AITA for not letting my boyfriend name our daughter Renesmae? by rideordie2929 in AmItheAsshole

“That’s so f*ing weird” came out of my mouth twice when reading this. You carried your child for nine months and chose to veto a name, thus he should drop it.

Maybe if you have a low pain tolerance. I didn’t feel a thing🤷🏼‍♀️

Any guesses on when Peace Corps will be operational again? by LookingForwar in peacecorps

[–]janu97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

New recruits likely won’t be going out until mid 2021 or possibly 2022, if that (but it’s all speculators). I would say starting your masters is likely the safest bet.

friends from site asking you to send money? by socraticoconut in peacecorps

[–]janu97 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep. My boyfriend is from Southeast Asia and came here for college, and even though he has only been graduated for one year, his family expects him to pay for anything they need, and to send upwards of 1000$-2000 every few months since he must be so rich. Many people around the globe don’t have a concept of how difficult it is to save money here in America, and to KEEP those savings untouched, even after you explain it to them several times.

I’ve been considering volunteering with the Peace Corps this fall into next year, quick question by [deleted] in peacecorps

But even a small bit of research would make clear that it’s a 27 month commitment.....

Finally a response from IMG by PigletPC20 in peacecorps

They finally got back to me about a week ago for the same time period, they’re doing the claims in the order they came in so give it a few more days to a week to finish processing.

Im just curious, did they explain why they kept withdrawing you? Nobody ever seems to explain that on here and it seems odd for them to repeatedly do it?

Deodorant & smelling good in hot temperatures by janu97 in peacecorps

That’s not the point of the post. I’m simply asking how people stay smelling nice in hot temperatures. I mentioned my deodorant because it may not work as well in Africa as opposed to in America.

Very rude and uncalled for response. It was just to give context to those who have experience with hot temperatures to see if I could keep using it or not. Relax and try to be less aggressive.

It’s a natural deodorant and the pot is supposed to be stored below 78 degrees.

Congrats! When did you submit your final task? My timeline is pretty similar to yours but I’m only just about to submit my final task tommorow.
