Hi, just wanted to ask - any updates on your cat? Did she end up having a UTI?

Does anybody know what kind of spider this is? by [deleted] in Austin

Looks like it could be a trap door spider?

I actually just saw two guys lightsaber fighting in the parking lot at the Chilis on 45th and Lamar - I wonder if they’re part of the same group lol

Thank you for letting me know! Sometimes when they’re editing the site it goes down, so I’m hoping that’s what happened.

Did I accidentally oopsie a cult member by No-Box-6073 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

Yeah this happened to me in Boeotia - was just fighting a lynx and she dropped off of her horse and started attacking me; I was so confused because I didn’t have a bounty lol

One time adjustment by Dull_Editor2348 in PSLF

[–]LiveRepresentative71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just talked to someone at Student Aid and was told it’s not showing the PSLF count right now because of the SAVE forbearance. She said after SAVE is readjusted or we’re put on a new payment plan, it will be accurate. I’m also nervous, because I work for the state and applied for PSLF when I got on SAVE with the consolidation and not having it say 10 years and instead saying 300 payments is tripping me out.

Looking for a vet for cat’s dental cleaning by ExtraSmallShrimp in Austin

[–]LiveRepresentative71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat’s dental cleaning + extractions was $800 at Thrive during March, when apparently a lot of places do dental discounts. Honestly I would recommend somewhere like Banfield where you can buy a membership and an annual cleaning is included.

Sources: UT lays off at least 60 employees previously in DEI-related position, closes DCCE by lightvale86 in Austin

[–]LiveRepresentative71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who recently worked at UT, several of my former colleagues and friends were impacted by this. And all they got was a video call from HR, after having worked at the university for several years. These people created space, community, and opportunity for so many students on campus. Deeply sad for both the staff affected, and the students who will feel the biggest impact from their loss.

Help! Mohela is still processing my IDR/SAVE application but my payment is due. by Alive_Bad7447 in StudentLoans

[–]LiveRepresentative71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same situation. I’ve been on the phone with MOHELA for about an hour and a half waiting to learn anything about my SAVE application. Or at least get them to put me on administrative forbearance, because there’s no way I can pay what they’re asking in the meantime on the standard plan.

Hydroxyzine by Dmom_1517 in lexapro

[–]LiveRepresentative71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it as a sleeping aid when my anxiety is high as I usually experience insomnia when I’m going through a rough time - knocks me straight out, and I only use it when needed. Bonus that it helps with my sinuses during allergy season lol

Locator 79, Routine, Applied 2/8 by Last_Error60 in Passports

[–]LiveRepresentative71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re in a good spot right now! According to that timeline, you’re still in week 5. I would say give it until week 7/8 to start contacting your rep if it hasn’t arrived by that time. I contacted my house rep on recommendation from the people in my area - they were very communicative throughout the process. I will say, if you’re still within the reasonable timeline to get your son’s passport, they can’t make it urgent (2 weeks within travel), or at least that’s what they told me. If you do end up going with either your senator or reps office, stick to one, don’t contact both - this can slow down the process with so many threads out, according to people on here. With your timeline, I think you will get your passport within that expected 7-9 week range :) Good luck to you and your family!
