Coming from Connecticut, Rhode Island is a great little spot. Misquamicut is superior to every single CT beach, Providence is a nice enough medium sized city (the fire water thing Is pretty cool) and Newport is a quaint little touristy thing. Great for old folks. You also have Block Island. Really it’s a remarkable amount of destinations is an extremely small area.

Alaskan mosquitos are the size of pteradactyls. A month later I got to compare them to the nearly invisible Hawaiian ones that never leave you alone. I loving hate mosquitos because they will always go for me before any other people around.

I took a job cleaning beaches in high school for some pocket cash over the summer. People from Connecticut loved Misquamicut, but goddamn if they didn't trash it. They just dumped all they garbage right on the beach because gently caress it, not my state. Most beaches it would be poo poo like "oh man here's some beer bottles". Maybe you'd get an entire cooler or baby diapers if it was crazy busy, something like that. Misquamicut? We once found a whole toilet half- buried in the sand. Who brought a toilet to the beach? Why did they try to bury it? Did they poo poo in it before or after they buried it? These questions will haunt me until my dying day.

Me [31 M] with my fiance [46 F] 2.5 years, Am I justified in taking her off my house deed and life insurance? [new] submitted 19 hours ago by bob5150 https://old.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/dafnbg/me_31_m_with_my_fiance_46_f_25_years_am_i/ quote:Some background: my fiance and I each have 1 child (ages 12 and 5) from previous relationships. We both owned our own houses (I have a mortgage on mine, she inherited hers from her parents). Because her house is larger and in a better school district, when we decided to live together, my son and I moved into her house and I am selling my house at the end of the year (it needs too many repairs and any rent we got would barely cover the mortgage; I would rather just save the mortgage money myself). What a rube. Yeah, sure, you can just "take her off the title", no way you'd need her to sign a quit claim or anything. What was this idiot THINKING about this whole arrangement. The estate planning for blended families is.....delicate. It's delicious to see someone trying to DIY it while obviously not really talking to their partner about any of the important parts.

BonerGhost posted:Or even being aware that your closest living relative in most states is your spouse. Yeah, that's kind of bad problem in that if she dies he automatically gets everything unless her will states otherwise. Then he gets remarried to another woman who already has kids and 20 years later dies of a massive heart attack and now the original mom's estate passes to her widower's new wife's family. The kid who would've inherited his mom's estate now gets nothing. Mixing families requires some very delicate estate planning to avoid a Cinderella situation.

Sneaker equity: https://www.wsj.com/articles/eyeing-that-sweater-its-yours-in-four-easy-payments-11569672000 quote:But recently, while browsing a $140 pair of white, pink and green Nikes on the app of footwear retailer StockX, he tapped on an offer from financial-technology upstart Affirm Inc. that let him buy the shoes right away and pay for them over six months. He could have bought the colorful kicks outright, but Mr. Gauthier, who has used Affirm several times, said the $5 the company charged him in total interest was a small price for flexibility to pay over time.

I was a cart pusher for a while at a Sam's club in high school and people left the stupidest poo poo in the parking lot. Diapers were the worst, and sadly the most common (even though there were trash cans literally next to the cart corrals, people would still leave diapers in the carts). People would leave random large batteries (not vehicle batteries, like maybe UPS batteries or something), old phone books, once someone left a 8' x 3' x 3' wooden storage bin. But the weirdest by far was a paper grocery bag full of ashes. Didn't ask questions, just threw it away. Could have been from a grill, could have been evidence... didn't want to know.
