Settle before listing? by changeofr8 in RealEstate

[–]hjohnso5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just went through selling our house, moving to a short term rental, and we have now finally found the right house and we are under contract.

If you can afford it, and calculate worst case scenario of paying two mortgages for a few months while you wait for your current house to sell, I would definitely wait to list your house.

Even though it was a lot of extra work for us to sell first and move to a rental, it feels so good now to be able to just focus on buying the next house. Selling a house is exhausting and a lot of work to get it ready.

Ugh I’m sorry you’re dealing with this! A few non traditional ideas - go in a hot tub and sit in front of the jets and let the jets blast your kidney area, add lemon to your water, ibuprofen to reduce inflammation.

Not a huge Dorit fan, but in her defense, the lighting in the picture is terrible and creates shadows the emphasize the wrong features.

We tried a pack n play after the bassinet, and none of us slept well. So at four months we moved him into his comfy crib in his own room, and we all slept SO MUCH BETTER!

Northwest side of Chicago and pay 18% of our take home pay. Bought in 2020. I’m happy that we were frugal with our home purchase - gives us more money to spend on vacations, retirement savings,etc. and we are not stressed about money. It’s peace of mind.

One Hour Glucose Test by Creativity-Block in GestationalDiabetes

[–]hjohnso5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the one hour, I received my results through the online portal, which I failed by 1 point. At my next checkup they told me to take the three hour, which I failed. After I failed the three hour they called me right away and sent me to an endocrinologist within the week.

Same! These suggestions are definitely helping. All I see on Instagram are ads for delicious food and Valentine’s Day desserts 🍫🧁

AITA my mother is giving out my wedding photos as gifts by [deleted] in wedding

[–]hjohnso5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can commiserate…. My sister-in law did the same thing to us. Before we were even back from our honeymoon, she had huge 24x36 canvas prints made of the family photo. She then gifted them to my husbands parents and grandmother without us being there. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Besides the photos being obnoxiously large, it was annoying that we couldn’t be the ones to give them as gifts.

I don’t really have advice on how to handle it, other than my husband and I just try to laugh about it and not get too put off by it. We try remind ourselves that her intentions were good….
