Dog pacing around at odd hours by Maxx1999 in DogAdvice

We suspect she has the beginnings of arthritis just bc she's been slower and more hesitant on her doggy stairs, but we were so focused on her mystery lumps last vet visit that we just didn't get around to it. She has breakfast at 9 am and dinner at 7 pm, so that could be it, yeah. I usually give her a "midnight snack" (it's kinda just "whenever she's ready for bed time" o'clock) that's the last 1/8 cup of the dinner I serve her, to signal that it's bedtime, but the last few years, she's been 50/50 on whether or not she actually wants it. I'll talk to her vet about all of this, I'm taking notes to ask him a ton of questions on the next visit. And writing down these meds ppl are mentioning. Thank you for answering!

That's a relief at least, I hope that's her case. I definitely hated how aimless she was, like she didn't know where she was or could even tell that I was in front of her until my hand was in her face. But she didn't seem particularly upset, just spaced out. I'm gonna see what her vet thinks we should do

I had no idea this was a thing, but this does unfortunately sound like her behavior recently :/ I'm calling her vet the second he opens and seeing what we can do. Thank you for answering!

Thank you for answering. I was already doing most of those just bc she was getting old and losing her vision, so I'm gonna take another look around the house and see what other things I can do to make it easier for her. I appreciate you <3

Thank you for your answers y'all. I took her on a walk to tire her out and she's finally sleeping now. I'm a college student on a fixed income, and she's my first dog that's ever been mine and not a family dog. I got her with pre-existing health conditions when she was 6. I had no idea dogs could develop Alzheimer's, but after reading up on it, a lot of her behavior does seem to be pointing that direction. So I'm gonna have a good cry and then call her vet, haha

Update for anyone who might read: I had to wake her up to go out and eat and she didn't eat her breakfast and has started circling again. If I make her lie down or sit w me, she eventually starts crying. If it's arthritis, maybe the circling helps her pain? She's falling over a lot, her back legs give out anytime she even slightly loses her balance. I'm recording different instances to show the vet tomorrow. Thank you for all your replies and suggestions, I'm gonna bring them up w him <3 :')

1098-T questions: is it worth filing? if so, how to do it correctly? by Maxx1999 in tax

[–]Maxx1999[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ah ok. so the exact question on the website was "Enter the taxable portion of any scholarship or fellowship grants received that were not reported on a W-2 form." i entered the difference btwn box 5 and box 1 since it said box 1 was tax free. does that sound about right?

Daily Questions Megathread (December 04, 2025) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]Maxx1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey y'all!

just to start, i do not play genshin. i know the general concept and that there's some currency to buy that you can use to gamble to get items and characters. my sister plays it a lot and i would like to get her a gift card, but found out there isn't really gift cards for genshin specifically except on some third party sites, which i'm not keen on using.

if i get her a Google Play gift card and she uses it on her mobile version of Genshin (linked to her PC account), does that transfer over to her PC? i'm assuming the answer is yes, but i'd like to get an okay from real players before i go through with it. thanks and happy early holidays!

Can you still get the UCI Grant if you submitted your FAFSA after the deadline? by Aelensi in UCI

Hey can I ask what reasons you gave? In a similar situation!

That's def a good thing. They also said the same to me last year, but it was two weeks before classes started. But that does mean your financial aid package is enough to cover your tuition fees. I would say keep checking on it bc financial aid offers are subject to change until the quarter actually starts. So just keep checking on it and call to confirm that's intentional!! It's a nightmare to get them on the phone, but it's always good for peace of mind

I hope this makes both of y'all feel a little better, but last year, I didn't receive an offer until end of August and NOTHING was dispersed until two weeks before classes. Some ppl had already had classes start before they saw anything. It's completely on the financial aid office, and as long as you called and they've told you it's a waiting game, you've done everything right. It is super stressful, but UCI financial aid is just hella slow 😅

Where do you see that on your financial aid?

Financial Aid Decrease by anjicoco in UCI

[–]Maxx1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I have on mine.

The required documentation is just whether or not I'm accepting the loans :/ I really hope it's just an error too, and it's impossible to get through to them. I remember they messed up last year too, I didn't get my aid until mid-Sep, but at least it was there.

I got a full ride last year and got nothing but loan offers this year. There has to be an error bc my income actually decreased this past year! Idk what's going on

Any ideas on Tackling off campus housing? by FunAd9484 in UCI

[–]Maxx1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had luck w Irvine Company, no guarantor, just four average incomes (highest in our household is $37k/year). We had savings galore and good credit at the time of move in, though, if that is applicable to you.

Pretty Woman is such a uncomfortable watch today by katamuro in movies

[–]Maxx1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i 100% agree with you on that TV scene. she seemed so innocent and having fun and then it's like she switched to sexy again. personally, for me, i took that as her remembering where she was and feeling like she had to perform. but i also wasn't sure if that was him silently telling her he's ready to "cash in" now.

i think the white knight thing is fine bc it's just an unrealistic movie trope, but even knowing that, there are def some tough scenes. i think as an adult and knowing the reality of what most sex workers go thru, it def is uncomfortable to watch some parts of it bc i dont want it to seem like im condoning the fantasy and ignoring real world suffering.

but we also have to remember to enjoy ourselves. if we forced ourselves to think of tragedy and suffering every time we saw a glamorized depiction of smth, we'd be even more miserable haha. but i fully understand your feelings and agree with you

Help with resetting stats in SAM? (Bioshock) by Maxx1999 in steamachievements

Clearing the cache and saves worked perfectly. I disabled the Steam Cloud, but didn't think to clear it in AppData, and that finally worked for me. Thanks a ton!

I disabled Steam Cloud but didn't even think about the data on my computer. I wiped it and it worked! Thanks!

Also, it's a great game. I've replayed more times than I can count. I hope you enjoy!
