I'm an introvert who has to often "turn it on" and be extroverted. I socialize but prefer to keep it to the same 5 people.

I'm not looking for a relationship. I'm very much ok with being alone and have zero desire for a relationship (haven't been in one for a decade).

I WFH, sometimes from coffee shops, usually not.

I'm ok with being alone. Finally. I'm getting better at it. But being lonely is what I'm struggling with.

There are days like today that I'm doom scrolling, haven't done anything productive, not even interested in reading a book, and those 5 friends are busy.

Is there a place I can go to not feel lonely and interact with people without feeling obligated to be super sociable?

I have nothing against a good conversation with a couple of people, but large gatherings are starting to give me more and more anxiety and nervousness. (I'm 39F woman and such a cliche ha)

I can often be a night owl so a place where people are out late is also helpful.

P.s. I can explain more about myself and what brings me here but I'm getting flack on another reddit post about the length of my story about a family trip ha. Trying to keep it brief...

I set up an LLC last year 2026 but never took money from clients through it (I know, stupid) because I never set up a bank account specially for it. I just reported my income as an individual at tax time.

I just got this notice in the mail and am confused because I never took payments through the account?

I googled and see that I need to file something, but it's not clear in the web file online system what I'm supposed to be filing.

The notice is a 05-211 and file number at top says XT171940.

The notice I got says the problem is: "long form (05-158) or EZ (05-169), and/or complete, signed public information report (form 05-102), not filed"

Online the solutions for this are:

"Issue:

No original franchise tax report and/or Public Information Report filed; or

Franchise tax report was not accepted. (You will be notified by letter regarding the reason for non-acceptance of your report.)

To resolve:

File the franchise tax report and/or the Public Information Report - see Filing Methods; or

If your entity is a member of a combined group, see Combined Reporting Information."

But when I log into the web file system, it doesn't give me options to file the franchis tax report or the Public Information Report. It only gives me these options:

"File an EZ Computation Report

File a Long Form Report

File a Public/Ownership Information Report

File a No Tax Due Information Report

(Only applicable for reports originally due prior to 1/1/2024)

Request a First or Second Extension

(Include Payment if Required)

Make a Payment Only

(Choose Request an Extension for Extension Payments)

File a Common Owner Information Report

(Required for Combined Groups Only with a Preserved BLC credit)"

Which do I file?

It's past business hours so I can't call the Comptroller office right now :(

Hey y'all,

1 year ago I had started studying for my PMP, stopped in a couple months.

I had purchased the Udemy course with Andrew and got PMP prep books. All of that is just sitting there now.

After I got caught up in some client projects, and after I read on Reddit how no one is getting PMP jobs, even after getting PMP and being a PM for years, I was like "why try what others more ahead of me can't get"

I've been thinking of pursuing my PhD but I'm stuck on which direction I want to go with it (nonprofit operations? development and fundraising? school leadership? Etc). I miss structured learning where you're building up to something.

I'm a nonprofit consultant who struck out on her own because of sinking ship where I wasn't treated well but I don't want to be self-employed and want to be a part of a team again.

I love project management, processes, resource allocations, being handed a bag of tools that's lacking everything you need but being told that's all I can work with. Challenge accepted.

I miss learning and I enjoyed the PMP material so now it's like.... Do I just do this and try to get my PMP and not hold out too much hope for my future job stuff? Or should I go do something else if I'm just getting it "for the hell of it" essentially.

(I have a feeling I'm about to get some sarcastic responses about how dumb this post is, posting anyway for those who might give me some thoughtful advice, ha)

Hi,

I want to learn to swim for the first time for my safety and the safety of others.

I'm googling adult swim options and see some things like British Swim School/(24 Hour Fitness), Houston Swim Clubs, the Houstonian, Texas Swim Academy, Swim Jim, YMCA, Lifetime, Lifetime.life...

Most of these places don't have classes in Westchase or adjacent, and are beyond my budget of $50/mo (completely unreasonable?), and/or they don't have anything on their websites about women only classes (I'll have to call to find out).

I can work on the budget issue and run more numbers to reduce other life costs but a non-negotiable is that it must be a women's only environment.

Any recommendations?

My family is really hoping to see some bison and other wildlife but based on how today went with us getting out of the house and to Old Faithful, etc, I don't think there's a way to get us there by dawn during this trip. :/

I was reading online that sometimes dusk is another good time to sight wildlife in Lamar/Hayden. Has anyone experienced this lately?

Also, are there any particular parts of Lamar or Hayden Valley with the best likelihood to see them?

[EDITING TO ADD NOTES BELOW BASED ON WHAT PEOPLE ARE ADVISING BELOW! THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!]

Hi!

I've been wanting to go to Yellowstone for a few years now and super excited it's finally happening. I've built out the below itinerary based on lots of Googling, AI, and posts on Reddit (that had amazing maps!).

My family is 3 adults and 4 children (1 teen, 2 kids, 1 toddler) so it's going to be a little slow moving and we are NOT going to be able to do hikes, just walks. (:

We're staying in a VRBO near the West entrance.

DAY 1: SOUTHWEST

- Firehole Falls

- Old Faithful Geyser

- Grand Prismatic Spring

• (Note: go when it's not all super steamy)
• (note: beware of packed lot that people may not be in and out of quickly. Get here early! People going on trails park here too and so they won't be leaving the lot anytime soon.)

- Great Fountain Geyser

- Fountain Paint Pot Trail

- Activity: Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center

• Restaurant Recs: Firehole BBQ

DAY 2: SOUTHEAST

- Hayden Valley

- Mud Volcano

- Activity: Yellowstone Lake scenic boat tour

- Dragon's Mouth Spring

- West Thumb Geyser Basin

• Restaurant rec: Lake Yellowstone Hotel

DAY 3: NORTHEAST/EAST

- Activity: Roosevelt Corrals 2-hour history wagon ride (Note: consider pulling this out and bank more on Lamar Valley and Canyon Village)

• (new add) Lamar Valley

- Canyon Village (cool place to learn about geothermal, Mammoth, and animal stuff)

• Restaurant rec: the Eatery

- Brink of Upper/Lower Falls (Note: be ready to carry toddler because there are steep things and stairs that don't support a stroller)

- Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

- Artist Point/Grand View (Note: someone said Artist is a MUST)

• Restaurant Rec: Roosevelt Hotel

DAY 4: NORTH/NORTHWEST

- Activity: boat float from Gardiner

• Restaurant rec: Wonderland in Gardiner

- Mammoth Hot Springs

- Porcelain Basins

- Norris Geyser Basin

• (note: beware of packed lot that people may not be in and out of quickly. Get here early!)

- Gibbon Falls

CONCERNS I HAVE:

1. The lists are short but as you know, it's a lot of driving. Is there stuff I'm being unrealistic about?

2. Anyone done a river float with a toddler before? I need to assuage the toddler's mom's fears ha.

3. Have I missed a "MUST see/do"?

4. Have I included anything that's like "meh"?

5. Online I see that we need to be out the door by 8am daily if we're going to beat the park entrance traffic. With our family, I'm afraid that'll happen exactly...... never (kids....).... Do I need to tell my family "hey we need to get out or we can kiss this vacation goodbye" or just that "hey if you want to waste less time in the car, let's get out the door sooner"?

6. I need to still go through the restaurant options for each area in case we want to eat something beyond what we're going to pack. If you have any specific recommendations like "you've got to try this at this place!" Let me know. We are big foodies. :) Only dietary limit is no pork/alcohol, all else is fair game!

Been applying to nonprofit jobs (including foundation positions in hospitals, universities, etc). Got 2 interviews and no call backs.

I'm realizing with the only fields really hiring being healthcare, construction, maybe retail, I need to pivot.

I was studying for my PMP but quickly learned that seasoned PMs aren't finding jobs so what chance would I have?

I have a BS in a healthcare field but I hated it. So much. Felt dumb every day. Depression was deep. I'm right brained, not left brained.

I have two grad degrees in social science fields, one is helpful.

What should I pivot to? Can I get into healthcare at this point? I remember very little from my BS.

A lot of people are saying that they're selecting seats due to Choice or some upgrade by using a Southwest credit card, but then their seats get randomly reassigned. I'm seeing a lot of this.

I've flown all airlines domestically and have never bothered to upgrade to seat selections, just to save a buck. But this gets way more complicated when you're flying with kids and need to stick together with your family and not get split up throughout the plane.

Does this happen when y'all get tickets with United/others? Are you able to keep your family together, no surprises? Or is this experience with SWA consistent with other airlines?

My nonprofit client is a school that uses Populi as their LMS but uses Donor Perfect for their donor CRM, which is a clunky ball of mess. Their constituent data is spread out over these multiple places.

They're asking me about options to centralize their data so I was looking for donation management CRMs that integrate with Populi.

Btw while googling this I learned Populi also has a donor CRM functionality? I've filled out their form for a demo.

I saw that Salesforce and something called Element451 have Populi integrations. Any others?

Has anyone used Populi as a CRM or integrated it with a CRM?
