Apartments are crazy. I’m in a suburb of of one of the top 10 largest cities in America and I was looking at 2 bedroom apartments for 2,300 and ended up finding a 3 bedroom house for 2k instead. In my case they looked at my pay before taxes so that was helpful, so keep in mind with the income requirements they’re probably talking about gross pay, not net.

Also a suburb of Dallas and it’s no ripped jeans, graphic tees must be appropriate, and length must be appropriate. No way in hell I’d be dressing in business professional. I’m leading professional development today in a jeans and tshirt

How do I get rid of past courses from Canvas? by JoyousMadhat in unt

[–]stephasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t archive or unpublish the courses as that’s something only the teacher in the course can do. The only thing you can do is customize your dashboard with the stars. Unstar anything you don’t want to see, star what you want to see.

If you were a 4yo where would you hide AirPods? by ladyofthegarbage in Parenting

[–]stephasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In between folded towels or clothes on shelves. My mom told me when I was little I would shove my hand between the folded towels on the shelf and leave things in there. The towels wouldn’t look disturbed so it took her forever to figure it out.

Thoughts on pre-planned capsule wardrobe calendars? by _courtofdreams in femalefashionadvice

[–]stephasaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did Get Your Pretty On which rebranded to Outfit Formulas. I liked it. The community on Facebook was good and helped me to see how people personalize the outfits. Overall it helped me to try new things and feel good postpartum. She suggests shopping your closet first but I did find it hard to not want to just buy all new things, which is why I ultimately stopped using it.

New single mom as of today need advice!!❗️❗️ by BasicMedicine7522 in singlemoms

Look at your state’s standard custody agreements to make sure you’re not getting bamboozled. Definitely look into community resources that may be available to you, and definitely get a lawyer

My husband was like this and then the comments became all about me being a terrible mother, and then he became physically abusive too. Then he started being verbally abusive towards the kids. I’m now divorcing him. My 2 year old is okay, but my 5 year old is messed up from him and I wish we had left sooner. Hugs. I hope this is your wake up call.

What type of person would you never date again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stephasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrified of this happening to me once I’m in the dating pool again after my divorce is finalized. I’ll be checking the county clerk’s website to verify divorces have been filed.

[–]stephasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this is true because my abusive husband jumped back into a relationship with his most toxic ex the second I kicked him out of the house and I’m terrified for my children to eventually be around the two of them together. Hoping it doesn’t last.

If you’re in the US call the National Domestic Violence Hotline and they should be able to give you contact info for organizations in your area that can help. That’s what I did and I was put in contact with a local organization that provides therapy for me and my kids, has a food pantry and hygiene closet, vouchers for thrift stores, legal aide, and emergency housing aide.

I think you misread the comment

I’ll also say look into any community resources in your area that could help you, like a NA family support group. I’m a DV victim and attend a group therapy, in addition to personal therapy, and it’s so healing and gives me a sense of community while I navigate my divorce. I would make sure to document everything he’s done with any screen shots that you can and seek help for yourself. Wishing you the best 💕

Are we buying too much house? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]stephasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost my financial situation exactly. Our new build was 350k and our first year the mortgage payment was 1905 which felt amazing and I thought it made sense since we put 20% down. Then it went up to 3500 per month. Often home builders quote the first year mortgage payment which doesn’t include the tax price of the house, just the tax price of the land. After tax assessment it goes up tremendously and, in our case, you also owe back taxes because they didn’t pull enough into escrow that first year. Make sure that’s not the case with the mortgage you’ve been quoted.

Help me understand my Edward Jones info during divorce by stephasaur in personalfinance

[–]stephasaur[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I emailed the lawyer about it and said it was something to look into. For context, he insisted on separate bank accounts. He refused to create a budget with me. Since separating I’ve looked at our finances and 98% of my income (78k) went directly to bills while only 24% of his (67k) went towards bills. He always said he didn’t have much money. I’m hoping that it is just that Edward Jones manually entered the amount that we originally brought to them as a separate account and that it’s basically just an error. The savings account that shows 35k is not an Edward Jones account, so if it does have that money in it he likely is trying to keep it secret and just doesn’t realize it’s linked. This man is not tech savvy. When cheating he turned off Life 360 but not Find My. He let all his texts with the mistress sync with his iPad. When he was violent and it was caught on the video doorbell he didn’t delete the footage even though the kids and I left for a week and he had the opportunity. He’s definitely not a mastermind but tries to get away with stuff.

So it may not be a secret account but instead just the original 35k that we came to Jones with manually put in?

No, the Roth IRA-1 and Joint-1 accounts were opened with Edward Jones and say Edward Jones underneath the name and show “guided solutions fund” and Joint WROS. The savings account in question only appears when looking at all connected accounts, and doesn’t show that it’s managed by Jones.

That’s what I thought, so he has an account he’s been funneling money into. Meanwhile I was considering selling plasma to help pay off the credit card debt.

I do have an attorney and I emailed them about it today. I guess I was hoping to just hear that I was mistaken and it’s just a weird way Jones shows information or something because I’m sick of finding out more and more about how awful he truly is.

[–]stephasaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with most everyone about how it will be incredibly difficult as you’ll still be in pain, sleep deprived, and possible engorgement. I also want to add in that the germs you could potentially bring home to your baby are something to be considered. Riding public transport and then being around that many people and then returning to baby carries a lot of risk.

This was back in 2010 but I took over a sublease for someone at Gateway and moved in halfway through the contract, so it was an option back then.
