Team America?!

Yes! I also have the rice cooker. Probably the two most used kitchen gadgets I have!

Zojirushi bread makers are amazing

Woah! This guy does suck. But, why won’t your wife very reasonably tell him “no”? He’d throw a fit, but he’s asking an awful lot and giving nothing. You two will have to work more to support him… and that’s not fair. Is he going to be there for the next four years?! Does he pay some rent, utilities, and cover food? Does he have household responsibilities?

For all that is good, you need to convince your wife that this is a terrible idea.

One thing to note about living in your car… not having an address shows up an awful lot. You even need one to register your car usually. I was living on the road for awhile and used a mailing service for most things combined with a family members address as my official address.

If your addiction is libido based rather than boredom based, you might want to consider trying Ashwagandha. I’m not usually one to tout supplements, but this has helped me manage my overactive libido.

Sounds like your job was a complete disaster! Glad you managed to get out of there and good job getting the extra insurance!

Hope you’re doing alright and none of your bone marrow has turned into tumors.

What’s the story with the paid FMLA? I ended up taking FMLA for my sons birth, only for my employer to decide that I could only use 2 weeks of my 6 weeks PTO saved. Apparently, theres no guarantee of pay during FMLA or even that you should be allowed to use your accrued leave during that time… They sprung this on me the day my kid was born, after several months of planning and getting okays from HR.

There’s a happy ending though. I threatened to sue them (I’m not sure I would have had a case but I had documentation of them approving the PTO usage). So, they stopped responding to me and paid me for all of my PTO. I put in my notice the day I returned. My immediate manager even approved a week of PTO for my two week notice because of how much he hated the situation. The new job paid more with less stress… wins all around.
