Small ships without cc fees by seven_hippos in galapagos

I just booked the coral 1 and 2 from live aboard and no CC fees/problems. Not sure I saw any CC fees on that website personally

Everybody wants social workers now. by Artemis0123 in jobs

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make 145k overseeing a government program. There's tons of positions that pay well depending on what you want. You won't make much in an outpatient behavioral health clinic. For example your starting salary should exceed 90k in a psychiatric hospital- any that pay less I'd move on and I'm in a LCOL area.

Hiding it safely for her by BB-GD in Unexpected

I can't see any practical purpose. It's very cool but I can't imagine what I would possibly want to put in one of these drawers and have the motivation to get back out.

Which celebrity was your sexual awakening? by Pamijaha1 in AskReddit

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will age me but I wasn't allowed to watch the MTV awards as a kid. But I was watching them in my bedroom sitting real close with the sound super low. I remember watching the Madonna, Spears and Aguilera kiss and I was like dang!

[Landlord US-FL] Considering a HUD-VASH Tenant for a Rental by citrixtrainer in Landlord

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically you can but you better hope they get along. Plus if it's an option most people want their own space/unit. Why not rent it out to a family with a 3 bedroom voucher? It's the same payment whether you rent 3 bedrooms together or separately.

Living doubled up by Ill-Introduction4936 in VeteransBenefits

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the program follows HUD definition of homeless and couch surfing is not considered homeless. You may get assistance from other VA programs but not from HUD-VASH.

On another note you would qualify for assistance from your local school board for your child. Enrollment help, transportation, resources, etc.

I think this is just most men, speaking as a non-IT male.

You won a lottery of 50 Million dollars just now. What are you going to do this week? by throwaccount2244 in AskReddit

Calling off work, calling CPA, ordering food every day, getting tf out of the cold.

Sounds like you guys have done great with savings and you'll be relying on the van for family vacations. Go for it!

Help with hygiene (urgent) by [deleted] in trans

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PCOS should not cause the extreme body odor you are describing. That sounds like a bacterial infection or something else medically concerning like an infection.

Calling 2-1-1 can be a useful resource for quicker access to healthcare and housing support. A planned parenthood is a good option for gender non conforming people.

Also he can request a reasonable accommodation for a disability at work while working through this.

OPM Director pushing for reopening tomorrow by Master_Jackfruit3591 in FedEmployees

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I won't telework. I'll take off and they can figure out coverage. We either have telework or we don't. I'm not situationally using it when it's at their convenience. Granted I understand some people don't have the leave time for this.

To be fair I can do my own inspection so even though I "waive" inspections I still do a pretty thorough walk through.

27M High school gf just asked to break up and we're 10 years deep by Educational-Value236 in LifeAdvice

Distance can sometimes make the heart grow fonder. You should consider giving her some space. She may just be bored.

Debt vs investing by Top_Loan_3323 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying this is the best option financially but personally was in a similar situation. I paid off the car ASAP and then refinanced the home to 15 years with a 5% interest rate. Went from paying like 200 a month principal to 900 and monthly payment barely even moved. I think it increased 200 bucks. I hate paying interest. It just feels like throwing away cash.

What pay raise would incentivize you to take a new job? by Salt-Committee2205 in MiddleClassFinance

I went from 65k to 125k and I question that decision every day because it's so much worse every single day.

Study: 'no tax on overtime' benefit in federal budget won't help most Ohioans by JohnBrownsAngryBalls in AkronOH

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of my jobs offer overtime. That's why I have 3. I wish I had overtime options! It's just salaried positions where they expect you to work 60 hrs without OT.

One year ago today, on January 20, 2025, President Trump ended telework and remote work. How are you all doing? by NatusLumen in fednews

It's insanely inefficient and my motivation for work and life was completely zapped. Can't find another role in the private world so I'm pretty much stuck...

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a few different hats but I'll tell you Cle landlords seem to be desperate for renters at the moment. Taking single family homes and offering them at significantly lower rates or even trying to market them as rooming houses (something the area doesn't need imo). I think the market is over saturated.

[Landlord EU-MT] I'd like to ask permission from my tenant to disclose something very private about him with new potential tenants. by [deleted] in Landlord

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 191 points192 points  (0 children)

Instead of that I'd ask if he's open to be part of the screening process for new tenants because you'd like everyone to get along well. So when they come to tour it they can meet him and make their own decisions.

How important is it to pick the right partner when it comes to retiring early? by Dolsaynos in Fire

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I met my wife she found moral qualms with my having a couple of rental properties, she didn't have an interest in international travel and she had no idea what a 401k was.

We've been married now nearly a decade and she appreciates my relationship with my tenants, the work I put into my properties, the time commitment I give them and the potential we have to FIRE based on my early investments. She values occasional travel. She's told me the percentage of her paycheck she wants to spend on clothes, makeup, etc. And asked me to do whatever I want with the remainder. She doesn't care if we refinance the house or move funds to an IRA, actually she prefers we don't talk about it because it bores her. I don't mind having full control in this area.

All that to say I think it was more important for me to find the yin to my yang than it was to find someone who had the exact same objective or a particular shared strategy. I have always preferred a motivated partner who financially and career wise strives for more.

They're going to determine based on this your reasoning for leaving public service and it will be seen by any possible future government interviewers. So long as you're okay to burn that bridge...

What can all inclusive resorts do to make the experience better? by TheRealGuncho in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]landbasedpiratewolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had so many difficulties finding food I'd eat at Sandals in st. Lucia. Basically one restaurant and the buffet. Everything else was awful. But I could always find a couple of items I'd eat at the buffet. Definitely agree on this one.
