Yeah but you can do all of those things, do everything right by the book, see all the experts and STILL have a baby that won’t latch. There’s nothing more frustrating than putting your heart and soul into trying to breastfeed, destroying your nipples in the process, and having someone tell you that you didn’t try hard enough or you didn’t do the right thing in the first 24 hours.
There is also a lot of contradictory advice. Many doctors/nurses/lactation consultants tell moms the exact opposite of what they should do. Things like holding the head, leaving space between the baby and the breast, etc which will really get in the way of a good latch.
The city is called San Francisco (or Seattle, New York, Boston, Denver, Washington DC). 300k/year jobs are dime a dozen - I'd estimate 1M-2M such jobs in the USA.
Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places, but IMO this is not true of San Francisco. The “default” salary here for a run of the mill software dev is more like $150k. $175k is quite normal and pretty easy to negotiate yourself into. There are a lot of companies who will balk at $200k base. They’ll only pay that to a handful of devs who have a proven track record as a Lead.
It’s noble that you see him as someone who deserves to have someone who loves him and cares for him and sees him as a good man, despite his challenges. That’s beautiful and it’s clear you’re proud of that caring side of yourself. And you should be.
You may be interested in anarchism. It has the reputation of being about burning cars and stuff, but really it’s just a governance model that works without money or rulers.
I have to imagine she started seeing signs of her husbands personality coming out in Tom, saw how normalized that form of manhood was to her daughters, and she realized she had to GTFO if she didn’t want end up with two little piece of shit sons.
That's just suicide with extra steps. If she doesn't believe in divorce for religious reasons, wait till she hears how God supposedly feels about suicide....
Nah… it’s not suicide. Suicide requires something proactive. This is just letting yourself die. A lot of people let themselves die all the time. There’s no requirement that you have to “fight X hard to stay alive”. Sometimes people just don’t fight it.
I just read through a bunch of Bible passages regarding sexual immorality… I’m not seeing anything specifically about abstinence. Adultery, yes. And it mentions “lust” a bunch of times but how do we know what “lust” refers to? Would we have to go to historical information and original translations from the time?
There are a couple things I own that I use at every job and have a personal license for: Sublime Text, Gifox, Acorn. I use them for side projects too. It’s too much of a hassle to re-purchase every time I switch jobs. I consider the cost of a few small pieces of software like this a reasonable personal business expense, in with office clothes or a home office.
Just closed on my first home a couple weeks ago. Am 43, and it’s a 30-year so I’ll be makin’ that last payment at 73! Or later since we’re almost certainly going to be refinancing a few times in the next few years.
If half of what you say is true, rejecting Nick because you can't stand his wife , risks only leading him to isolate himself even more and be completely at the mercy of his wife. Tries to stay close to him and this time puts up with his wife just for the sake of your relationship with your son.
I generally stay off the ski tracks, partly because of etiquette but mostly because I feel like the ideal route on snowshoes is different than on skins.
Well, hiking. If it’s too snowy where you’re at to hike some endurance training works well, even just running on an indoor track or something. Lifting weights is something I would also recommend. If you’re strength and endurance make you stronger than the demands of the job you will find is easier. You'll be less tired as well as working a lot safer since you will be able to lift and carry things easily
I would be happy to share a horror story from my time as a married person who bought a home with my own savings, paid the bills for the house and then added my then-wife to the deed years later.
Heck, set that aside for one moment. What happens if something happens to her? Her parents now own half the house that you are paying the mortgage on, have fun with that (also hope you and her parents were getting along).

According to Love Island dogma, you cannot come back from getting the ick.
Yes?
That’s dirty.

Odds are that this isn't their first dance painting.
Given how messy their process is, it’s actually good odds it’s their first dance. This is not how a professional art restorer works.
Saran Wrap. The generic stuff doesn’t stick right.
Tattoos are permanent, that’s the whole point.
People are mentioning a lot of exotic tools, but I would start with a shovel and the most you’d need to break up the larger pieces would be a pickaxe.

Chickens
Next question: How do I pick chicken turds out of gravel?
57, just bought a condo with a 30-year plan to pay off in 15 👍🏼
Question: could you have gotten a better interest rate if you just got a 15 year mortgage?

If it’s a good company:
I’m a fan. Reminds me of Tolkien’s paintings/60s concert posters kind of vibe.

Yup, classic abuser technique for the wife to drive a wedge between Nick and the people in his life who would support him. Major red flag.
You can’t solve the “my wife wants to GTFO for a month” problem.

It’s never too snowy to hike, just put on snowshoes and you’re good to go.

Why did you marry this person if they weren’t contributing anything of value to your life together?

Depends how you set up the title. You can do it where full ownership passes to the surviving owner.
