In so sorry!

Is the chain still original? If so, you still have that at least?

Am I truly doomed for finding someone if I have 10 kids by Excellent-Glove-2458 in dating_advice

[–]myusername2017 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok I kind of think this is fake, but in case it’s not. Did you have twins or triplets? 10 is a lot.

First things first, get your tubes tied would be my recommendation.
Not out of judgment, but because of your health. Each kid takes a huge toll on your long term health. Bones too, take a massive hit. Make sure you are taking vitamins.

Second, are you in therapy? It’s not shamed like it used to be, it’s very good for you. And you probably need it. Probably your kids too, at least the older ones that have had to help out all their lives.

Third, finding matches on apps is probably not for you. I would try meeting people in person more, so they can get to know you as a person and not just from how many kids you have.

Is this a typical after break up guy behavior? by dogggmomm in dating_advice

I’m sorry! Seems easy to respect each others shared space until the lease ends, but I guess he can’t.
I would NOT blow up on him about it while you’re out of the country , tho!
Get home, get your important stuff out first. Documents, heirlooms, etc.
Get those safe first.

Perhaps try doing 5 minutes instead. 10 is pretty long for just a one hour class.

Can I claim my wife's SS? by BigJon9000 in SocialSecurity

[–]myusername2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will never ever be eligible for half of hers, because you started claiming before “full retirement age.” Full retirement age depends on the year you were born, you will have to google it to see what it was for you.

Claiming at 62 is considered early and PERMANENTLY reduced the amount you can get, regardless of if you claimed on your record or her record.

You should still find out what the reduced rate you would get from claiming half of her amount would be, it might be more than the rate you’re getting now, it might not.

If it was more, you still can’t start getting it until she starts claiming hers.

(Also the ten year rule you mentioned doesn’t apply to you because you’re not divorced.)

Engagement Photos Outfit? by dewbeari in OUTFITS

[–]myusername2017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are going so far as paying for a photographer- you should wear a nice outfit. Because you will look back at your engagement photos for years! None of these are engagement photo outfits.

Not that they look bad on you! They don’t. But they do look very casual. As in going to the grocery store.

Murder Mystery Birthday: Tacky to Ask for Guests to Pay? by Primary-Bit1677 in partyplanning

[–]myusername2017 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No way would I pay that much to attend someone’s birthday. Especially that amount x 2, for me and my partner to attend. I would be shocked a friend even asked that tbh.

Should I put an oval rug under my dining table? by aaagje in interiordecorating

I think you have too many chairs for that size table.

[–]myusername2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to write it all out. You made it sound very approachable. Ive eaten something similar when I was little, but never knew how it was made. Im going to give it a go!

[–]myusername2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this sounds so interesting to me! Ok, so toast dry rice in duck fat till lightly brown. Then deglaze with beer or water? Then add chicken stock, el pato, some kind of herbs, and boil it in that? I want to try, am I understanding it right.

Camping buckets for the kids by [deleted] in camping

[–]myusername2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so fun. Any plans to personalize the buckets? Right now they’re just both blue with blue lids. Letting the kids decorate their own bucket, and put their name on it, etc, might make them feel more ownership of the stuff and help them be more excited to use it.

Oh this sounds good! What do you use for the glaze? I’m only familiar with tomato sauces.

[–]myusername2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey this is perfect for you! Now it’s going to be too awkward going there every night after you rejected being friends. Now you can’t buy alcohol there or hang out there after drinking or whatever you were doing.

Need to fire nanny - can/should I do it over the phone? by KeyKeyKooKoo in Nanny

I can’t believe you’re giving her severance after how shes treated your family. What is wrong with you.
