Technically, I’m sorry, but that’s incorrect. Even if you own a company, you are still doing work. You may not be doing the physical manual labor, but you’re still doing work.

No.

If you count having a job as even working for yourself and doing the work. Then if you want the money then you are doing a job. Only thing that changes is who you work for

The popular belief is that prenuptial agreements are bad.

Go talk to a marriage counselor they will tell you the exact opposite. A prenuptial agreement make sure that everybody is on the same page. It makes sure there’s no misunderstandings as to how a marriage should run. It also make sure there’s no misunderstandings of how a divorce should be handled.

Hollywood would make you believe that a prenuptial agreement is wrote by one person it’s actually wrote by two. And technically it’s actually wrote by four. The two people getting married and each one of them have an attorney. So that’s four people that are getting this thing wrote.

It protects you from unknown events in the future. For example, let’s say you and I get married no prenup. Few years later I have a traumatic brain injury and I get a personality change out of it. This can actually happen. Well now I’m a sociopathic asshole. Now it’s all me me me. If there’s been a prenuptial agreement, you are protected. I would’ve made sure that future you was protected from future me.

It also clears up how things should be handled such as if one of us owns a house. Who gets the house is your name going to be on it? What happens to it during a divorce? Everybody has their own opinions on all this shit happen, but very few people will write it down.

We’ll talk about how we think these things should be happening, but we won’t write them down and then years later we claim, but I didn’t really say that or I didn’t mean that.

Here’s the problem. We all have a prenuptial agreement at the moment you get married. The state has wrote it. I can pretty much guarantee you you won’t like the one the state wrote. Write one yourself.

It’s the same way with a will. The state has already wrote you a will I can pretty much guarantee you’re next of kin is going to hate that will.

If you gotta buy a used car, you want everything in writing not just the other person‘s word at it. If you buy a new house you want it wrote down not just the sales person‘s word of what is or is not covered. So why would you have a verbal conversation with your significant other of how a marriage should be run and how divorce should be handled, but not write it down?

In my opinion, you get married you get a prenup. Make sure everybody’s on the same page. If they refuse to write it down, Handle it the exact same way you would handle buying that house. They don’t want to write it down you run.

How many people do you know of who got married then got divorced, and the judge absolutely screwed them over.? With a prenup, you are telling the judge how to handle the divorce. The judge isn’t telling you what happens. Again a prenuptial agreement is wrote by two people. Both people have equal say as to what is in it, both people are equally represented by attorneys. Therefore, nobody can claim one person had control over the other.

Keep fantasizing

Depending upon your age, that’s not too surprising. When I was about 25 I kind of felt the same way. I’m now 50+ My mom is little over 20 years older than I am. I’d say she understands me pretty well and I understand her.

The older you get the more wisdom you get and you start to understand the other side just a little more

We swap back-and-forth between real and fake. Some of it depends upon time to be able to go out and get one, because we go and chop ours down When we get a real one. It also depends on the weather if it gets really cold sometimes will just put up the fake one. But yeah, we do prefer a real one.

A ton of the arms bearers don’t see anything wrong.

But what about those on the left? There are liberal guns owners. Where are they? No clue.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 73 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Maybe that’s because we pissed everybody off.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Simple there’s a whole lot less military personnel then there are citizens.

Same logic of why do we hear more about plant crashes than car crashes. There’s a ton more car crashes. So the car crashes don’t register.

There’s less military so when something happens to them it becomes newsworthy

So they are donating money to help kids? Am I missing something?

they each have different prices yet I can't figure out what is the difference between them...

I know that at some point in the distant past when trees fell. There is no microbes or anything to decompose that they just laid there. Then after a period time microbes and other things were able to break down the trees. Which at some point that became coal.

What I’m curious about Is that the only time that coal was able to be created? That was worded poorly. What I’m curious of is that group of trees that fell over during that period of time is that the only trees that was to create coal. Or is this an ongoing process?

In other words, the trees that fall today will be at some point become coal?

 

I know the easy card to say is well It’s just racism. But there has to be another reason on why so many countries are doing it. Are the countries just claiming they can’t afford it meaning it’s a financial issue to have so many immigrants? Is that a lot of the Afghans were not doing their immigration paperwork, Or not showing up to immigration appointments?

What are these countries claiming is happening as to why so many from Afghanistan are getting deported?

I mean, just because the US are doing something stupid doesn’t mean England and other countries need to.

These countries have to realize the long-term side effects here. I’m curious what are these countries claiming is the reason for these deportations?

 

Holmes Family Rescue

In this TV show Mike Holmes and his son And daughter Fix people‘s homes that were renovated, but for whatever reason the renovation went horribly wrong. Mike and his family go in and they fix the home properly.

Well, I’m curious is for the actual home owner family, the family who actually owns the home, how much input do they have on the changes that are made to their house? Like for example, if they repaint room, does the home owner actually get a say in the color of the paint? If a wall was taken down make more of an open concept, does the homeowner actually get a say? If the outside of the house had brick on it. Does the homeowner see if that brick is painted?

I’ve been watching Mike Holmes for many years now and sometimes it seems like the family that he is helping out. Doesn’t really even know what’s happening until the job is done. What I mean is the homeowner family calls Mike or writes to Mike and says please help. Mike then goes through the house with the family to find out what was wrong and what family was trying to accomplish.

Then the family basically leaves the house for a period of time while Mike and his crew come in and fix the problems. But while fixing the problems, obviously some things have to be torn down. But when they are rebuilt, I’m wondering how much say does the homeowner really have as it’s rebuilt, in other words what it looks like.

 

Video in question

What she says is that she got equity in the divorce, but when she graduates school, she has to refinance and then pay the equity back.

I need somebody who understands finance to help me answer these questions. Is what she is saying that she got the equity at the time divorce, then when she graduates school, she takes out a loan and uses that loan to pay the equity back to the ex-husband?

The second question: if the above is the case, and in the context of the video, if she doesn’t think he will live that long, Why would she want to forgo the alimony then?

I mean, she isn’t getting the alimony right now, but she has the equity in the house which it sounds like she got that already, if he dies early well then she just basically keeps the equity so I’m not sure why she wants to Make the change she wants to make.

I’m not looking for the emotional answers of she’s a money grabber or a horrible person or any of those sorts of answers. Because that’s not what I’m asking.

What I’m trying to understand is the financial piece of it.

Because she said she would be willing to forgo the alimony if she could just have the equity now. But it sounds like she she’s already got the equity so I’m really confused.

Can someone watch that video and try to help me understand what financial benefit she’s going after?

 

video short of the episode in question

anyone know which episode of Star Wars Clone Wars this video is from?

 

Color me shocked

 

For example I'll send an e-mail with 3 questions and will only get an answer to one of the questions. It's worse when there are 2 yes/no questions with a question that is obviously not a yes/no question. Then I get a response of

Yes

back in the e-mail. So which question are they answering?

Mainly I'm asking all of you why do people insist on only answering 1 question out of an e-mail where there are multiple? Do people just not read? Are people that lazy? What is going on?

Edit at this point I’ve got the answers . Some are too lazy to actually read. Some admit they get focused on one item and forget to go back. I understand the second group. The first group yeah no excuse there.

Continuing edit: there are comments where people have tried the bullet points and they say it still doesn’t help. I might put the needed questions in red.
