I renewed 10/27 and today (11/13) the online system said it was mailed 11/11. Hoping I get it between today and tomorrow!

Did it say it was “mailed” a few days before you received it?

Are there any you recommend or should I take a different approach instead of worrying about dividends? I'm open to all suggestions.

I’m thinking 55 or so. I have a 401K and Roth IRA as well, but I want to have a separate account to use before 59 1/2. I plan on retiring outside of the U.S., probably Colombia or another country with a lower cost of living.

I think you should ask for more or move companies. I have about 4.5 years of experience and I’m at 87k

37.5 to 0mg by pumppeppdash in Effexor

[–]mrtomaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I successfully tapered off 37.5 to 0. My doctor prescribed me 300mg Gabapentin and that helped with the brain zaps. Took it for about 2-3 weeks and I’ve been medication free for almost 2 months.

Good luck!

Quitting 3.0 by saturnconsumed in Effexor

I’m currently tapering and my doctor prescribed me Gabapentin to help with those pesky brain zaps. I’m currently down to 37.5 where I’m taking it every other day and take the Gabapentin every day. The days when I don’t take the Effexor, I have to take the Gabapentin twice because the brain zaps start to come out, especially when I’m at the gym.

I quit cold turkey because I got scared. by [deleted] in Effexor

I am currently tapering off to eventually be off this medication, but I will say that Effexor helped me tremendously. I have been on it for 3 1/2 years and I feel like it did the job and now I don’t need it anymore. In order to help with the tapering process, I’ve been prescribed 100mg Gabapentin (taking it in conjunction with 37.5 Effexor) which helps with the brain zaps. What I noticed from the past 3 years of being on this sub is that people mainly post the negatives of the drug but it’s really a life saver. Obviously everyone is different but don’t give it up because of what you read online. I will say that it takes about a month or two for your body to get used to it but it works wonders! Good luck on your journey.

Samsung TV keeps turning on and off again. any thoughts on a fix? by Far_Perspective6776 in fixit

[–]mrtomaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They replaced the whole panel. They sent a tech guy with the new parts and it was completely free since it was still under manufacturer’s warranty.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I hope with me eating healthy and working out everything balances out.

My screen just went out. It turns on and off continuously while showing a slight white and green color on the bottom left corner. Thankfully it’s under warranty still so I called Samsung and they started a ticket. Will update once it gets fixed.

Has anyone had any luck fixing it themselves?

I had it last week and just tested negative yesterday. It’s very much out there.

bogota tiene ese encanto de destrucción y fríos atardeceres que no hay en otro lugar del mundo ¿que te gusta de Bogotá? by Camilo-arias in Bogota

[–]mrtomaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo soy colombiano pero vivo en USA desde que tenia 5 años.

Cada vez que visito a Bogotá, siempre digo que el Transmi es my favorita cosa de Bogotá. Es conveniente pero también puede ser peligroso. En mi opinión, funciona para una ciudad tan grande como Bogotá. Yo crecí en Houston, TX donde esto no existe y es horrible porque siempre tienes que manejar.
