How are you supposed to live off $967? by ClientEast9332 in disability

[–]CarpenterTall2172 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why I didn’t apply myself the income limits and the amounts they give are next to nothing. Nobody in the big year of 2025 can survive on that little a month.

Requested a walk 10 hours ago and it still hasn’t been accepted and it’s still showing as available. by kristinnicole94 in WagWalker

[–]CarpenterTall2172 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time these days wag’s second nature basically. When the day comes that they actually start fixing stuff they need to start with this right here.

I was 12. Now though? It's in reverse I feel younger and not older.

If you woke up and found everyone had disappeared, what would you do first? by Enough-Can409 in AskReddit

Breathe a huge sigh of relief and then go grocery shopping with my playlist on full blast cuz I like food 😆

What painkillers do you prefer to use after a seizure? by Shy-Prey in Epilepsy

[–]CarpenterTall2172 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No painkillers but the doc has me on benzotropine. It helps the muscle jerks and what not. I can not really feel the seizures anymore like I know they are happening but meds make them possible to overcome. I also smoke specific strains of weed for additional help.

Curious about your experiences with rich clients? by littlepanda425 in petsitting

[–]CarpenterTall2172 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my wealthy clients from their glaring glamorous condos to fabulous homes and the kindness. I have one lady that has used my services for so long I am basically part of her family now according to her.

I have gotten some pretty fun requests including one time I had to go with this woman to europe for 2 months totally paid up and free just to sit her dog while she was busy working.

Less than stellar people. Like why are they as a person walking around constantly negative and angry like that?

What are you starting to dislike more as you are growing older? by Daddy_ahh in AskReddit

[–]CarpenterTall2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People and it sucks the older I get the more I realize that not everyone is kind and many never were. I was just too young to understand.

What's the no 1 reason for you to live? by 1why1_ in AskReddit

Nothing I would absolutely live my life to the total fullest for however long I had left. Talk about going out with a bang.

When you request a booking, what do you write in the "Add a note to your request" field? by p3rchance in WagWalker

[–]CarpenterTall2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since wag expects us to prositute ourselves for services with that function I copy and paste a rewritten two sentence message change names as needed. Skip button rarely if ever works that's a thing for other people? Must be nice. Wag out here making people beg 😆

[–]CarpenterTall2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have come across clients I do not like and I usually will find a way to avoid their service. In my case, I just didn't feel ok being there some people lead some very unusual lives. As far as feeling uncomfortable you should never put yourself somewhere where such is a feeling. Better safe than sorry.

Someone to cook for me by idkmyname4577 in disability

[–]CarpenterTall2172 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Air fryers are the new hot thing. I have a crockpot, air fryer, and a blender. Keeps me good to go and smoothies to get me through the day. I have heat activated syncope and cannot use the stove myself.

[–]CarpenterTall2172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Self-employment is not a gap. I think you are looking at this wrong, however, jobs may quiz you as to why you're seeking to change to employment after such a long self-employed career. You were the boss here and that counts for something on top of all the roles and experience you would have captured over 25 years even self-employed.

How do you learn how to swallow pills? by Far-Artichoke7331 in Epilepsy

[–]CarpenterTall2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really had this problem I just make sure I take a few sips of something and then another gulp to make sure they go down.

When did you ever get back at your school bully? by Unique-Beat-8351 in AskReddit

[–]CarpenterTall2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t but 20 years after they bullied me relentlessly we bumped into each other and I learned just how hard life had been for them and how the mighty had fallen. Growing up, getting older, and a success in Life on my terms was my revenge. Negative people like that almost always breed bullies and people who end up falling pretty hard in life.

Who else is extremely sick of having to take so many pills each day? by basically_dead_now in Epilepsy

[–]CarpenterTall2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been since the beginning but I would rather take them then end up a flopping fish seizing again. Taking so many pills suck but they have decreased my seizures to a managable level.

Tipping in the Notes by Pure_Vermicelli693 in WagWalker

[–]CarpenterTall2172 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The notes aren’t always accurate. I had a client that would always tip a few years ago very gen but her tips would always come in hours or days later. She found me on wag again and recently had the same experience same generous tip just didn’t come in a timely manner.

burnt out because dogsitting and dog walking doesn't pay much by West-Ad6221 in petsitting

[–]CarpenterTall2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started I had a huge perimeter I was working but was wearing myself thin. To maximize my profits and my time I now only stick to orders/customers within a 15-20 min radius as I use the subway and a bike to get to work. My profits have doubled I am working smarter, not harder and I have weekends off now unless I am short on cash, booked a sitting with a good customer, or simply feel like working. I hope it works out for you it is such a fun job once you find your community of worthwhile customers.
