- Toddler Where can I buy saltwater sandals for dd downtown?
- Toddler Lol to crazy bitch who thinks you can save and buy a home for cash. Bwaahaagaa
- I could, but that'd get me a shack where I am.
- Op: ditto
- you can do that if you make a lot of money
- What's so funny?
- you can in some areas. not every home is in the nyc burbs
- i was the one 'chatting' with her. she was suggesting one doesn't need to build credit, that's how that came up
- That's what we did.
- doesn't that really just depend on how much you can save?
- Op: and doesn't that depend on how much you can make? I can save 100k, good luck finding a home in nj for that!
- and where you want to buy, too.
- so you're admitting that your original post was wrong?
- do you know many people who can save that amount? the minimum would be what, 150K for buttfuck Iowa?
- Op: and doesn't that depend on how much you can make? I can save 100k, good luck finding a home in nj for that!
- she stopped responding to me when i suggested few people could possibly do that. in any case, she was an idiot
- Why was she an idiot? And just because few people can do it doesn't mean it's impossible.
- because she said there's no reason to build credit... that you don't need a mortgage or a car loan or anything where one might need credit
- Well, you can get by without it.
- the point was that it's not the smart decision to go your whole life without building credit. why are you being so argumentative?
- I think poor people are way too focused on credit scores and credit limits.
- the point was that it's not the smart decision to go your whole life without building credit. why are you being so argumentative?
- Well, you can get by without it.

- Why was she an idiot? And just because few people can do it doesn't mean it's impossible.
- I'm consfused as to why this is funny?
- np-if you live somewhere where houses are 300k, try and have that ready to hand out in cash. We are good savers and could not until we are in our 50s if even.
- nnp. You're citing a figure that is twice the median home price in the United States.
- it's just an example.
- nnp: do you know many people who can save 150k????
- Yes
- All houses aren't 300k, I guess that is why I don't get the joke
- I can't buy a 100k house where I am and have it be safe and in a good district, that would be an F school in a high crime area.
- nnp. You're citing a figure that is twice the median home price in the United States.
- Op: I'd like to know who lives in a fantasy land like this?
- Where houses don't cost 300k?
- np-if you live somewhere where houses are 300k, try and have that ready to hand out in cash. We are good savers and could not until we are in our 50s if even.
- wha?? We lost our 1st bid on a home because another couple had an all cash offfer
- Op: and they were probably rich or got a lucky windfall from somewhere
- I could, but that'd get me a shack where I am.

- professional help
- He needs professional help, I'd keep my kids far away.
- A child psychologist
- And good ones will also work with the parent and do parent training do that you can learn how to help him
- I'm sure that is not actually what is going on inside the kid's head - he more likely has social anxiety than he is 'testing' kids. but either way, he could use therapy
- social delays, not unusualy for boys this age, the toxic mix is that some boys are slightly ahead (and can act cruel) some are slightly behind and have trouble merging with thr...(more)
- But combined with emotional delays. She needs a professional.

- oh please... have you ever read the comments on ANY newspaper? the NYT commenters are like Rhodes scholars in comparison
- let me guess - you're a conservative?
- I'm a moderate.
- yeah right
- Why are you so sure?
- because the right has such extreme vitriol for the NY Times.
- op: Funny because I stopped my subscription because the NYT was far too conservative for me.
- I don't.
- because the right has such extreme vitriol for the NY Times.
- Why are you so sure?
- says the right winger
- people are oddly defensive of the NYT
- yeah right
- I'm a moderate.
- Not as bad as HuffPo, but because they THINK they are so much smarter, the annoyance factor is high.
- Exactly.
- SF mom here. There has been WAY more damage on the East Coast and Midwest from repeated natural disasters than here. Even the 1989 quake didn't do the devestation of Sandy or...(more)
- It's a ticking time bomb.
- oh please. plus, if it happens I can still get my photo albums, jewelry, etc because an earquake doesn't ruin it with water damage or fly it 3 miles away.
- When it happens, it will be worst than both combined.
- I am in CA and I agree, there will be many more floods in NYC before the "big one" out here - and in NYC they can actually do something about it but won't!
- Maybe so, but according to every scientist, the big one is very much overdue. Not much humans can do when the Earth moves under our feet.
- Ita, most homes and buildings in Sf are built to withstand earhquakea
- It's a ticking time bomb.
- I frequently write comments there and I have come across some silly ones. I agree about that comment being ridiculous. Personally, after Hurricane Sandy I don't think any of us...(more)
- NYT commenters are some of the dumbest people with generally passable grammar.
- Toddler Male colleague is expecting first baby. I remember there are some funny books for 1st time dads - any recommendations?

- I already finished my lunch. short pause.
- but I just finished breakfast

- she sounds like a real "winner"
- how do you know the second wife isn't awful?
- Because I'm not. I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you I'm not an awful person. Second wives are hated here. That much is true.
- I'm not saying you are. But it's silly to assume that since you're posting that you are the nice one and the daughter is the greedy one.
- I never said I was the nice one for starters. What I posted about was my sneaking suspicion about the sudden call immediately after he cut her off. I mind my own business and...(more)
- I'm not saying you are. But it's silly to assume that since you're posting that you are the nice one and the daughter is the greedy one.
- well expecting to be funded for life while earning 6 figures means she is a DOUCHE BAG
- no one has said she expects that.
- Because I'm not. I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you I'm not an awful person. Second wives are hated here. That much is true.
- how do you know the second wife isn't awful?
- time to rehome her
- lol
- if she's doing well, maybe you're wrong. try to be open minded.

- stay out of it
- Of course I do. Mim'sthe word here.
- ^mum's that is.
- Of course I do. Mim'sthe word here.
- it definitely is. how old is she?
- my first thought is that she felt disloyal to her mother and is now coming into her own
- Relationship aside, she is an adult with a job and he shouldn't be giving her money any longer anyway.
- were you the reason his marriage to her mother ended?
- No. Like I said, we got along great prior to the marriage.
- curious.
- No. Like I said, we got along great prior to the marriage.
- I honestly don't know why you would think this. Most young people have some desire to be on their own, independent and can't imagine that she's think she was going to be getting...(more)
- ^^and dependingon what exactly did transpire she may be wanting to meet with him, either call a truce, or tell him off as in , "yeah..>I can make my own way now and don't want to...(more)
- np-you'd be surprised! So many people I know have financial support from their parents, into their 30s.
- maybe she feels like an adult now. post back!
- she's getting married and want him to pay for it- of course
- how old is this woman?
- she sounds like a real "winner"

- Toddler Genuinely curious - if More OK was so badly damaged in 1999, and is once again devastated by a tornado, is rebuilding wise? Won't it just be wiped out again in another 10-15 yrs?
- was it wiped out in 1980? 1965? 1950? etc? yes they will, and should, rebuild
- no idea. seems like a legit question. If I had a home on an fault, not sure I'd rebuild if it were destroyed in a qauke
- ^quake
- two large tornados 14 years apart does not = building on a fault line.
- no idea. seems like a legit question. If I had a home on an fault, not sure I'd rebuild if it were destroyed in a qauke
- i say no, if you look at the path it's exactly the same. I feel the same way about areas that flood over and over and over
- was it wiped out in 1980? 1965? 1950? etc? yes they will, and should, rebuild

- i don't like to wear jewelry, but I'm a minimalist
