So over the last few days I’ve noticed on occasions when at idle and parked all start hearing a noise like this. It usually goes for about 30 seconds then disappears. What could this be and should I be concerned?
Car is a 22 Acura mdx
I know the topic of restaurants and places your refuse to pick up from comes up on here a lot, do any of yall have complexes you refuse to goto or just me?
Is it me or does it seem like the amount of let’s be honest stolen orders has increased the last few weeks?
So I’m going to buy a watch as kind of gift to myself for buying a house a these are the 4 I have narrowed it down to. I currently have a breitling endurance pro, tag formula 1 ( only on one a metal bracelet. I don’t like bracelets just not my style and a tag calibre 1 skeleton. The watches I have are like 2-3.5k so for my next one I kind of want it to be a step up
So I’m curious is giving your clients gifts after closing normal? I closed on a house today, and my realtor gave me a bottle of champagne and a 200- gift card. Same realtor sold my mom her new house and gave her a really nice bowl
I’m have my real estate license and mainly do investment properties I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a gift or seen someone get one at a closing before
Had this pop up 3 times, no pay or mileage listed
So on Saturday I went out with a friend of mine and two of her friends. 1 guy she grew up with and another friend she wanted to set me up with ( determined quickly I wasn’t interested) well we hung out for a while but like I said after like 45 mins I asked for my check paid for and said my goodbyes and left
The reason I left was honestly It felt super awkward when I was there. Not awkward like there’s this person I’m not interested in that she’s trying to see me up with or another male friend. It was more so akward because it felt like I really wasn’t wanted there by anyone including my friend. I felt like the akward 3rd wheel. Hard to explain through words but I think people can get that feeling. It didn’t help that we were supposed to do something else that got cancelled and for the news plans my invite felt like an after thought. Plus I asked her to do something in a few weeks the day before when plans were canceled and she never responded when we’re together in person
After I left I texted my friend immediately saying sorry for just bailing but I felt super uncomfortable, I feel bad but hopefully you understand to which she likes the text. I thought nothing of it till I get a text from her this morning
Which had me thinking maybe I was the asshole
She basically said hey I want to be honest I’ve been thinking but I don’t think we’re compatible as friends and we should go separate ways. Best of luck to you.
Part of me think AITAH based on how I felt after and how she responded. Part of me says I’m not because I explained myself to her and I shouldn’t feel that way
Buddy of mine said you’re not unjustified feeling that way when you met up. That’s a pretty serious response from her and she probably felt that way before Saturday considering she blew you off when you asked her out the day before and if she did your not an asshole from removing yourself and not giving her or her friends your time
So like most adopted kids threw out my life I always wondered who my birth parents were and my siblings. For years I’ve grappled with the idea of trying to find out who they are, what they did, what they looked like ect.
Unfortunately it was a closed record adoption and the birth mother asked for her name to be kept from my mom and me and they didn’t want contact with me. I have my adoption paperwork but any name is redacted and isn’t on any of the paperwork
All I really know is my birth mother was 28, the birthdad was 44 I had two sisters who were 35 and 43 and a brother who was 32. I know the dad got divorced before I was born and at the time had no knowledge she was pregnant ( got bs k together afterwards) and the mom gave me up because she knew she couldn’t give me a good life and wanted me to know she loved me and always will and asked for a picture of me a few years later in adoption follow up meetings.
So I only really have 3 ways to find out
is I can ask my my aunt who’s my moms sister- she was the lady who delivered me but I’m not sure I’m comfortable having that discussion with her
I know the the birth dad played d1 football ( I know school he attended) knowing his age I can roughly have an idea about when he played for them. Maybe reach out to school and see if they would send me a team photo from those years and roster and use process of elimination. Ie I’m white so eliminate anyone who’s not. I know he wasn’t a star so probably not a starting qb or wr ect, I know his height ect… maybe from a photo I can see someone with similar looks?
ancestry. Com. This would probably be the easiest but I don’t know how accurate these things are. Anyone have good experience with this or are options 1 and 2 more full proof?
So I 36(m) feel like I need to sit down and talk to my sister about stepping up to help my mom. Basically about 8 months ago my dad died which has obviously been hard on every one but especially my mom considering me and my sister are all she has for help
Now that being said, it’s more like just me helping her out. My sister has this idea or belief that everything should be dumped on me. Anytime my mom asks her to help her out it’s well can I do it. I try to help as much as possible but there are legitimate times I can’t help and when I say I can’t help my sister out I get attitude from her and given grief even though she has no clue how much i actually do to help.
Like I’ll give you an example, my mom needed some boxes for moving ( more on this later) I said I couldn’t because I was doing work things and where I work it’s a minimum 2 hours to get back ( that’s my commute for said project) but I get yelled at for my sister because she had to reschedule her gym session.
Now back to the moving, my mom is downsizing and selling her house she is going to need alot of help. Obviously I’ll help as much as possible but I’m
Also moving myself so my time is going to be limited because I have things I need to do on my end on top of work. Am I overreacting by telling my sister she is going to have to really step up with her time being available to help my mom?
So I’m currently looking at a house for me as a primary residence not as an investment. I’ve seen alot of things I really like but when I look at the numbers I’m just like what is this person thinking
I looked at 4 places in two communities and it’s almost like people don’t look at comps
In one subdivisions one place is listed at 440k, the other at 460k ( that one been on the market over a year) the last identical unit sold for 400k
In the other subdivision their asking 475k ( dropped from 500k) most recent one that layout in sane area sold for 445k and of last year
Are people today just making up numbers, or is it a my area problem. Like the one listed for 475k ( which o actually like and will make an offer on) has called my realtor a few times asking if her client is still interested so the market seems to be agreeing with me
So I’m curious to hear from fellow fans what your thoughts are on Cadillac so far this season has it been
A) better then you expected
B) as expected
C) worse then expected
I’m going with A. They have been consistently able to finish races ( which towriss said was their main goal, it seems like their gap times are coming down not by alot but still coming down
Looking at adding another watch to the collection and I’m not sure between the two
They are both similar size ( Hamilton 43mm, citizen 41mm- all my watches are in that size range because I’m a bigger guy) and both are the same price
I like the dial on the citizen more then the Hamilton, the Hamilton is more my style though- I tend to like a one wear watches with rubber and fabric straps over metal bracelets
So I m(36) l live in an apartment building and there’s a girl I find attractive and seems pretty cool who lives on my floor and I kind of want to ask her out
So we actually are familiar with one another so I’m not just a rando saying hey want to go out sometime. Basically a few months ago I was outside with my dog and she asked if I could help jump her car to get it off the tow truck which turned into a two hour thing at 1 am. She drove through a puddle and fried the electrics and had to get a new car. So that’s how we know each other. And we always talk when we see each other in the hall way
So would it weird asking her out considering we have a familiarity between us
2nd would it be weird if I asked her by leaving a note on her car ( obviously I know which car is hers) ? Before everyone immediately says yes, I don’t know what unit she lives in and I’m moving out in 3 weeks and I don’t know if and when I will see her again. Sometimes I will see her 3 times in a week, sometimes I will see her 1 time in a month and a half, sometimes it may be my only option
So here’s the situation and this is not my realtor but the realtor for the other party
So I’m selling a house in another state, basically I’m in the process of selling off all my properties and 1031 exchange them for properties where I live. Currently I have a property under contract scheduled to close June 16th
The other day the buyers realtor reached out about the possibility of closing early (yesterday). My realtor who I have used for 10 years said closing early is fine but the date would not be possible simply because the required paperwork isn’t ready yet. My attorney got the deee package to me Tuesday and being out of state it would take a few more days for me to sign notarize and send
Well my realtor gets an email from the other agent saying the deal is closed and settled and the title company is going to file with the county. My realtor said back this is not possible considering they don’t have the original deed to which she said they filled a copy of it
Now the other realtor is pissed because my realtor is refusing to give them possession of the property told her he has personally contacted the title agent to tell them they don’t have to original deee so they won’t file anything and proceeded to tell her what she did was borderline illegal and will be contacting her principle broker
She responded as per the contract since we settled we have to surrender possession of the property, Even though my agent said we haven’t settled
Anything yet because you never recieved a signed copy of original deed and this is real estate 101
Is this situation worthy of reporting to the real estate board because to me it seems like borderline fraud
So I just got back from a date and even though I thought it went well I got the dreaded it was fun but didn’t feel a romantic connection, but that got me thinking is me not being more physical the reason this keeps happening?
I don’t struggle getting dates, dates generally seem to last a few hours, usually have a lot in common, and generally the vibes are good then I just get hot with this line and it’s the only thing I can really think of being a continua problem. Furthermore when I think back the last few people I’ve ended up dating more on the reserved side of physical contact.
And for anyone asking I’m this way because I’m the past I was accused or borderline sexually assaulting a girl simply for trying to kiss her after a date so this has weighed on me and Implanted a mental block on me ( ironically said girl and I ended up dating 2 years later and she was a good friend of mine for almost 14 years)
