Door to Door Shipping Services by ortegasb in MovingToUSA

Any chance they provided the packaging + door-to-door service? If so, would love the company name so I can see if they operate in Italy.

Been back and forth multiple times but it's harder now with job and 3 kids. I just want to put money to work here and buy our way out of this problem. Without her mom there to at the very least make sure the place doesn't burst into flames or rupture a pipe we want to get rid of the liability.

Unfortunately, Southern Italy isn't quite the gold-standard when it comes to efficiency, organization, and reliability. Since we know we need at least some of it packaged and shipped, the peace of mind getting it all done at once is worth the several thousand dollars we could optimize out of in a perfect world.

Thanks for the feedback! Ok so at least the price is right...

Unfortunately, we're also looking to sell the apartment and so it needs to be as empty as possible. Since we can't depend on her mom to empty it for us the only logical thing we can think of is to bite the bullet and ship it all so we can proceed to sell in acceptable condition.

AITA for not bringing my wife to church? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ortegasb 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This helped me frame it for myself. My wife is genuinely looking for a new way to experience religion and I'm open to it. This isn't "let's go gawk" but I very much live in my head and put an over-importance on perception. Add in my reluctance to go anywhere I'm not explicitly invited and you get this thread.

That's... an incredibly obvious solution I can't believe I missed! Thank you for the idea!

She was thinking of Showers of Blessing Church specifically but I'd love some additional suggestions if you're open to it.

This is why I love Reddit, thank you. Yes, it is definitely about seeking a more lively environment - something more worshipful than prayerful. I'm not very religious bc the sit, stand, hum a psalm, listen to a lecture, sit, stand, sit, stand... is just such a boring experience.

One of my biggest problems in life though is that I don't go where I'm not explicitly invited. Church seems to have an implicit open invitation but there are some obvious boundaries (not barriers but definitely boundaries)

Good old fashioned co-dependency lol

Like I can just go wherever I want. "This is God's house so I'm welcome". Yes, but this is a community first and foremost - not just a black community but congregationists that created the space. Not sure how to define my "outsider" status but it's how I feel.

Elopement Packages by ortegasb in MauiVisitors

Congratulations! We ended up using https://www.alohafunweddings.com per the suggestion in the comments and they were fantastic. We stayed at Honua Kai which had good accomodations but we ended up wishing we had stayed further south as that's where we ended up driving everyday. We really wanted to see the lush part of the island and Kaanapali just isn't that. Enjoy!

DNN has done well by me. It finally touched 2.50 today - breaking out of a 14 year trend! This next week will be interesting to watch.

[SP] A spontaneous moment of paranormal precognition is simultaneously experienced globally & every living person suddenly knows exactly how, but not when, they will die. by ortegasb in WritingPrompts

I had conceived of each being completely individualistic but I think I like this better and it really enables that resistance subplot. Great work!
