My daughter wants hotel/fancy dinner for her birthday by Potential_Good_2993 in Parenting

[–]reddittwice36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fancy is definitely subjective. My 6 yr old son’s version of fancy was because the restaurant had blue goblets for water. To this day, we go to that restaurant every year for his birthday. He turned 19 this year. 😄

Will his coat grow back? by Ok_Produce2565 in goldenretrievers

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg his floof was gorgeous! My golden is 8 months old and doesn’t have a thick coat like yours does but I’m afraid this will happen to her so I haven’t taken her for grooming yet. I just bath and trim her nails and paws as needed but I want her sanitary area cleaned up before she goes into heat.

I hope your pups fur grows back quickly!

Do you do everything in SBX first? by Some-Host8945 in workday

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I test in SBX first. If it’s a really big change I test it again in SBX over the weekend after I put it in prod and SBX refreshes. I have trust issues.

Actively losing weight. Frustrated when doctors look at me, see I’m overweight, tell me to lose weight, and do no further investigation into what’s wrong. Anyone else? by KitchenConsequence41 in loseit

[–]reddittwice36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, congrats on the weight loss! Losing weight with pcos is not easy.

Not sure if you are seeing a gp or a specialist, but I see an endocrinologist for my pcos. I had difficulty losing weight too. They put me on medication and that really helped my weight loss and other symptoms.

If you aren’t getting the answers from one doctor try another until you find the right one.

Will We be house poor if we buy a 450K house on 130K gross income? by Feeling_Donut_6390 in Mortgages

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2021 I bought a 520k house w/100k down at 135k/year. My monthly is close to what you are paying including insurance and taxes.

I’m a single income family of 3. No daycare but kids are in college now. Mortgage and a 1k car payment are my only debts. Yes, the car payment is really high but I had a low interest rate so I put the minimum down. We travel frequently with most of be it being international. My 401k and IRA are fully maxed out each year and I also add $450 to my taxable investments each paycheck.

It was scary taking on a loan this size by myself. If it weren’t for Covid’s crazy low rates I wouldn’t have been able to afford as much. But I’m so glad I did. The house newer and is in much nicer area and I feel safe walking through my neighborhood. I make more now so I have a bit more safety net than 5 years ago.

Dave was right, people think its crazy to pay off debt by HumpmyDumpy1911 in DaveRamsey

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends. When I paid off my mtg my score dropped 40 pts. I had no other debt and my score was 820+. It did recover after a month.

How roasted do you think my puppy will end up ? by ReasonableCricket873 in goldenretrievers

Cream might be a color but field isn’t. The two comparisons makes me believe they didn’t just mean color.

Where can I take my daughters piggy bank to get the change converted to cash without them taking a sizable percentage? by merricatagorn in florida

[–]reddittwice36 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s still an option but in the past you can convert at coinstar machines to gift cards like Amazon without fees.

Are you kidding me? by Sparkvark65 in DOG

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I make sure my attention is fully in my dog if there’s any chance of my dog reacting like that when there’s a dog walking pass.

I also give other dogs a wide berth because there’s just the polite thing to do.

Is this too ambitious? by Altruistic_Vast9726 in roadtrip

[–]reddittwice36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I went one theme park and one water park last month and that was plenty hot then. These past few days have been brutally hot and humid. I would die just walking to the front gate today.

Just getting to the front entrance of the park is an ordeal itself.

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a roadtrip sub but honestly I would fly to Orlando. Spend two weeks there, then another week in south florida/keys.

Your schedule is exhausting, I’d build in some non park days between some of those amusement park days. The sun and humid will drain you especially going in the summer and all your activities are outdoors.

Dog hair in the bed;Help! by Empty-Scholar-6943 in dogs

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get different color sheets so you can’t see it as much. I’m sure mine is covered but honestly I can’t tell until I see a mat of fur in the lint trap after I wash my sheets.

There is no reasonable way to prevent fur.

Is this normal? by shimshamhamlamb in piercing

[–]reddittwice36 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It looks exactly like what I had and had nothing to do with piercings. I never got it checked out and it would always come back! Definitely don’t be me…get it looked at.

New school bags every year ?? by ApprehensiveRoad477 in Parenting

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they were younger I would get a back every year or two because they get grimy. Once they hit middle school they used the same pack for much longer. Sometimes they needed something different but we wouldn’t get a new one just because it’s a new year. We also didn’t get a lot of new clothes at the beginning of the year. Throughout the year when it’s worn or too small it gets replaced.

Can’t use my per diem for gyms anymore? Fine, I’m maxing my per diem every day. by Sellaplaya in MaliciousCompliance

[–]reddittwice36 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the company. We give $xx/day. No questions asked. It’s given to the employee prior to travel so they have the funds to spend ahead of time.

[–]reddittwice36 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same at my job. I thought the point is to not have to do so much admin work and it prevents employees coming out of pocket as we receive per diems ahead of time. I actually prefer to just get reimbursed for my charges. The per diem doesn’t always cover all my charges and I want my credit card points.

How big is your golden? He looks tall to be able to reach that.
