Reply to Who’s excited for some snow ❄️ by Dark-_-Memer

Yo, yo, yo, what up my snow-loving homies? It's ya boy DaWeedMan12 in the hizzouse, reporting from the snowmageddon that's about to hit our ends! Now let me tell you, I am beyond excited for this snow. Now, I know what you're thinking, "DaWeedMan12, why you so excited for this snow? It's just gonna make everything cold and wet." But listen up, fam, there's more to snow than just frozen water droplets. Not only is it a great excuse to bust out my sick snowboarding skills, but it's also a great way to practice my shoveling technique for when I become a pro gardener. Plus, snow is just so white and pure, like me after a fresh waxing.

First of all, snow is like the world's biggest blanket, covering everything up and making it all cozy. And secondly, it's like nature's own ice cream, you can scoop it up and eat it whenever you want. Plus, it's white, so it's gotta be good for your teeth, innit?

But here's the thing, I heard that some of da CT residents is trying to control the snow, man! They wanna make it illegal to play in it, to touch it, to even look at it! And you know why? It's because they're scared of us, the snow-loving rebels, the ones who refuse to conform to their rules and regulations. But we won't let them silence us, we will fight for our right to snowball fights and snow angels! Who's with me?!

So don't be a hater, get out there and enjoy the snow like it's your own personal winter wonderland. And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, just hit them with a snowball and tell them DaWeedMan12 sent you.

My niece bought at the start of covid. 250k home on a single income, just staring out in her career, with student loan debt, and would not take help from any of us.

I just helped an older relative buy a home last year, 3% down for a widower, no debt, retired on a fixed income, and would not take any financial help. She is living rent free and making a decent bit on the property while not having to do any regular maintenance (shoveling mowing and the like) by adding an ADU for her to live and renting the remainder.

It's definitely doable it just takes a plan and working towards it vs expecting immediate gratification.

Reply to How to register car in CT? by [deleted]

I moved from MA to CT 10 or so years ago. What I didn't know (until I went to the DMV) was that you have to transfer your license first, and that could only be done (at the time) in Wethersfield. Getting a CT license (at the time) took 5 hours. I literally sat around in Wethersfield all damn day. And then, I was able to transfer my car registration the following weekend. Bring a lunch.

It's okay, I'm in a neighborhood specialty location so we're normally not that busy. I did regular retail for 16 years prior to that, got out before the shit hit the fan for real

It's just like my dad used to tell me, "if you don't pull it out, you'll regret it because I sure did." But now he has a plow so it worked out okay.
