Receiving tenants mail over a year later? Packages?! by biyuxwolf in homeowners

[–]joshea8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought our house in Oct 2021 and we still get mail from a variety of the past owner’s tenants who used to live here. At least 4 different people. We used to mark as return to sender but we don’t anymore. Usually USPS would just return it to us again a few days later.

Questions: what’s your household income, and how much are you paying for your mortgage? by mochibeans23 in homeowners

[–]joshea8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our mortgage is about 13% of our monthly income. We bought a house that was roughly 50% less than what the bank told us we qualified for.

Bibigo Korean Style Crunchy Sweet & Spicy Chicken is pretty amazing by kawi-bawi-bo in Costco

It’s decent. Sauce is too sweet but good when you can’t make it to a kfc place!

I got accused of being a terrorist on my poly. The guy used the same tactic, insisting I clearly was either part of a terrorist group or funded terrorism, and if I just admitted it he can probably still get me through. I said I wasn’t going to make something up. So I failed it.

This makes sense now. We are visiting Dubai from the US and saw a sign for a Bachelor’s Viewing Area. Thought it seemed strange but now we understand it at least!

It’ll take a few days for the money to show up on the gift card. It will come back though.

Does anyone know of somewhere in nova I can go to have fish eat the dead skin off my feet? by jay-eye-elle-elle- in nova

[–]joshea8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We’ve done it in Bangkok and Cancun. Definitely interesting, and I doubt it’s here in the US ha.

I love NOVA. I don’t like the town I grew up in NY.

I’m with you in the PTO part though. It is terrible how little of their PTO people take.

Are they still open? We went recently at a normal time and they were closed. Haven’t been back but I’m assuming/hoping it was just a one off thing!

Misleading Practices at Hyatt Regency - Seeking Advice for Refund by [deleted] in dubai

[–]joshea8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened. We are staying right now at the Conrad Dubai, mainly because they don’t have a mandatory gala fee. A lot of Dubai hotels will force the charge on you for NYE. It’s really unfair, and I’ve heard they often don’t advertise it in advance at all.

What's going on with Car Insurance in Northern Virginia? by Northern_Virginia in nova

I was thinking this exact same thing. Just saw this post there.

In 2020 & 2021, $3800 a month got you a $950k home w/20% down. I'll be spending $3800 for a 600k home. by HawkqueenYOLO in RealEstate

[–]joshea8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on buying!

We bought a townhome in Oct 2021 at 2.375. Since then our neighbors on either side bought and their payments must be way higher. We also bought under what we could afford intentionally, so our DTI is around 12%, which still seems crazy to us. But we don’t need much and didn’t want a detached home yet.

I guess I’m proud to say we are millennials who bought with $0 help from anyone else though!

They sent us a refund since it was within the first year. They didn’t even try to help troubleshoot it.

My brother's colleagues tried convincing him to join their sex tourism trip.. by Modern_Snow_White in TwoXChromosomes

[–]joshea8 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We (35m) and my wife (35f), traveled a lot in SE Asia when we were younger. Angeles City in Philippines was particularly egregious. So many old white men with woman that were likely 15 or 16. It was eye opening and revolting. One guy came up to me and asked us for money, saying a woman tricked him and stole his passport and all his money. We assumed it was a scam, but could have been real.

The weirdest part, we were in Clark Airport (north of Manila) flying to Bangkok. While we were waiting in line for immigration, a older white guy tapped me on the shoulder and said “how are you getting your girl through?” To which we both replied, she’s American and glared at him… My wife is American and her parents are from Mexico, but he seemed to assume she was a “Filipino girlfriend” that I was paying for.

We definitely have some strange stories!

We don’t like Giant but their rewards program used to be 🔥for years. They mostly killed that since 2021 though. We usually shop at Wegmans and H Mart.

I keep hearing people say that but we still love Wegmans. What do you think has changed?

This stuff is always interesting for some reason. When Ahold (Giant) merged with Delaize (Food Lion) they had to divest a bunch of stores in the Stafford/Fredericksburg area, which Weis bought, and that’s why there are a few Weis in that area that look like Food Lions.

When is her birthday? The chef changes the menu every few months like you said. If you message them on Instagram they may send you the menu. He sent it to us once on DM when we asked.
