The firework phone number has been called, this is insane.

I got the udemy practice test and got a 58%, I am truly stressing now. I take my online exam at 7:45 am tomorrow and I am a bit overwhelmed on what to focus on. Any advice or am I just cooked?

EDIT I took another dion practice test and got a 77. Different test I only recognized 2-3 of the questions.

I am not sure how the VA math works but I have

50% PTSD

, 30%Migranes,

30%IBS(they combined a lot of my stomach conditions into this rating. I more so just live with constant or at least at near constant nausea)

20 right shin splints with patellformal pain

, 20% lower back pain,

10% tinnitus

10% dermentitis

,10% left shin splints

, and10% rhinitis.

I do not have a VSO ( Ive struggled to find one that picks up the phone)

I think if I understand correctly I am at 91 or 92 real percent rounded down.

I recently had a increase c&p for my migranes and I told them how I probably have to call out of work once a week at minimum and when they happen it is debilitating even with the medication I'm prescribe. But the rating stayed at 30%

Hello all! I am new to the area, and a milspouse, I am on the search for work in IT at a help desk or similar role and just wanted to know if there were any companies to look out for or companies to look into. I am working on my comptia certs now and have a secret clearanc, but I'm struggling to find gainful employment. Thank you so much!

Backstory: adopted a cat a month ago from the shelter, she came from a hoarding home.
She is a 3 year old spayed cat who outside of sometimes (once/twice) a week pees outside her box.

So I have two litter boxes one upstairs and one downstairs for our cat. We are running into an issue where she sometimes uses the box and sometimes doesn’t. We took her to the vet and they said it’s because of the hoarding situation (she’s 3) and she doesn’t know what is good to pee on and what’s not. She doesn’t poop outside the litter box but only pees.

It’s normally on blankets, clothes, or in a basket with nothing in it. I am not sure if she just doesn’t like the litter boxes, or if this is a larger behavioral/routine issue. My wife was already adverse to getting a cat and I am trying to do all I can to make sure she uses the box. I don’t want to rehome her because she’s been through so much but my carpet cleaner and enzyme spray ( I normally use the spray and let it sit then vacuum it up) can only do so much.

So this post is a little asking for advice and sharing a win.

Yesterday my wife and I went to the local humane society and found a reclused 3 year old sharp pointer cat with a serious dental problem ( something genetic ).

Well yesterday we set her up in an empty bedroom with a bed, some toys, a litter box, and a few hiding spots. She was absolutely terrified which is understandable. She came from a home with 30 other cats and at rescue the humane society found her (and her 29 brothers and sisters) matted, dirty, and malnourished.

Well today I went into her room and sat in a corner and just stayed still and quiet. Lo and behold, she slowly (as close to the ground as she could get) walked to me and started cleaning herself. She then pushed herself against me and showed me her belly.

My question/advice: how can I foster her to become more comfortable, and how do I go about introducing (obviously not now) her to our 1.5 year old very excitable dog. Our dog is non aggressive and has only ever shown curiosity when around cats on walks.

Also what can I do to better help the 3 year old cat feel more at home and secure?
