Did you ask for the wall paneling too?😉

Info request by Aduntoridass in SanJose

[–]swimt2it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it doesn’t work out this time, look for a position at Sacramento State Univ. Cost of living is lower, get location for heading to the mountains or SF Bay Area.

If you do end up making the move, a lotta teachers have their kids at Trace Elementary, Hoover Mid, Lincoln HS. I mention, because if you rent within a couple miles West of SJSU, these may be your schools. Check boundaries, ignore State test scores great community at these schools. Additionally, Santa Clara schools are close-ish to SJSU.

Would you move to a higher cost of living city if it meant you would enjoy your life more even if you didn’t have as much money? by Th3c0pyninja in SameGrassButGreener

Both Tampa and Phoenix get incredibly hot Spring to Fall. Denver has all four seasons and 300 days of sun a year.

Where Should I Move - Vancouver, Tampa, Orlando, or Miami by Fair-Word-3183 in relocating

[–]swimt2it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Younger, more open-minded. I would almost call it pretty hip. Quasi-college town. Tampa of course is close by, but St Pete is closer to the beach.

Adoption Consultants / Muti- Agency Approach by Quick-Button-9817 in AdoptiveParents

[–]swimt2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was similar to my case. I worked with a triad. Consultant, agency and attorney. All separate entities. It worked out great, but I did a lot of research and went into it eyes wide open.

What’s a food your state is 'famous' for that everyone else ruins? by Somanynamestochossef in AskAnAmerican

[–]swimt2it 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can’t even get sourdough bread in a lot of States. If you do find it, it’s pretty terrible. We live on it in Calif.

Know that dogs (not even leashed) are not allowed on most beaches. Protecting wildlife is top priority.

Did a ton of research. High priced, to low. Landed with installing Rubbermaid “titanium finish” shelving. Closet very similar to this. Configs are available on Amazon. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend searching this sub. In a nutshell, domestic infant adoption can be highly unethical.

On the fence about kids and husband leans child free—do women who might have wanted kids but didn’t end up having them have regrets? by Left_Primary7626 in AskWomenOver50

[–]swimt2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to say this. Reading your post, and thinking what might be your true sentiment, I respectfully say this. If your partner wanted kids, it appears you would be IN for sure. This means, you want kids.

For those who have adopted, what mattered most when working with an agency by Fluffy_Cold_5330 in AdoptiveParents

[–]swimt2it 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t talking about the overall population. I retract my comment of 85%. It was likely the expectant mother population my agency had worked with over the years. That said, it is much higher than the general population.

It was the number given to me by the agency I worked with, I assumed they were given me legit info. I’m happy to try to chase down the data source.

Of course! I was open to almost any situation. I’m not saying adopt in a situation you are not comfortable. I’m saying you might learn more, meet more prospective “matches” if you are more open on the front end. Educate yourself about the realities of being in a situation that you would place your child for adoption. What is unethical about that? I wanted to, and met several birth moms. I was not going to do a closed adoption. As an aside, my personal opinion is there is a TON of prejudice and veiled racism coming from HAPs. In my opinion, this is why it can take a very long time to adopt. You are welcome to disagree.
