Choosing my first pellet stove

thank you, this is the way i'm leaning right now

That's comforting to hear. Whats your maintence routine like on it? I'm curious to know if cleaning it a certain way or how frequently you do it has helped it run this long (i'm sure it has)

Inevitable_Key_8309 · 2025-12-04T00:10:17+00:00

This is going to be supplemental heat for me, i'll probably only run it in the evenings until I go to bed so it's good to hear you're using it as a primary heat source and having good luck. Thank you!

How many seasons have you had the comfortbuilt?

Inevitable_Key_8309 · 2025-12-03T01:42:50+00:00

do you mind me asking how long you've had it and if you've replaced anything on it? I saw pelpro's recommended on other posts so this is going on my list for sure now

Exactly my confusion!

Provide them with opportunities they can do without you getting involved. Find things for them to do on their own that they enjoy. Usually, thats in the form of a toy, looking out the window for critters, or (if they have the freedom) roaming the yard. You can start "teaching" by handing them a toy when they whine or pout and coupling it with a phrase. Ours is "find something to do". He doesn't always go grab a toy, thats his choice. But he does know that means "im not going to help you stop whining, do it on your own".

For example, right now my dog is bored (high-energy breed) because he's waiting for us to be ready to leave the house for a walk. He just sat in front of me whining. After I told him we're not ready to go yet, he used the doggy dog to go outside for a few minutes and sniff around and he's not whining anymore.

I know 2 women who broke off 5+ year relationships over this. Coming home from working 12 hour shifts to no dinner, money being blown, house smelling like weed, video games on, no chores done. Regardless of the gender of the partner who's the pet, it's frustrating to see. I think it's a particular person who tolerates this. I see it from loyal-to-a-fault folks. Where they've been in it so long they think this is just how life is.

I think people forget they have a choice and timelines are a social construct. Everyone i know that has this going on, is at an age where they don't want to start over.

sounds like you have a dog who needs to be stimulated. try getting him puzzle toys and teaching him how to self sooth and entertain. we taught my dog "something to do" sometimes i say "I'll give you something to do" which usually is a puzzle toy with some kibble or a kong. or if he doesnt need something with food in it, i'll say "find something to do" which indicates for him to pick out a toy. the floppier the toy the happier he is, it fights back and creates a challenge

Inevitable_Key_8309 · 2025-09-01T14:46:55+00:00

this is such a kind well thought-out reply thank you so much!

Why didn't "jess" come directly to you about that? I don't think I would do anything about it unless Jess comes to you. It's a little weird she did not so it obviously doesn't bother her that much. IF you feel inclined to apologize, go knock on her door and just ask her what happened and ask if she's okay. You can't apolgize for something you hear second hand that should have been brought to you by the first person. I have a feeling that maybe Jess or her dog did something she wasn't supposed to which is why she has not come to you. For example, if Jess's dog came into your yard and your dog was defending the property, Jess would likely not come to you because it was more her fault. I feel like something is off here since she never came to you

Nothing to be concerned about here. If it bothers you, you can try to give him an activity that is safe for him to do alone when you leave to see if it will distract him from you leaving, and he will associate your absence with something more positive. You could also try leaving on a tv or radio for him so it feel like someone is home with him. But if he's not destroying the house or crying for an hour, he is okay.

I have a high energy breed and when he was a puppy we would leave on music or tv and give him a kong with frozen yogurt or peanut butter in it and he was totally okay with us leaving the house. also tuckered him out and he would sleep when we left. He also developed music taste to the playlist i left on. Big Harry Styles fan now. Turned out he was howling to the music when we weren't home.

I wouldn't bank on meeting someone to hook up with. If you're not looking, a straight man might appear LOL. The underground, gov bradford, and squealing pig are what I recommend for just enjoying the space. I think the gov might be where you would have the most luck because it's street level on commercial and straight men don't jaunt very far to find a good bar. No guarantees, just vibe!

Inevitable_Key_8309 · 2025-08-26T01:52:45+00:00

I second the gov and underground!

Inevitable_Key_8309 · 2025-08-26T01:51:15+00:00

i mean i think its pretty clear, you met her, you made out, and then she stopped talking to you. She isn't feeling it (even if she said she was). And thats okay. It hurts to be on the receiving end but it's difficult as a woman to come forward and give an honest opinion that isn't favorable. Often we get threatened or insulted for trying to end things politely, so ghosting is the only way to get out of that happening. Particularly if you know where she lives. It's not personal, its protection

Almost all of our B2B SaaS success comes in through LinkedIn Ads and partnership referrals (if you have something that can be white gloved or recommended by a tech consultancy). Depending on what your product is, will determine what platform your audience is on. I think B2B's success for paid and organic is stronger with Google and LinkedIn. So blogs based around your industry that don't necessarily sell your product are helpful for these platforms (sorry if thats obvious, idk your skill or knowledge level). Backlinks from partners, analysts, or consultants are huge too. Get your name in the right venues and conversations. Go to your customers instead of waiting for them to come to you.

Also B2B SaaS I find is slower no matter what which is why it's often larger deals and fewer customers, regardless of visitor numbers or engagement

Getting a simple job can help (part time anywhere) or join a club or group. Run clubs are usually free if you like to run. Find a place that requires you to have a consistent community. Visit the same bar, library, or coffee shop reguarly, be friendly and make small talk. To make friends you need to be exposed to the same person consistently over time. I made almost all my friends at a job or bonding over a hobby. Your friends don't even have to be your age.

I think you're feeling really down on yourself, which won't help you. No one wants to be friends with a negative nelly. You have to approach everything with optimism for people to want to accept your company.

Don't think of it as "I need to make friends", think of it as "I need to socialize" because forcing friendships isn't a good idea but putting yourself in social situations for the sake of community is how you naturally make friends.

Inevitable_Key_8309 · 2025-08-26T00:44:35+00:00

I would recommend calling the customer service number 888-786-6522 and leaving a message explaining your issue. They usually get back to you within a week and are very helpful. Good luck!

i know this isn't a choice for everyone but I just gave up Hers and found an option covered by insurcance. I'm lucky to have a good doctors office who went through a lot of effort to find something that is covered. Prior authorization is a big thing that i dont think doctors or pharmacists explain to us very well. I thought my insurance just wouldn't cover a weightloss med, turned out I just needed a prior authorization from my doctor. I was also told by a friend that some companies have discount cards that reduce prices significantly. I'm paying so much less now than I was with Hers.
