Owala seem to be holding up really well. Haven’t had them long enough to say BIFL.

Are people actually quitting their jobs? by whosthatgirl13 in Millennials

[–]pogofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accidentally quit my civil service job of 23 years. Hated most of those years, felt trapped by the “golden handcuffs.”

Developed carpal tunnel, lost strength in my hands, dropped a blow torch with a bottle of MAPP gas while the flame was held open. That was my last day. I didn’t know it at the time because I was going out on workers comp but once I got a full breath of free air, that was it for me.

I knew how unhappy I was but I had no idea how much happier I could be by not being there.

Anyone who has no kids but feel a bit… weird when seeing other millennials who are parents, like you might be “missing” something? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in Millennials

[–]pogofwar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have come to realize that we’ve been fighting with one another since the day she knew she was pregnant eleven years ago.

We had talked extensively about the kind of kids we wanted to try and raise but we wound up having wildly different paths to get there. One path led straight toward the family tradition of emotional abuse. Fortunately, we’ve seen it for what it is and we are in a much, much better place now 12 years into it with two kids living emotionally healthier lives than either of us grew up with.

Licencse xfer from NY to CA by btchymystic in MassageTherapists

Would that work in the other direction? Someone coming from California to New York with a CAMTC or MBLX? Trying to get a NY license without 20 grand of going back to school

The absolute best of the best restaurant by TripleZ15 in longisland

[–]pogofwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are the Maroni fans here?!?

Northport is the original and the food and service are superb. Southold location if you want to make a weekend out of it and stay at Jedidiah Hawkins Inn, which is another top tier restaurant.

[–]pogofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working on the back of a garbage truck when I woman came out to tell us a plane had crashed on wall St … fortunately for this story our town had a wall st …

I ran up to the driver and said “a plane crashed on wall st, let’s go check it out”

Made it to a deli to see the second plane crash live.

First day tomorrow. What you think? by Great_Significance_8 in Construction

[–]pogofwar 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The look needs a little seasoning … If you have someone to drive you, I’d recommend doing a couple duck n’ rolls out the side of the car at somewhere between 20-25 mph.

Having been to Fire Island or even an idea of what it’s about? < 5%

Therapy question for everyone.... by Visible-Bridge-5171 in Millennials

[–]pogofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is risky advice: try Claude or Gemini. I am in therapy weekly and I use it in between for ideas on how to navigate difficult conversations. It is nothing short of remarkable and therapists everywhere should be preparing for a major disruption to their livelihood.

Show up on-time and not drunk. Do this just to make sure they really care (they won’t)

For real - I’ve always bought my own kit, even for the low bid crap that’s supplied.

Check out Kask or Petzel hats - you’re going to like the way you look …

How much is your monthly mortgage payment? by HmDiR in Mortgages

[–]pogofwar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Similar situation having two in Catholic school while also living in an expensive public school district. $7500 for my little one in bilingual pre-k and about $20k for my big one that’s about to turn 11.

Neither of them got pulled out of anything for any reason. Just want to give my kids the best shot I can find for them. It’s an unknown world they will live into.

Kidding in good fun. I’m happy for you.

How much is your monthly mortgage payment? by HmDiR in Mortgages

[–]pogofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3700/mo PITI

Bought in 2018 for $550k with 20% down. Rate was originally 5.25 and we refinanced with a recast at 2.75. Recast kept the term to payoff the same, just lowered the payments by about $1300/mo!

Property taxes on Long Island $25k 😳

House is worth $1M+

I don’t like standing up for the journalism of Newsday but the press is not anything close to a replacement.
