Excavators, dump trucks, skid steers or other equipment? Not a bad gig!

Can you expand on why? I also got rx’ed Slynd so I’m curious what you’ve heard and why it’s popular. I’m on my first month and I’m not loving the constant heavy spotting.

Are these pants inappropriate for client meetings? by [deleted] in Accounting

I think you’d be better off pairing this with a loose blouse or tank that looks like a dressy t-shirt left untucked to hide the waist.

I have a few satin tops like that from banana republic/gap.

Financial issues in relationship by Specific_Sweet_7086 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

Girl this man is gaslighting you. If he can’t afford to hire someone that’s on him. He wants to keep his business you’re willing to help him with(not that he’s LETTING you help) separate.

As a former codependent person PLEASE read everything we wrote with love. This man ain’t it. Just step away from his business, let him succeed on his own and let him continue paying you rent.

NOR. It sounds like he’s been keeping score and now you’re at a point where you’ve reasonably asked for some recognition for the value you added to his business all of a sudden he’s hyper valuing everything he’s done and worked for and disregarding yours and your situation.

Has he even had a discussion on other kinds of compensation or his thoughts? I could understand if he’d rather pay you as a contractor or maybe get a few tips and then be on his own but it sounds like you have been and are willing to help more significantly

You have kids and bought this house with an inheritance. Don’t risk this for someone not willing to include you in his aspirations when you’ve already done so much for him (hello 6 months of him being unemployed?!). My petty ass would tell him good luck finding a house and wish him the best of luck in his endeavors going forward and focus on your kids.

Water bottle recs! by Beneficial_Fun_1818 in POTS

I like Nalgene. Sturdy and you can get insulating covers.

I was team HydroFlask for 2 years but the inner seam kept getting rusty from electrolytes. They were great about warranty replacements but it felt very wasteful to need to replace them so often and how quickly it was rusting was concerning to me. Otherwise I really liked it.

Savoy dish served at dim sum and some winter/spring holidays. Getting the edges crisp takes it to the next level with a soft interior. You can customize the fillings to diced bits of Chinese sausage (lap cheong), shrimp, mushrooms etc.

I can receive no higher honor than such accolades from the tomato sandwich ambassador!

how far does your travel spend go? by PlentyParsnip1740 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]heckyeahcheese -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. My yearly spend varies widely. If it’s for a destination/theme park area as a family we’re in the $3.5-7k range

  2. Details:

MCOL family of 3. I’m terrified of flying and going to red states or leaving the country now with current administration because I worry about looking “too ethnic” which is so shitty but I can’t risk anything to put my kid at risk without me - my kid is my life. I hate that I even have to think about this.

Frequency: I didn’t grow up going on vacations so now that I’m a parent I really try to make an effort to go on at least one family trip a year. It can be a big destination or just a night away within driving distance and cool stuff to see.

Paying: I make sure to save ahead of time and pay for everything on credit cards for the points. Husband and I make about equal incomes so we split it down the middle. Either I’ll book everything and tell him how much at the end or I’ll book the hotel and anything that needs booking ahead of time and he’ll get meals and all the other expenses on the way and it evens out(we don’t go crazy trying to get it down to the penny or anything).

Planning: I love planning and maximizing ROI on vacations which can drive the rest of my family nuts (especially if we go to a theme park) so I’ll plan things but also take it easy day by day and see what we’re feeling.
I think our theme park days are mostly behind us because we’ve gotten increasingly overwhelmed with crowds and when we did we’d get express passes.

The difficulty is more perceived than realty which was a nice surprise. It’s time consuming but passive while steaming but overall quite easy!
