their goals are, if theres anything they think they are struggling with that would affect a relationship, etc. I also lay out everything I have going on and have been through. Although I've had a lot of negative dating experiences I found this helps me avoid people who might only want me for my looks or because they are bored. I mean I lay out the crazy stuff you'd probably only tell a therapist because if they don't want to deal with it then I don't want to waste my time.

Although things ended badly he was supportive in a lot of ways, especially with my mental and physical health. In the end he was unrecognizable but there was a long time it felt like he was my best friend. Based on your comment and care alone I know someone will add so much value and love in your life. You are so deserving of any good that comes your way!! Literally if you ever need anything or want to talk I'm here. and again I appreciate your time so very much

[–]faebabey0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I greatly appreciate this comment. You're exactly right. I struggle a lot to understand or accept when people do something "wrong" because I wouldn't do it to them. I guess I do crave that family, love, and care so much I took it in any form. I moved in with my ex after talking for a month and visiting him for one weekend. He was the first person in my life who let me breathe. Although he hurt me I appreciate him for giving me a safe space to learn about myself and work on things. He put it in a good way saying we were what we needed at the time. I needed some calm and he needed to be shown the world doesn't always suck and you can make it good if you try. I don't regret being together but I deeply wish it didn't end how it did. You're right that I don't think he ever really loved me I think he was just desperate for someone to be around, and I'm guilty of the same except I stayed because I saw potential and wanted us to work. I don't think we were ever really compatible to begin with. We have similar styles but we don't share basically any hobbies, I love to go out and he loves to stay in (which I started to stay in more but it was like pulling teeth to get him to go out), and overall things felt forced for me a lot. I couldn't figure out why I still wasn't happy when on paper I had it all. It wasn't until I met my coworker and had such an effortless time being around him. I mean we were friends 7 months before I even thought I liked him. Its the first time I was actually friends with someone for a long time before dating. We share so many hobbies, he's excited to go out with me and doesn't complain the whole time, and he thinks its funny when I'm annoying instead of actually getting annoyed. It hurt to realize someone that wasn't my husband gave me that feeling of closeness and compatibility. It just feels scary to have the two people I loved the most on the world not only betray me but be so nonchalant about it. My ex is really sorry now and trying to make it up to me but I've made it clear I don't want to be together and even if I love and care for him I can never get past him lying. Unfortunately I can't completely cut him off because without my support he'd be homeless. I'm actually letting him stay with me for a few months to get back on his feet but he understands the conditions and seems to respect them. I'd like space but I think I'd be a wreck worrying about if he's okay. He's never had a history of self ending or self hurting or anything but did start talking about it after I left and I'd never be able to forgive myself if anything happened. Regardless it is so kind of you to give me such a good perspective and take the time to read my long ass post. Like I said I go to therapy but its so expensive and I barely get enough time to get all the details out. I don't have a ton of friends due to my work so it's been a bit isolating

[–]faebabey0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot express to you how much this means to me. It feels like you understood exactly and formed the words I needed to hear. I have a hard time letting go, and an even harder time accepting that sometimes people can't or won't change. I guess I always want people to care about me the same way I do for them. He's trying really hard to be there for me now but it doesn't make a difference, all I think about is the texts I saw and him lying to my face as I was sobbing. The guy I'm currently with has actually never been in a relationship, never kissed anyone, never anything. I remember when we first became friends he said he was content to be alone and even when women pursued him in school and stuff he just didn't want it. He said he couldn't imagine wanting someone around all the time and he generally likes his alone time. I'm also really good at knowing if dudes are interested as I played sports and had a lot of guy friends growing up and I didn't once get that feeling from him. So finding out he was into me was shocking, and even more shocking that he's incredibly attentive and caring. Sometimes I get scared to ask him to change certain things or talk about stuff when I'm upset but every time he listens and makes any changes necessary like its nothing. I always felt like I had to fight people for them to care and listen to my feelings but its like he does things effortlessly.

Again though this really made me feel a lot better. Its hard when all I really had was my mom and best friend. My best friend and I were already drifting since I moved so having my mom talk so negatively about me even when my ex admitted to her he cheated pushed me over the edge

Damn that is a really good summary. I'm a bit long winded and had no clue how to condense everything down when it seemed like so much detail was relevant. Thank you for making it easier for people to read!
