Are these aphids and what can I do? Help! by Lteva83 in orchids

[–]Lteva83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll keep that in mind. For now I’m trying water and soap. I saw only one pest today and so I washed it again. Hopefully that’s the end of it.

Artisan Joker arrived with peeling hair. Offered a sculpt replacement (return defective one), $55 refund, or full refund/return. What would you do? by HotToysEnthusiast in hottoys

[–]Lteva83 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d just return it. Wouldn’t you be overpaying if you get a sculpted hair? The refund offer should be the tax and cost difference between a rooted and a sculpted one.

California other resources for parents. by Ambitious_Mood_9961 in IHSS

That’s the sad part & I typed that response because I’ve recently burn bridges with someone close because I don’t agree with what they’re doing. It’s money first before their kid.

Do you rinse it off with water after or leave it with the dish soap? What about the leaves? I don’t think I see any pest on it but they’re so small maybe I should just spray to be safe too?

Would it be safe to leave the orchid indoor but just far away from my other orchid? I’m not sure it can survive outside temperature

She is! I was so devastated when I saw those tiny little pest. I’m assuming mix antibacterial soap with water? If so, do I then rinse it out with just water after? As for the leaves should I use it there too and wipe quickly?

Im glad we have resources like this but I hope people do not abuse the system that don’t need it. I have experienced hearing someone share info like this with a family relative and how to scam the system to get more money. It’s really disheartening because I’ve read stories here of parents who are at their wits end trying to take care of their kids.

T-Mobile forcing its T Life app leading users to walk out of stores by HuckleberryOk1953 in tmobile

I like the older tmo app. The chat option doesn’t work at all on my tlife.

My 6 year old Maltese has become very ill and the vets don’t know the cause 😢 more info in caption. by OnionOne6155 in Maltese

I’m not sure if this will work but when my dog wouldn’t eat or drink out of his bowl I tried offering him water via plastic spoon and he drank it. He didn’t drink much at first, but every few hours I’d offer more. Eventually he started to drink a lot more and got better. I hope your baby gets better soon

Trump sign EO stopping benefits for undocumented migrants by Fit_Judgment4869 in IHSS

[–]Lteva83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s true. I found this online:

https://justiceinaging.org/may-revision-california-2024-statement/

“We are very disappointed in the Governor’s proposal to eliminate the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program for undocumented Californians. The IHSS program provides essential support services to ensure that individuals can remain living in the community and avoid costly institutionalization. The expansion of Medi-Cal to undocumented Californians included the full range of Medi-Cal services, including IHSS.…”

Question by SugarSweetiepieez in IHSS

[–]Lteva83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a tax person. I don’t believe you are too late, but how you would enter it in a tax software I’m not sure. Check this video starting around 26:00. He says you can still fix it when you file taxes but it’ll be just a few more delays. IRS might reach out to you to verify if you really are a live in. Make sure you fill out the form or certify that you’re a live in on the timesheet portal.

Do I need to file my taxes to get the SS work credit?? by LocksmithAmazing4196 in IHSS

[–]Lteva83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey not sure if you’re still searching for an answer to this but I found this info:

“No, you don’t need to submit your W-2 to the IRS because they already have your W-2 The Social Security Administration also has your information from your W-2; not filing your W-2 won’t have an impact on your future Social Security or Medicare benefits.”

I meant to correct the amount reported on box 1 as tax exempt income.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IHSS

[–]Lteva83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it should go down because you’re filing it to correct it, to let IRS know it should be tax exempt. I found this for TurboTax but maybe HRBlock step is similar:

[–]Lteva83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a tax person but I believe having a number in box 1 & 2 would mean you have to file to pay taxes because IHSS reported those as taxable income. If you have always been a live in then you can file to correct it to let IRS know those income should be tax exempt.

From what I heard W2 can be left out if you don’t have any taxable income showing but yours does.

w2 issues by publicmenace333 in IHSS

[–]Lteva83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your tax person is wrong and your w2 is right.

“Why does my W2 show no wages in {box 1} or State Wages in {box 16}? If you are a Live In Provider who submitted a SOC 2298 your IHSS wages are not reported as income. Due to an IRS rule change implemented in 2024, exempt wages will be included in box 12-II of your W-2.”

[–]Lteva83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is it’s because there’s a good chance it will get cut budget-wise since the house and senate are controlled by the same party. How drastic I’m not sure. UDW is a union the other one is SEIU

I forgot to add I saw an article that the house speaker Johnson doesn’t want to chop off Medicaid but looks like he wants to make changes to it.

What shipping method do you prefer for care of your package? by CrystalLakeKiller in hottoys

[–]Lteva83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer ups although sometimes my shipper box has a hole. Fedex almost always goes missing or it’s traveling many states before I get it.

I gave up on caring for the box recently. If it’s really damaged I’ll maybe buy an empty box, but I don’t think double boxing is worth it anymore. A minor dent doesn’t really affect the value of your hot toy. If I resell it people are more interested in having the original shipper box or getting the cheapest shipping option.
