11 months after DDay I finally left….
I am moved into my new home with the 3 kids. I’m feeling such a hurricane of emotions. I’m happy to no longer cohabitate. At the same time, I’m so incredibly sad. We’ve lived in apartments for 9 years always trying to save to buy a house. We were supposed to do that together. I finally, got into a house (renting), but I was never supposed to do that alone. I’m happy I know what I am coming home to everyday. No more eggshells, but his absence is definitely felt. I miss his smell, snuggling on the couch, our morning coffee routine, but I don’t miss seeing his tail lights every time he goes to see AP, his tirades because I said something he didn’t like. It’s a weird dynamic I feel.
Dday was 11 months ago in which he confessed. After that, he lived with the kids and me. He continued his affair. He and AP referred to each other as bf/gf. All the while, still sleeping with me (hysterical bonding). He had said he felt guilty for sleeping with me because he was “cheating” on AP. In his attempt to be open and “honest” he has told me facts that I never needed to know (how tight AP is, he got her pregnant because she broke the condom with her “tightness”- she had an abortion- she’s 41 and he’s 45). During all this was going on about reconciliation. A lot of false hope.
I was not a perfect wife. We had a toxic marriage. Communication was shit, a lot of anger and resentment. That is from both of us. He has narcissistic tendencies due to unmedicated bipolar (gaslighting, manipulation, etc.). A lot of what he considers abuse on my part is just reactive abuse. Even though it was reactive abuse, I am still guilty of it.
I’ve come to realize, I am pretty certain it’s a trauma bond. I’m having a really hard time breaking it. He made moving a living hell. I have a limited budget and he terrorized me to the point where I had to change my plans and pay $500 to get out sooner or have my stuff thrown out. I don’t have an extra $500. Now, how do I put food on the table? He’s not paying child support now (yes, I know file for divorce asap, but a court order isn’t going to take money from his account immediately). AP already spent the night in the apartment in the bed our kids were conceived on. The very next day, WH calling and texting he misses me. He came to my new home to bring something over and I let him in. I know I shouldn’t have but I find I can’t say no to him. I don’t know how to break the trauma bond. He was nice the rest of the week and helped me with the heavy stuff loading and unloading. He and the AP aren’t bf/gf anymore, claims no more sex, but still everything is the same with them. He goes back and forth on R with me. I can’t seem to break free.
I’m proud of myself for taking the first step and leaving. I can’t NC because of kids. I’m trying yellow rock. I don’t know what else to do. It is excruciating.

Hear me out and i'll explain where this idea came from.
So i was watching the meme movie in reverse order and the section with Fight club, Moon Knight and Dave Chapelle (starts around 39min 50sec) got me thinking. My interpretations and thoughts/speculations are the following:
Fight Club:

• He could not continue as Roaring Kitty due to all the media attention after the sneeze. Going anonymous was a way to free himself, which came at a cost for him personally. But he had no choice.
• "DFV" represents not only the single account that we know but probably many (to not risk being found out)
• He has been here with us all along, posting DD and memes. Quote from Fight Club: "It's called a changeover. The movie goes on. And nobody in the audience has any idea". Many of us have believed this but i think he's most likely confirming it here.

Moon Knight:

• As a way to personally deal with all the bullshit that was spread by media, he started to put his work out from the shadows, putting his ego aside and giving up the idea of getting any recognition for it. It became something truly altruistic.
• Again, several identities.

Dave Chapelle:

• He struggled with the way he was perceived by the general public and maybe even in personal relationships. People didn't understand that "this ain't a game" to him and it was not a time for him to kick back and relax. His work was only just starting and he had found a greater purpose in all of this.
• Finally the mention of "Wu-Tang" at the end suddenly took on whole other meaning in my mind.

So to summarize: when DFV was cornered by the media he might have looked to crypto as a tool to be able to utilize his new found wealth and fight back. It makes all the sense in the world to me that he would search for a solution in Web3 because of the anonymous nature of Blockchain. Maybe he has been working with PleasrDAO and that explains why he seems to know something big is coming, without having Gamestop insider knowledge.
The beauty of blockchain is that it connects the world frictionlessly; it's common for Web3 projects to send out 'airdrops' or perks to holders of NFTs/coins from other projects as a way to reward and connect communities with common interests. In the same sense PleasrDAO found a way to reward GME holders without necessarily being involved at all with RC or Gamestop. That would explain how there still has been no official word from Gamestop about Wu-Tang.
It seems pretty genius to me, because if it goes down this way i don't see how anyone can get in legal trouble for it. It would not be an official dividend like has been speculated, but it could provide irrefutable and solid proof of the existence of synthetic shares. It would be a story that the media simply can't ignore. And that seems to me like the best, most peaceful and legal way to force shorts to close.

Hi, PFC
I am an Ontario teacher making 65k this year and 68k starting in September. I currently live with my parents rent free but I have a long commute (1 hour each way). My employer has offered me to rent from a property they own near my workplace for $1200/month, plus internet and tenant insurance.
On paper, I feel like I should be able to afford this. I proposed this rent to my employer because it was between 30-35% of my income, but now I am feeling stressed. I have time to get out of the contract and I am not sure if I should do it or not.
Stats:
Salary = 65K (increasing to 68k around when the rent would start). Net monthly take home is 3525.05 currently.
Pension plan: I pay 564.72/month towards a DB pension plan (my 3525 monthly income is after this deduction).
FHSA: 0. I opened an account this year but the advisor at my bank said I should just do that for the contribution room and for now I should prioritize my TFSA
TFSA: 19.8K total, started saving this year while living at home. This is my first year working, but I know I am very behind on savings for my age so I am trying to make this a priority.

• Wealthsimple XEQT and Managed TFSA = $1700,
• GICs = $13500, (rates between 4.7 and 5.2)
• Mutual Fund = $4600

Student Loan: 22k, interest free since I paid off the ON portion. monthly payment is $216 but I can change the terms.
Savings: 3100, two-thirds emergency/one-third furniture fund
Anticipated Expenses:
Rent = 1200
Student Loan: 216 (I can change the terms though)
Internet = 90 (estimate)
Tenant insurance = 45 (estimate)
Cell phone = 94 (I am trying to get out of it but I probably can't)
Car insurance = 205 (this will renew this summer and maybe it will be lowered since I stop commuting??)
Gas = 150
Groceries = 400 (I eat lunch at work 5 days/week so I am hoping this is possible)
Subscriptions (spotify, apple storage) = < 15
These expenses add up to 2415. Income after expenses is 1,110. I think I would like to save 100/month and invest $400/month which brings my leftover money to $610.
If I spend 300/month on clothing, skin care and personal care and 200/month on dining out I am down to $110.
Thoughts:
I am not sure if I should be cutting it so close to $0 every month.
I also don't know how much I should be saving since I have a defined benefit pension.
I want to save more money, but at what cost? By living at home, I spent so much time commuting and I don't have the time or energy to date or socialize like I used to. I am worried I will be single forever if I keep living at home and commuting.
I also think my employer is helping me by giving me the rent they am. I might upset them by cancelling.
I think long-term, it might be more expensive to be single than it will be to pay this rent and live closer to work. If I live in the town where I work and away from my parents then I might be able to find a partner easier. Plus as I get older will it be harder to find someone?
At the same time, I am not sure if I will need to spend money on hobbies to get out and meet people/I worry that I will be spending too much on my expenses that I won't be able to go out and do things that could lead to me meeting someone.
With more time, I could maybe tutor or look into a second job. I have a summer job for this year but I think I want to spend that money on furniture and on my student loan payment to get it under 20k.
My student loan is interest free, but I am worried that may change after an election and I want to be prepared.
TLDR; I am not sure if moving is the right move for me? At 26, I am behind on my savings. Living at home (especially with the commute I have) also has drawbacks as it is hard to have time to date and I am kind of in limbo since I live in a different place than I work. Spending so much on rent and the expenses that go with living alone is also scary.
Any thoughts, advice, anything, would be greatly appreciated. Or if you've found yourself in a similar situation and can offer your insight, what worked and what didn't.

Looking to get a pc while not breaking the bank I came across this one from Best Buy. Was wondering the thought on it if it was worth it or not.

Alright SlothS, just please lend me 5 minutes of you're time.
Once again, there seems to be a ton of chaos around certain individuals in the community. (Behind the scenes or not.)
I'd just like to clarify, from the general standpoint around here.. Everyone is of coarse free to do their own research and form their own opinion but, at this point we must help out our own.
SOL_THE_SLOTH seems to be a popular entity around here lately. So far, all of this "information" seems to be FUD. And unfounded. Several things I'd like to touch on here. Starting with the most important.
King_sloth (on discord) did not misappropriate any funds. Nothing is missing, nothing has been done without the community concent. Whatever is being told to people via PM, is Incorrect.
CQLj7AGJggFhvHQ2Kz1ZYFVTAS6ghR9uJHZHXyfVmtqn
Feel free to look, and see all $sloth donations in the account.
King_sloth has access to the funds, and is open and transparent about the spending.
The drama, and damage that has continued from SOL_THE_SLOTH seems to be spreading to personal lives and that's where we should draw the line.
Our community paid for the investigation. The information was posted. Not hidden. And those of which that are "hiding and waiting" pretending to be you're friend and driver, have ill intent. It is attention seeking, and has nothing to do with slothana.
Pure personal psychological gain.
Once again, personal opinion. I was speculative myself. I talked to the community, I followed the trail, I've watched the show from the front row at times, and the window at others.
But stop attacking. Seriously. I myself had tons of questions and didn't feel justified in what was going on. But everything comes out in the wash. And all drama seems to be stemming from one place..
Attack the fud, not the people. Thanks for reading.

Hey.
I just updated my runescape account to a jagex account and noticed after activating 2fa on my new jagex account, that I now have two jagex 2fa's connected to my authenticator app.
Can I delete the entry to my old runescape account and just keep the entry of my new jagex account? I mean, I can't access the old runescape account anymore either, so it should be okay to delete it, right?
And what about the old runescape account in general? Is it just dead or completely integrated in my jagex account and I'm not able to access it other than by accessing my jagex account? So I can jsut forget it?
Thank you! :)

Optimizing Email Dispatch through VBA

Automating email processes through Excel VBA can significantly enhance productivity, especially for those who regularly send out a multitude of emails. This technique allows for a streamlined approach to email distribution, leveraging Excel macros to interact directly with Outlook. The primary convenience lies in automating repetitive tasks, such as sending weekly reports or notifications to a broad audience. However, a common hurdle encountered by many involves customizing the macro to select a specific sending address within Outlook, especially when multiple accounts are configured.
This challenge arises from the need to personalize emails sent from specific accounts to ensure they align with the sender's identity or the email's purpose. The ability to automate the selection of a 'From' email address directly from Excel VBA not only saves time but also adds a layer of professionalism to the communication. Unfortunately, despite numerous tutorials, the integration of this feature often appears elusive, leading many to resort to manually selecting the sending address for each email. Addressing this issue not only optimizes the process but enhances the overall efficiency of email management.

Command	Description
CreateObject("Outlook.Application")	Initializes an instance of Outlook.
.CreateItem(0)	Creates a new email item.
.Attachments.Add	Adds an attachment to the email.
.Display	Displays the email before sending for review.
For Each...Next	Loops through a range of cells.

Enhancing Email Automation with VBA

Automating email tasks using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook offers a powerful way to enhance efficiency and accuracy in email communication. This approach is particularly beneficial for users who need to manage a large volume of emails or send personalized communications to multiple recipients regularly. The core of this automation lies in the ability to programmatically control Outlook from within Excel, enabling the sending of emails based on data contained in an Excel worksheet. This functionality can significantly streamline operations such as weekly newsletters, marketing campaigns, or status reports, by automating what would otherwise be a tedious and error-prone manual process.
The challenge, however, comes in personalizing the 'From' field when sending emails from different accounts configured in Outlook. This is a common requirement for users who manage multiple email identities for various roles or departments. The default behavior of VBA scripts is to use the primary Outlook account, which may not always be appropriate for every email sent. By modifying the VBA script to allow the selection of the 'From' address, users can ensure that each email is sent from the most suitable account, enhancing the email's relevance and credibility. Moreover, this customization can contribute to better organization and segmentation of email communications, leading to improved engagement and efficiency.

Integrating 'From' Email Selection in VBA Macros

Written in Visual Basic for Applications

Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0) With OutMail .SentOnBehalfOfName = "your-email@example.com" .To = "recipient@example.com" .Subject = "Subject Here" .Body = "Email body here" .Display ' or .Send End With 

Advanced Techniques in VBA Email Automation

Mastering email automation through VBA in Excel opens up a world of efficiency and personalization for users who need to send out bulk communications but wish to maintain a personal touch. This is particularly important in scenarios where emails need to be tailored to individual recipients or sent from specific accounts to match the communication context. Advanced scripting in VBA allows users to dynamically select the 'From' email address in Outlook, circumventing the limitations of manual selection and the default account restrictions. This capability is crucial for users managing multiple departments, roles, or identities within their professional landscape.
Moreover, the integration of Excel and Outlook through VBA extends beyond just sending emails. It enables the automation of entire workflows, such as generating personalized email content based on Excel data, scheduling emails, and even handling responses. This level of automation ensures that communication is both consistent and efficient, reducing the potential for human error and freeing up valuable time for more strategic tasks. However, navigating this integration requires a nuanced understanding of both Excel VBA and Outlook's object model, highlighting the need for clear guidance and best practices in implementing these solutions effectively.

FAQs on VBA Email Automation

1. Question: Can I send emails through Excel VBA without Outlook?
2. Answer: While Excel VBA is typically used in conjunction with Outlook for email automation, alternative methods can involve SMTP servers or third-party email services APIs, although these require more complex setups.
3. Question: How do I automate sending emails from different Outlook accounts?
4. Answer: You can specify the 'SentOnBehalfOfName' property in your VBA script to send emails from different accounts configured in Outlook, provided you have the necessary permissions.
5. Question: Can attachments be added dynamically in VBA automated emails?
6. Answer: Yes, the '.Attachments.Add' method can be used within your VBA script to add attachments dynamically based on file paths specified in your Excel sheet.
7. Question: Is it possible to schedule emails using Excel VBA?
8. Answer: Direct scheduling is not supported through VBA, but you can script the creation of calendar appointments in Outlook with reminders to send emails, effectively scheduling them indirectly.
9. Question: How can I ensure my automated emails do not end up in the spam folder?
10. Answer: Ensure your emails are not overly promotional, include a clear unsubscribe link, and maintain a reputable sender score. Sending from recognized accounts and limiting the number of identical emails can also help.

Mastering VBA for Efficient Email Management

As we delve into the intricacies of automating email processes via Excel VBA, it becomes clear that this technology offers a potent tool for enhancing communication efficiency. The ability to customize the 'From' email address directly from Excel not only streamlines the email sending process but also opens up a realm of possibilities for personalization and professionalism in email communication. Despite the initial challenges in script modification and understanding the Outlook object model, the benefits far outweigh the efforts. Through careful implementation and continuous learning, users can significantly reduce manual email management tasks, ensuring that emails are sent timely, from the correct account, and with a personalized touch. This exploration underlines the importance of embracing VBA automation in modern business communications, advocating for its role in optimizing workflows and fostering more meaningful interactions in the digital age.

As I was studying for the SHRM-CP exam, I came across several posts on here that were useful in helping me along the process, so I thought I would share some information on how I passed for future test takers. Please note that I did NOT purchase the SHRM Learning System. I studied by myself using free online resources and a few books I bought off Amazon. Prep/Study Time
I studied for about 4–5 weeks. On weekdays I studied between 1–3 hours per day, on the weekends I would do 4–6 hours per day, and during the last 7–10 days, I studied about 4–6 hours per day. Of course, I took a few nights off here and there as well. Keep in mind that you may need to study more or less given your work experience (I have a Master’s in I/O Psych and about 2 years of relevant work experience). To be honest, I wish I had started studying 2–3 weeks earlier. I would recommend giving yourself at least 1.5–2 months to prepare for this exam.
Resources:
1) SHRM BoCK — This is a free PDF that you can download off the SHRM website. I used this resource to guide my overall learning. I dissected the entire document and made flashcards on Quizlet for everything I did not know. In particular, I focused on the “key concepts” for each section and made sure I knew the definition of each term. There is also a glossary of terms and definitions at the end of the document, so I added all those terms into Quizlet as well. The glossary does not have every definition you will need to know, but it’s a good start. For the terms I could not find a definition for, I would either
A) Google it
B) see how the SHRM website defines it,
C) use one of my other resources to find a definition
D) go to Youtube to learn more.
2) SHRM-CP Exam by certexamdb Test Prep: You can find in here
I explored a few different practice exams, but this was by far the most useful. You cannot use this as your only resource, but it is a great start.
3) PHSPHR Professional in Human Resources Certification Study Guide by Anne Bogardus: You can actually find a PDF of this online for free. At some point throughout the study process (usually after a practice exam), you will likely realize that you need to go into more depth with certain concepts. This is where this study guide comes in. I didn’t read it word for word, but I spent a few hours skimming through it, went through some of the practice questions at the end of each chapter, and read in detail certain sections that I was weak on. This resource is very detailed but not too complicated which is great. I would highly recommend allocating 1–2 study days just for going through this resource. Keep in mind that it will provide you with more detail than you need, but you can just focus on the concepts that are relevant to the SHRM-CP.
4) SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP Certification Practice Exams (All in One) by Kelly and Simon-Walters. About 10 days before my exam, I came across this resource which consisted of 500 questions that were broken down into each of the sections outlined in the SHRM BoCK. When I took the practice exam in the certexamdb Test Prep I scored terribly on the situational judgment questions. This book is GREAT for preparing you for those questions. Just keep in mind two things when using this resource:
It will consist of some questions with terms or concepts that you did not come across in any of the other resources — you can just ignore those (it’s extra information that you do not necessarily need), (2) the quick answer key has some inaccuracies (ignore it) but the answer key with detailed explanations is correct so make sure you use that when scoring yourself. Make sure you answer both the SHRM-CP and the SHRM-SCP questions (they are both relevant). This really helps with the situational judgment questions, but also with knowing how some of the terms and definitions apply in a real setting. When focusing on these questions, I realized that I had memorized some definitions, but I still didn’t know how to apply those concepts. This book helps with that.
5) Quizlet Flashcards created by other people — A lot of people have created quizlet sets (even from the Learning System) that they have uploaded. Those are free, so make sure you use them! Also, some people have even created practice sets for exam questions (which I think are from the learning system as well), so make sure you review those as well! Basic Study Tips: Unfortunately, without the Learning System, there is no single resource that you can use to prepare for this exam. Therefore, make sure you use a few resources just to make sure you get exposed to most of the material that will be on the exam. As you go through each resource, keep revising your flashcards and adding new ones. Make sure you periodically review flashcards as you go rather than waiting to cram everything in a week before the exam. When you go through practice questions, you will soon realize that you often need to know more than just the definition… you need to know when and how something applies as well. For example, you need to know what FMLA is, but you also need to know what the eligibility criteria is, when it is applicable, etc… I had one massive set of flashcards (about 500), and then I also had smaller sets of flashcards for some sections (e.g., a set for HR Laws, another set for Finance/Accounting terms). I would memorize using the smaller sets, but then I went through the giant set I had created a few days before my exam to make sure I knew everything. Do a ton of practice questions and understand why you got certain questions wrong.
6) SHRM LMS Books
Here’s a quick overview of the step-by-step process I took to study and prepare:

1. Go through SHRM-BoCK and create flashcards
2. Go through and memorize SHRM Learning System Flashcards (You can find these on Quizlet and search “SHRM Learning System”)
3. Take certexamdb Test Prep Practice Exam, review, and identify weak areas.
4. Go through the Bogardus PHSPHR book and focus on weak areas (fill in flashcards)
5. Memorize the newly created flashcards for weak areas, flag ones that you continually get wrong or confused with.
6. YouTube hazy concepts and terms to gain a richer understanding, use Khan Academy when applicable.
7. Retake certexamdb Practice Exam
8. Go through questions in the book by Kelly and Simon-Walters
9. Identify weak areas, read through explanations, create and memorize flash cards as needed
10. A few days before my exam, focus on my large stack of flashcards, go through other people’s flashcard sets, and go through practice exams on Quizlet.

I finished the exam in a little over three hours. You get no breaks, but you can always take them as needed. Time is likely not going to be an issue. Here are some takeaways that I had about the exam: — There were surprisingly few questions on US Employment Laws & Regulations and Labor Unions. I spent a lot on these sections when studying, but there were not many questions at all on these topics. — The test questions were different than any of the practice exams I had taken (however you should be fine as long as you know the material) — The situational judgment questions can be exhausting with having to read 2–3 paragraphs for each 2–3 questions. — Make sure you carefully read the question. For example, you are often asked “what is the first step you would take” or “what strategy would you use.” These can be tricky, but they can also easily reveal the right answer. — No matter how hard you study, you will encounter a few questions where you come across terms that you’re unfamiliar with and you will have to guess blindly. Just try to eliminate what you do know is wrong and take your best guess. Don’t stress too much about it. — Use the highlight, strike through, and flagging options during the exam. It helps a lot. — Often, the correct answers for the situational judgment questions have something to do with (1) getting leadership buy-in, (2) having HR be a strategic partner, (3) making sure the action is aligned with the org’s mission and vision (4) HR being proactive, (5) doing a needs assessment of some sort, (6) having HR be some sort of facilitator.

Heyyy so, idk I just made a new account on here to be able to post in subs like this because well, just don’t really want to eff up my main inbox with a bunch of weird strangers and then have to delete my main! (That’s also why it’s just about a week old)
Anyway, I’m a 28 year old European guy, I’m looking for some nice, outgoing, fun, open minded sort of people to chat with, is that you? It would be great if it was, and if it is hmu! I don’t really know what to write in a post like this because listing your usual interests is just about shallow and it feels like we’ll get past that in the DMs anyway! Here’s a small list anyway, travelling, video games, language learning, food, drinks, casually just hanging out. See, doesn’t really do much but still, if you’ve found my extremely dull post even a bit interesting then you know feel free to hmu! And please be at least 20 years old! Hope to hear from ya! :)
