My neighbor has a BM that is 11 yrs old. She is suffering in so many ways, ACL tears, cancer growth, she can't get around obviously and is not living a good life.

She was asking me, is it possible to bring her dog to a vet and ask them to put her down. Or do vets only put down end of life dogs. It's very possible her dog can live a few more years. But at what cost?

I got two stray kittens about 7 yrs ago. Their mother was hit by a truck, so about 7 kittens were left bundled together. I took two and several ppl from work took the rest.

We previously had 2 other cats years earlier.

My daughter is now 26 and lived at home thru all the cats phases. A few months ago, she noticed she was having problems breathing, at first she thght it was her sinus or other all allergies. She went and got tested. She was told it was the cats.

I questioned how it could be possible. They are indoor cats and she never had issues before. We are going to try out the Navage daily flush..... Otherwise, I have no idea what will happen.

Is it possible to develop allergies to your cats after so many years? Is there something I can do? I just ordered two air purifiers and a Navage machine.

I retired in 2023. After retirement I filed two workers comp case.

Both were settled in March 2026.... It is now August and I still haven't received the checks. When I speak with my lawyer, he tells me workers comp said they sent the checks. I explained, I have lived where I lived for 12 yrs and never had mail go missing. It is likely they never sent it.

Now, my attorney is saying he sends them emails and no one is responding. I told him, the stipulation said I needed to be paid in a certain amount of time or there were penalties, I was entitled to..... The attorney said, as long as workers comp logs it into some system as the check went out, they are covered. That sounds like complete BS.

At this point I feel my attorney is too soft on them. They can't prove they sent anything out. I asked to have them send it certified or send to my attorney office and I pick it up.

Is it too late to get another attorney, I feel since they never sent the checks, the nulled the contract. So, I should be able to redo this case and now want more money.

Just curious, how much do you feel Zilliow estimates are off?

I see a lot of homes in markets aren't selling... I always heard, "It's the price!" Then I check the history and see several reductions.... Some as high as 20K in a month. And even then the home isn't selling. Plus Zilliow has its estimated value, still lower than the listed price.

Is Zillow spot on?

Or are Zillow adjusting their estimate each time the price is lowered?

Or is it not selling because buyers are taking the Zilliow numbers to heart and won't negotiate until the asking price is close to the Estimate on the website?

Greetings all, here is my dilemma

I recently moved to Texas in March. I noticed it really hasn't been too hot lately, although my neighbors have told me to enjoy it because that will change.

So far, I havent needed to use my AC but once or twice. My wife loves the heat and humidity, for her it can't get hot enough. She takes long hot showers and never turns AC or ceiling fans on. I come into the house and it feels "stuffy".

I told her, we have to run the AC or the humidity can cause mold to grow in the attic or other places.

About a week ago, we got an alarm system installed. After installation, the agent asked what we keep the AC on normally so he can set it. I said, we don't use the AC. Maybe he misunderstood and set it on and left.

My main question is, are we supposed to keep the AC/fan running season long, to prevent mold or not?

When we lived Single, she had 2 apts, each one had mold. I told her the problem is she likes places very humid, she claims it was because the apt were old. The apts were built in the 2000s, I lived in homes all my life built in the 1930s and 40s and never experienced mold.

I recently bought a house, now I am looking for insurance. As everyone knows, prices are thru the roof. Several big companies have told me 5K, another big name company told me $2K.

I am looking to buy a policy with just the bare minimum. Just to cover me for a major event.

I don't need coverage for a broken shower head or leaking faucet..... Just in case my house burns to the ground.

I have no mortgage, so I can set my own limits. I also have another home in a different state, so I don't need hotel coverage, in the event of repairs.

I already had a pipe burst and caused damage, repairs I paid out of pocket.... And it was a lot cheaper then had I gone thru an insurance company (about $1200). So, I am willing to handle the smaller things.

I saw someone in here once mentioned what to ask for when looking to save money on a policy. That's the kind of information I am looking for... What should my numbers be? Thank you for any help.

Saginaw, Texas.

I sincerely don't know what to do.

Recently, I brought a house and invited my GF to move in. I've had dogs all my life, so it was natural to want another, with a house and nice yard. My GF had a lab/terrier mix, so she is used to dogs and loves them too.

After about a month in the new house we decided to get a dog. We went to the shelter, there was a Belgian Mal, with only 4 days left before euthanized. She was "1yr 1 month" old, so this was an easy decision.

Fast forward 2 weeks and the GF can't stop sneezing, wheezing, etc etc. Today, she asked, "What if I am allergic to her (my dog)?". I blew her off and didn't respond, but it hurt me to the core to even think it's the dog. She has literally become so attached to me. I can't walk in a room, without her following me. I'm retired, so my whole day is surrounded with her. 7am runs, 9am dog park, 11am YT training videos, rest from 12 to 2 as I go to gym. Then another walk, after tossing the ball in the yard.

I just can't imagine her going back to a shelter, heck I can't picture her going anywhere.

Is it possible to be allergic to one dog but not another?

I truly believe something like this could sink our relationship.

**GF and I have been together 9yrs. We both lived in 2 separate states our whole relationship, until I retired, then I moved to Texas, she was able to get a job transfer, so she moved here with me.**

I just bought a house about a month ago, 1st two weeks I was living there alone as I got some renovations.... At night I was getting a creepy feeling. Like during my showers, it felt like someone was walking past the door. During late night hours, I swear I could see the shed light on. But when I go, it's off.

One day, my neighbors across the street stops by to welcome me to the neighborhood and share some cookies. The wife starts talking about the couple that used to live here, she says the husband died tragically. I didn't ask and she didn't go any further.

The next day, me and the neighbor's husband is talking..... Then he mentions, after the husband died, the wife struggled financially but couldn't keep up with the bills..... The one day she commits suicide in the house. WTF!!!

I am certain I saw on a disclosure form a question about if someone died in the house. And it said "NO". I even joked with my agent, I wouldn't want to buy a house that someone died in. And she stated, the house was being used as an Airbnb and the daughter decided to sell it.

This whole thing has been freaking me out.... Especially late evenings when I heard "house sounds".

Do I have any recourse any sort of compensation
