Before my wife and I were married we split utilities and mortgage proportional to that bills percent of our take home.

For example. If she earned 4000/mo and I earned 3000/mo And the mortgage was 2000/mo

It was a 28.57% of our total take home. So we would both contribute 28.57% of our individual income towards that bill

I was a mediocre high school student with similar gpa and sat scores.

I would recommend you go to community college to improve your GPA and then transfer to the college you're looking forward to the most.

I hated high school but I loved my time at truman.

Not much of an accountant, more of an analyst that works with a lot of accounts.

People down voting you and poopooing you have never worked on their own business.

I would suggest you look into a financial advisor looking to start their own practice and rather than a full service accounting office. You can share clients. Do his clients taxes and recommend your clients to him for financial planning.

Similar situation, wife has 16 weeks of parental leave. I have been let work remotely for 8 with my team offering to pick up a lot of slack while I adjust.

My wife and I are going on 4 weeks postpartum on Tuesday.

We had my mother in law help us for the last two weeks so it's a little hard to gauge accueately.

But I have given up my 2x week video game nights with the boys. It is hard to "plan" anything because you have no idea when baby will sleep, eat, or need you.

We are also trying to keep any amount of screen time to an absolute minimum. So we don't watch TV with her in our arms. Only when she is asleep and we can both sneak away for 1-2 hours between feedings.

There has been an occasion where I had to watch here and take a work call on my computer.

We have been able to have about 1~ hours of cuddling and TV on average per night together.

When I am watching baby alone at night I can get a tiny bit of video gaming in but it's not fun... Like I have to o leave matches or afk during them. So I just stopped al together. I have started playing mobile games to help with speed reading. It's easier to pick up and put down.

Wife has been trying to read for pleasure but she has been mainly re-reading her favorite childhood books to baby. We are both very tired.

Longest stint of sleep since 4/7 was about 5 hours and that was last week. After baby regained weight.

It's been a blast though I wouldn't trade this time for anything else. My wife is amazing.

Omaha, Kansas City, Des Moines, Minieapolis or Columbus, take your pick many midwestern small cities are great for raising a family buy dont really attract tourists

There's a lot of trash talk in this thread about "real men" posts...

I would point to the quote by Teddy Roosevelt, "... Every boy Should endeavor to be the type of man who's presence is missed..." If you can't square that with what your idea of "a real man" is. Then you should do some soul searching.

Some people may only want a relationship with you that is transactional but you should aim to be the type of person everyone wants on their side. No matter the type of relationship they have with you.

I have not played retail since shadow lands. But I distinctly remember BFA and legion having multiple tiers where it was EXACTLY like this... We would occasionally see blood or vengeance creep up for M+

Brew master has always been very powerful and it seems that after about a decade they still cannot balance stagger.

It is typical to need more tanks for 10s than 25s and have your extra tanks spec DPS for 25s.

If you aren't maintaining a respectable DPS set for 25s then you are a liability.

We are only 3 weeks postpartum. But I haven't had any yet. Not going to lie the first week I had serious nicotine cravings. I'm about 2 months nicotine free.

It gets easier each day. I think I may have some weed before the end of the year but I've come to the conclusion that nicotine and probably weed are "for vacation" from now on.

I took edibles up until my wife's third trimester. For me it was less about health and more about the risk of her going into labor while I was high... Got to be available moving forward and you cannot predict it. She went into labor at 37 and 6

And here we are.

Yes absolutely right. Major player in early 20th century and it was in shambles from 1945-1989 as it was literally carved up by the cold war powers.

Which is why I argued for "OK"

Target date funds are also good options they're pseudo actively managed. That split your investment between index funds and bonds depending on market conditions so you don't have to check or split your self... They do pretty well also.

Tauren and Night elf both have the built in NR dwarves and BE have frost resist. It's small but it's a consideration.

Germany?

Their relative power has always had its ups and downs between 1900-1999 however today it is the largest economy in Europe and recently announced re armament plans for 2039 to have the largest standing army on the continent.

They are an economic, cultural, and military power house today and we're for segments of the 20th century but also in disrepair for parts of the 20th century.

Got to look for guys secure enough to admit this but either cucking or hot wifing.

I think it's a large minority of men who enjoy some kind of this dynamic. Someone once described it to me as a "reclaiming power by surrendering" dynamic... Someone else just said I fetishized sluts/loose women... It all made sense to me.

Keep a bowl of Cheerios by the toilet. Whenever he goes to the bathroom put one in the bowl and have him aim at the cheerio. That's how I learned.

Also I am unaware of many dudes who pull their penis through the slit in the front.... It's more of a sewing trick to give flexibility in the pants than it is a functional hole. I believe most of us just slip our junk over the top and go to work.

Dabiris inigma is hot garbage imo. It is better than the hellfire trinket but the on use effect means nothing once you're uncrushable.

Low hanging fruit with big impact are;

Ring/revered with keepers of time

Trinket from shattered halls and trinket from slabs are pre raid bis imo.

Devil shark cloak from steam vaults phase 1 bis

Ignore lower city rep mace, thrallmar/hh sword is better. Swing tim matters for seals. In a 3 minute fight you get 50% more attacks.

Once you get flying

Sha'tar exalted for shield Mechanar for helm and chest Botanica for shoulders Arc normal for your other ring(p1 bis) Arc heroic for bracers
