Hi all, I realize this may have been asked before but did not find any recent answers.

My question is: can/should I operate under one LLC if I want to provide a service (e.g. dog training) and sell goods (e.g. dog collars & harnesses) under one LLC (with a neutral name, e.g. “A Dog’s Life LLC”)?

The revenue would be small enough that creating two separate LLC’s wouldn’t make a lot of sense IMO. But would I need to keep track of separate expenses (eg separate materials for goods sold and hours or expenses related to training), and create two separate bank accounts?

Or can I, as long as I operate under one LLC name, just keep everything combined in one place without major drawbacks?

Thanks in advance!!!

Long story short, I was last in college over 10yrs ago and had some pretty bad group project experiences (crappy college that didn’t do anything as a consequence, students I was partnered with didn’t show up or do anything or dropped out, leaving me + one other student to do the work last minute leaving our grade to suffer etc.).

I’m taking classes again (online, I work full time) and my question is - how much group project work can I truly expect, and how badly will they affect my overall GPA if once again I’m doomed with a lack of group for said project?

It’s at a state college, criminal justice major + psychology minor.

Vent? Happy? Sad? I really am not sure what to tag this as lol.

Anyway, had IUI #1 last year which unfortunately was unsuccessful. Had a medicated + monitored cycle before that with timed intercourse too, also unsuccessful.

Took a break from January of this year until now. My mental health went down the drain (letrozole, progesterone, HCG trigger shots, watching what I eat/drink/consume/put on my skin, feeling like a failure, feeling like I’m not “woman enough” because I can’t get pregnant “naturally”, daily temping and peeing on a stick every single dang day to check LH and other surges with Inito for months on end will do that to me), I honestly still don’t feel 100% but I want to do what I can now because in two months, my employer is changing our health insurance provider and costs will go up by 30% monthly + deductible will be higher (I work in public safety, help save lives so I’m a “hero” and “so greatly appreciated”, but make less than $25/hr and the benefits are crap yay). We’re on cycle 17, CD2 currently, and I just got back from an appointment with my OB/GYN.

We will try 2 more IUI cycles, if we’re still unsuccessful then we’ll take another break over the rest of the summer, and get a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist for the fall (which is 3+hrs away one way by the way, hence the summer break because I will be BURNING through any leave I have saved up). At that point we’ll probably be looking at a laparoscopy (all my labs, ultrasounds, tests etc are “looking perfect”, husband SA are looking “great” so I’m guessing endo might be at play at this point but who knows).

I’m tired like an imaginary soldier who’s fought battle after battle, but the war isn’t over yet. Here’s hoping that one of the final two IUI’s will bring us good news. It’s just so frustrating and heartbreaking.

Also I’m a stepparent, and Mother’s Day is this weekend, so I’m mentally preparing to feel unseen & unimportant even though I want nothing more than to be a mother, too (I love my husband, our marriage is wonderful, but being the “other” in my own home when his kids from his previous marriage are around can be extremely alienating and messing with my head and self worth some days, especially when we’re TTC and unsuccessful so far). Okay, this is probably my hormones and menstrual self talking lol but for real, yo. I be sad 🥲
