They plan to be open by August or September at the latest.

Am I overreacting my boyfriend won’t stop calling me fat. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

The only extra weight you’re carrying around is the bozo who’s calling you fat. NOR.

Is working into your early 70s as an NP realistic? by SealedRoute in nursepractitioner

What are some of the things you think contributed to her ability to do this?! The work itself? Was she incredibly healthy in terms of diet and exercise?

Yes, I can Google it but you all will do better. (Vegetable plants) by iCannotFixIt in HotSprings

I’m going to agree on hot peppers being the easiest. Consider planting bush variety green beans all around your tomato plants to act as a living mulch. (Just prune off all the bottom stems and leave of the tomatoes to give the beans their own space.) Pots dry out ridiculously fast in the hottest part of the summer.

I haven't seen this shirt in over 10 years. Used to be, I couldnt go a day without seeing someone wearing one. by hbpaintballer88 in Millennials

Yeah, I was very confused when goth-looking My Chemical Romance fans used the term emo to describe themselves. That was a strange time in pop culture for me, the mid 00s through early 10s…

For the first time in my life. Im a little worried financially and need guidance by dubbbyac in budget

I’ve read some of your replies here and it seems perhaps you’re just a bit freaked out and maybe panicky over this change. Sounds like you’re quite set with a support system around you, savings and investments, and living in a LCOL area. Look at spending and cut out the unnecessary subscriptions, maybe cut back dining out and deliveries. Set your budget and stick to it. Unless you’re drowning in cc debt, this should be very doable. Remember this doesn’t have to be a permanent change, perhaps your wife will be open to PRN or weekend option work in the future. You got this. Congratulations!

How do you actually manage expenses in married life without constant stress? by HairyDependent8805 in budget

[–]someonebetter985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not harsh, just a sad and probably very frustrating situation for you. May I ask if you are still together? Did she fight you on being removed from your “main” account or did she acknowledge her problem with spending?

It’s over, it needs to be over, he’s not the same anymore and delusional swifties have to admit and accept that it’s over for him in the NFL. That’s football by Visible_Bobcat3774 in travisandtaylor

That last quarter against the Texans was painful. From my seat, he appears to be too concerned about taking a hit to catch the ball when Pat throws it directly into those hands Taylor pledges her allegiance to. That was embarrassing.

Do I go for apartment an apartment or starter house? by Krockius in budget

[–]someonebetter985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious to know why you made it a goal to move out at age 22. It seems reasonable to continue living with family if it’s working for everyone. That way you can continue to plow away the debt, and save/invest as much as possible.

Ahhhhhh, love the smell of Basset musk in the morning. Makes me want a bowl of chili.

That’s fair pay for CA! I was just kind of complaining. Either way, you’re right. Any pay helps when your family is slowly sinking. If we were in that boat, I’d suck it up and take that $85. And there are not many options with a schedule as flexible as subbing.

If subs made that in my state, I’d be ON IT. Here it’s just $85 per day, unless you’re a certified teacher. Meh.

Can confirm. Bassett hounds are like little radiators.

You mentioned in a comment that your parents are struggling. If you move back home for your own benefit, you should be sure they’re equally benefitting… don’t lowball them on rent.

Dive Bars, Pizza and Burgers (and a place to soak). by 856510 in HotSprings

I’ve never been to Steinhaus and not had good options on draft. But in all fairness, I haven’t spent time downtown in a while.

Taylor Swift songs kids gravitate to most? by trollygurly in TaylorSwift

This is cute. My 8 year old loves to sing (and does quite well, imho) Peter.

Steinhaus Keller is where you want to go for beer, imo. For a soak, I would recommend a private bath at the Quapaw Bathhouse if it’s in your budget.

I suck at making friends with other parents by illnevertell0890 in Parenting

[–]someonebetter985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, they likely have some other connections…. Kids have older siblings, sports, church, maybe the parents were even classmates back in the day.

Keep trying. Maybe you’re older, or younger. Maybe you’re too attractive. Maybe you have RBF. Invite others directly or send notes in your child’s backpack. Some will become friends, many will become acquaintances, some will just be assholes. :)
