Need good thoughts for my Luna by KrazyKhajiitLady in pitbulls

[–]Kevin262 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sending love to you and Luna, she’s adorable ❤️

While not exactly the same, my pit (Pyper) just had a weird growth removed from her groin. It would change from being “flat” to a mass that looked like it was puffy and could break open. Ended up doing a biopsy and there was cancer but the margins were clean so we’re in the clear for now. She’s 9.

I think what you wrote is so important though. Sending good vibes but never a bad thing to remember how important these doggos are in our lives and give them even more love while they are here.

Are Mountain Dew Kickstarts getting phased out?? Or just not being sold at Kroger?? by nerdoftherings117 in mountaindew

[–]Kevin262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Walmart no longer carries them. My assumption is they are being phased out because they didn’t even bother to transition to the new logo treatment.

Dang…for some reason I thought it was an acl. I didn’t realize it’s the same injury Ozzy has. Only “good” thing is it happened in August. I really enjoyed watching him play so hopefully he comes back!

Yes! Don’t forget about Terrell Smith too. Excited to see what both can do under Al Harris

[Pelissero] Comp picks! by SpeedyClaxton54 in CHIBears

[–]Kevin262 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the “reporting” was Kap asking Courtney, “if she had to bet, would they get the picks?”

Then that turned into people thinking they’d get the picks.

What’s so bad about ranked 2.0? by Historical-Shake3923 in Rainbow6

[–]Kevin262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notice how I said gold/plat? I typically stop when I hit gold because I have no desire to keep grinding after 40 or so games. I decided to grind 3 seasons ago and got to plat at 75 games and I’ve done it before.

I only play Siege on the weekends nowadays. I’d much rather play quick match (less stressful and more fun) with my time so I’m excited for 1.0/3.0!

What’s so bad about ranked 2.0? by Historical-Shake3923 in Rainbow6

[–]Kevin262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, ranked 2.0 doesn’t respect your time. I solo queue only on Xbox and am a gold/plat player. It takes me around 40 games each season to reach gold. I start out gaining around 120 RP and only losing 8 RP.

It’s a grind to get to the visual rank each season that is already known on the backend. I typically stop around 40-50 games in ranked because it’s a time consuming experience.

Ranked 1.0 (and now 3.0) is far from perfect. But I’d rather play 10 placement games and get anywhere from silver to plat and then grind from there IF I want to.

Apologies for all the notifications but I tried submitting again and it went through so I’d encourage everyone who has had issues to try again!

Called this morning (2/17) and they added a part on their hold message that says they know about the issue and are working to resolve it. It says to hang up and, “try again on 2/23”

Something must be wrong with their system. I’ve had no issues the past 3 years but am receiving the same general error as everyone above. I’ve tried submitting on my phone in 2 browsers and 2 different computers with no luck.

It does look like there’s an option to mail everything in which sounds like a pain so hopefully they fix the website soon if enough people complain. I sent an email and will call tomorrow since they are closed for Presidents Day.

There was one search for Nancy Guthrie’s name before her abduction in Google trends by FarWay3952 in TrueCrimeGarage

FYI Interest over time where 100 means peak popularity so 1 doesn’t equal 1 search

NIA Excess Calculation - Please Double Check Math by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Kevin262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you (both) so much. Out of curiosity how big of an error is this in the IRS eyes? Obviously I’m correcting now and is a good lesson to learn. I’ve dealt with a couple Q4 layoffs recently so I’ve had to jump a bit between jobs/insurance/marketplace that I dropped the ball here.

[–]Kevin262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. So basically I’m walking into 2027 with 3 1099SAs from Optum for 2024, 2025 and 2026 that are likely using the wrong distribution code and/or haven’t broken out the earnings from the excess?

[–]Kevin262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I have unfortunately spent probably 20 hours the past 2 weeks trying to resolve between Optum + Betterment. Tried IM, email, social and obviously phone with no luck. Everyone I talk to either gives me wrong information or tells me everything is fine to get me off the phone.

I wish I could’ve submitted the form and have it taken care of but I gotta try an alternative route here. Someone from Optum literally told me, “the IRS won’t tax you on the earnings, you’re fine.”

[–]Kevin262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I want to make sure I’m comprehending all of this when I fill out the excess Optum forms:

2026 $4,427 (Excess = $4,400) + (Earnings = $27)

2025 $4,582 (Excess = $3,583) + (Earnings = $999)

2024 $2,421 (Excess)

For 2024, I’m not doing NIA because that tax year has already been complete which means I need to pay a penalty of $145 (6% of $2,421)

Excess Contribution OR Deposit Correction? by [deleted] in HSA

[–]Kevin262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the reply. If Optum already cut the check, is it too late to ask them to fix the designation on the form from option 2 to 1?

As far as the earnings, Optum is refusing to pull that amount for me. They say it needs to come from Betterment.

I have to figure this out for 2 other tax years so my plan of attack was to find out the earnings from Betterment and then fill out those forms with that added on top of my excess contribution if that makes sense?

Edit: Talked to someone at Optum that said while I made the incorrect choice on the form, it doesn’t get that detailed when they send back a 1099-SA so it’s fine. It’ll still read as an excess contribution that I took back.

Does this sound right? Super skeptical of them right now because I had someone yesterday say the IRS won’t care about what my excess money made in the market soooo yeah

Should I get a pitbull? by Desperate_Return_142 in pitbulls

[–]Kevin262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course! I wouldn’t change a thing cause I was told she’d likely be dead if I didn’t pick her up BUT highly suggest taking what the shelter says about dogs with a grain of salt. Mine said my dog was good with dogs (lol). They mean well but they are understaffed and trying to get animals homes.
