A roperly-done buy-out can take a while, even one of a smaller firm where everything is amicable. In fact, if it is a small firm with a few people who established it there can be a lot of nitpicking and emotional back-and-forths. The final filing of papers might have come two days before, but started a while before…

They play HGTV at my OB’s office so I get just enough shiplap and staged construction drama to tide me over for the next few weeks.

My mom rented it for me when I was sick, not knowing it wasn’t the cute movie about bunnies it appeared to be. We were both traumatized.

Apparently, so might this woman.

Welcome to the world of needlessly gendered baby things. I didn’t have a preference about the gender of my baby but, in having a boy, was relived that the clothing options would be more practical and better-constructed. Also, people wouldn’t be pushing me to tape bows or wigs to my kiddo’s head in case (gasp!) total…

If they have no budget or creativity, sure. Although some seem to find their kicks bitching and moaning on Kinja.

It’s ...like... retro.

Not to mention how much cash disappears during a court battle over the will. Even “bulletproof” wills can get derailed when a disgruntled family member engages in nuisance suits.

Seriously about the property taxes. When we were looking to buy, a big beautiful house was available in a perfect area as a bank-owned property. The bank just wanted the balance of the mortgage, which put it in our price range. We were looking pretty early on, so we could wait out the long timeline these purchases…

I have no idea how it can be that expensive. The only festival I’ve been to was about $100 and the lineup was amazing. Three days of big names in music and activity tents with things like silent discos, theater, stand-up comedy and first-run movies. Granted, it was camping-only and didn’t need to pay Instagrammers to…

Fun can only be had in place of paying basic expenses?

Yup. I went to law school with one of those people. She was very fond of #YOLO and decided that she was so deep in debt that what was a bit more? Unsurprisingly, it hasn’t served her too well.

“Because the first two died in utero and the doctor wants us to wait on the next round of fertility treatments.” is a great way to cut off that shitty line of questioning and probably stop that person from ever asking someone again.

Fuck that. Fuck it so much. The GI Bill literally took my grandfather from being an orphan on the streets when the farm his family rented failed in the Depression to becoming an engineer for GM. Everyone should have that opportunity and pay for it with service not with what little money they’re getting to begin with.

Oh good. She’s due after me. I know this sounds petty, but I got married a month or so after William and Katherine did and people found it hilarious to compare the two. Serena having a baby does not impact my life in the least but it is nice to know I don’t have to get compared (even jokingly).

Yeah. since she is in beyond outstanding physical shape, I can imagine her recovery will be easier. I hope it also means she isn’t slapped with the “high risk” designation just for being 35. It can mean fewer choices in medical care and getting labeled either “geriatric” or “advanced maternal age”, which is not fun.

Or call the right fucking jurisdiction and have them do it.

I can imagine it is a combination of that, shock, and people saying “How could anyone be with such a monster?” and “Why didn’t she see signs he was going to do this?”

I knew I recognized that Phil person from somewhere! lol
