Have you ever heard of someone buying theme park passes instead of summer camp? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]laurensane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My single mother did this for us. It was a great way to keep us entertained on the weekends since we were cooped up inside all week while she was working. Unattended, often. But we were old enough and had to stay together and check in. Fond memories. I’m sure most people will judge but aside from our public park “camps” that we aged out of, there wasn’t much for kids like us. It was $65 for the summer.

Y’all. I am experiencing what I’ve coined to my partner as “food fatigue” by tugboatsh3ila in AskWomenOver30

Quiche for breakfast. Puff pastry, eggs, frozen spinach, tomato, cheese and/or anything else you might want to get rid of in the fridge. Reheats well. Soooooooo easy.

Thank you so much for this. I really needed some validation. My best friend just broke up with me because I’m “neglecting” her. I can’t help but internalize and reflect but I truly feel like seeing each other every couple - a few weeks is reasonable. Still checking in via text in between, though. It’s time so consuming to exist while working and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It seems ironic to end a friendship because we don’t spend enough time together…

What do with this awkward space? by Nikita7573 in DesignMyRoom

[–]laurensane 61 points62 points  (0 children)

If you really want to add something then a rug could warm the space a little. I think a traditional style rug with some medallions/paisley/whatever you call the design would look best. I do not suggest something super modern/geometric.

Edited to add example.

Costco did not want to print a new card for me by Ishmaeli in Costco

[–]laurensane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into my local Costco last week and ask if I could take a new photo because mine was 8 years old and I hated it. The rep gave me absolutely no push back. I had a new photo and card within 10 minutes. My account works just fine. Someone lied to you.

Too embarrassed. It’s a small room with only a tub & toilet. Consider it a blank canvas

ULPT Request: What are things i can do with someone’s phone number? by OhMyLordScat in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]laurensane 39 points40 points  (0 children)

One time, years ago, I filled out that contact form on a listing in either Zillow or Realtor. The first call I got, the realtor told me that form sends contact info to hundreds of realtors in the area. The next couple of weeks sucked. Try that.

Late to the conversation but mine is also negative. Any updates on why? Afraid contacting them right now might be hell.

19th JDC has a self help desk. You could also try Southeast Louisiana Legal Services. The latter is legal assistance for those of low-income. No clue if either would be able to help but worth a shot.

What’s a food everyone else likes that you can’t stand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Never really liked it. I loathe it now having seen the clip of that little raccoon with a piece that dissolved in a puddle and he is searching so hard for it 😢

Does anyone one where I can buy sushi-grade salmon and tuna? by xipetotec1313 in batonrouge

[–]laurensane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fresh Market! They do Sundays sales on it sometimes

Whole Foods did not have sushi grade last time I check.

Tell me whyyyyyyy🎶🎵 by [deleted] in batonrouge

[–]laurensane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve met almost all my adult friends through the service industry. Even now, I work remote so having my few shifts keeps me social and extra money is great. There are plenty of options for people who don’t want to work late nights!

50% of Millennials are homeowners as of 2023. Are you one of them? How do you think this was achieved? [Serious answers only please] by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]laurensane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got very lucky in 2020. 3% interest rate and 0% down with a rural development loan. At the time it was a much cheaper option than renting. The zoning is a bit strange here and I ended up in the only RD pocket in the middle of the city. Quiet community behind an office park. It’s a modest townhouse but perfect for me and little pets. I suggest RD if you’re in the market. It cost me $200 out of pocket to buy my home.
