Congratulations quotes for new house

BACKGROUND INFO: My BF and I have been together monogamously for 4.5 years - I have never slept or been with anyone else, though I've fooled around - and we have been struggling with arguments & aggression. We have sex like once a month, if that. We broke up this past summer but kept texting back and forth, and this past fall regrouped and tried to be in a relationship again. My BF is the best person I've ever met and I love him very much, but we didn't accomplish our goals when getting back together and the fighting became worse. We may separate again.
STORY: About 2 weeks ago my BF and I met this guy at a family friend event. He approached me first and we chatted, and then my BF came and we all chatted. I didn't initially find him attractive and thought he dressed similar to people that I felt rejected by growing up. Among other info, he told us he was in a long distance relationship (I sensed some pain there, since he said he preferred it being long distance ?) and we later learned it had been for 3 years. He invited us to hang out with 2 other guys after the event and we all had a really great time. I spent more time with the guy than my BF (my BF was very drunk and loves to meet new people and socialize) and I was constantly laughing. I didn't *actually* realize until the train ride home that I was feeling some pretty heavy attraction bs. I didn't think I was "that kind of person" in the sense that 1. I'd have these sort of feelings while in a relationship with someone I love and 2. about someone like this (see below)
I liked things about him that were different than my BF: he's taller, has darker and thicker hair (like me), he's older, didn't seem to take himself as seriously, he's American (like me), he really liked my hometown which caught me up, so to speak (my BF doesn't), has a different career, grew up with many siblings (my BF is an only child), smokes weed like a few times a year, similar religious upbringing to me, comfort-oriented, etc. His friends said he was a really good athlete back in the day - I have never been or dated an athlete, I was an art school / theater person. And I'm sure others would say he's conventionally attractive. He seems really "normal / jock," he works with houses / real estate (?) but I feel like an outcast and I've always liked outcasts. During the family friend event, he told me a story about him cutting his and his siblings hair and I genuinely laughed a lot. Shortly after he told the story, I was looking at his face and I was just thinking.. huh.
At one point when we were alone together after the event he reeeally unexpectedly to me started singing some song, I gawked a little and my heart did something small. He saw my expression and chuckled. My BF is not musical and cringes at others singing - I can't sing when I'm around him (and I grew up musical). I also really dislike when people you just meet ask you what music you listen to, but when he asked me what I like to listen to it didn't bother me at all.
He asked me to squeeze in next to him to make room at one point, and I declined and said my BF could sit on my lap instead because I at least knew that I thought he was attractive. And he was looking at me a few times when he probably thought I didn't notice. But at some point when we were alone and laughing, he put his hand right around my wrist and like touch my shoulder or something a couple times. He did some other quirky things, too ex: I tried to record a video of my BF on my phone and he jumped into it, which really wasn't necessary lol. His friend come up to the two of us trying to give advice about parenting and said "You know, when you guys have kids -" and the guy jokingly said "When [my name] and I have kids together?" and I tried not to laugh. Later near a bar he beckoned me over, we spoke and then looked at me to try to initiate a link-arm-drink with me and I did it but we were just looking at each other and I just felt like.. I don't know man. He highly complimented me on a skill I had and he'd been really supportive the whole time. He also admired how I could hang out with a bunch of (random) guys with my BF - like not needing to only do date-dates with my BF. He asked my BF and I if we wanted to hangout longer and I wanted to, but it was late and my BF and I ultimately thought it was easier to go back home instead. Then, while I was with my BF he only asked for my BF's number, which felt appropriate. We hugged formally, left and on the train ride home my BF fell asleep and feelings hit me like a brick.
ONE WEEK LATER: I'd been trying to process this and how I'd misjudged myself (I also listened to every single song in my library like hours of music and I hadn't done that in years) - I spoke to my boyfriend about having sexual feelings for this guy. My BF is trying to handle the information, so I have yet to tell him other parts yet ex: me experiencing continued fantasies of - if my BF wanted to - having sex with both of them, or my BF just allowing me to have sex with that guy. I intensely want to smoke weed with him (which I also haven't done in years) and have sex with him.
I feel guilty, but I keep "uncontrollably" picturing him when I'm hanging out with my boyfriend. I have an urge to ask this guy if he's in an open relationship and sleep with him before I leave the city - my BF and I are moving away, potentially to separate locations. But I really don't know if I'd gain anything life changing from it. (P.S. I never gave any indication that my BF and I were having issues.)
What do you think? + What is happening to me, and what do I do?
TLDR: My boyfriend and I have been having relationship issues and talk about breaking up. We have sex once a month if that. We met this guy one time at an event recently in a troubled (?) long distance relationship, and I think we both know we find each other attractive. I started having sexual feelings for him & fantasies that I've wanted to act on even though I love my boyfriend and still don't exactly want to leave him. I'm leaving the area soon I don't know what my next course of action is, what is happening to me, and if the feelings should be acted upon.
Thank you very much!

My husband and I filed Ch 13 in Colorado and due to how expensive it is here we are looking at moving (and buying) a house in Texas. We have been on time for 12 payments so we qualify for an FHA loan. How does this process work? Can we move over to a different Trustee in Texas and will our payment change since the cost of living is lower there? Who do we get approval from to buy? The CO trustee or new Texas one? Will we have to dismiss our case and start over?

Hello all.
My best friend’s sister was the leasing manager for my now apartments. The apartments are initially meant for those 55 years old, or older but there are a few that are available for those under that age. My best friend has been living there for about three years and she has been trying to get me to move in for a couple of years now, but I wasn’t able to because they didn’t have vacancy for those under 55. During the time that we (my fiance and I) were seriously, finally deciding to find someone to put the apartment in their name(yes, I know it’s wrong), my best friend told me that rent was going up to $1,000 ; The rent varies by person and it’s between $650-800 and it’s based on income. We ended up not moving in during this time once again. Months pass and last September she texted me saying that her sister has accepted a new job and will no longer be the leasing manager for her apartments and she had been renting out a unit for an Airbnb and her sister was curious as if I would be interested in taking over the unit, fully furnished. I have my own apartment that I’m still paying rent on so I told her my boyfriend would be paying the rent and he would accept the offer. Well fast forward eight months later and we’ve both been staying there, but my bf is paying. We got a notice on the door last week saying that the lease is almost over and it would be increasing to $550 if we renewed. And come to find out my best friend is still only paying $650 for her rent, in which was told to me months after we had moved in. I am upset and my boyfriend definitely is after finding out that my best friend’s sister is pocketing $600 a month from him because if rent is going up to $550 then it has to be in the $400’s now and he’s been paying $1,000. AITA for confronting my best friend about this? 1. Although he is paying 1,000, I’ve looked around and I didn’t realize how crazy expensive apartments are these days and I’ve found very few 2bedrooms for that price . But also I don’t like the fact that a guy she used to mess with, her mom, and two other family members are also living in these same apartments and is paying the normal rate whilst we’re paying an exaggerated amount. Also, she made it seem like she was doing us a favor when we moved in and told me if my boyfriend and I ever broke up, he would be the one to have to move but he’s the one paying the rent??! One more thing, the fully furnished includes a three seater couch, minimum dishes, two beds one in which broke a week into us living there, a 60 inch tv and a 30 inch tv and a small dining room table. Although it helped us, I honestly would rather us to have furnished the house the way we liked it instead of having things in the apartment we now can’t get rid of because she’s expecting things back when we move. Also, there are no amenities in the complex such as a pool, gym, patios, balcony, etc…..

Need recommendations for a small gutter job on my house. I need the front second story gutter cleaned which is about 26 feet in length. I had someone come out for a quote and they charge minimum $300, which would have been ridiculous for this small section.

Anybody know of any decent certified carpenters in Sydney Area? Doing a new build home and looking for some options for quotes.

My husband and I have been to hell and back in the past six months trying to get his parents into assisted living. His dad recently diagnosed with Alzheimers and has several different types of cancer. His Mom is showing signs of dementia but all parties in solid denial. We had to pay for their move in to an assisted living facility which was almost $50k out of our pocket after discovering they had over $50k in high interest credit card debt and had run through all of their savings. Their only asset was a home with some equity (that they regularly borrowed against to buy art, jewelry and entire rooms full of QVC clothing and make up purchases that were never opened). We found receipts for over $200k in purchases while cleaning out their home and had to donate over a ton of clothes and household items that had no value. We found over 300 handbags - most never opened. They flooded their home (dementia related) just before agreeing to move out which meant house was not immediately able to be sold with $50-$100k in damages and an insurance agent refusing to pay. Only sharing because financial burden to me and my husband was substantial.
In laws signed a POA just before moving so we could help them. Upon discovery of their dire financial situation and MIL shopping addiction I contacted QVC to ask them to close her account. Husband talked to his Mom who agreed to try to stop shopping (but obviously cannot). QVC asks for POA which I send them and close her account. She calls next week and opens a new one. I contact them again, explain she has shopping addiction and we are financially responsible party and they need to close her account. They do. She opens a new one. We close again. This goes on 5 times. We shut off her credit cards, block phone numbers, block website, take channel off her TV. She still finds a way. They claim they can’t block an address, I just have to keep contacting them to close accounts.
MIL this week reaches QVC and throws a tantrum to someone on the phone about her difficulties purchasing. They turn over all the correspondence I’ve had with them notifying them of her addiction. She calls my husband incredibly upset that her daughter in law would do this to her and threatens to cancel POA because of it - which would make a lot of things harder for us.
My legal question - shouldn’t QVC have held the communication I sent to them as private? Do I have any rights to privacy for the communication that was shared with them? Do I have any legal recourse with them?

Hey gals!
I wanted to share my success story with you. There are so many posts in saphic subreddits out there with gals losing hope around finding a partner. In the kink space, it's harder. But it's possible! It takes a bit of extroversion and effort, but IMO well worth it.
I'm a Domme. I've been kink my entire adult life. I'm also a trans girl. I didn't transition until mid-adulthood due to not knowing anything about gender dysphoria. But that's not really the story. I just want to give hope to trans girls out there as much hope as cis girls. My fiancee/submissive/pet/little is a cis girl.
I went through the hardest breakup of my life with my former partner. We had been together 8 years and she left me for another woman 6 months before our wedding. I was destroyed. I moved home to where I live now and decided I was going to change everything about myself to not feel that kind of pain again. I wanted to switch. I wanted to bottom. I wanted to just date and not fall in love again.
Fast forward about a year after my toxic breakup and I'm now living in my new city. I decided to go to a FemDom munch to give this whole sub thing a shot. Like in most cities, there are not sapphic kink groups where I live but there are PLENTY of kink groups with bisexual women. I wasn't sure I wanted an LTR but I WAS sure that any relationship I wanted to be in had to have some kink and possibly a kink dynamic.
I dressed in a super cute dress, wore a big pink collar, and ventured out into the world. The munch was held at a gay bar and I was one of the first ones there. As the folks began to fill in, there were 1 or 2 sapphic couples there out of about 20-30 people. That gave me hope that I might meet someone to connect with.
Eventually, this bombshell of a woman walks in. She dressed very straight and very vanilla - but as a sapphic friend once said - "Why do you assume everyone is straight? You'll never shoot your shot if you do!" I mean....we were in a gay bar after all! She was looking for a seat and all of the chairs at our table was taken. I stood up, grabbed her a chair and offered it to her. She replied with, "Thank you! Where are you sitting?" and had me put the chair next to me.
At this point, I had no idea what her deal was. Straight girl? Domme? Sub? Vanilla? Wrong internet meet up?
I complimented her beautiful Kate Spade purse and we sat and talked about fashion for the next 30 minutes. Eventually, she offered to buy me a drink. I politely declined thinking it was a friendly offer. Plus I had a stomach ulcer at the time so I wasn't going to make that worse by drinking alcohol.
When she came back to the table, we sat and talked for another hour before I had to go to a friends party at another bar in the same neighborhood. We traded fetlife accounts and I left thinking, "Damn, that girl was awesome! Too bad she's probably straight."
When I got home that night, I added her on FetLife and saw her sexuality listed....a Bisexual submissive! Before I was able to shoot her a message, she shot me one telling me how much fun she had talking to me and how she hopes to see me at more events.
I shot my shot ladies. I asked her out to dinner.
Fast forward a week and we're at a lovely little Mexican resataraunt by the beach. Now that I knew she was a submissive, my Domme side awakened. I skipped the cutsie dress and collar and instead wore a gorgeous, form fitting body-con dress with stilleto black PVC heels. I channeled my black cat lesbian. I curled my hair and did my makeup. I'm still not sure this is a date, and neither is she - but I'm hoping it is!
We talked for 3 hours and sipped on margaritas. We talked about everything. Work. Kink. Politics. You name it! As I walked her to her car in my stilletos struggled with the gravel parking lot but she was impressed I was able to handle it gracefully. She moved in closer to me by her car and we both asked as the same time for a goodnight kiss. I guess this WAS a date! That kiss...floored me.
Our second date was very different. We met up at a Spanish tapas place, again by the beach, and talked kink all night. Despite her looking like a preppy straight girl (I'm more of a big tiddy gothy queer girl), her kinks aligned with mine in every way. We negotiated our first play date. The chemistry was undeniable.
I won't go into the NSFW stuff but only to say that after 23 years in kink, I've never connected with someone is such a profound way.
It's now a few weeks past our 2 year anniversary. We're getting married. We have 3 playrooms in our house. Kink is part of our day to day language but the love and support is beyond great. We're getting officially married in October.
It can happen! Despite being queer. Despite being kinky. Despite gender stuff.
Your partner is out there.
Short version of how I found my person:

1. I skipped the Apps like HER and Tinder because they all suck.
2. I got on FetLife and found a local munch with my interests (Dominant women).
3. I went to a munch and met a girl.
4. We got to know each other and fell in love.

I know how hard it is to date as a queer woman, but the majority of successful kink relationships I've met have all met in real life.

Hi,
Very odd case this one, which is I guess why I'm posting.
We renovated a house 4/5 years ago, and as part of that had a new kitchen installed. The microwave/oven combi we had has had constant issues with the magnetron stopping working )all other functions worked and micro looked like it did but didn't heat= almost exactly every 12 months, and Miele have come out, taken it away to change it out and returned it. After this occurred for a 4th time recently they agreed that it would be easier to return the unit and replace it with a new one.
However they delivered the brand new unit today, and within 3 seconds of the first run of the microwave it had shut down and now won't even power on at all. Checked the obvious things like the fuse having tripped etc.
Presumably when this issue occurs again with a new unit, the issue is external to the cobi oven itself. Is there anything in the electrical works that were done as part of the new kitchen that would cause a magnetron to fail after a period, and then a whole unit to go pop almost right out of the box.
I can understand that low voltage may cause the first set of issues, but I struggle to see what it would have damaged almost instantly in the new unit.

I am working with several companies to get quotes on a new front door with sidelights and a storm door. Most of the companies we’ve talked to sell Provia or ThermaTru doors, but one company uses Polaris Ultra Entry Doors. I’m unfamiliar with this company and can’t find any reviews on them. They sell windows, too, which I do not need, and their window reviews aren’t great but I’m curious if anyone knows whether or not this is a reputable company/good option for a door?

I enjoy watching Charlotte and thought, you all might enjoy this story. If it makes you cringe and awkwardly chuckle, I've done my job.
When I was much younger, I was dating a very nice man, We’ll call him Dan. He was a huge geek, something I actually like in a guy. He was intellectual, decent looking and sweet. Terms I’d never use to describe him would be sexy, intense, exciting, or passionate. To be fair, I loved him like a friend, but I was hoping my feelings for him would grow. So, I set up a romantic getaway for us for New Year’s Eve. We stayed at the Beekman Arms, the oldest inn in America, located in Rhinebeck NY. There was a storm warning for that night. I was looking forward to being snowed in for a bit.
It had just started snowing when we arrived, but it was coming down fast. We got to the cottage (a one room carriage house with bathroom) and it was a picture of romantic Victorian bliss. A large stone fireplace, a raised Victorian 4 poster bed, a large window that looked out onto the green with the town in the distance , and a bottle of champagne on the table. The snow was gently falling and quickly covering the ground so we decided to walk to dinner. We headed out and a few other couples were also walking to dinner, all of us dressed in our best. It was like stepping out into a real life Currier and Ives scene.
We held hands as we walked and joked about how lucky we were to be enjoying such a perfect night. There might have been a few snowballs thrown as well, much laughing, and fun was had. It was delightful and the only thing that would have made it better in my mind was if I were with someone I was totally into. We had a lovely dinner and afterward roamed around the town, now completely snowed in with no cars coming through at all. It was more magical than I can describe, looking up, everything seemed in slow motion with the flakes gently falling.
As we made our way back to our cottage, we talked about how nice it would be to sit by the fireplace and sip champagne while we watched the snow fall outside. We got to the house thoroughly chilled and started a fire. Dan had scooped snow into the bucket and had the champagne chilling with glasses at the ready. We started with a cup of warm tea to warm up and watched the snow come down. Candles burning and the fireplace crackling. I was warming up to this guy and thought maybe, just maybe I could develop more romantic feelings for him. Then I went to “change into something more comfortable,” a sexy satin nightgown and robe I bought just for the occasion.. I put on soft music and when I got back to the table he had taken two boxes out of his bag. I couldn’t tell what they were in the dim light. They were Magic the Gathering cards. He brought them along so he could teach me how to play. So did ya’ll hear the screeching brakes in your head the way I did? I had all I could do not to burst out laughing. I had my answer, we’d always be great friends, but that was it. There I saw in my sexy lingerie, and welcomed the new year while playing Magic the Gathering with Dan, sipping champagne and watching the snow fall as we enjoyed the crackling fireplace. I had fun, but by the time we were too tired to play on, the mood was over and we stayed on our separate sides of the bed.
A few weeks later we went our separate ways. He had met someone in his Dungeons and Dragons group and I was already looking for someone who was a better fit for me. While I regret nothing, as he was a great friend and that night will always be a special memory, It left a mark. As I began checking out online dating, I would always stop and check out the profiles that listed D&D free. For the longest time I thought they meant they didn’t play Dungeons and Dragons. I kid you not.

We're familiar with the tried-and-true method of firing off sigils. It's vulgar, but it works. But, a lot of people hit a wall after the first 5-10 sigils and they stop working. This is when we need to pivot. Here are some ways to add more thought into your sigil casting. More thought=more energy in the direction of the sigil, which is always a good thing during casting.

1. Astrological Correspondences:

Time your sigils alongside astrological events that are suitable for your working. The moon is an easy one for this.
New moons are low points in the cycle, so use those to wipe the slate clean and to dedicate yourself, to set a new course. Full moons are culminations, they're good for directing energy at a problem, as well as cutting ties with anything actively.
Also, keep your eye out throughout the year as well. I'll give you this one for free: May 18th, Jupiter will be conjunct the sun, with Venus and Uranus close by. Great time to manifest unexpected blessings.

1. Elemental Correspondences:

Tie elements into your work based on what you need to achieve, and make sure to match them correctly.
Do you want to stop smoking? Bury the sigil instead of burning it, so that way the earth is giving a bit of energy to it over a long period of time.
Want to summon a fling? The magic only needs to work for one night, so burn away!
Also, look into the various realms that the elements reign; Fire is passion, zeal, and creativity, air is intellect and strategy, water is emotion, and extremely mutable, and earth is material goods.
Tip: This nests well into #1. Bury a sigil in Taurus, burn it in Aries, etc.

1. Numerology and Gematria:

Want love?
L = 12
O = 15
V = 22
E = 5
12+15+22+5=44
4+4=8
Give your sigil eight sides. Cast it eight times, or on August 8th at 4:48.

1. Color:

This nests well with the elements. You're casting a love spell or a curse? Write it with a red pen. Want money? Use green? Protection? Black.

1. Use Every Sense While Casting it:

Try making the environment you cast the sigil in completely unique, engaging every sense in some way that relates to what you're trying to manifest.
You want to manifest a relationship? Cast it in your bedroom, with scented candlelight, roses on the bed, and a piece of chocolate on your tongue.
You want protection from evil? Point a knife at it in the garage before burying it at the edge of your property and end it taking a whiff of smelling salts.
Those are two different kinds of workings, so casting them should feel different from each other. When you get good at this, every sigil should be unique.

1. Turning One Spell into Many:

Runesoup has an excellent article on this, but I'll touch on it too. Find a way to break up one desire into several.
For example, if you want to get a new job, you could just cast "I am in a new job that I love," or you could cast "I find interesting leads on Indeed," "I am a persuasive interviewee," "I get job offers that are higher than I expect," "Recruiters find my resume impressive," and so on and so forth.
Not only does this give you more time and more energy to put towards your goal, but the numbers in and of themselves can have magical correspondences. The more opportunities to add intention into your working, the better.

1. Do Something That Signals to The Universe That You Know This Will Happen.

Aleister Crowley was once out of money. So, he did an elaborate money ritual, and then he spent the last of his money on ice cream. He did this because he 100% had faith that money was coming in.
Listen; We all aren't Crowley. I don't want to advocate that anyone plays chicken with the universe. But You should act confidently that whatever sigil you just casted is on its way. If you manifested a partner, make sure your Tinder is in top shape. If you manifested a job, start looking at what you might wear for the interview.
You made this a part of your story. Act like it.
Compare these two sigil rituals:
"John wanted a new job. John wrote "John has a good job." on a piece of paper, crossed out the repeating letters and vowels, made a symbol, jerked off while staring at the symbol, and then burned the sigil."
OR
"John wanted a career. CAREER = 58, and 5+8=12, so John made 12 sigil intentions all relating to thing he'd need to bring into his life for a new career. He looked at a sky chart and noticed that Venus was about to enter his 10th house of career, let's say Gemini, so he made sure that at least half of those prompts related to the finer things he wanted to manifest in his new career, as well as the mental skills he would need to capitalize on opportunities.
The day after the first new moon after Venus enters Gemini, he starts a six day routine where he puts a sigil on him, maybe in his shoe, and does a five mile jog in nature. At the end, or when there's a good wind. he rips it up and throws it into the breeze.
The other six he distributes between fire and earth, burying four and burning two. (This is getting long but assume this as thought out as the air one above.)
When all this is said and done, he makes sure his suit is dry-cleaned and that his headshot on LinkedIn is up to date."
If you were the Universe, which John would you listen to?

I’m in the process of finishing my basement and want to use vinyl plank flooring, I have a new construction home and there is a plastic membrane underneath my concrete floor in the basement. I’ve read that because of this I don’t need a vapor barrier, however the concrete slab can get quite cold, will the flooring be enough to insulate a little bit of heat? And is it true I don’t need a vapor barrier? I’ve been in the house for 3 years now and I haven’t had issues with moisture so far

Hi,
I'm sort of going though a lot and would love for all to be kind. Thank you.
So, It's been about 3 months things are going this way. He moved to a new place i.e., his brother's friend's house where he lives with about 8 other guys. He hasn't told this brother about us because he is very conservative/orthodox. Even my boyfriend is similar in that context which I love and hate both. He has told his family though - Mom, Dad, Sister and brother in law. So I wasn't really concerned about this cousin brother but somehow he respects this brother more than anyone else. He can do anything for the brother and I don't have a problem with that, Infact, I appreciate it in him.
Now the thing is, at first he was able to talk.
He would talk to a limit though. Then, even after his brother went back to his country, he didn't talk much. Slowly, it changed to when he would get a chance to. Multiple fights later, it has settled on - when he thinks I should hear from him + one update in either pic/text/video. So, he used to talk at every chance he got and now he doesn't do that ever. I blame myself because I did sort of push him away with my constant "You don't talk to me" arguments.
This all has been feeling more like a formality to me now. If I'm sick.. he is not concerned. He is not concerned where I am. He is not concerned who I am with..How my day was.. It's all gone. All I get from him is - some updates (as I said the "formalities") and one or two calls with him telling me where he is.
From about a month, I'd tell him I don't wanna be in this relationship. He'd change for like 2 days then everything goes back. But he has been really very busy in his work.
The latest one was that ' my brother's best friend is suspicious that I have a girlfriend so I can't talk for few days.. don't even text me because I cannot let my brother know. I have an image in front of him that I don't talk to girls '. Which is true. He has been a shy guy. He has never talked to girls. I am his first. He never even looks at girls. He is loyal and truthful to me. I know that when he updates me he is with his friends.. he is with his friends. I have tried and tested all that..
Just this lack of conversation due to one or the other reason has sort of put me off.. his unavailability.. him not being curious about my life, his not being concerned about anything about me, his manner of talking is making me feel that maybe he doesn't love me anymore.
And I am honestly stuck. We had out anniversary recently, for which he was not excited at all about. I know he was busy collecting/earning rent but I would have appreciated a 'happy anniversary' text. We fought on our anniversary. Now it almost feels like... he is not concerned if I get angry/upset. He does his thing, doesn't let me go and honestly, I don't wanna let go either... I want him back but I know I have tried a lot. I have communicated this to him, argued with him and what not.
Now I am more concerned because the brother is coming back in 10 days. And I feel stuck, I know the little conversation we have is going to stop.
Also, I feel it's enough. I've been the one understanding his busy schedule, him being with the guys, his waking up late after I've slept already and not being able to talk, him being busy during his nights (my mornings). For context I'm in India and he is in Canada.
I don't feel like talking to him because I know it won't last even a minute before he says he has to go. I am not excited about his texts. I don't feel I love him while I know I do. I am so confused.
I am not sure if I should break up or not.
I am.. just not feeling anything. Just leave anything. A suggestion, an advice, an experience you had..Anything to tell me that this might be normal. If not, just tell me if I am okay breaking up.
Just be kind, please.

I'm 20 years old and I have a lot of different chronic conditions that cause me a lot of mental stress and physical pain in my day to day life. I don't have a job, don't have a license, live with family, barely leave my house, I can't manage to even stay in a course without dropping it halfway through out of exhaustion and total lack of motivation. I barely get out of bed and if I do I struggle to get dressed, take a shower, eat or drink anything, etc.
This is how I've felt for a majority of my life, especially through the abuse from family and partners, and bullying from my peers.
However, I'm constantly looking after everyone else. My grandparents and parents have all been extremely emotionally repressed their whole lives until recently, and with my parents discovering their own issues and becoming self aware they've looked to me for emotional support. My grandparents are both still repressed for the most part but because they've been struggling with their health and going in and out of hospital they've been relying on me to help them more.
Both groups of my friends are all struggling in similar ways to me but I've spent years in therapy and trialling medications, and I've learnt to handle these issues privately and manage my outer image. I also have more life experience (which must sound funny coming from a 20 year old). They tend to look to me for guidance and support.
If I'm honest I let people think that I'm okay, that I'm doing alright. Because I noticed a long time ago and ever since then that unless I'm actively breaking down or exploding that people won't ever notice or offer support despite knowing these are issues I deal with constantly. I've asked for support. I've asked for things as simple as just asking me if I'm alright or just giving me company. I've never asked for more than that, and even when I go to them I'm never really given as much as I give to them.
I know everyone cares about me in varying degrees, but I can't help but feel like that's often not enough to just know they care. I just can't help but feel bitter sometimes because I'm always the one taking care of other people, I'm always the one giving advice.
I don't know what I'm even doing anymore. I'm in too much pain and under so much stress that I don't think I could hold a job if I tried (and I've tried), so I'm under financial stress too. I can't move out even though I desperately need my own space, some semblance of privacy. I can't concentrate on studying anything for the life of me, and I have no passion for things that I'd be able to get a job in. Any career paths I'd actually like to do are barred to me because of lack of opportunities in my area (not to mention the pain of even just walking or speaking making most in person jobs look like a nightmare). I've dropped three courses so far, and I'm terrified of being a total failure. But if I keep going the way I'm going I think I won't make it long.
This post is probably a bit all over the place and doesn't really have a lot of details, but I just needed to get it out somewhere. I don't even know what I'm talking about even counts as lying. I just think sometimes it feels like everyone, including myself, are pretending nothing is wrong even if we're all aware that there is.
Even when I was sick with gastro for a week no one brought me food for 5 days, even then I ate only a few crackers on the 6th day and on the 7th I ordered rice pudding off of doordash because I was still too weak to stand up for long let alone cook. I ended up vomiting on the floor too a few times because I was too weak to make it to a toilet and no one gave me a bucket or anything. I've spent the last 3 years supporting my ex boyfriend through his struggle with depression and OCD despite his abuse of me. I helped my best friend recover from her abusive relationship with her ex boyfriend only for her to abandon me the moment she got a new boyfriend.
These days I feel somewhere between apathetic and extremely bitter. I also feel pathetic even though people keep telling me I'm strong. I feel like even if I am strong that it doesn't matter. I've also been scared of dying too early in case that isn't even enough to make them care. My dad told me that suicide is for cowards. I know that isn't true. But I know if I do die like that that he'll think I'm one.
So. Any advice?

"“We all know what kind of clientele you’re going to have,” he said, adding he was concerned with residents “casing us and finding out when’s a good time to rob us blind.”"
People like this are so ridiculous. You'd think new housing would be a welcome sight in communities where population has fallen for decades, but again, apparently not.

Property management companies like real estate companies in Sri Lanka are entities that handle the day-to-day operations and maintenance of real estate properties on behalf of the property owner. If you intend purchasing a commercial property for sale or villas for sale in Sri Lanka, it is such companies that would help you to better manage the property and handle the nitty gritty on your behalf. Their responsibilities can vary depending on the type of property they manage, but generally include tasks such as:
· Tenant Relations: Managing tenant inquiries, screening potential tenants, handling lease agreements, and addressing tenant concerns or complaints.
· Rent Collection: Collecting rent from tenants, enforcing lease terms, and pursuing delinquent payments if necessary.
· Property Maintenance: Coordinating and overseeing repairs, regular maintenance, and upkeep of the property, including landscaping, cleaning, and ensuring that everything is in good working condition. They will even handle the management and operations of agricultural land like coconut land for sale in Sri Lanka.
· Financial Management: Handling financial aspects such as budgeting, accounting, and reporting to the property owner. This may also include paying bills, property taxes, and other expenses related to the property.
· Marketing and Advertising: Advertising vacancies, showing the property to potential tenants, and implementing marketing strategies to attract new tenants.
· Legal Compliance: Ensuring that the property complies with local housing laws, building codes, zoning regulations, and safety standards. This includes handling eviction proceedings if necessary.
· Tenant Services: Providing services to tenants such as handling maintenance requests, resolving disputes, and addressing emergencies.

Property management companies aim to maximise the value of the property while minimising the stress and workload for the property owner. They act as intermediaries between the owner and the tenants, handling various administrative, financial, and operational tasks to ensure the smooth operation of the property.

The many benefits of using a property management company
Using a property management company can offer numerous benefits for property owners, including:
· Time Savings: Property management companies handle all aspects of property maintenance, tenant relations, and financial management, saving property owners valuable time and effort.
· Expertise and Experience: Property managers are professionals with experience in real estate management, ensuring that the property is well-maintained and managed efficiently.
· Tenant Screening: Property management companies conduct thorough screening processes to find reliable tenants, reducing the risk of problematic tenants and vacancies.
· Rent Collection: Property managers handle rent collection and pursue delinquent payments, ensuring a consistent cash flow for property owners.
· Property Maintenance: Property management companies oversee regular maintenance and repairs, preventing small issues from turning into costly problems.
· Legal Compliance: Property managers stay up-to-date with local housing laws, regulations, and safety standards, ensuring that the property is in compliance and reducing the risk of legal issues.
· Marketing and Advertising: Property management companies advertise vacancies and attract potential tenants, minimising vacancy periods and maximising rental income.
· Emergency Response: Property managers handle emergencies such as maintenance issues or tenant disputes, providing quick and efficient solutions.
· Financial Management: Property management companies handle budgeting, accounting, and financial reporting, providing property owners with transparent and accurate financial records.
· Peace of Mind: By outsourcing the day-to-day management tasks to professionals, property owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their investment is in good hands.

Using a property management company can streamline operations, minimise risks, and maximise returns for property owners, making it a valuable investment for those who own rental properties.

Are there any challenges involved with using a property management company?
While using a property management company offers many benefits, there are also some potential challenges to consider:
· Cost: Property management services typically come with fees, which can eat into the rental income. It is important to carefully consider the cost-effectiveness of hiring a property management company, especially for smaller properties or in markets with lower rental yields.
· Finding the Right Company: Not all property management companies are created equal. Finding a reputable and reliable company with a track record of success can take time and research. It is essential to thoroughly vet potential property management companies before hiring them.
· Communication: Clear and effective communication between the property owner and the management company is crucial. Miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings, delays, and dissatisfaction with the management of the property.
· Lack of Control: Some property owners may feel a loss of control over their investment when delegating management tasks to a third-party company. While property managers are hired to make decisions on behalf of the owner, some owners may struggle with relinquishing control.
· Quality of Service: The quality of service provided by property management companies can vary. Issues such as slow response times, inadequate maintenance, or poor tenant relations can negatively impact the reputation of the property and its profitability.
· Tenant Turnover: High tenant turnover can be costly for property owners, as it results in vacancy periods and additional expenses related to finding and screening new tenants. Property management companies play a crucial role in minimising tenant turnover by providing excellent tenant relations and timely maintenance.
· Legal Liability: Property owners remain ultimately responsible for legal matters related to their properties, even when they hire a property management company. It is important for owners to ensure that the management company they hire is knowledgeable about local laws and regulations to avoid legal issues.
· Conflict of Interest: In some cases, property management companies may prioritise their own interests over those of the property owner, such as by recommending costly repairs or maintenance services from affiliated companies. Property owners should be vigilant and ensure that the management company acts in their best interests.

Despite these challenges, many property owners find that the benefits of using a property management company outweigh the potential drawbacks, especially when it comes to saving time, reducing stress, and maximising the profitability of their investments.

Hello All,
This is my first ever cold storage wallet, so please take it easy on me as I don't fully understand how they work yet and am still researching them. It's still sealed and sitting next tro me, as I am holding off on using it, until I get an answer to my question below.
As stated in the subject line above: I purchased the Tangem Wallet (3-Cards), and am brand new to wallets.
My goal is to keep one of these cards in a bank safe deposit box, another in my home safe, and another off-site at a relatives home. I plan on keeping my long term crypto on the Tangem wallet, but am confused about something. Would I need to update each of my cards anytime I move crypto to and from a wallet or exchange, or can I only use one card, and the crypto will be available in all three?
For example, the wallet in my home safe would be used anytime I want to move crypto around. The other two cards would remain in the safe deposit box, and relatives house, and would only ever be accessed, if the card in my home safe would be lost or stolen etc..
So to be clear, the specific question I havce is if I could update the ONE card in my home safe anytime I want to move crypto around, and would never need to touch those other cards, but in a worse case scenario if I did lose the card located in my home safe I could still have access to the crypto with one of the other cards.
Sorry for the long winded question, and appreciate your responses. All feedback is welcome, but an official answer by someone from support, would really make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Thanks for all of your help!

Yes, I get it, for many of us, India isn't the best place in the world. Like any other country, we do have our own issues. However, India is just what I need right now for my mental and physical health.
I spent the last 10 years studying and working in the USA. While USA was great for my academic and professional career, it was not so good for my mental and physical health.
In the last 10 years in USA:

1. I went from 92 kg to 122 kg in weight (Gained 30 kg).
2. Diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes in 2020.
3. Diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder (faced symptoms of Schizophrenia + Depression) in 2018. Went through terrible mental suffering for 8 months with hallucinations and delusions. The medicine for schizophrenia led to weight gain.
4. Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in 2021. Suffering from depression and mood swings as a result.

I returned to India permanently 3 months ago after my USA work visa expired.
In the last 3 months in Delhi:

1. I walked 10000+ steps every day in a garden near my home in Delhi.
2. I ate healthy, reduced the quantity of my food intake.
3. Cut down sugar and reduced processed foods.
4. Consulted a diabetologist who started me on a weight-loss medication.

In the last 3 months:

1. I have lost 13 kg of weight and now weight 109 kg.
2. My HB1-AC has reduced from 9.5 (January) to 7.2 (May).
3. My sugar levels are back to normal after 10 years.
4. My mental health conditions are much better with medication and therapy.
5. I am happy to be with family again after many long years.

I am also happy to share that I will be starting my new dream job next week which is a staff level data science role at a top US-based company. The job is in Hyderabad and I was able to negotiate a CTC of 48.32 LPA + relocation bonus of 3.5 LPA = 51.82 LPA CTC for 2024 - I have 8 years of work experience in data science & analytics.
I am writing this post to help those who are facing issues or suffering in life, As the Buddha said, there will always be suffering in life. But if we change our attitude towards life, we will suffer in the moment, but we won't suffer forever.
India isn't such a bad place. There are many positive things about this country which we miss out in the daily doom and gloom.
Some Pros of moving back to India from USA -

1. UPI - World’s most efficient contactless system for payments. Personally, I love using this great system.
   
2. Infrastructure in India 🇮🇳 is gradually improving. Examples are an improving road and rail network, Vande Bharat express (world class train), well developed airports, and excellent world class malls in cities!
   
3. You won’t have the stress and pressure of vacating the country in 60 days if you get laid off on H-1B.
   
4. As an Indian citizen, you can vote for whom you choose to (Unlike H-1B).
   
5. As an Indian citizen, you can work in any job role, regardless of your background (Unlike H-1B).
   
6. As an Indian citizen, you can start your own business venture/company! (Unlike H-1B)
   
7. The world’s best food available near you and very affordable!
   
8. Warm weather in most Indian cities.
   
9. Access to better and cheaper healthcare than the USA on average. You can communicate with your doctor through phone calls, which you cannot in USA - it’s an appointment only based system in USA.
   
10. Access to affordable house help for cooking, cleaning, washing and drying clothes.
    
11. Much better hospitality on average in restaurants and hotels.
    
12. Cost of living is much lower than in the USA 🇺🇸.
    
13. Salaries for senior level Tech roles in India 🇮🇳 are great, taking cost of living and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) into consideration.
    
14. Being close to your culture and spirituality!
    
15. Common people are more welcoming and warmer in India than USA.
    
16. Cheaper higher education than the USA.
    
17. Last but not least, it’s a divine blessing to spend valuable time with our ageing parents who have been separated from us for many years as we were far away in America!
    

Let's take a moment and smell the flowers.
Best :)
