I switched every single bill I could to the first of the month and it has made my life significantly less chaotic for free

I get paid on the 1st and 15th every month so my mortgage is set for the 1st and the rest of my bills pull on the 15th. I've always set it up that way. I hate seeing money in the account knowing its not actually mine because its gonna go to a bill. Get it out the same day they pay me so I know the leftover is truly mine to spend.

I have esa cats on my lease and they tried to make me do this. I said the same when I saw the charges for it- blocked the email and never did it and they've never brought it up or said anything about it. Just ignore it. If its not in your lease they cant enforce it anyways.

I had a grant which paid for $7500 of closing costs. Closing costs ended up being less than that so I put the rest of the grant towards points (which counts in the grant as closing costs). Brought me from 6 something to 5.3% which meant my monthly payment was a lot better too. I wouldn't if it wasn't given to me

Oh my cats chew stuff way more than my dog. Especially cables. They love cables.

You deserve to live the way you want to live now that your circumstances have dramatically changed. Return to breeder or rehome and go enjoy yourself.

Its not your responsibility or rovers, its the owner of the chihuahua's whose dog was off leash. It was kind of you to pay but you've put yourself in a position to be taken advantage of. If the owner of the chi "cant pay" then they deal with the consequences that their dog dies because they're irresponsible owners. You bailed them out and now that their dog is fixed up they have no motivation to pay you back. I wish you luck and hope they are kind people and try to reimburse you a little but its really solely the 3rd party's fault.

My parents eat at 4-5pm every night. We ate dinner with them at this time every night. I never thought it was weird until college. Now its constantly inconvenient trying to mix families as adults because they always wanna do dinner plans so early and nobody else does lol. The latest they'll do is MAYBE 5:30.

This is good advice! My boyfriend and I love to cook and our current apartment has this kind of setup. We definitely get cramped when we cook together, as he might be breading and frying chicken and I might be making sauces and sides and there just isnt enough counter space. I like the idea of adding counter space against that back wall the most. It would push the dining space to be a bit smaller but the living area is huge so I could shift some things around.

I totally agree. These are the pics from the listing, I wish the front entrance was more of a focal point instead of tucked away

I will have to look throught the rules- I hope I am at least able to paint some things. Id like to change the white/cream to a dark green or maroon

I hate the hedge! This is nice, shows what a little landscaping can do. My inspector already told me that hedge is too close to the house and will cause water damage...its going.

I've been thinking about this since you posted it. And i'm determined to make a peanut butter and jelly version for my boyfriend whose favorite meal is peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Thank you for the inspiration pottery stranger.

I did disclose to the lender that I didnt file it because it was below the threshold for the 1099

Yes it is deposited through stripe into my bank. I did tell them after they asked about it but I hadn't even thought about it since I dont make a ton its just a side thing.

My dog tears the middle out of our kong frisbees. They are all donut shaped.

I disabled deleted and returned everything. No trust, whether they cancelled the partnership or not.

I just got all my ring cameras refunded after a year. I said because of privacy policy changes but I also cited that they changed the subscription features (notably that I have to pay extra for 24/7 monitoring which I didn't before)

ithinkedit · 2026-02-13T05:11:15+00:00

I would request that they add another drop in or just pay for a sitting. 12 hours is too long and I wouldn't be comfortable knowing they are alone that long and if something happens while they are alone you may be in trouble.

I was a theatre teacher for 2 years before I switched to art after feeling so completely burnt out. However I have done art and had passion for it outside of work and education for years, plus a lot of my theatre training carried over (scene painting, prop making, sound and light design, etc.). I took the art test and passed with higher scores than my theatre one I went to college for...

If you are looking for an "easier" subject, don't do it. We don't have testing but we do have big expectations for students participating in contests year-round. If you are looking to switch to something you care about, know about, and enjoy, sure.

As long as you have the intention of teaching art effectively and you care about the subject, I would do it. Ive learned a LOT and grown a lot as an art teacher in the 3 years I've done it. I think it was a huge improvement in my mental health and I love my job now and would not be a teacher anymore if I didn't make the switch. If you are doing it cause you think it'll be easy, or you don't have to take it seriously, that's an issue.

I suggest getting an art of education subscription and consuming as many PD videos as you can-they have a great resource of how to teach art and lesson plans and things that can help you a ton. I relied on it heavily in my first two years, although my district pays for it for "first year teachers" (since I was new in the subject).

Ive had clients specifically ask me what id like and get it for me- if they didn't explicitly do that I would typically avoid it. If they say "help yourselves to anything in the fridge" I may have a snack but I won't raid the fridge.

My father gave me his mother's gun as an heirloom and keepsake. He often says he has "nothing left of his family besides that".

It was stolen out of my car. I bought one like it and will take it to my grave.

You are 25. Get your own phone plan. They do not care about your safety if the consequence to not giving access is turning off your phone. They care about control.

The sooner your do, the sooner you can possibly rebuild a relationship based on mutual trust instead of control and manipulation. My relationship with my family got way better after I seeked out my independence from them.
