Anyone have any tips for refinancing a car? Any experience that would give good things to know or avoid before doing it? I attempted to buy a new car today, and trade in my very basic 4 year old car. I bought it during a very rough financial time in my life: my paid for car bit the dust, my credit score was not even…

she’s so beautiful! and sorry about the break up. my main question is: where does his money go if not to helping with living expenses? 

I just returned from two days spent holed up in a very nice customized trailer in the woods of central texas with my two bosses, where we planned and made goals for 2019. It was pouring down rain the whole time, so there was no sitting around the campfire or hiking like we had hoped, but we did smoke weed and watch…

my quick fix that generally makes me feel better is taking a shower, and then doing my hair and makeup. doesn’t matter if i put dirty pajamas back on and crawl back into bed. but i usually feel better mentally and physically. extra points for a mask between steps 1 and 2.

Thank you. It’s been hard, and he has walked it back and apologized. I’m not sure if that’s enough, but it at least shows that he doesn’t completely believe the things that religion tells him he’s supposed to believe. At the very least, it gave me a good reason to bring it up with my sister, and explain to her how…

yep, i guess

I know I am a solid 15 hours late to this SNS party, but I’m going through some real emotional hell right now, and I hope that anybody sees this and if they can’t relate, they might at least have some good advice until I can get in to see my therapist.

Back when I was uber-depressed almost a decade ago, my therapist insisted I start finding positive things in my life and focusing on them, because it was too easy to just focus on the negative and spiral downward and wallow in my depression. So whenever I start to feel sad, I start making lists like this of all the…

wow, thanks for this. i’m going to get to the doctor sooner rather than later. 

thanks!

Within the next 1-2 months. I’m in the process of transitioning from contract employee to full time taxable employee with benefits at my company, and they will cover 50% of my health insurance. So as soon as we make it all official (which I’m waiting on them to make some monetary decisions, not any dragging of heels…

thanks! and congrats to you on a non-homicidal week + brisket :) 

I survived this week, which clearly has been rough for everyone in different personal ways, but in addition to the shitty news that is giving me out of control anxiety, I had three gallbladder attacks (mentioned in another thread elsewhere), pulled off a huge launch party at work, and went through a very tense,…

Has anyone here had any gallbladder issues? I’ve had random gallbladder attacks once a year or so for the past 6-7 years. Suddenly this week, I had three attacks in five days. It’s been four days since the last one, which I imagine means I passed a pretty gnarly stone. I’m debating whether to head to a doctor or not.…

so glad tinder worked for you!! and thank you!

i do play trivia weekly...with my little circle of friends. but i am starting to look at more things like classes and clubs to join.

i wish there was someone at work. it would make things much simpler. i did just get promoted to a hiring position, so maybe i could start hiring based off of my tastes...

love it.

i feel you. i hate the apps.

yeah, i’m gonna have to start getting help from the friends it seems. and all of my friends have great friends, so that won’t be terrible.
