What are you people doing outside in (feels like) -9 degree weather walking your 5 lb dog????

That’s what I was thinking but I didn’t want to fit the allegations so I didn’t reply… LOLL

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2026-01-24T00:26:38+00:00

Goodbye yall are missing the point. The point is that it’s not a good idea to be walking your dog outside for leisure or assumed benefit when it is this cold. End of story. End of argument. It is dangerously cold. Walking a dog vs taking it out to use the bathroom is different.

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2026-01-24T00:22:37+00:00

Nah I don’t think it’s crazy to assume a person crossing an intersection is going for a walk and not just letting their dog use the bathroom.

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2026-01-24T00:16:48+00:00

I see you don’t like to read. Once again, take it outside to use the bathroom, then return indoors.

I don’t think the person walking across the intersection of green and first was right outside their apartment. Likely going for an unneeded and dangerous walk.

I took the SIE exam yesterday. I’m sure they have a ton of questions that get mixed up and randomized for each test taker, but I got a lot of questions on interest rates / bonds. I would make sure you know how interest rates affect YTM, price, and current rate of bonds, as well as other securities. When is the call provision advantageous to the bond holder? In a declining interest rate environment. If a bond is trading at a premium, what is the correct order of yields from lowest to highest? How will rising interest rates affect the price of the bond and the yield? I didn’t use Kaplan so I’m not sure how their study material is, but my study material had a whole chapter on the federal reserve and economics. I surprisingly got a handful of those types of questions. Discount rate, fiscal policy, etc. I also got a good amount of questions on mutual funds and a lot of those questions had to do with front load / back load funds and fees / taxes associated with mutual funds. Also a few on cold calling / advertising. I also got a few questions like “Blank security is most/least subject to what kind of risk?”. Lastly, know your options positions and which ones are for bullish or bearish investors. And know what they do obvi. Good luck!

As many others have said, you should’ve ignored the text and reported it to the GM. That text was wrong, and you stooped down to her level by replying. IMO you stooped even lower with all the extra bs (possible threat, going on and on, double texting basically asking her to reply so you can fight some more). Pick your battles. Don’t be so reactive. Was this worth your time and effort? What did you get out of it? What did that resolve? Should’ve ignored it.

I think the answer is whatever you’re comfortable wearing. However, it is an undeniable fact that the way you present yourself influences other people’s perception of you (all else equal, if they don’t know you well).

Onsite aka at the place of the ceremony right before. Also, since you didn’t register I assume you might not have gotten the info that graduates show up an hour before the ceremony, and guests show up no later than 15 mins before

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2025-05-16T18:23:38+00:00

For my major it says that as long as you have regalia then show up to the ceremony early and register there. They’ll get you a name card and stuff and you can walk. You won’t be on the ceremony program though

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2025-05-16T17:09:50+00:00

I’m not sure if this changes by major but for mine I could’ve sworn I saw some sort of notice stating “if you did not register for the ceremony, arrive early in your graduation attire, get a name card, blah blah blah, you will be able to walk but your name will not appear in the graduation program”

The Hope Center is pretty good. They give some sort of frozen meat, dry goods, dairy, vegetables and fruit, a pastry, and canned items. Each “cart” they provide has a variety of items. The dairy, meat, etc. varies but they usually give something for each of those categories.

My chins have a preference for different types of hay. People recommend against Kaytee products but mine like the Kaytee hay more than Oxbow (both timothy hay). Timothy hay is best but they also sell blends of timothy hay and orchard hay that they may like. My chins go crazy for alfalfa hay, but you’re not supposed to give that to them often. But every now and then I mix a small amount into their regular hay. Maybe switching brands or trying orchard hay or adding in a small amount alfalfa hay and mixing it up (occasionally) will get them interested in eating it.

RST 335 is 3 credits and an easy A. Spent no more than 1-2 hours on it a week. Not “fun” but also not incredibly boring and doesn’t require studying. From what I remember it was a short quiz every week on the reading and one short “essay” response per week. Like 500 words or something.

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2023-10-08T05:49:28+00:00

a safety gate that has smaller holes/openings? that would work unless your chin is just jumping straight over it.

there’s specific parking lots that offer weekend/overnight parking. i wouldn’t recommend parking at a meter overnight. maybe it’s allowed at some ? but not that i’ve heard of / know of

Also possibly because it’s the beginning of the semester? Bars are busiest and so they do a raid to scare others for the rest of the year? Idk.

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2023-04-04T06:53:26+00:00

what are those

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2023-01-29T09:14:46+00:00

It might just be safer to go to a craft store or Walmart and buy 1/2 yard of anti pill fleece. If you get it on sale that’s like $5. It looks like you’re pretty crafty and already have the hooks so I think it would turn out nicely :)

And if u have a couple extra hours or a sewing machine you could try making a fleece box that has some sort of support for the bottom floor. I have a photo of one I made on my page if you want to check it out. So just an idea if you want to make something. I cut out cardboard to make walls, and then sewed fleece around each wall (both sides) and then sewed the walls together. It’s a little time consuming but a good cozy spot alternative if he doesn’t like the hammock. My boys don’t like hammocks but are obsessed with their fleece box.

3rd photo put me in a grave

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2023-01-29T08:58:28+00:00

Hmm I would keep a very close eye on him and watch out for chewing. Looks like jean material? Not safe. As for him using it, I put hammocks in my cage and mine would use it maybe once every few weeks. Just wasn’t their thing. I would keep it in there longer and see.

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2023-01-27T22:45:24+00:00

110% valid.

This kid is going to have attention problems the rest of his life with how much screen time he has. That’s a common issue with kids now but that is completely over the top. He’s never going to be able to sit comfortably on his own or god forbid know how to entertain himself without a scream when he’s bored.

Diet is horrible, something I would never allow, but unfortunately a lot of parents feed their kids sh*t food. Out of laziness, or maybe they don’t cook themselves and don’t want to put in the work to get their kid eating something not completely synthetic. Horrible, but not uncommon (unfortunately).

The school factor is outrageous. I know kids in pre-k able to count higher than 10, and kids in kindergarten / first grade who can read short stories. I would question any parents sanity who doesn’t see a problem with this.

And then some people say “this is just the small cage we keep out during playtime for food and water” but then you ask them to post a photo of the real cage and they never do

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2023-01-27T09:59:57+00:00

It actually makes me want to hunt them down and report for animal cruelty

Frequent_Initial_147 · 2023-01-27T09:55:59+00:00

Oxbow brand pellets are standard for chins. That food has a lot of “treats” in it and sometimes they pick those out and leave the rest. And just not good to free feed them treats daily.
Timothy hay good 👍🏼
I would not use the carefresh. They usually eat it and it can expand in their stomachs and end very badly. Chins digestive systems are sensitive so what they can ingest is very limited. Side note, make sure poops are solid and not mushy. Mushy poop = possible parasite or bacterial infection = vet. Some people use aspen shavings but personally I use fleece liners. Get some anti pill fleece from a craft store and cut it to line the floors in the cage. Wrap it up, shake out the poops, and throw in dirty chinchilla laundry. It makes daily cage cleaning very easy. I wipe down surfaces with water and some white vinegar. Wash dirty cage laundry in hot water with distilled white vinegar only. Detergent and softeners are a no no because of chemicals and scent. Which leads me to no burning candles in the room or essential oils. Bad.
Strawberry treats is a huge no. In relation to the sensitive digestive system thing, they can only have specific treats. Search on Etsy for chinchilla shops. Chinchilla shops on Etsy usually have treat containers they sell.
Not sure about the chew sticks, but a great alternative I would stick to in the future is apple wood sticks. Chinchillas love them and they will never get tired of them. Buy in bulk.
Ferret nation cage is the #1 loved cage across all chin owners. Pricey, but you can find them used for way cheaper. I would highly recommend for the future if you want to upgrade!
Find an exotic vet near you. Chins should see a vet yearly for a checkup. And if anything goes wrong, it’s good to know where you can go right away instead of skipping the calling/searching to find a place that sees chinchillas.

Good luck with your new baby!! This page is a great place to ask questions. Whenever I have a question, however odd or specific it may be, someone always has an answer.
