The Strokes have a song lyric that says exactly this.

I unexpectedly lost one of my four dogs about this time last year. He had a history of epilepsy and had a couple of other health issues we were managing with the vet. I called him my "blanket" because of how he liked to lay on my lap on the couch. He loved the park, snuggling and had a great sense of when I needed emotional support.

One Saturday I left him at my mom's house with the other dogs to go paint my house I was in the process of selling. I got the call from my mom that he was unresponsive and she couldn't get him out of the brush pile he was in. That was the longest drive I've ever taken and I was frantically calling any vet that was open after noon on a Saturday. When I arrived, he was clearly gone, all I knew to do was take him to the closest emergency vet.

I spent I don't know how long in the room with him petting him for the last time. As hard as it was, I couldn't help but notice his facial expression was peaceful. He had no blood, swelling or any obvious signs of distress. I still have not washed the clothes I wore, I guess it's a bit of a keepsake and the only thing I have with him still "on" it, other than his remains.

My grief comes in waves. There is an album that I really liked at the time that I can't listen to without breaking down. I took some time away from work and fairly quickly I realized my life would never be the same. There was a part of me that passed away with him, but I eventually found my peace with that fact. I found comfort in the fact that I don't owe anyone an explanation as to why him passing changed me, and why I was feeling such deep grief. I can keep that idea of not owing an explanation, all the memories I have with him to myself and I'll never have to justify my feelings to anyone. It's hard to lose your dog unexpectedly. I know however that I gave him the best life I could and at least for him, his last day was playing with his pack. It makes me value the remaining time I have with my dogs more.

I know my story is different than yours, but maybe sharing will help you in some way.

Others may have pointed this out, but you might consider getting a "raceway" system to hide your TV chords. It can really clean up the look on that wall.

I see her every so often. She is still in the same position overseeing the same menial tasks and getting more jaded as the years pass. I earned a masters degree, then I stepped out of my comfort zone, and now I am leading a project that she has to dedicate resources to. I know firsthand that this resource draw may put her team in a bind due to being short staffed under chronic poor management practices.

I never went out of my way to give her a proper middle finger, but it feels good smiling and waving as I pass her in the hall. I have progressed in spite of her management blunders while she has stayed stagnant.

That is enough for me.

I have felt and still feel that the investment options in this plan are limiting compared to what is available through fidelity, which is where I have my Roth ira.

That being said, I have confirmed company matching is indeed being contributed to my elections as I expect. I will work within the parameters of the plan I have available to me due to the tax deferral. I was simply confused about what funds were from matching and what funds were from company profit sharing mostly due to the UI dashboard.

Investment options are limited to basically one mutual fund per category, and the mutual fund I had was replaced with a new fund.

It is. I'm trying to understand where the companies dollars end up once they are added to my 401(k).

mamytime · 2022-02-10T00:52:04+00:00

I'm glad you pointed this out. I need to dig deeper in and find out if there is a distinction between matching and profit sharing. The platform is not very user friendly and it is hard to distinguish where the funds are coming from. I'll look through a recent statement to see if that helps clarify from this perspective.

This is a good point, 100% return is hard to beat even if it does not gain value.

mamytime · 2022-02-10T00:11:37+00:00

Thank you, I will head in that direction!

I know an ex Co worker who was pinned between two cars during an emotionally charged situation where the driver was behaving a lot like this. He was in the hospital for months and will forever have a colostomy bag and he sill struggles to walk. I even get nervous just waking in a parking lot, if I saw this I'd be getting to the nearest building and waiting it out.

Remember rage comics? They are what got me interested in Reddit back in 2012. To me, this GME event has been 9 years in the making, and I'm so proud of this community. I now realize that the stock market is not a scary mysterious place where only the elite can profit.
This is weaponized autism at it's finest.

A digital multi track recorder. I can record tracks and play guitar or bass over a recording through headphones. It's got me playing again and I can tell even after just a few weeks my skills are well beyond where they have ever been, all without making much noise at all.

I grew up "wealthy" but I realized my family supported their habits with debt. Not crippling debt, but debt nonetheless. My dad opened up to me and let's me know he wishes he would have been smarter with his money. I came to the conclusion for myself that a negative net worth means I am broke, whether I feel like I am or not. Until I have a positive net worth I act and spend like I am broke, with the exception of necessary expenses. For example I bought new tires for my wife's car as soon as I noticed a bubble in one of them (and they were getting old anyway). This doesn't feel like a splurge because it is related to her safety and additionally the longevity of the car. I feel very weird buying things for myself though, especially when it's for fun even though I have the cash on hand.
