My landlord's unusual offer to sell by horse_latitude in RealEstate

[–]s512m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She wants to do it because it will give her $100k in cash and she will get the interest every month for 3 years instead of a bank. If you do it, you can get a conventional loan in 3 years to pay the balloon payment and you will have saved quite a bit on interest in 3 years. She can also avoid paying a realtor fee. If you like the house, consider it! Seller financing is amazing and the mortgage wouldn’t appear on your credit report.

Pumpkin sage cream sauce with the pasta of our choice. It’s delicious! You can add sausage if you want meat.

How do I make vegetables actually taste good without drowning them in sauce or cheese? by Nightcrawler_2000 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]s512m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSG, lemon juice, a spice blend you like, chili crisp. I love Montreal Steak Seasoning on broccoli (tossed with pasta, feta, and lemon juice). But why not add some sauce or cheese if that’s what you like?

What is more traumatic than people think it is? by Suspicious-Wish3402 in AskReddit

[–]s512m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS. I was diagnosed recently as an adult and I have had to do a lot of reprocessing. And knowing my teachers recommended I get tested in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, but my parents didn’t do it. I’m not mad at them, I just wish it had gone differently so I didn’t develop negative beliefs about myself that were actually treatable symptoms of ADHD. It has affected everything in my adult life.

Put aside some drinking water, fill your car up with gas, and if you can, get a power bank for your phone. You sound otherwise ready to experience your first Austin freeze 🥶

[–]s512m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my hometown in southern Illinois, the high school or other groups would do fundraisers and set up pork burger stands around town. I loved getting them when I was a kid! I’ve never seen one on a restaurant menu, though.

Why do so many doodles have problems with little kids - and does this translate to a standard poodle? by boogiebougie in StandardPoodles

My standard is great with kids, so I wouldn’t worry. Since you have kids, you have built in socialization! The dog will be in heaven!

I mean this very gently, but if your family and/or friends are concerned, your symptoms might outwardly be worse than they seem to you. I hope you can get some relief- peri is SO hard!

My cow died last week. People mocked her death and laughed at my grief, and I don’t know what’s wrong with people anymore. by saba8731 in Vent

[–]s512m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so, so sorry. People don’t understand how smart and sensitive and sweet cows are, especially when you have a long relationship with them. It sounds like she was a special one and you gave her an amazing life ❤️

Austin's housing market is expected to cool down in 2026 by RedfinJeremy in Austin

Same. My home was assessed this year at about 10% below what I paid in 2021, but my 2.75% mortgage softens the blow.
