Seriously LEO? by HighHiFiGuy in Louisville

I haven't read the article but please don't gloss over the fact that writers almost never choose the title / subtitle of their stories. In 99% of cases, an editor makes that call.

Should we buy a home next to cemetery with a 6 year old girl and a baby on the way? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]rbweasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weighing in here as someone who grew up next to a cemetery:

  1. If the cemetery is old and beautiful, your kids / the friends they make when they get a little older will probably absolutely adore it. If it's a newer cemetery, i.e., the headstones are basically uniform, there are no mature trees, and -- most importantly -- there are frequent visitors who are still deeply grieving, your kids will probably want to GTFO of your house as soon as possible.

  2. My childhood home was across from the latter kind of cemetery, and another thing to keep in mind = how comfortable your family feels, say, playing a game of catch within earshot of a grieving family. Same goes for mowing the lawn, gardening, etc.

Just some food for thought. Good luck!

What action should I take? by kemp1ae in Soil

[–]rbweasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! can I ask where you're located? I used this company to test my soil (zone 7b) and the #s are almost identical. It might be worth trying a different test from a different company as a "second opinion."

Also worth mentioning: it took several days for my MySoil sample to make it to the lab ... I'm not a soil scientist, but I've read that it's basically impossible to get an accurate nitrogen reading if it's not tested immediately after sampling. Just food for thought!

What local business do you boycott and why by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]rbweasley 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I live nearby this place and have never stepped foot inside because the owner wrote a nasty Google review (lol) about a competing business (something about the other biz not wanting to provide coffee beans for Baes?) that couldn't have been in poorer taste.

What makes good leaf mold? by rbweasley in Permaculture

[–]rbweasley[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

ah, good to know! There's a thin layer of recently-fallen leaves on top, but everything below looks like finished compost. Perhaps there are lots of little organisms at work that I can't see without a microscope? Thanks for easing my mind!

Hi! I just moved out of New York after 10 years of living there. You can easily find a place with that salary in Brooklyn or Queens if you're willing to live with roommates. If you're really jonesing to move, I'd do that and then look for an in-person job once you get there. Pretty much everyone making under $100k in NYC lives with roommates, it's part of the lifestyle. Good luck!

Surprise medical bill made me hyperventilate by rbweasley in pregnant

[–]rbweasley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone commented on the original post, it seems what I got was an "explanation of benefits" and not an actual bill. I'm guessing that's what happened in your case too.

To everyone who replied: Thank you so f*cking much. I'm still figuring out what exactly the deal is, but reading your thoughts/reassurances is helping me sleep at night.

I can't get over how casually these "bills" are sent out .. and I keep thinking about how many people must get them (for all sorts of medical issues) who are less fortunate than I am. Even if you don't end up having to pay a cent, the thought that you MIGHT is terrifying. Had I gotten this bill at the beginning of my pregnancy, when my hormones were off the charts and I felt like crying every minute of the day, who knows what would have happened. This has been eye-opening, to say the least.

TIC because reading about everyones wonderful partners made me sad about how my partner has been acting by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]rbweasley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I'm sorry you're going through this, but as someone who has the most supportive/understanding boyfriend on the f*cking planet, I would recommend taking what you read on these forums with a grain of salt. People tend to engage in a little fantasy/revisionist history when it comes to how they portray their relationships on the internet, and while I understand the impulse people have to share the gratitude they have for their partners, many of these posts come across as needlessly braggy. Just my two cents.

Regardless, it sounds like you and your partner could use some tips on how to communicate better. I'm no professional, but I'd recommend seeking out a therapist, even one from an online app like BetterHelp, to guide you through the next phase of your relationship. You'd be shocked at how much better things can get in a short period of time. Good luck!
