I was lucky enough not to lose power in Steelton, but my phone service is out. Can’t tell if it’s an issue with my phone or an area-wide issue. I have T-Mobile
Debris includes spackle, drywall, concrete chunks, gloves, a drill bit, and more. All the remodeling was done by the seller. The plumber said it could possible go to small claims court. I’m just so confused and overwhelmed. I have sewer line insurance but don’t know for sure if they’ll cover it.
Everyone was so helpful with my question yesterday about my new baby who was stuck upstairs, so I thought I’d ask another question here. My new dog pulls a lot on a leash and doesn’t know that many commands from being moved from the shelter to foster home to the shelter and back to a foster home. I helped train the family dog when I was younger, but I only did an okay job. This is my first time doing training courses for a dog. I want to set him up for success!
The foster owners said he was great with stairs. He went up and down a few times without issue, but now he’s stuck upstairs and I don’t know what to do. I tried luring him with treats, he’s just staring at me and backing away when I get close. Does anyone have advice?
Looking for a way to supplement my income and it would be great to make money while helping people
I’m sure my girl would take a rat on July 1st because she’s a ravenous eater, but I’m not sure if it would be an increased risk of regurgitation to feed her just a few days after I move. I could push her meal day back for a week to give her time to adjust if necessary.
I saw some old posts recommending this method but I know care standards are constantly changing. I’m moving to my new house. I have several five gallon buckets to keep some of her tank water, as well as to store the filter medium. I packed some extra poly fill into the filter a few weeks ago to get more medium in case something goes wrong with one of the buckets. Now I’m more worried about keeping my girl comfortable. I was thinking I’d fill a two gallon bucket about 2/3 up with water and keep her bucket braced between my feet, or put it in a box surrounded by foam so it doesn’t shift or fall over. I want to make it as calm as possible for her.
I just closed on a house last week. I have around $60k left over, and I estimate that it will cost around $10k to finish off the small remaining repairs and get the missing appliances (window ACs, dehumidifier, washing machine, carbon monoxide detectors). I have $17k left in student loans. I was planning to pay it off in full once the house was settled, but I’m not sure whether it would be risky to pay that all off and have less household savings. I plan to keep the savings in my Fidelity account because I make about 3.5% interest rate in SPAXX. Is it best to pay the loan off in full, keep the full sum as an emergency house fund while just doing monthly payments of $200 towards my loan, or pay off the student loans in chunks of a few thousand dollars each month?
Just turned 25 and I’m doing this alone. I’m so proud of myself but also know I’m incredibly lucky. I work remote and was able to move to a LCOL area while keeping my salary
I was asked by my neighbor to cat sit for them over a few days last week. This included the simple tasks of feeding the cat twice a day and changing the litter box daily. They handed the money over to my mom today while I was at work. I got home from my shift and found 1/6th was missing. When I asked, my mom said she gave some of the money to my sister for ‘helping’.
My sister went over to their house one of the days and fully ignored both instructions. To be clear, I did not tell or ask her to help. She took the key to their house and went over, then announced she did it without asking permission. She said she couldn’t figure out how to change the litter box, so she just didn’t do it. I went over to change the litter box and found out she also fed the cat wrong, ignoring the simple sentence long instruction on how to do it right. I fought with my sister about overfeeding the cat (leaving me with not enough food for the rest of the days) and not changing the litter box, but my mom quickly took her side and tore into me relentlessly until I let the argument fall to the wayside.
I was completely blindsided today that my mom took money I earned because my sister ‘made an effort’, despite the fact that she did absolutely nothing right, went over to their house completely without permission, and that I had to go back over there an extra time to fix her mistakes. Now she’s saying I’m being extra nasty and I’m not allowed to ask for the money back. My sister is a grown ass woman, not a child, if that’s relevant.
Update: my mom agreed to pay me the money that went to my sister, but she let my sister keep what she was given. The money is coming out of her own wallet.
I posted here last time asking for advice because their cat rubs against me incessantly but bites when pet. I brought a cat wand for my visits this morning and tonight to help get out any stressed energy, then sat on the ground facing to the side. I felt bad not petting, but the cat seemed much calmer rubbing against me without me trying to reach out. After we played for a bit, they came and sat with their back to me and their tail slowly wagging, purring intermittently. I love all animals but get very confused with cat body language compared to dogs. I want to make sure I’m not missing out on more stress or anxiety.

My dad was involved in a car accident last week when someone made an illegal left turn without looking onto a major roadway. After finding out he didn't have a dashcam, she told the police officers she was turning right and he was speeding, which is why he hit her. She then filed a claim against our insurance saying that not only was her car damaged, but someone inside the vehicle was injured (this is despite the fact that EMTs on scene checked her family and my dad over and everyone said they were fine). My dad got in touch with a restaurant that had cameras facing the roadway, and they provided him with surveillance footage. The cameras clearly show that she made an illegal left following a car in front of her without stopping to look, and that my dad was not speeding. The video has been sent into our insurance and the other driver's insurance so they can fight it out. Are there additional legal consequences for knowingly lying on a police report to try and get the other driver's insurance to pay?
I was just given the form for approval to switch my remote working location, and found that there's this field on it requiring an internet speed screenshot. It doesn't need to be a test done with my own device, it just needs to show the average upload and download speed in the town. I have Venmo and Paypal, happy to pay so I don't have to drive three hours there and back just to take a screenshot. If you just google the words "speed test", Google has a tester embedded that will share the speed without showing your IP address or any personal details. Payment goes to whoever sends it first. I don't think you can send images in this subreddit, but comment if you're messaging me so that it's clear someone has fulfilled the offer. I'll comment as well once I've received the screenshot I need
I’m perfectly happy adopting any breed, just whatever dog I feel a connection to. I don’t mind if it’s a shelter that mainly has pit bulls. My main concern is supporting a good animal shelter.
