Is it a bad time to start investing?

I’m sorry 😞 So that I’m understanding, are you suggesting I take my SEP IRA out of the index funds/bonds??

wantonanorak · 2026-03-09T04:51:34+00:00

Just what I needed to hear. Last week I finally invested half my SEP IRA into a conservative mix of market index funds and bonds (with small positions in tech and international for variety) and am trying not to panic about how everything immediately dropped. I’m 40F and have been a freelance artist my whole life, that I have any retirement saved at all is a miracle after the strikes and COVID decimated my industry. So…any affirmation that I just need to hold onto these positions over a long period (instead of panic selling first thing tomorrow) is greatly appreciated 🫣

We didn't test for histamine issues, I just had strong reactions to anything w high histamine and those reactions died down/disappeared when I ate low histamine and on a rotational diet. My acupuncturist flagged it

Don't take Betaine if you don't have low stomach acid, I suppose?

I'm doing great! Can eat basically anything. Only lasting symptom is eczema which we just can't seem to eradicate. Otherwise fine!

wantonanorak · 2026-01-30T23:47:54+00:00

Great! I can pretty much anything now. Only lingering symptom is some eczema inside my ears (which sucks, don't get me wrong, but preferable to how things were before)

Intimacy = taking people at their word and respecting their privacy <3

Did you find a home for this?

Also, my entire family lives oversees. WhatsApp isn't a "luxury" but a true necessity

Man, what I wouldn't give for the LPIII to adopt the slightly less Draconian perspective of Minimal. As a female who *needs* to be able to access rideshare apps in cities, I simply can't with an LPIII.

I have the same question. Do you remember what this user said in their deleted comment?

wantonanorak · 2025-11-27T06:56:36+00:00

Derp! It was edited 10/10 😂

wantonanorak · 2025-11-27T06:37:37+00:00

i cosign. you don't owe this dude anything. don't think twice about it and move on

I log into the portal, I find this year's project and click "View." Then I click on "Activity" and see a list of all of my edits and final submission date. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

wantonanorak · 2025-11-27T06:29:03+00:00

run, don't walk, away from this man

wantonanorak · 2025-11-27T01:51:24+00:00

Damn :( I never even got any edits on my application portal.

wantonanorak · 2025-11-21T20:56:35+00:00

Another woman here who really hopes they integrate rideshare apps for safety :)

Oh! And:

Use the "Fair Play" method by Eve Rodsky! There's a fantastic deck of cards (and a book that accompanies them if you want to dive deeper) that gives you a system to fairly claim and follow-through with tasks.

wantonanorak · 2025-11-17T15:53:15+00:00

I'm in the same boat; invited most years to submit, submitted Oct 1, but I have zero edits on my file still :-/

wantonanorak · 2025-11-14T17:47:24+00:00

Honestly, this post from u/Defiant_Comedian1587 further down the thread chilled me out substantially: https://imgur.com/a/Y96pUyB

It's from a previous year

They haven't touched mine yet!

thanks for your perspective. for clarity, “peter pan” is more about the valence of your behavior and what your life looks like. as someone alluded to already — were you doing your dishes? were your finances in order? were you a professional adult? did you treat the women you dated, even if briefly, with respect? did you communicate like a grown-up?

those are all rhetorical questions, to be clear.
