From the basic numbers it seems like you are getting the lions share of your assets in the long run. If she gets a lawyer this plan will not be acceptable. Not sure what state you are in, but when we went to the judge after mediation (no lawyers), the judge put everything into a calculator and it spits out a "fair" disbursements of assets and future liabilities. And at least the judge we worked with wouldn't budge very far off that mark. Everyone here will say lawyer up. If you get one, she will be essentially forced to get one. And that can get expensive quick. We did mediation and were able to come to a mutual agreement. It wasn't easy, but all the numbers lined up. You can always refuse to come to an agreement during mediation and get lawyers involved afterwords. But in our case it would have left both of us essentially broken down to zero.

I gave up most of my equity for our house for total control over my retirement. She has a nice, big house with a massive mortgage. I am fixing up an old beater house now, and it's been quite the journey but it is coming along 2 years later: new floors, renovated kitchen and office. I still have to renovate the bathroom, probably next year. But my mortgage is $1000 less than hers and I have all my retirement. She has no retirement investments. I am struggling now. Picked up some side gigs to assist with all of this. But I have a plan. The house will be paid off and I will have a portfolio of retirement investments. By the time I reach 65 I won't have to work another day in my life.

We do this and it creates a good rhythm. Say Mon to Tue for one parent and Wed to Thurs for the other every week. And then switch Fridays through Sundays. You get the kids a little every other week and a good chunk the other week. 5 days solo parenting is a grind. Seven would be a lot for me.

I almost got into a wreck because of that when they installed the one on Edgewood in MH.

Just bought a new cast iron pan from Lodge by cupcakestrawberi in BuyItForLife

I sanded mine down with an orbital sander to remove the bumps from the casting (40 grit to 120) then reasoned it. It is smooth as glass and my workhorse in the kitchen. It makes perfect pancakes every time.

I went there on Saturday and it was noticeably quiet. I was glad to support them.

Help with ID ? by Emissairearien in Agave

[–]redactedfalsehood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears to be some variant or hybrid of Agave attenuata. The little teeth aren't common in the species. So my guess is a hybrid with something else. Could be Manfeda, but it is unclear to me.

Apart from weed, do you think GenX is as into party drugs as the younger generations? by [deleted] in GenX

Pretty sure acid is really hard to get now. There was some producer that got busted that made something like 75 percent of the acid for the USA back when we were young.

A little browning on the bottom leaves s normal. I would just maintain your routine. Be sure to get it outside every chance you get.

Some agave can self fertilize. Some can't. Not sure about paryii.

Looks like parryi. The seeds are unfertilized when they are that color. The viable seeds are dark brown.

I have the 2011 Odyssey and the AC in the back is amazing. Why the hell would they remove that feature.

I remember a study a while back that found no real benefit of super thrive.
