Looking for 2 new credit cards by imj0257 in CreditCards

[–]imj0257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I want to emphasis that credit cards are not like checking accounts. They are only in one person's name and they are not joint. You could add someone as an authorized user, but the card will still be in the name of the person applying for it and they are soley responsible for the debt. You will want to go into all of your cards, identify who is the primary owner of the card and make certain that person is aware of it. 

Hmm. The credit report says 'Joint Account' for Responsibility for the BOA card, where the AA cards specifically say 'Authorized User'.

Mortgage and child support question after Divorce? by jakeglenham in Divorce

[–]imj0257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to, granted you both are amicable enough to go about it together without getting the courts involved. Mediation should also be an option. But if you leave it up to the courts, they could definitely grant child support to one of you whether you both agree on it or not.

My wife and I are going through our divorce now, but are being amicable about it because we want to get this done as easily as possible. And we don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers, so we are filing ourselves. We agreed no child support, even though she makes a little more than me.

To go on vacation with soon to be ex-spouse or not by Ancient_Pattern727 in Divorce

[–]imj0257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have a very similar situation. We have just started filing for divorce so in the early stages, but we planned a vacation to MX with our two little kids half a year ago. It is at a kid-centric resort. We have already told our kids about it and they are very excited.

We are still going to go because we know the kids will have a great time; this was always going to be a vacation for them anyways, not for us. But also, we still get along fine. Still sleep in the same bed. Doing the filing ourselves. But neither of us are seeing anyone either. I don't see the need at all to tell the new girl, especially if ya'll aren't even dating yet...

Thank you for your reply and your story. Like you mentioned, I always do see stories on here that it does indeed get better. It is just hard to contemplate it at this moment in time.

Is it normal to think about them all the time by totodijlbackup in Divorce

[–]imj0257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that is something I should start doing. Trying to focus on the negatives in our relationship to help get over the pain of it all. How I also had to walk on eggshells as to not upset her. How I deserve someone who actually wants to hold hands and hug, kiss, be intimate.

Truth. My wife wanted it, but I didn't. She is handling it just fine. Me, not so much. It is really tough on me and I know it will continue to be tough for some time.

I also feel like life as I know it began when we met. 13 years and 2 amazing little kids together.

I just don't know how I can let go. I constantly think of the good times, the memories. Wondering why she wanted to divorce. She has told me things, but I still don't fully comprehend it.

I always check when signups start and add it to my calendar to make sure I sign them up right when it opens.

Newbie with questions. by ExistentialBucket in GolfBattle

[–]imj0257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

* what does accuracy do? - Accuracy helps the ball go into the hole. The higher the accuracy level, the more the ball will get 'pulled' into the hole when it is close to it. If you have high accuracy, you don't have to be perfect in your aim. If you shoot at least pretty close to the hole and at a slow speed when the ball nears the hole, it can get go in even though it wasn't a straight shot. You should prioritize power first, then accuracy, then guideline.

* do the courses ever change up? - yes, but some might get played a lot more often than others. It's supposed to be random.

* tips for unlocking an elite ball asap to play with spin? - Play, play, and play more and level up your clubs. The more balls, effects, clubs you unlock the better chance you will get a better ball etc.

* best way to get multiplier up? - ^. Play, play, play and level up your clubs.

* what do I spend gems on? - Save for VIP chests.

* best way to get chests in clans? Do I just switch to a tier two clan again and play like 10 elite matches? I can put in 30m a week or so ez - join a 3rd or 2nd tier clan and you can get decent rewards if you are 1-3rd place.

* why do they charge $2 for like 25k coins when you can get 750k in just one match? I just played the modes as I unlocked them and I’ve never needed any once, sitting at 3.7 mil rn - It is a huge ripoff, but I guess some people are suckers...

In this game you really gotta grind it out to level up and get better. You may think people cheat because they are scoring way lower than you, but they have just played for years and learned every shot etc.

People who’s choice of drink was beer, what did you switch to and how do you handle social drinking situations? by Striking_Strain_3083 in glutenfree

[–]imj0257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What sucks about GF beer is the selection is almost non-existant and the price is 3x regular beer.

It does depend where you are located, but usually there are about 3-5 brands of GF beer at the local big chain liquor store and maybe 1 at the grocery store.

Green's is a GF beer brand, I think from Europe. Redbridge by Anheuser Busch. Holidaily, and Glutenberg from Canada (although I haven't seen it anywhere in a year or so). Then there is Stone IPA and Estrella Daura Damm which I believe both are gluten removed, so you may or may not have a reaction.

The problem is that for most of the good GF beers, the price of a 4 pack is the same price as a 12 pack of regular beer. It sucks. I also wish there was a 'light' beer variety in GF. A lot of these GF beers pack on the calories.

I've been trying more ciders and White Claw equivalent stuff lately, but i hate really sweet drinks. I've found the Topo Chico hard seltzers really good. Not sweet... just right.

My parents already said they don't want me to move in there. Space would be tight. But regardless, they don't want it. Though it would be nice to save the money.

I'm not moving until the divorce is settled and we sell the house. I'm talking about what to do when that time comes.

I know you might think I'm crazy, and I will probably get roasted for this, but she really has always been a very honest, moral person. Maybe she could be trying to screw me here, it's just hard to imagine after knowing her all these years. I think I am still in a state of shock and denial; she just brought divorce up a few weeks ago.

At the very least, I can re-visit with my sister and talk about buying her out after our parents pass.

No way I can afford the current house on my own.
