The home depot rental

Just curious if anyone knows anything about CBPO Life at JFK….
I’m currently NYPD, and I’m lining things up on this job in case I stick around… but the amount of toxicity in this work environment is finally starting to get to me.. but I don’t feel I would be on patrol for much longer, then the quality of life gets slightly better….
Is working for CBP as toxic as some major city police departments ? I currently have 0 work life balance. Doing about 700-800 hours of OT a year. I’d say 80% is all forced OT, and I don’t even make any good money for it. I’m never home and I hate it. And don’t even get me started on dealing with each other and some supervisors…. But like I said, I have a ticket to get off patrol and get into the special teams right now if I decide to stay where the QOL is 10x better
CBP just sounds too good to be true, and there’s so many salty people online, and I really don’t know what the hell they complain about. I’m hearing you almost never get forced for OT on you RDO at jfk and I’m sitting here losing 1-2 RDO every week
So all in all….. Does CBPO suck ??

First time posting here. Hoping folks could offer some of their knowledge. I’m doing a mortgage loan assumption. So i’m taking my ex spouse off of the loan on our home. I’m wondering if I will still be able to afford and keep it in my name.
I make $80k. House appraised at $365k. I currently owe $260k on it. I have no zero debt such as car loans, student loans, etc. Credit is excellent at 800
Based on that, is this feasible?

So I (22F) have been talking to this guy (22M) and things are going well we see each other about once a week now to do something fun or go on a date. We were talking on the phone a lot in the beginning but now we dont as much since we text and see each other in person. Last night he was drinking and called me later on in the night when i said i was home and headed to bed. The next day he texts me saying he doesn't remember calling me or even talking.... This has happened numerous times and it kinda is turning me off? Does anyone else find this unattractive? What should I do?

My wife (25f) and I (26m) are faced with two options to weigh and decide. Our answer will shape the rest of our lives. This has been racking our brains for the last week+ because we want to leave our house asap and sell it.
We can either move back home to family in NJ, get jobs and save up to buy an expensive house that still needs work (the market is terrible rn in jersey) or stay here in Texas and move to DFW and have a significantly greater quality of life.
We’re an hour south of Houston right now and we hate it. We have so many bad memories here, from cancer diagnoses, wage theft, lost the people we originally came out here for etc. we live in a beautiful home but we’re house broke because the work opportunities here aren’t fruitful if you’re not a blue collar worker. (We moved to a town where everyone asks why the hell we would move here of all places)
We can go back to NJ but we would be living in my childhood bedroom with our 2 cats, dog, and snake. We don’t even know when we’d be able to afford a place to own anytime soon there. The rent is astronomical as are the median home prices. Atleast 2.2x the avg cost of a home here in Texas (New constructions with marble countertops and slate showers for sub 300k, non existent in nj for under 450-500k).
We are fortunate to not have to pay any property taxes in NJ or TX so that’s not a con in either state for us. We have both been living together away from friends and family for 6 years now. We left because I was active duty stationed in NC and she was already in college, by the time my service was over we came out here for some family that has since cut us off knowing we have absolutely nobody out here.
We want to sell the house we’re currently in because we are miserable and depressed here, due to us not being able to afford to go on trips or the lack of nightlife/activities for non child rearing young adults and the fact that we came here for reasons that I’ve since ceased. Kids aren’t in our future so we’d like to make a positive out of no kids by loving our lives and doing the things people with kids can’t do anymore like taking the random getaways that we wouldn’t be able to afford with kids.
I did the math and if we purchase a home in the DFW area, we would have it paid off in 5-7 years (2yr flex for emergency funding) and that’s barely budgeting at all tbh, we’re just very fortunate to have those means. So we just don’t know if its worth it to give up this massive financial potential and stability of our future here to appease the people that miss us. Their take on it is “you didn’t listen to us when we said don’t go, y’all are miserable, and you’re just not gonna listen to us again and go somewhere else?” Meanwhile not a single person we know our age is able to live on their own in a decent house let alone a place without roommates at all and the people saying this either have to break their back with 2 jobs to afford ends meat or they’re getting tremendous support from family that we wouldn’t have. We love jersey and it’s culture, you won’t find it anywhere else, and we can go visit as much as we want if we live out here, but if we live there we’d struggle to even exist and take the time for ourselves. The reason I keep harping on trips and vacations is because my wife and I didn’t have a lot growing up and since we know kids aren’t happening, we’d like treat ourselves to a nice lifestyle. It’s not about the area for us, we foster animals and stay inside watching anime or playing video games most days. It’s really more or less will be able to use our money how we want to instead of dumping most of it into the interest of a home that we may feel regret over buying knowing what we could have else where.
It just feels like we’re bad people if we say we want to have a better quality home and more financial freedom for a ourselves since we’re not having kids. We don’t want to spend 30 years and all of our money to pay off a house and it’s interest when we can do it here in a fraction of the time while still saving money for other things like trips and date nights. Especially when we’re so young and fortunate enough to have this be our difficult decision. We also feel like we didn’t really give Texas a chance due to the year of us being here being so hectic and challenging and dealing with cancer and surgery and a bad ISD that committed wage theft. We’ve been told that we moved to the armpit of the armpit of Texas (Brazoria county Freeport area) and we think it’s be a night and day difference to DFW. We have a family friend in DFW who swears by it and can set my wife up with a teaching position at a local charter school. Oh we’d also have to make the 26hour+ drive to jersey with two cats a dog and a snake. The logistics involved with that alone scare us, godforbid one our cats got out of the car somewhere in the middle of the trip.
So essentially we don’t know what the “right” decision is and are afraid everyone back home will hate us for not coming back after venting to them about how much difficulties we’ve been faced with since coming here even though it really had nothing to do with Texas itself, we just got a lot of bad news since being here that made us really depressed. My wife’s Grandparents cut her off when they heard we moved to Texas because they couldn’t use our Nc house as a stopping point for their trips to florida and they took it as her running away from them even though we lived in a completely different state. she’s afraid she’ll be cut off again if she tells her we’re moving again in Texas and not closer to “home”. This really hurt my wife because she doesn’t have a relationship with her father and her mother passed away so her grandparents are all she has on her side.
TLDR: A couple is deciding whether to move back to their home state of NJ and live with family while struggling to afford a home, or stay in Texas but move to the DFW area for better job opportunities, quality of life, and financial stability. They have had a challenging time in Texas with bad memories and limited opportunities, but feel like they didn't give it a fair chance. They are hesitant to give up their financial potential for the sake of appeasing family, and aren't planning on having kids. They also worry about the logistics and stress of moving their pets such a long distance. If they choose Texas, how can they explain it to their family without sounding insensitive or selfish. They’re terrified of making the wrong decision since they’re so drastically different and have a lot of holdback when it comes to moving to jersey regarding finances and not being established in a career yet.

Good afternoon PFC, currently in a bit of a finance pickle. To begin I'm a 20-year-old male living in the GTA on my own, however, I am returning to college in September and won't be able to work my current high-paying job.
I have no debt other than my car which is currently at 28285.03$ of principal remaining and its 5% interest for the next 6 years (I know a lot however I needed a car within one week last May for work my only option was new unless I wanted to overpay heavy on used).
My current COL is 647.58 (student housing), around 350 a month on groceries, roughly 130 a month on gym and supplements (not up for debate to change), gas is covered by my work mileage, a mind-numbing 420.19 on car payments, and an astronomical 548.16 a month on insurance. Coming to a grand total of 2095.93 a month to live here. No, I do not have any other hobbies than the gym and hiking and no alcohol or partying.
As far as current funds go I have 1855.90 in a chequing account and 5090.55 in a Wealthsimple TSFA invested in cash.to since I don't know where I should put the money. Take-home pay after taxes is rough 687.50 weekly at 37.5 hours a week some weeks I can get over 50 hours just depends on how busy we are and I get 242.50 a week in mileage (I only use about 60$ of it on gas and the GO train). For a grand total of 3720 a month. This means 1624.07 can go into savings or any extras I want.
I know I am not strapped for cash or in too terrible of a position but I can foresee the rough time I will have once I'm having to pay big boy rent and when I return to school and will have to work for minimum wage with fewer hours, so I have a few options.

1. Keep my exact same situation as is and return to school with around 13k in the bank and take OSAP which for me is around 8k and just ride out the year.
2. Keep living in the GTA but opt for a cheaper car, my sale value is around 25k for my car which means I will need to pay the 3 thousandish difference. However, my parent's neighbours are selling their old Civic for around 7.5k which I can insure for 280ish a month. This option will wipe my saving and make me have to borrow a bit from my parents but I will have 720 a month less I will have to spend on a car.
3. Move home to live with my parents and keeping my current car, this will increase my commute time by a bare minimum of 80 minutes a day however I will be saving around 1k a month since no housing cost and no cost of food
4. Moving home to live with my parents and buy the Civic, this would net me around an extra 1700 a month. This would be massive for my savings and is the option I'm most considering.

Pros and Cons time.
Pros of Civic, not having to spend an extra 700 plus a month on a car anymore. Cons of the Civic, I absolutely love my car and all the features inside of it which the Civic just doesn't have.
Pros of moving home, getting to see my parents and saving an extra 1k a month. Cons of moving home, seeing my parents every day and an extra 80 minutes to spend commuting in the car and the train commute stays the same at around 1 hour and 40 a day.
I just need someone to either tell me what is the best course of action because I am unsure right now.
I'm also sure you're wondering why my premium is so high, my insurance address is listed as my parent's house which is in the middle of the country and not the GTA. However, this price is reflecting my G2 driver's license and a tree that fell onto my car while driving which somehow is an at-fault accident since it was only me involved even though I had zero control over it. My premium will drop Monday since I got my G yesterday.
Tldr; Keep spending more money to save 80 minutes a day commuting and driving a nicer car while living alone or move home and buy a cheaper car increasing my commute time but lowering my COL to around 500 a month.

If we can manage to make authentic, detailed VR of paintings, in which you can zoom-in and see details and textures of artworks from various angles, I can imagine so many people willing to pay for this experience. I understand this is not a new idea at all. I was just inspired by the Vermeer show where tickets were incredibly hard to get. (And even if you manage to visit in person, you can only admire the works at a distance and, most of the time, behind the crowd. Imagine how cool it would be if you could just put on a vr glasses and enjoy great works at home. The question I have would be how hard it might be to get authorization from museums? (Ofc i’m not thinking from my pov since I’m a nobody. but say if a company wants to invest in this, how hard/expensive it would be to make this come true?)

He now lay with broken bones under the coffee table at his childhood home, while his parents were freaking out about their one-year-old child transforming into a 50-year-old adult.

I (22f) am unhappy. It’s really that simple. I’ve been with the same person for 4 years but I’ve been unhappy for 2ish years now. We have good days but it’s mostly bad days. I had a rough ish childhood nothing too crazy but I struggle with hurting peoples feelings and I put others above my own a lot. I mean how do I just give up after 4 years. And we are engaged. We moved across the US together and he bought a house.
I’m also just not in a position so leave but when ever is a good time to do it. I have a steady job but I’m in the middle of filing for bankruptcy so my credit is gonna be shit and I don’t think people will rent too people with bankruptcies. So what do I do? Move back home where I will still be miserable but I guess I’d have a place to live ?
I really just would rather deal with it and maybe he’ll get tired of me and end it so I don’t have too? Idk maybe it’s the depression talking. Maybe I’m crazy.

I've gotten tired of the mommy blogs click bait posts that have the same list of free of cheap kids activities for Summer. Can we collectively make our own here? It can pertain to all ages, different regions, and climates. Then we can all use this to reference as needed in the future, click bait free!
Local libraries near us have a Summer reading program. Also different scheduled events to attend.
Swimming in natural areas or splash pads. Oftentimes there's a playground near by. We pack a beach picnic. I freeze yogurt tubes, freeze peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, freeze water, popcorn, frozen grapes... Lunch slowly defrosts, but stays refreshing by keeping drinks cold. We bring shovels and buckets and play in the sand. Plus do nature scavenger hunts.
Playground marathons. Drive further away from your house where there are multiple playgrounds and go to every one on the way home.
Drive in movies or free movies in the park.
Free concerts in the park. Oftentimes I'll Google free events near (wherever you live) to find these events.
Feel free to add to the list!

We've been together a couple years now. I've started smoking and drinking more as I've got a more difficult job than when we first started dating. On the weekends I like to smoke and drink pretty much all day. She's started to say things like "I'm worried about you," "Do you want to do things sober?" and "I feel like you'd rather stay at home high playing Xbox than spend time with me." I appreciate her concern but honestly I don't know why she's so worried since I only smoke 1 bowl (and don't drink at all) on weeknights. I'm worried about losing her though because she seems really bothered. Obviously I'm not going to keep drinking smoking this much when I'm older, but for now while we don't have kids and I need the break on the weekends I think I should be able to have my fun.

The Orsini turned their eyes home for their next project. They had proven themselves to be gracious overlords, revitalising the previously destitute Alessandria from a small collection of vineyards and farms to a prosperous town with a robust mining industry. They sought to expand their mining industry further and construct more specialised buildings to process the ores from their mines. It is rumoured that gold miners discovered zinc deposits while mining new tunnels, and the Orsini will dispatch surveyors to locate more zinc in the hopes they may produce brass in newly constructed metalworks. A jeweller will also be constructed to make use of the gold currently mined in the hills.
The textile industry has always had a home in Alessandria, and the Orsini wished to see it expanded significantly. Sheep farms would have to be constructed in the countryside, and clothmakers would be built in Alessandria itself. Magnaneries would also be constructed to diversify the textiles they had and to produce luxury textiles.

Ok so as some people know from my other post, Carly’s bf had shown a picture of a message I had sent to my older sister back in September. Basically he had taken a picture of my phone unlocked when I had called Evie a cum rag. And to make it worse, he had been in charge of driving me, Carly and Holden (my bf) one night after a big party. This was the same party where I had made my joke about Evie not being Mio’s type. Obv Carly’s bf hadn’t been drinking but the rest of us got blackout drunk. When we had all gotten in the car Holden and Carly had passed out while I was making drunk conversations with him. I had apparently said something about Evie and he had asked me to repeat it while he recorded a video of me saying it. (I want to add that he has had it out for me since we first met. The first time we met he told Carly that I was a snake and she shouldn’t trust me. So he hates me for 0 reason) so basically I had said “Can we all just agree that Mio’s new cum rag is only here for Mio to get his dick wet.” Then I said something about the lion king movie (proving how drunk I was). I proceeded to ask Carly’s bf how many condoms he thought Mio and Evie went through in a week. Then I laughed and hiccuped and said that Evie is probably letting him nut wherever he wants on her body and that she enjoys it. I also said that she probably loved all that deep throating and swallowing she was doing (Carly sent me the video so I saw everything I did and said for myself). Carly cursed me out and said that Evie started crying when she saw the video and Mio is even more pissed at me. But yeah, Evie blocked me after that and I tried calling her. I feel really bad about what I said and feel disgusted. At the same time I feel like Evie shouldn’t have started crying and worsened the situation. Plus the video was taken on September 24th so months ago.
So for the actual update; I went with my bf to Ty’s apartment where almost everyone was. Me and Holden got there and Evie didn’t look at us at all when we walked in. Mio looked at Holden in a “why did u bring her” type of way. They both were standing in the kitchen with Ang and Carly. I walked up to Carly who was standing across the island from Mio and Evie. I said hi to Evie and she just said Hey. I said hi to Mio and he didn’t even look at me. Evie kinda nudged his shoulder and then he said hi which was the first time he’d talked to me since I was at his apartment. I asked how they were and Evie just shrugged and walked away. About 30 mins later I was sitting on the couch with my bf. Evie was sitting on Mio’s lap on the other side of the couch and they were talking. He had his hands around her waist and kept kissing her neck. He even (surprise, surprise) put his hand on her boobs. Mio got up to get another drink and I took this opportunity to try reconciling with him. I jumped on him and told him I missed him and that this was all a big misunderstanding. He stood still and when I let go he gave me a mean glare. I took his drink from his hands and took a sip. He told me to leave him alone then walked away. Honestly I thought that was really rude and thought Evie had told him to say that I but went and sat with my bf on the couch. I kept looking over at Evie and we made eye contact like 2 times. Every time I looked at her she covered her chest with her arms (she was wearing a low cut long sleeve that showed half her boobs and sweats). Ang started bringing some board games out and everyone played and it was actually really fun. We all started drinking a bit though and I got kind of tipsy so I was kinda all over the place. After we were done with one game almost everyone went to get more drinks .This left only me, Mio, Evie and Carly’s bf on the couch. Idk what in gods name made me do it but I started talking to Evie stupid and embarrassing questions. Evie didn’t say anything and Mio told me to stfu(I think he said something else but I don’t really remember). Everyone came back like 2 minutes later and I drank a little more. Then Holden told me I shouldn’t have any more drinks so he got water for me that I sat and drank for a bit. Idk what snapped but when we had started playing a new game I walked over to Mio and Evie to make a “public apology” but tripped over someone’s shoe and spilled my water all over Evie. I panicked and grabbed napkins but Mio got upset. He snatched the napkins out of my hand and told me to leave her the fuck alone. Evie just looked embarrassed and Mio gave her his sweater to cover up. She looked like she was about to cry so I immediately apologized. The thing is that I said “aw Evie please don’t start crying. Ur used to having liquids on ur chest, so why are u upset about it now?” Evie’s jaw dropped and she just walked out of the apartment. Everyone looked at me and I started crying. Mio lost his shit and yelled at me that I was a psycho who just had to embarrass Evie every chance I got. He said that I had done nothing but slut shame her and make it seem like she was nothing more than a sex toy to him. He threw the napkins in my face and told me to fuck myself. I started bawling and everyone just stared at me. I tried calling Mio from Carly’s phone to apologize but he hung up when he heard it was me. Me and Holden went home and I got a message from Mio at around 11pm. I will copy and paste: “ur the most immature and pathetic person in the world bro. U have zero fucking reason to bully harass and shame Evie yet u still do it. One day you’ll realize that you aren’t shit and u never will be. Ur a fucking bully who needs to hate on better women to make yourself feel less pathetic. Yk u have nothing going for yourself and that’s why u keep ruining shit for everyone else. Don’t ever fucking talk to Evie or speak about her again. Ur a stupid asshole that thinks the world revolves around u and people owe u shit. Get over yourself and don’t try to fucking talk to me again. Ur gonna apologize to Evie for slut shaming her in every possible way whether u like it or not. Send a fucking message telling her ur sorry and then leave us alone. I mean it. Hope u realize what a piece of useless shit u are (my name)” I sent him a long message saying that I loved him as my friend and he couldn’t do this to our friendship. He responded saying that I was the one who did this to our friendship and he’s glad I did so he found out sooner than later that I’m a complete jerk. So yeah. I cried all night and Holden tried comforting me but he also scolded me and said that I’m a shitty person. He doesn’t know about the video or what I said to Evie on the couch though. I’m gonna leave Mio alone for a few days then try again. Hopefully he will come around. I haven’t sent an apology text to Evie yet. I feel like they both overreacted and that there was no need to yell at me and make me cry. I don’t think I will be sending Evie an apology unless Mio will reconsider our friendship for it. But yeah, this is prob my last post.
Dm me nice things if ur even gonna bother. No more bullying bs from 40 year old adults.

So we’re moving into a new place with a resident pug who is an old lady and she can barely walk anymore sadly. My dog is generally okay off leash once he’s met another dog (he can be defensive at first but usually chills once he sniffs the other dog out and recognizes they’re not a threat), but she can be a little feisty/reactive. I’m worried about how he’ll react if he comes to greet her and she snaps at him (which she’s been known to do to other dogs). My dog is a 65 lb pit bull so definitely want to keep the peace and keep everyone safe. I’m thinking I will keep him in my room or in the crate when I’m not home, but hoping to have a peaceful situation where both dogs can be out and coexisting. Just trying to figure out how to make sure my dog is comfortable and not too curious or anxious around her because when he’s anxious that’s when he tends to exhibit more problematic behavior (he’s never been totally aggressive per se towards another dog off leash but he has been a little overly stimulated in certain situations resulting in some barking and lunging). Also want to make sure the pug tolerates him too, especially since she can’t move much on her own. Any input welcome!
