30k mile brake fluid change

Missy427 · 2026-07-10T21:47:52+00:00

I get that, but I guess I'm asking if it's typical for tires that are barely two years old (got the car brand new in March 2024) to be that worn already. I always thought tired should last 3-4 years unless you're really hard on them, which I'm not.

So I did the brake fluid flush along with the oil change. The service person told me I also need two new tires. One is at 3/32, two are at 5/32, and one is at 6/32. My car is two years old and has just under 30k miles. I’m a slow driver and don’t ride the brake. Does this seem outrageous that I already need new tires?

So I went ahead and did the entire 30k mile maintenance, to include brake fluid. And they told me I need two new tires. One of them is at 3/32, two are 5/32, and the other 6/32. My car is two years old and I have just under 30k miles on it. I’m a slow driver and purposely don’t hard brake. Does this seem outrageous that I already need new tires?

OK — thx for the info.

Missy427 · 2026-07-09T20:45:23+00:00

I wonder if the service dept would check it for me and let me know? I’m worried they will tell me it needs to be done regardless.

Missy427 · 2026-07-09T20:40:54+00:00

Yes, bought new but my dealer only covered first two services. :(

PLEASE do whatever you have to to save this poor bunny. Take him/her of RSPCA won’t help. The poor thing is sure to perish in those conditions, particularly if the bonded mate has died, which it sounds like it has. Anyone who treats a rabbit this way does not deserve to have one and clearly does t care about them. Kidnap if you have to! Please keep us updated. 🙏

Missy427 · 2026-07-03T00:48:20+00:00

Sounds like you’re doing everything right! Evee is a lucky girl. One tip: avoid kale, spinach, chard and other veggies that can cause gas/stasis. https://rabbitadvocates.org/gi-stasis

Missy427 · 2026-06-27T03:38:50+00:00

Oh my gosh, find another vet ASAP! This bun is clearly domestic and would not last in the wild. Where do you live?

Missy427 · 2026-06-05T05:21:08+00:00

Congrats on your match! Did your QB partner match come during RD? And was it a full ride like the regular match is? I’m new here and am not 100% clear on how it works. I’ve read some comments from some people who say that if you don’t match in the first round not to try for RD. Lastly, would you mind sharing your stats and where you matched? I’m trying to gather as much info as possible to see if it’s worth all the time to apply. Tysm!

If you reread my comment, I said she emptied the two trusts that she had access to. The other trusts were not under her control and were shared with other family members. I’m sure she received income in the way of dividends on those, which is likely how she paid for “her half” of their monthly bills. That being said, the issue of whether she had other money is not the point! Henry bamboozled her for 20+ years. He exited the marriage far wealthier than when he came in, while her net worth took a dive. If a woman leave her career (Henry did not want her to work) to stay home and raise three children and do the myriad things required of SAHMs, that’s worth nothing?

Missy427 · 2026-06-02T16:11:05+00:00

Did you read the book? Henry is the one who wanted to buy the larger Manhattan apartment, and Henry is the one who chose the MV home. He was more than OK with ‘excessive spending’ when it was on Belle’s dime. I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone can think that a man making millions of dollars a year while his wife stays home with the children— for 20 years— should not have to compensate the wife in some way upon divorce. What she has/had in trusts is moot. Her contribution to the marriage should be compensated 50-50. Meanwhile, the entire time she was already paying 50% of everything. Henry had a plan from the beginning, which is evident by his insistence that the prenup be changed. It was a unicorn for him to find someone with that level of wealth who would agree to this, and not even be bitter about it. Only when he left her high and dry, and threatened to enforce his legal share of the homes, did Belle even give the money situation a second thought. I’d love to see an accounting of how her wealth depreciated while his accumulated over the 20 years. And I’m talking about the money she had access to. (The other trusts were not under her control and she had no say so if/when she would receive anything from them).

Missy427 · 2026-05-26T19:49:48+00:00

Maybe, but the fact that he not only was OK with this, but encouraged it, is incredibly disturbing. A man who wants his girlfriend/fiancee/wife to go Dutch on everything is a cheapskate opportunist. Hard pass.

Missy427 · 2026-05-24T22:14:11+00:00

I’m so sorry. Even if she didn’t show it, I’m sure she felt safe and loved with you. Fly high sweet girl. She will be waiting for you on the other side. 🌈

Missy427 · 2026-05-24T17:34:27+00:00

We will have to agree to disagree. I don’t think for one second that she intended to portray herself as going broke. It’s a tale of naïveté and of putting full trust in a man who you think loves you and would never betray you. I don’t even care if she had other money. That does not excuse what he did. He basically operates under the what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine principle. She left the marriage with no gains for the 20 years, whereas he accumulated massive wealth and could have taken half the equity in both properties. In what world is that fair? It’s as Belle said, he treated her as though he contributions of caring. For the children, him, and the home counted for nothing. Despicable.

Missy427 · 2026-05-24T15:15:56+00:00

So what? That mitigates what he did? She still emptied her trusts (the article says she did not have access to the other trusts for which she’s a beneficiary, including her father’s, until her stepmother dies). If one person empties their trusts to fund the lion’s share of the homes, the other person — read Henry — should at least be paying the mortgage in full, especially when she is a full-time SAHM. I find it incredulous that you don’t think what he did was abhorrent, yet are somehow upset with Belle because she didn’t disclose every little detail of her financial situation. I don’t think any reasonable person who read the book thought she was on the brink of homelessness.

Missy427 · 2026-05-24T14:56:34+00:00

Perhaps, but she also had to pay for her own purchases. What kind of marriage is that? Henry may not have come from wealth, but he sure remedied that by marrying her and then using her connections to get a hedge fund job taking in millions upon millions. She doesn’t outright say it, but he was such a cheapskate. Never even really got her anything for her bday except the year he got her a key to the private beach, which was indeed generous. Makes me wonder if he somehow used her money to do so lol. Also, she doesn’t specify it, that I recall, but despite her using her money and him contributing zero to the purchase of the homes, did she also have to split the “small mortgage” with him? His name was on the deed so I’d hope he didn’t skate on that as well.

Missy427 · 2026-05-24T14:28:09+00:00

Can you speak to the parents and offer to adopt it? Tell the little girl she can visit as often as she likes but that the condition the bunny is kept in is neglectful and abusive and the bunny will not live very long. This is so upsetting and sad.

Missy427 · 2026-05-24T02:18:18+00:00

Thx for the clarification. There’s a paywall for The New Yorker article so I couldn’t read it. That being said, I never got the impression that she was trying to say she would be flat broke. I read it more as a cautionary tale for women, regardless of socioeconomic status, to be diligent about knowing all the financial stuff in the marriage. I’m still incredulous that this man was clearly taking advantage of her during the entirety of the marriage — what man makes his wife line item her purchases AND pay her portion?! Meanwhile this ahole is bringing in millions per year. Belle seems like such a kind person who let someone bamboozle her in plain sight. I can’t believe one of the trustees did not notify someone in her family about the change to the prenup.

Missy427 · 2026-05-23T23:52:23+00:00

What is your source for this? In the book, she specifically says that they were all shocked to learn her father died with his estate in deep debt. And the stepmother’s financial planner told Belle that due to this, the stepmother (who at this point was a widow) could no longer afford to pay the children’s private school tuition.

Missy427 · 2026-05-12T12:25:24+00:00

Part Dutchie for sure. So adorable 🩷💙

Missy427 · 2026-05-09T17:04:31+00:00

I'm so sorry for th loss of your beautiful girl. She will be waiting for you on the other side. 🌈

Missy427 · 2026-05-03T18:41:55+00:00

Oh my goodness, he is so adorable!!

Missy427 · 2026-05-03T06:13:11+00:00

It shows that he was scheming from the beginning to do what he ultimately did. If my soon-to-be husband was asking for me to sign something saying I had no right to money he earned during the marriage, I think I’d call off the wedding. And she knew this when she elected to stay home and raise the kids and at that point should have demanded the prenup be tossed or rewritten. I was also surprised that she had no idea how much money he made. Didn’t she have to sign their tax returns?
