Pissed off tonight...

I AM PISSED OFF right now with this dog Buster that is my sister's family dog we've been dog sitting for... Suddenly in the last 3 weeks or so he decides to be more aggressive regarding things that he will try to eat that he shouldn't or things to just rip to shred. Well tonight he decides to get at a 50th anniversary DVD box set that I gave my dad for Father's Day that he really wanted.

Now this box set was under a few magazines in a pile and somehow he got it out after knocking 2 magazines to the floor, and without anyone knowing it dragged the box set out to the lawn and proceeded to rip it to shreds. Three of the 4 DVD cases are fine but one of them he chewed up the corner big time and ripped the cardboard box they're all in, to shreds! This is a 50th Anniversary box set of Victory at Sea. This was a series in the 50s that aired on TV about the war (WWII)... Something he really wanted. I have now had to buy another box set since this happened...

Oh and before that, earlier he got at 4th of July dinner on the table (right after we had our dinner) and dragged some of it off the table, to the floor making a mess...

I love this dog but right now pissing me off... We've had him long enough (many months)... 3 more weeks and he goes back to his family...

Need any legit websites to find my 401k... HELP PLEASE!

I have a simple question here. I recently started thinking about my possible 401k and I'm already at the age of 50 here and I don't even know how to go about finding my 401k so I can see if there's any money there. The reason I'm skeptical is because most of my life I worked retail jobs and one waitressing job at a retirement home. Then I had a long period out of work because I developed some chronic health issues that I still deal with (get SSI now for 6 years), but not long ago I started working again in June 2025 part time as an Uber Eats delivery driver. . is there a legit website I can use to find out?? I ask because I Googled it and tried to log in to a recommended site but for some reason it had trouble with my social security number even though I have an account there...

I was using the U.S. Department of Labor Retirement Savings Lost and Found website... ANY HELP PLEASE!!

Are you a fan of the planner or no planner??

And of course I would forget about Uber's planner and schedule my delivery times for Friday - Sunday and now availability at all for my selected areas... I sure hope it'll still allow me to login at the normal times I do. I'm not a fan of this planner. I need to set an alarm in my phone every Friday morning as a reminder I think

ARE YOU A FAN OF THE PLANNER OR DO YOU PREFER NO PLANNER??

What is going on here with round ups??

Okay recently I switched the bank account I had linked with my Acorns my work one and at first I didn't realize that suddenly roundups were not turned on once I set it up. I've since done a couple changes like switching my account to aggressive versus not aggressive which I didn't realize it was on... And I have now selected to turn on roundups, entered my banking information again associated with this account, and well after I click to link it tells me I've linked an account but then it goes back to the screen to link a bank account. What is going on??

LOOK AT THE PICS I ATTACHED...

For oil life percentage on your car, what is the lowest it should be before going to the auto shop??

You just have a simple question I'm curious about.. it has to do with oil life percentage on your car.. I have a great mechanic shop that I've been going to probably for over two decades.. My question is because this place you had previous owners until they decided to sell it and retire and it was a husband and wife and he's a mechanic and she did the front desk. She always said that once your oil life percentage hits 50% that you should bring your car in. I used to chew my dad out about the fact that it would get lower than 50% and he still wouldn't do anything (car in his name and he helps out with repairs and such)...

With the new owners they don't say that. And I've come to realize you don't need to be at 50% from my understanding, that I could be at 15% or 0% oil life and be okay, right?? What I didn't like though was that last time I had an oil change it just kept getting put off and put off and for the first time ever in my life I noticed oil life can get to like negative 300%. That became concerning to me because I use my car for my job as an Uber Eats delivery driver. So once it got into like negative 10% and kept going, it quickly racked up while driving, that number changed fast. Like I would drive 2 blocks and the number would be different.

My question it now is since I'm at 15% and I haven't even hit the 70,000 mile mark which is on the sticker for my next oil change and the wrench light is on. We are going to work on getting that oil change again. And the oil changes are happening more frequently because I now for the last year use my old 2010 Honda CRV for my job (Yes, I have a 16 year old SUV with under 70K miles... I'm at roughly 69K now)...

WHAT PERCENTAGE IS GOOD FOR THINKING ABOUT MAKING AN APPOINTMENT?? I ask all this because I'm glad I was notified by my dashboard on my car that I'm at 15% oil life. It changed from displaying my car's mileage, to the oil life percentage and the wrench light went on a few days ago...

This car was bought used in 2015 and as much as a 16-year-old car is not always ideal, it's a Honda and still runs great, has lower mileage than a lot of 16-year-old cars and so I'm hoping because it's a Honda and they last forever (this is my 3rd Honda), that I can at least get another 5 years out of this car. I can't afford to trade this in right now or anything...

HELP.... I need suggestions for anything OTC to help with left thigh nerve pain beyond what I'm trying

I have a question here and I'm hoping someone can answer. I've dealt with chronic pain from GI issues for the last 14 years since 2012 and my migraine headaches for a little bit longer, however they were more sporadic until the pandemic when they became chronic. Now for the last like 3 months I've been having nerve pain, or at least what I think is nerve pain and the nurse practitioner at my doctor's office stinks the same thing, strictly in my left thigh...

She sent a referral to the neurology department at a well-respected teaching hospital that's part of a university here in California (go there for my other issues) and I was on a waitlist for longer than I care to be (2-3 months), and finally got an appointment for 2 weeks from now. I was given a prescription by the NP for Gabapentin and that has helped a bit but my issue is the prescription runs out in 4 days and I'm hoping I'll be able to get her to send in one more prescription for that because this one has zero refills and I just need it to tide me over at least until my neurology appointment. I'm also using Biofreeze patches because I can only do the Gabapentin at night cause it makes me sleepy.

The pain is terrible, I have trouble bending down to pick something up off the floor, I have to go really slow and be have that left leg be at the right angle, I'm limping pretty much all the time. And tonight I just could not get that leg to be very comfortable when sitting down on the couch or even with legs propped up on the couch...

MY QUESTION IS, is there ANYTHING over the counter for nerve pain that anyone else here uses that they would recommend?? Creams, other patches, OTC pills (like Nervive)... Like for example what about Nervive? I know about it but I don't know how well it works.. Or maybe there's something else someone can recommend??

I really am desperate and need something because I also need to be able to do my job which is as an Uber Eats delivery driver and today the pain just got worse as the day went on... Tomorrow I plan to wear a couple Biofreeze patches on my left thigh while I'm out doing my job. I might also consider just 100MG of Gabapentin because that's not too bad. It's just when I take more of it like I do at night then I'm sleepy...

Still don't know what triggered the issue exactly but I remember what I was doing when it came on suddenly and extremely painfully! HELP PLEASE!! SORRY FOR THE LONG RAMBLE...

Is paying for gold status really worth it??

Okay I've been using Acorns for a long while now and I'm just curious, is paying for gold status really worth it?? And if I'm investing just $300 a month right now, cause that's all I can do, how can I make the most of that money to where my earnings from investing make it so that at the end of the year I have definitely more than $3,600 (that's 300×12)... ?? Right now I have just under $1K saved with Acorns...

I'd rather turn that $3,600 Into $5K, but I understand that much might not be possible... Should I pick an ETF?? If so, which ones? I want to maximize my money to make the most I can...

This part is all new to me, I mean I know ETF stands for Exchange Traded Fund, but that'sabout it...

This one is what it looks like for me right now. (Pic shared) But what about others?? I mean I'm looking at the list of all ETF's, so what about things like Amazon, or Meta, or Google or any of those list of like 100 different options... ??

This is for all California Uber drivers regarding Prop 22 bi-weekly Thursday payments...

I'm just wondering if you had your Prop 22 show up yet.. it is Thursday and it's supposed to show up today. Cause the last Prop 22 payment was 2 Thursdays ago. I only do this part time but the last 2 weekends when I normally go out has been a little less due to family situation (and I didn'tgo out on father'sday). But should be 3 days worth (usually 4-6 days worth) of Prop 22 showing up for me today and it is now 10:30 in the morning and there's nothing... Anyone else experiencing this??

Hope this post is okay in this subreddit, this subreddit was recommended to me... Need sneaker advice here...

Okay I need some advice. I tried to post this in the sneakers subreddit but apparently moderators of that group don't like when you post questions asking for sneaker advice . I got feedback from people in that group when I made a post questioning about that rule and a lot of them had some things to say about that group but also this group got recommended to me by one of them and I thought I would check it out

I figured I would post her since there's a lot of what I call sneakerheads on here. I do not have dozens of sneakers cause I don't have the space for them. But I do have a lot of other shoes as a woman. However I do need to buy a new pair of good walking sneakers and I love New Balance but I'm also looking at Skechers because they are great too and I haven't had a pair in years.

I need a good walking shoe because of my job as a Uber Eats delivery driver. I'm looking for something preferably blue blue or it has blue in it maybe a little green depending on the shade of green. I'm not looking for like the boring old solid gray sneaker. I already have a New Balance gray with pink N on it.

I currently have New Balance 520 that I've had for the last like 3-4 years. I do also have a lot of Converse and 3 pairs of slip-on Keds that are floral which I love and I'm still looking for more floral Keds but I really do need a good walking shoe that has a lot of arch support and ankle support. Having a good arch support is important but the ankle support is also important for me because I do have scar tissue in one ankle after an injury...

Someone actually in an Uber Eats for him recommended New Balance 990 series because that's what they wear but I can't even forward or fathom paying over $130 for a pair of tennis shoes. There was a New Balance 880 V15 and Ellipse that I liked but they are roughly $145 now whether I look on New Balance website, Amazon or Zappos...

So now I'm back to looking at Skechers. Any recommendations for women's New Balance or Skechers WALKING shoes that are preferably under $100?? But if I had to break down I could probably go a little bit over...

SORRY FOR THE LONG RAMBKE!

HERE'S A PIC OF THE NEW BALANCE 520 I CURRENTLY HAVE THAT ARE GREAT!

SCREW YOU Uber Eats directions!

I want to say FUCK YOU to Uber Eats and they're sucking ass directions. It didn't help that the customer when I asked him what color are your apartments he kept saying they're the Oak Park apartments. I already knew the damn name. I needed the color of his apartments because on the street that he lives off of there are like five different apartment buildings.

​

And the first 3 don't have a name out in front. He should have said my apartment building has the name in front. I kept asking him is it the first or the second driveway are you the light green or brown apartments.. Finally somebody was leaving the first set of apartments and I asked them are these Oak Park Apartments they said they said no these are the Branham Oak Apartments and I asked if they knew where what I was looking for was and they said I think those are down the street.

​

Uber's directions kept having me go in circles and the guy was getting so pissed off and I apologized. He asked if I knew how to contact customer service it was that bad for him... and me. It got so long that Uber canceled. Just before that I found the apartments and I had to ask him are you the driveway before the sign or after the sign. He should have told me he was before the sign...

​

Uber canceled the delivery and then I suddenly see somebody outside running to the street and then he didn't notice me until I turned around to leave cuz it was canceled and it was him. I had to apologize and tell him that Uber Maps sucks and needs to change. He thought his food was going to be cold I told him I'd spending an insulated bag this whole time. This was a fucked up delivery!

Made a mistake and not taking Ajovy during the first week of the month... Need advice on something...

I have a question regarding Ajovy which I've been taking for a while now. I filled my prescription for this month but when I got home I put it in the fridge and I honestly just forgot to take it and here it is the 19th and I can tell I made a mistake in not taking it. The reason is, I've had migraines everyday for the last 3 days. I'm going to take it now but I want to know, because normally I take it at the beginning of the month.. Is it safe if I take it again sometime during the first week of July??

I ask because that's going to be less than a month but I want to get back on track. And also because I will be out of town on a family vacation from July 30th through August 5th, so I want to be able to take it as soon as I come back from vacation. So can I take it in the first week of July or will I experience side effects or something?? I tried Googling it but that was no help...

Why did this happen??

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AND WHY WOULD IT HAPPEN?? I suddenly got this email tonight and I'm confused as to why it would happen.. I did go out delivering today and it was fine except for when it randomly logged me out while I was out driving around. It wouldn't let me back on unless ai picked a time (that schedule time just started for me tonight it seems)...

​

I selected 5PM and got back on... I got an offer for just over $9 that I accepted... On my way to deliver I suddenly had like 10 offers in a row. I sadly had to decline them all even though I wanted to accept at least 8 of them... Had a pizza ordered that I needed to pick up and bring home for dinner...

​

Is this cause I declined so many offers?? Been doing this a year now and this is the 1st time I've had this happen... Can I get perks back??

Pissed off with Uber now since it locked me out while I was online and can't get back on...

I'm so pissed off right now.. I just finished a total of 5 deliveries and then suddenly after I finish this last delivery, Uber logs me out and I can't go online now unless I pick a time. I didn't have to pick a time when I first got on cuz that hadn't started for me yet. Right now it is 3:15PM here in California and this is pissing me off. I was checking to see if maybe there was aPM time for my area but no there's only a 5PM, but I usually head home around 5:30. I do 12noon till dinner time.. This is fucked up that it would log me out while I was already on... so I guess next weekend when I go out again I'm going to have to select the time. And so if I try to select 12noon, how long will it allow me to be on??

What can I do now??

Okay I need some advice here.. I've posted in here about the sand dollars I was trying to restore back to their natural color and I got some advice. Well a couple weeks ago I did put them in 2 different plastic containers in a dark spot which is the shed in our backyard on a somewhat cooler day and proceeded to then pour the hydrogen peroxide in each plastic container and closed the shed door so it would be pitch nlack in

I checked on them after 48 hours and not much of a change so I decided to give it a couple more days. I them stopped and rinsed them off in water like you're supposed to. However one of them has turned a slight bit of yellow and I'm not sure why, and other's only a slight change... And so while the bottom of the sand dollars are definitely a bit better than the way they previously looked, definitely not the original color.

​

WHAT CAN I DO NOW?? Would bleach be recommended? And if so how long should I soak them in bleach cauae I don't want to ruin any of these completely. A few hours? One day? If you're going to recommend bleach then would it matter whether it was scented or not because right now we currently have scented bleach and I believe it's no splash... HELP!

​

I'm sharing before pictures and then after hydrogen peroxide...

Need some help here finding cardigans...

You really can't post pics in a women's fashion subreddit?? Okay I need some help here.. I am looking for an open front cardigan in both BLACK and like a CAMEL color.. You'll see some examples in 2 websire links, of the type I'm looking for. The first link is a gray soft yarn open front cardigan in dark gray that I actually own from J.Crew (someone else selling is all). The second link happens to also be J.Crew but I'm open to any quality brand, but something of that style.... The one I own is nice and cozy because it's called soft yarn and I'm assuming this other one is pretty close to that, but I'm not sure. I came across it in my search but it's no longer available.. . Even did an image search for it... Usually these may be a little oversized, I do a small or medium...

I saw a black one on the Quince website that looks similar to this camel colored one but at $109 I hesitated LOL... I know it is June but I do like this type of sweater for when it's cooler and plus I would also be using them probably at the end of July when I'm go on a family vacation to the beach for a week where it's cooler. So if anyone has any suggestions please send a link if possible. I do obviously like an open front cardigan that's a little longer. But not down to my feet because I'm only 5'3", so I don't need to look any shorter 🤣 OH AND POCKETS, I LIKE POCKETS ON MY SWEATERS 😊 HELP! THANKS!

Need help figuring out the right size to order...

I have a question... How do I figure out what size to buy?? I've bought pants from them but it's been a while and my weight has fluctuated... I like these shorts but I'm used to the usual 6. 8. 10, etc sizing. I currently have size 10 in some J.Crew shorts in a size 10... But what size do I pick here?? I like these not only for the color (wish there was more), for the patch pockets... They are a FINAL SALE so I really need to be sure size wise...

I find their normal pockets small for my phone and these would work great cause I have to use my phone for my Uber Eats delivery driver job....

Anyone delivered during the World Cup days??

Has anyone here ever done Uber Eats during the World Cup?? Did you find you had more offers or about the same as normal? I'm asking because it starts on the 11th (Thursday) and goes for 39 days.

Question... Anyone doing Uber Eats driving have an Acorns investment account??

This might be a random question but I'm wondering if there are any Uber/Uber Eats drivers who invest with Acorns and have been able to link their Uber Pro card (because it comes with a routing/account number) to make weekly or monthly transfers to your Acorns account??

I've gotten Acorns to send those 2 tiny deposits to my Uber account for account verification, but when I go to enter the 2 amounts with Acorns, it fails to complete verification...

I'm in the process of emailing with Acorns support about it. I just wanted to know if there were any Uber drivers who have done this...??

IF that doesn't end up working, I'm thinking of trying for an Acorns debit account (already have a regular account with a major bank) to have my Uber Eats earnings deposited to and then transfer from there. Question here is, if I end up having to do that, when I do shop and deliver orders can I still use the Uber Pro card when it comes time to pay?? (Because the customer is paying, not me)...
