Only time I don’t immediately pay off my CCs is if I have some promo financing. Usually if I need to have some larger than normal purchase I’d just throw it on PayPal credit and just pay it off before 6 months just to smooth it out. Thankfully I generally just don’t have much spending on the...

I rarely get LEGO stuff these days, mostly because it's so expensive, but if this turns out to be real I may need to ask for it for Christmas. https://investabrick.com/articles/lego-star-trek-uss-enterprise-d-set

He had a 403b and instead of rolling it over into his new job when we moved, he pulled it all out and spent it on himself. He has 0 assets other than his car.

It's wild to me seeing anyone write how 40 acres "isn't that much." I'm 38 and have $120k in my 401k and a shit house on a .17 acre postage stamp and still have $40k in student loans. Assuming I lose half the 401k and have to sell the house, it seems like a completely impossible task to save...

Lol casual.

I will definitely have to try that next time. Fuck trying to peel these things.

Went a little weird with the ramen today. Husband’s mom keeps sending him huge boxes of stuff from Omaha Steaks, one of which this time included a 12 lb hickory smoked turkey. Fuck are we going to do with that? Re-heated the turkey in the oven with some lemon and orange shoved into it and then...

I've had two DVTs (ironically not from gaming sessions...) so I ended up getting a standing desk and a walking pad underneath. I just walk through all my EQ raids, now, and even if I'm just having a regular night and I don't want to sit anymore, can just pop the desk up and stand for a while...

Yeah, I'm not into buying a bunch of random shit and what I do have I try to keep as organized as possible (though my laziness impedes this a bunch). Have a specific box set aside for sentimental stuff, since I do have a hard time getting rid of it (shit I always get that pang of guilt just...

I tried for a long time to get our finances combined, but he always wanted his separate because he didn't want to be told what he could do with his money. Of course, it just became a scenario of having our money and his money. Obvious red flag that I ignored, but I never claimed to be smart.

Yeah, I'm just trying desperately to hold onto some hopium that I don't come out of this completely fucked, but yeah sounds like I'm boned whatever I do. I always understood why guys noped the fuck out of marriage; just sucks to have to live it, too.

It does. As far as I know he's not asking for spousal support. We did have another talk today about how he just wants a lawyer's help to amend some of the paperwork and add a demand for me to a buy him a table and chairs. He did mention that he could ask for my 401k and savings, but he's not...

Hoping this round goes better for you. She sounds wonderful.

Can full stack, but yeah. No luck yet, but haven't exactly been trying as hard as I should, either. Might be getting some 1099 work here shortly, though.

Thankfully, all that's been entirely separate this whole time. Neither of us are on each others' CCs or anything, separate logins and accounts for everything, etc.

Money transfers are in progress to my other accounts.

I already floated the numbers by him of what it could potentially cost if we went the lawyer route. That consult that I had before I just hand-waved as me asking about the viability of just mediating it and how much it would cost if we didn't. I got quoted $3500 for basic paperwork...

He got back today. Says he wants a lawyer because he doesn't understand legal documents and is worried because I didn't write anything about the house equity on our division of property stuff and thinks if it's not on there then it'll just not happen or something. Not sure how he's going to...

My parents moved into a golf community and they love it. Previously, they really just never got out of the house much except to work at the family store, but my mom hated that shit and my dad finally realized he doesn't want to just work forever. Now they have a full social schedule all the...

Yeah, I find myself wishing I hadn't gotten rid of my old consoles and games. Thankfully kept my GBA and some games I picked up while I was in Japan for it. I'm still incredibly salty that my N64 set and my old Pokemon GBC got lost somewhere in a move. I'm usually not too much of a keeper of...

I don't know if this has been a thing for a while and I'm sheltered, but I'm suddenly seeing these retarded bumper stickers saying "you just got passed by a girl." Just another retarded example of girl power bullshit literally just self-admitting that they're inferior. If girls were equal, why...

State is WV, for what it's worth. I know we're at least in agreement that the honeymoon savings account we had (just the cash given to us from our wedding) is going to be split in half between us. He hasn't mentioned anything regarding my retirement or my savings, but he also initially said he...

He does not have a lawyer, as far as I’m aware. I don’t know what kind of info or support he’s potentially going to get from his family, though, and who knows, right now he may be hanging with the them and they’re going to pay for one for him or something, I have no idea. Before I submitted my...

So I originally planned going into the divorce with a lawyer, but since I lost my job I can't afford that anymore. I'm trying to plan out what all I should be bringing into I guess the hearing or whatever meeting we have at the courtroom whenever that gets scheduled (he's out of town currently...

Was a lot packed into that little animation, heh.

Fuck me, I thought the pre-orders for the Steelbook started on the 5th, but that's release date. RIP, all sold out, I guess.

In Western MD, we have Sideling Hill. And not far from Sideling Hill we have…

Had my 6mo hematologist appointment and as the assistants were putting in my stats they had to confirm that I had planned weight loss since it was throwing a warning that I was over 10% of my body weight lower than the previous visit. Felt pretty good.

Parents are up again this weekend. Had another long talk with them. Seems pretty much a given now that I’ll be moving in with them once the divorce is settled. I feel like a colossal failure. I often think to myself if it would have been better to just let things be; I should have just been...

Been curious about them as well. Mostly want something for these goddamn lantern flies. Beating them with a broom is exhausting and they’re jumpy as fuck when I try to stomp them. Shooting them sounds like it’d be fun as fuck, though.

No new miniatures, but I did get some more backlog of shame in the mail today. I’ll get to them eventually.

IDK, I can't stand biting into those harder loaves and there's just an absolute explosion of crust going fucking everywhere and making a huge mess. The crust on mine is solid enough without crumbling and it's nice and soft inside. Can't complain.

Well, my therapy homework this week was to make some bread, so I can work on trying new things without hating myself when I can’t do them perfectly the first try. Grabbed the Julia Child basic bitch white sandwich bread recipe to try. Bread happened, I guess. I think it turned out alright...

Had ordered 2 sets of the Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps vinyls a bit back and literally watched as the USPS man dropped a wide open, empty box right on my doorstep and they didn't even bother to mark it damage/opened for when I went to complain to the post office. My salt level was...

I swear we saw Sutekh post somewhat recently (past few months?).

Alright, I finally stopped dragging my feet, got off my ass and filed the papers. We've had some more chats lately and yeah, he still wants to take Bruce and he wants his cut of the house equity. Boo. Not that there's much equity anyway, but I wonder if I could ask for $20k of it to get...

Yeahhh, already nailed a little hook next to it to do just that.

Come home from the gym to being told "that thing in the basement is beeping." Go downstairs and there's a nice big puddle under the water heater and some water has run down the power cord and into the outlet and shorted a bunch of shit. I can totally afford some more home repair shit right now.

Goddamn, I want those.
