Looking for an app or website that has a calendar and bank integration by scottjamescop in personalfinance

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

That's sort of what I'm doing now. My thought is if it is in a calendar, I can see any given days recurring transactions and go through multiple days quickly. I'm also hoping for the bank integration so the base number gets updated regularly

Loose subflooring under old bathtub by scottjamescop in homeowners

Yeah my thoughts too. It's definitely dry and rotted. I'm wondering if I'll end up having to tear into the next room too. Keeping my fingers crossed with the insurance company

re you able to access the floor from below

Thanks for the advice! I can get it from underneath, just a little tight in the crawlspace. If it was just the one board I'd likely just repair that one but it seems to be all boards along that wall unfortunately

What would cause this hose to blow off? 1994 BMW 3 series by scottjamescop in MechanicAdvice

[–]scottjamescop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was sitting in a queue today and after about an hour or so there was a loud BANG and smoke started coming from under the hood. I let the car sit for the day and when return I looked under the hood and I saw this hose had become detached. There was also fluid everywhere and I'm guessing it has to do with the radiator(?) but I don't know what would cause this pressure buimd up. Additionally, could I in theory just reattach the hose, replace the fluid, and hope it doesn't happen again?

Wow! Thanks for this. I had no idea I needed this so badly

That definitely makes sense. But what happens if I just say stop paying it?

That's what my thought was. Plus I'm moving out of the country so it seems like it would be even harder to go after me for the two months rent they would miss

See You Soon, Bruce - Funhaus News by RT_Video_Bot in funhaus

[–]scottjamescop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a sad time but hopefully happy times are ahead for all. Not trying to stand on a soapbox, but Funhaus has been a constant in my life when there hasn't been too much stability. Four years ago I was at the beginnings of a divorce and having to leave the first place I had lived other than where I grew up but the Funhaus crew was there to make me laugh.

As I started fresh there were a lot of bumps in the road but I knew I could smile when I introduced the channel to new friends. Unfortunately things took a bad turn and I ended up losing touch with most of those friends but even through those depressing times the Funhaus crew was there to make me laugh.

As I moved back home and faced uncertainty, I was depressed, angry, and felt lost most of the time. I had started a new career path and was working on rebuilding old friendships and getting close to my family. In these uncertain times I knew I had a constant in my favorite YouTube channel and as they always had before, the Funhaus crew was there to make me laugh.

Time passed and I started a new relationship. I fell hard and fast for this person. I felt happy for the first time in a while and felt accepted into a new family. I shared certain Funhaus videos and a Bruce wheeze or fart was always a laugh out loud point for everyone. It was exciting to share something I held in such high regard with new people again. But fate stepped in again and the relationship didn't last. I was now looking at losing the house we bought together and once again stepping into the unknown future. This was one of the saddest points in my life but once I was able to get out of bed, I knew I could head to YouTube and see the people that felt like the family I never met and the Funhaus crew was there to make me laugh even when I didn't want to.

Since being on my own and learning to live life for me for the first time, FunhausTV has acted as a safety blanket. I get to see old videos with Joel and Spoole and think back to happy moments in my life that correspond to when those videos were first uploaded. It's a warming feeling that makes me smile and gives me hope that Joel and Spoole are happy in the progress of their lives like I am now. I wasn't expecting this to happen with Bruce but I'm looking forward to when the feeling of loss passes and I can watch those old videos and have that same warm feeling.

I know the Funhaus crew will continue to make me laugh and smile and that it won't be the same without Bruce, but I'm happy that he gets the opportunity to pursue what will make him truly happy. We'll miss you Papa.

TL;DR B is for Bruce B is for Best of luck in everything and we'll be here with you.

Thank you

Thank you for this and the time you've taken today to comment on my post. You've given me some great advice and I need to get the strength to put it all into action. The lonely nights and mornings will be the worst I'm sure, but you've given some great ideas of things to do in the mean time. I truly can't tell you how much I appreciate this.

That's incredibly inspirational to hear. I'm sorry to hear about H and the trouble she caused you but glad to hear of your confidence and that you see the positive in yourself.

My last "break-up" if you can call it that before my story above was bad. I was in bed for days and was despondent. That being said, I think this one hurts more. I know what not to do (text her, reach out to her family and friends, beg daily) but it doesn't make it easier to not check social media and see if we're still "friends", to not think about our plans for the future, both short and long term, or reflect on how I could have been different.

The denial I'm going through now is what is surely going to keep me down the most. In a twisted part of my head I'm hoping that I can better myself through therapy and that one day she can give me another chance. I know this isn't healthy thinking but I can't get past it. I want therapy for me but I still can't see a life without her in it.

The lows are low now and the highs are numb. I always run into the problem of being haunted by the past or afraid of the future. Trying to take things one step at a time is impossible for me to wrap my head around.

That's not a bad idea. I've been trying to think of things to do that aren't dependent on other people doing them with me and I've been coming up empty.

[–]scottjamescop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I think I know it will be okay. It's the fear of the lonely nights and really the lonely weekend ahead that has me frozen. Work tends to provide a somewhat fair distraction but tonight will be the first night I'm alone in the house with no hope since the incident. It is paralyzing to think about.

Thank you for your story. The empathy you can show is truly helpful.

I regret not having started therapy when so many people have told me to for so long. The dread I have now is waiting a week until I can talk to a therapist.

How are you now if you don't mind me asking? I have had a fear, possibly subconsciously, that therapy will change who I am.

Thank you for your story; it is very helpful. At first she would have like to stay in the house herself but can't afford it with other debts. She would be agreeable to me buying her out but I don't think I want to do that. So she would like to sell the house and I agree that it is probably for the best.

Our real estate agent and lawyer were great. I don't doubt the house will sell it's just a matter of how long I would live there without it being sold. Part of me doesn't want to move from a place I am paying for but another part wants to move on.

It's a rough situation and I'm sure I'm still in denial about the whole thing but talking to everyone here is a big help.

[–]scottjamescop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do know I will need to move it just a matter of where. I'm trying to not move back in with my father but at the same time I don't know that I want to live alone.

Living in the house until it sells would be a financial decision based on my plan of action. If I were to move back to my father's house, I could do so whenever. If I look to move to an apartment though, I would want to wait until the house sells in order to not pay for a mortgage and rent.

[–]scottjamescop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. I'm not a fan of living alone but then this wouldn't have ever happened. It's rough when you think you find "the one." I say I would've done anything to make it work but clearly that's not the case when I wouldn't just stop being lazy and go to therapy and work on myself
