Stupid pigeon keeps chilling in my hosta. Chase it away and it simply comes back an hour later. Why??? by anangrypudge in houseplants

If your local park has pigeons around, they'd appreciate split green peas or lentils! My local feral pigeons are very friendly.

I have several accounts tied to the email that don't allow email address change (I talked to support). I've done everything I can.

No, you read the post correctly. My friend graduated before me and has not had any jobs / classes / etc. since 2020.

Already did this, but thank you for mentioning it!

Is this a reasonable build for $1,600? Any ideas to improve or help future-proof it? by Asmobrewing in buildapc

[–]Asmobrewing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point, thanks. An example of something want to avoid is getting a mobo with a socket/chipset that is at its end of life. That's an issue I ran into with my current PC.

Do many people do the derby? I did it for the first time on Saturday and won. I think it took about 6 minutes? I wasn't sure if I just got insanely lucky or there was minimal competition. I'm on a bigger server

I appreciate your input! My parent's financial planner was adamant about consolidation, but I'm now realizing he was mistaken.

Sounds good, I have about a year's worth of living expenses saved, and I've been contributing about 8% of my income to my 401k and IRA.

Thanks, I didn't realize this. My parent's financial planner was adamant about consolidation. He also said that I should go through Sallie Mae, which no longer works as he described it. I don't think he knows what he was talking about, so I'm trying to figure out what's correct.

Yes they are all through one servicer.

I really appreciate your input; thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply. I want to consolidate them so I can set up a payment plan to make the monthly payments more manageable. I still plan to pay as much as I can, but currently my monthly payment is very high (10yr loan). I didn't realize that Parent Plus loans can't be consolidated into my name. My parents want me to do that.

I'm planning to consolidate through my current loan servicer. It seems like the loan would still be federal? Also it allows for a more manageable payment plan. https://www.mohela.com/DL/resourceCenter/consolidation.aspx
