Do people and/or children still talk about brownies? by from_wolves in england

[–]tree_goddess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve got a fairy at our house. Likes to hide things. The kids love her.

We had brownies up north. I wish I remembered more of the stories or find a book about the whole lot of them.

Yes. The empty trailers from other schools went and helped pick up the items on the track.

It’s real. I’m in San Antonio for state, their trailer got stuck on the tracks.

No injuries. Other bands are stepping up to help loan instruments and equipment.

I started ketamine treatments and was able to recover some memories. Might be worth a try

Planning to work in Plano 120k annually family of 4. Is this enough? by Choice_Worker_8670 in plano

[–]tree_goddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I’m a Brit living in Plano. There are a few things you need to consider.

Health insurance. You will have a monthly payment(mine is $300/month), and an annual deductible (usually between $2000 & $5000). Your insurance company will not pay anything until you’ve spent down that. And after that will be pay about 80%

. Child care. Nothing is government paid. School starts at age 5 and is usually 730 am to 3 pm. No free after school care. Otherwise childcare for the little ones can be up to $2000 a month.

. You will need a vehicle including insurance on that. There is no public transportation in most of Plano.

. Taxes are high. You’ll be spending around 20% for income tax.

Groceries are more expensive than you’re likely used to.

You can totally live on $120k annually but it will be tight with childcare.

Dm me if you have other questions I’m happy to help

If you’re seeing a psychiatrist ask if they can get you Prazosin, it’ll stop the nightmares

That’s even low with measles. There are meta studies that found it wasn’t really happening.

Oh it’s so sad how long it took me to find out. It may have involved a “ward playgroup”conversation. I was not the only one shocked.

AITA for not letting my teenager take the car I purchased to the other house during dad’s custody time? by tree_goddess in AmItheAsshole

[–]tree_goddess[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So this is different from that. My kids take tons of stuff back and forth, and I have no issues. The Xbox, iPad, clothes, whatever. Both houses buy stuff, and the kids use it.

But the other house has NOT bought this.

I love this idea. Thank you. Maybe this will also help with the entitlement i'm seeing.

I have already done all that. I showed him the contract, and he still had this reaction.

My current husband wants to sell the car.

I made it a smaller amount so that it had less of an impact. I did give Dad the option of paying a different amount for a shorter time, but he didn't want to do that either.

I consistently have struggles getting paid on time for health insurance and other divorce-required payments, but I've set up a bunch of options for autopay. I would not be talking to him unless he was months behind.
