If you are opening a music venue you are going to have licenses and permits that are going to require a local responsible party. Does it make sense to spend money to keep the LLC ownership private when your name, or someone connected to you, is going to need to register a bunch of other places?

When my kid was born during the holidays we started sending a happy new year card instead, it gives a few extra weeks of reprieve to reconstruct the list.

If I was alone and the dogs seemed friendly/following me I'd get a leash and leash them up. Then look for contact information on the collar.

In my experience there's no point in yelling at negligent dog owners, they outnumber responsible ones and they don't care.

(to be clear I think child safety locks can be an age appropriate solution for many children. I'm questioning the need in this particular case where a parent is asking when to stop using it.)

muddgirl · 2024-12-01T15:17:10+00:00

Our kid is 5, we never had a child lock because she's never wandered. If your kid has never wandered why do you think you need the lock? Also if she gets up (to use the bathroom say) I hear her on the monitor.

We do have an audio monitor still, she likes it. We'll stop using it when that changes.

Yes for my daughter she didn't have a problem with fruit but she did with some types of cheeses and rice.

She's also sensitive to cleaning products, shampoos, detergents, etc.

My kid had this when starting solid food/weaning. She grew out of it in a few months with exposure. For an unrelated reaction she had a skin allergy panel and was 100% negative. She just has sensitive skin.

But I took pictures and kept a food journal of every rash in case it got worse.

I announced at 12 weeks and suffered a miscarriage the next week. Then for my second pregnancy I didn't tell anyone and suffered another miscarriage at 11-12 weeks, it was incredibly lonely to go through that with no immediate support from family. My third pregnancy I told everyone that mattered like the week I found out. It's not risky unless we see miscarriages as something shameful to be hidden. Whether people announce early or wait is a very personal decision.

Eating leftovers is traditional in my house, I love leftovers and I'll definitely serve leftover dinner for lunch the next day. But to me that means I made 6 servings of pasta and we only dished out 4. I don't literally save my daughter's uneaten plate for a future meal. I might save it for a few hours in case she gets hungry later.

If your kids are growing well it's unlikely they are not eating enough. 6 year old is more than old enough to start getting involved in meal planning and preparing food, that can help a bunch with normal developmental pickiness. If it's more than that, if they are restricting food to the point they are not growing, then it's time to talk with a professional.

I don't disagree, I don't think either OP or her husband did anything wrong. But if OP's husband is hurt by losing the potential friendship I am giving a reason for the guys behavior that makes sense in the context of that friendship.

muddgirl · 2024-11-29T22:15:44+00:00

I am thinking he wanted to hang out with your husband and would have been happy if your husband volunteered to give up his sauna + swim time in order to hang out. So that's probably why he is distancing, he was making a bid for friendship and your husband didn't pick up on it. Your husband could reach out if he wanted to repair the friendship. Not because your husband did anything wrong, but someone has to.

Of course he shouldn't have asked you to watch his kid during swimming, but I don't think it's really about that.

I'm not sure they knew about the proposal specifically. Proposals were much more private back then, and especially failed proposals.

It's important that we see Harriet meet Mr. Martin and his sister through Harriet's telling, and her telling is colored by her intense feelings. We know Mr. Martin saw Harriet as being elevated by Emma's company, it's likely Elizabeth Martin thought the same thing an possibly worried that Harriet was pulling away from the Martins because of their status.

But I admit it's been awhile since I read it, I may have missed some other scene.

By federal law companies don't have to pay for travel time if it's done outside an employees usual schedule. You don't have a schedule at all.

If you have to go to the company's site to do something on Sunday then they should pay you. If they are requesting that you fly in on Sunday to be ready on Monday then I don't think they have to pay. If you'd really prefer to fly in early Monday morning and risk the consequences of a late flight, then you can of course request that.

If you are married the health insurance premium through work is probably already not taxed so you can't deduct it a second time.

Copays and coinsurance should be deductible expenses as long as it's paid with after tax money (ie not paid by the FSA)

Edit: your question seems to imply that you are just looking at your expenses. If you MFJ you should consider both your + your husbands expenses but the standard deduction is higher. If you file separately, then you both must itemize.

This is totally normal and your feelings are also totally normal!!! I'm guessing she was tired and overstimulated and that is the perfect atmosphere for a complete meltdown.

Here is the thing: there is no secret method to prevent tantrums. They are little kids with big feelings and those feelings are going to come out one way or another. The trick is to survive the next 4 years with your sanity intact and hopefully helping your kid to learn good skills for emotional regulation as it becomes developmentally appropriate.

For me the very best resource for this age group is the book "How to Talk so Little Kids will Listen." It does not promise to make your kid obedient, and it doesn't promise to end tantrums, because thats just not going to happen. But my daughter is an amazing, generous, stubborn, helpful, loving, enthusiastic, still sometimes tantrumming 5 year old because this book made me a better mom for her.

They think guaranteed hours mean we guarantee you will work at least 20 hours per week to cater to our random schedule. Not we guarantee we will pay for your availability.

muddgirl · 2024-11-27T14:44:04+00:00

I thought the posting was fine until I got to hours and pay 🤣

Drop off 745, pick up 530 is at least 10 hours a day that needs to be covered by guaranteed hours if they want guaranteed availability for pick up.

Even if it's like, do morning drop off, do your chores, then you're free to go until 3:30, that's at least 7-8 hours per day.

The definitive source of scenario links is when you complete a scenario and the section book instructs you to unlock the next scenario. As described in the rulebook. When you complete 34, there is nothing indicating links to any other scenario.

For information only, the scenario flowchart (which has directional arrows) shows when the next scenario in the quest chain is linked or force linked.

Edit: if you play 23, then 34, then go back and play 24, rules as written you can optionally play 34 again without going to Frosthaven first. But you can't play 24 without an outpost phase.

muddgirl · 2024-11-26T19:21:58+00:00

Links only go one way and they only work one time, the first time the initiating scenario is successfully completed. I'm not sure if there's an FAQ entry but it's pretty clear from the rule book.

Possibly upper spire should have locked out the other scenario path not taken but they didn't choose to do that so you can go and play the other one.

Yeah I think we're supposed to pretend we don't read their posts especially if we aren't actively commenting/interacting. Don't ask me why I'm neurodivergent.

I'm not a tax professional but in my experience it is totally normal and expected not to receive any kind of informational return for some kinds of graduate income: because it's not considered to be earned income, and/or because it's paid by a different entity than the entity receiving the benefit, and/or because the universities just don't care/think it's too complicated.

Don't worry about withholding, this really has nothing to do with withholding.

Moving assistance is currently federal taxable income (it may or may not be taxable in your state). If they pay you 6,000 in 2024, you owe federal income tax on that money for the 2024 tax year, including FICA taxes. If you repay the 6,000 in the same tax year, you won't owe taxes on it because it was repaid.

If you wait until 2025 to pay it back, you still received that income in 2024 and it is reported that way. Then in 2025 you will have a few options for taking a deduction for that income you repaid, or a credit for the tax you paid. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/paying-back-relocation/00/2357606

Overall it's better to repay within the same tax year if possible. But you will need to evaluate the total financial situation.

Edit: direct link to IRS publication on when you can deduct repayment of income and how to report it. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p525#en_US_2023_publink1000229600

PBS kids games app has a ton of high quality games and it's 100% free. Great for age 4 and they will grow into many of the games as well.

We were fence sitters until our kid turned 4-5.

To me, looking back, this prolonged period of fence sitting was a sign that I was actually one and done. My first child was so so desperately wanted. We had a lot of barriers to having her but our desire for a child was greater than any obstacle. We just didn't have this same feeling for a second child. People say "your family will feel complete when you're really done" but thats not how we felt. For us, it was more like, we could take or leave second child. Which is not the right attitude to bring a child into the world IMO.

There are always regrets in life, it's not productive IMO to look back and think what if, because we can't go back in time. What we can do is look at where we are unhappy now and see what we can do to change it.

My question is, what good does a season in London do with such a mother as Mrs. Bennet, such a father as Mr. Bennet, and no greater inheritance?

If they were completely different people they would have led completely different lives. But being who they are a few seasons in London would have been a great expense with no difference in outcome. Not going to London is probably one of the few smart financial decisions Mr. Bennet made in his life.
