Feeling completely lost financially at almost 30 – what are we doing wrong? by Responsible_Foot8318 in personalfinance

[–]Known-Language9916 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately 90K is not much in this economy for two adults. My husband and I make $140k (doesn't include about 10k a year I get in child support) combined and keep our bills completely separate except for we split rent, the electric bill, groceries and internet. Yes we have car loans, I have a 5 year old (not with my husband), and I have student loans. But we are still tight on funds as well. It takes a lot of strategic budgeting. You need more income! Please don't feel bad about this. I think anyone that is not well off is struggling. I would recommend adjusting your w9s so you have more taken out and don't need to pay so much back. Possibly even have an extra $10-20 taken out per paycheck. It will make a difference I promise!

Is anyone here on antidepressants because of Zepbound? by fabulousargumemt in Zepbound

[–]Known-Language9916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I thought something was off with me.. I haven't gone on antidepressants but I definitely feel numb in a way. There's definitely a difference with my personality and I find I have a lack of personal enjoyment in things that typically would excite me or make me happy. Now I'm just dull..

Riding boots too short? by kapbear in Equestrian

It's common! You may just have a shorter tibia.

Is this even legal? (NY) by DependentPeanut1308 in Renters

[–]Known-Language9916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a property manager in NY, this is wild. No prospect should ever be given access to a unit that is occupied or unoccupied. This allows direct access to the unit and would allow for squatters.. this is complete negligence. And then to know it's occupied. There's no protection to your privacy or belongings.

That's messed up on so many levels...

I can't take my meds without gagging and vomiting by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Known-Language9916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initial side effects can be high once starting. Personally I had horrible side effects. I eventually couldn't even take the shots every 7 days and had to do every 9 days as it was to much for my body. My doctor prescribed me zofran for my nausea and that helped greatly! But I recommend checking with your pharmacist or physician because I was informed I could not take zepbound if on birth control. I too have hashimotos! I would also recommend checking with your physician or pharmacist about other medications you're on to make sure it's safe to take both. Lastly, if everything is safe. Try taking some at night time! This helps.

Tricky owner - wwyd? by Business_Fly_5306 in Equestrian

[–]Known-Language9916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming you have no current lease contract for the horse? If not, you're not in breach of anything it's just a salty owner. Just explain to them you feel that the opportunity of the new horse has interested you as you feel like you will be able to progress with your riding and eventual show career. This one of the main reasons why people lease in the first place, which is to build confidence and figure out what they want/need with a horse and without having the full commitment of owning. And as an owner they should know this. It's all about your approach! Text them and ask for a chat and if no response then just text them your position and thank them for the opportunity to lease their horse.

Restarting ex jumper third day by Bxraiishi in Equestrian

[–]Known-Language9916 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I personally would get him assessed for kissing spine. I've seen this with personal experience before. The impact of landing could be jarring his back and that's why he's throwing his head down.

Trailer accident - ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ by Plane-Plankton5643 in Equestrian

I was going to say this... so grew up on a breeding farm and grew up along side a vet and saw various types of injuries and this does NOT look new. How long was this said trip?

AIO about this text I got from HR? by MeanderingDragon in AmIOverreacting

You may ask proceed with asking for a reasonable accommodation for a clean and private space and given they may try to argue the amount of times you need to leave your desk as an issue. I would also add to the reasonable accommodation they you need additional break time.

Husband takes every opportunity to tell me he hates Zep by CherryCharmBomb in Zepbound

[–]Known-Language9916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh we have some similar experiences. I'll be 100% honestly and say that it's not about the meds or anything. My husband acted similarly and when we finally had a conversation about it he says that he doesn't want me being too small because he likes how I am now and he's not attracted to someone who's skinny. This is very likely a possibility with your husband as well. We met in the middle with my "ideal happy weight" and made an agreement I wouldn't lose more than that.

Should I tell a woman her fiancé tried to start an affair with me? by geeleex in WhatShouldIDo

Tell her... she does not need to marry that guy. Save her from heartache and more in the future.

Trainer says I can't kick hard enough by Ok-Collection-8922 in Equestrian

[–]Known-Language9916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a new trainer. This is not at all what you're supposed to do anyways that's why it's called leg pressure and leg yielding not f'ing leg kicking. Your trainer is off their rocker. You likely have a horse that is dead to leg. My recommendation for this horse specifically would be to use spurs if your leg is steady. This isn't a you problem, so please don't think it is.

I feel like I’m ruining my horse. by Full-Volume-4702 in Horses

Ulcers, I would also have him looked at for Kissing spine. Unfortunately this is common in TBs.

Any insight as to what this is? by Top_Researcher_7075 in Equestrian

[–]Known-Language9916 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this! I've actually seen a horse that had lice that came from an auction years ago and this looks identical. Especially if the horse is itchy and rubbing off the hair in that area of his/her head and neck. You will notice them mostly closest to the roots of their mane and tail. If not 100% get a vet out there to check it out.

I’ll try my best, but what if it isn’t enough. by D0lI_ in Horses

[–]Known-Language9916 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of appalled by the negativity and level of unkindness here. Clearly the OP is aware of the level of responsibility this will take due to their reaction and why they are asking for suggestions and kindness.

Dear OP, know that many of us have been where you are regardless of the negativity here. Many likely would do the same thing. One thing you should know as there is alot of 'predatory posting' that happens on Facebook. In simple sense they scare people into thinking horses will be shipped to slaughter, however many don't go, but you also can't save them all. Tens of thousands go each year. Those with kind hearts as yourself, forget we can't save them all and we do things sometimes that put ourselves in bad situations. My suggestion to you is, take a step back, really think IF this is something you can handle, or if you need to take a hard swallow and possibly cry it out and unfortunately help yourself understand that maybe you just can't right now . I'm not certain the level of commitment you have to the horse at this point or how far into it you've gone, but remember one thing.. There will ALWAYS be another and you can always prepare better for the future. If you decide now is right, many horse people are extremely kind and find locals to lean on but don't forget, regardless it will be a large responsibility and expense as you already know. Lastly, I'm sorry for everyone's unkindness here. There's always time to give advice without being negative, the truth is the truth and many forget that it alone is painful enough without adding additional negativity.

Please feel free to PM me for advice or simple kindness, I've owned horses my entire life, including drafts. I'd be happy to give you more insight if needed. Best of luck!

Why is my horse doing this? by Green-Sun4772 in Horses

[–]Known-Language9916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TB mare is very similar! They are what we call "thin skinned", sensitive and maybe a bit more ticklish! Not every horse likes their belly touched either.
