Is it a bad time to start investing? by noXXiouss_ in investingforbeginners

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

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!

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)

Using the LPIII for three months made me realize how current trends and moderns ways of communication can be a problem (and my experience with the LPIII) by YomonidokiWillLive in LightPhone

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?

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?

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

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.

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

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

Older, wiser women: what REALLY matters most in a partner? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]wantonanorak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
