Can everybody add reflective or big clear house numbers for their home on the Christmas list? Maybe make it #1 on your black Friday list 😉. People will buy anything but clear house numbers 😂

REQUEST My mortgage went up 11% in two years. Should I go back to renting?

0 Upvotes

I purchased my house in 2023/2024(December/January). Within the span of two years, my mortgage went up 11% to where an entire paycheck is allocated. My mortgage rate is a 30 year at 6.6%. The remainder of my income is allocated to bills/food.. and gas(thanks Trump).

I’m frustrated with property taxes/levies here.. it’s like I just can’t catch a break. I am a single earner, no kids, no extra income. Just me.

Has anyone here decided to go back to renting? My idea is that I am able to rent out my house for a loss of 100-$300 dollars(difference to cover) a month while renting for $1300 a month. I would be able to save $1400 a month which I could use to save.

POLITICS i work for a corporation that donated to vivek

126 Upvotes

as the title says, i work for a corporation that donated to vivek. manager.

went to vote today (for amy acton ofc) and this one was especially heartfelt. over the past year ive had to lay off multiple of my employees against my will (due to the big heads in my company wanting more shareholder value), some of them who had just become new parents and had their first child. the jobs that they had were offshored to india and poland.

also worth adding, my company partners with a major tech company that was sued and found liable in 2024 for h-1b abuse and discrimination against american workers and preferential treatment towards employees of south asian descent.

so to the republicans who are worried about american jobs being sent overseas, you will be voting for someone who is receiving donations from corporations that lay off american workers and offshore their jobs and work with companies that abuse the h-1b visa program. let’s also not forget that vivek called american workers “mediocre”.

and to some of us within the democratic party, i encourage you to make this an issue if amy acton wins. at a time when americans are already struggling with the cost of gas, groceries, and utilities under trump, this is not the time to be sending american jobs overseas.

during obamas campaigns when he ran for president twice he ran on cracking down on h-1b visa abuse and offshoring jobs. nowadays it seems to be the very young voters within the democratic party who don’t want to have constructive convos about immigration and offshoring. being mean and nasty to immigrants should not ever be a democratic value but please also remember that american families and jobs matter as well

Flyers Pizza used to have the best mozzarella sticks. They must get them from a different supplier than they did 10 years or so ago. Anyone know of a place in Columbus that has mozzarella sticks similar to the old Flyer’s ones? HELP. 🤣

REQUEST My boyfriend is kind of a picky eater, it's his birthday today and I need a restaraunt for this evening.

33 Upvotes

Everytime I go out with him, he orders exactly what I get. Even though I know he would hate it. He just likes simple, American food I'm guessing. Grew up in foster care and a poor family and didn't get much to expand his palate. I want something simple and nice. Thx in advance.

Can someone explain what this apple thing is around this cat's neck?

This is the second day. This cat's come around this area and he has a green collar with this round metal disk that has the apple icon on it. Clearly this means someone might be looking after him. But they let him outside so much that I wonder if they're actually taking care of him?

Who's cat is this?

Update: I realize i shouldn't feed this cat, but they were rolling around and rubbing on everything, so i just needed them to hold still for a second so i could check their collar.

Best Economic Phone Plans?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a college student looking to switch to a new phone plan and upgrade my current phone. Right now I'm on my mom's T-Mobile family plan, and we pay a little over $200/month for two lines. The service has been great, but the cost is getting hard to justify.

I'm looking for a cheaper single-line plan that still offers reliable coverage and data. I'd love to hear what carriers or plans you recommend, especially if you've had a good experience with budget-friendly options. Thanks!

It’s about to hit 200k miles and it’s becoming a bit rickety going over 65 and I think it’s time to get a more reliable car. I’ve never done anything like this before so looking for recommendations for used car dealerships or body shops that would make a reasonable trade or buy it for parts?

REQUEST Looking for someone who loves cooking Indian food! 🌱🍲

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to find someone who could come to our home in Dublin, Ohio, once or twice a week to prepare delicious, home-style vegan Indian meals.
They don’t necessarily have to be Indian, but they should be comfortable cooking Indian food and preparing fully vegan meals (no meat, dairy, or eggs).
If you know someone who might be a good fit, I’d be so grateful for a recommendation! Please feel free to send me a message. Thanks so much for your help! 😊

Any late evening activities? Like something to do at 8/9 that isn't a bar?

I am going to be in Columbus for a night briefly during a road trip down to WV and would like to find an activity to do that evening that isn't just going to a bar, the tricky part is that we are not getting in until 8 or 9 and it seems like a lot of things are closed by then (understandably) so I'm curious if anyone has any ideas, we will be there on a Tuesday if that makes any difference.
