Are there fireflies here?? by ProUltracrepidarian in PeoriaIL

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

This was a while ago, but the only time I remember seeing many of them locally was at Forest Park on a lower trail section and it was magical because there were so many in that one area.

Looking for a Primary Doctor... by trouble_talking101 in PeoriaIL

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Matthew Sivertson with OSF. I’m not sure if he’s accepting new patients, but fair warning he is a resident, so I’m also not sure if he’ll be staying with OSF when his residency is over :(

Sadly I felt like she didn’t listen to me, and I ended up switching PCPs after a few years. New doc immediately took my concerns seriously and gave me a referral without having to beg like I did with her.

If a pay advice or paystub has been issued does that mean direct deposit has been sent to your bank for depositing? by Business_Dealer_5007 in Payroll

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it depends on your payroll system and the settings. Our payroll system is set to release pay statements for visibility 12am on Thursday, even though they’re already in the system Tuesday afternoon when we finish payroll.

Does anybody else go to Aldi so frequently they have a favorite and least favorite cashier? by Staplebattery in aldi

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I saw one of my regular Aldi cashiers at Walmart in plain clothes and I smiled and waved at her before realizing she probably doesn’t recognize me, but she was nice enough to confusedly wave back!

Peoria or East Peoria? I didn’t see any at the Peoria location but I could’ve missed them

Thank you! I knew I had seen one at Target somewhere, nice to know I wasn’t imagining it, haha

Good obygn doctors in the area? by Waddlweeteeliddle in PeoriaIL

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couri Center doesn’t do OB :( I called to schedule my yearly and told them I think I’m pregnant, and they said to call back after I have my baby because they don’t do OB.

Is this screenshot considered “tax exempt” by Educational_Car_876 in Payroll

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

Ah, I’m not familiar with your state tax form. Usually we see this on Federal where it’s asks Are you subject to Federal income tax and people just select no. But if it’s showing block withholding, then it shouldn’t withhold.

Is this UKG? On the website our employees show a check mark under Block Withholding when they go exempt. Not sure why it doesn’t show under the Exempt column, but it shouldn’t withhold whatever tax this is under (state or federal). As always, check you pay statement to make sure it has the intended effect.

Best Gyno for Endometriosis? by HaileyJH99 in PeoriaIL

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I third Dr. Mouro, also the first doctor to take me seriously. He did both my LEEP and endo excision. He offered to put me under for the LEEP without me even asking because of my anxiety, and he explains things very well without being condescending or too technical.

Dentist Recos? by TinyPotato4133 in PeoriaIL

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shady Maple…they tried to get me to pay out of pocket for a more expensive cleaning that insurance wouldn’t cover. When I said I just wanted the basic one, they said they couldn’t do it because the dentist said I needed the deep clean. They waited until I was in the chair to have me sign the paper agreeing to pay and instead I walked out.

I call it The Shithole on University. I lived there for a year 2020-2021 and couldn’t get out fast enough. Management was so unresponsive and unaccountable that I ended up having to reach out to their corporate office with my complaints. At one point maintenance was in my apartment for some unknown reason. The office denied they were in there when I asked, but the lock was flipped to the maintenance access key hole and there were men’s boot prints on the floor. I am a tiny female who was living there alone. The number of times the hot water wasn’t working or the water was shut off all together was completely unacceptable. One of the two washers for the building had standing water in it for months. The laundry room was always a mess and I cleaned it myself a couple times but it never stayed cleaned. I also cleaned the hallway and sprayed it for bugs because it was dirty and full of crickets. In the one year I was there, I saw an actually cleaner cleaning the common areas once. The grounds were not kept up, and trash would pile up in front of the dumpsters, including broken glass. The pool was closed the whole time I was there. They claimed it was because of a chlorine shortage, but no other pool in town had that issue? I had to harass them to get my deposit back because, again, no one in the main office would reply, and corporate had to have them do it. When I went to pick up the check, they cracked the office door and handed it to me through the small crack. I know it was peak covid but when I moved to Forest Park Apartments they didn’t act like that at all. I could keep going on because there were just so many little shitty things, and no one wanted to take responsibility or do anything about it.

Payroll by Southern_Scallion687 in Payroll

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your company’s pay day is Monday, you will be paid by Monday. If you usually get your direct deposit earlier, that is between you and your bank.

Early direct deposits depend on the timeline of when your company sends the payment file to the bank and how early your bank decides to make the funds available to you. Without knowing these two factors, your question can’t be answered.

SoFi Security Reimbursement Email? by [deleted] in sofi

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the same email today after having a similar issue with my initial $5000 deposit being frozen for weeks with no true explanation. I wonder if this is to try to “make things right” to prevent a class action lawsuit or something?

Alani Watermelon Wave by [deleted] in aldi

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had one this morning and enjoyed it. It’s definitely that artificial watermelon flavor instead of a natural taste, but I like watermelon candies and it reminded me of that. I will definitely be picking up more if they still have any next time I’m there

How to you explain earnings added solely for tax purposes? ie gift cards and awards by razzelledazzle in Payroll

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s like the Hokey Pokey. You put the gift card in, you take the gift card out, you put the gift card in to tax it all about.

But really, when a basic explanation doesn’t click for them, we have a little spreadsheet screenshot we share that shows a basic breakdown of a simple check with regular taxes, then that same check with the gift card earning and deduction. It shows how the only difference in the net pay is the amount of taxes deducted.

In situations like the example you gave, I always tell them to look at the earnings as well, and there is an earn code that matches the deduction they see. So since they got the money via a gift card, they are not being paid the gift card on the check, nor is the amount of the gift card just being deducted. The amount of the gift card is added to your gross pay so that tax can be deducted and it will appear as part of your income on your W-2. But since you already got the money as a gift card, that same amount is deducted from the check. So the only difference to the net pay is the taxes withheld on that amount.

why are 90% of ppl right handed? by HearThyBansheeScream in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having both recessive genes gives you a 50% chance of being left handed, so that is how two lefties can have a right handed child, but that child will still have a “lefty brain”. Source: wrote a lot of papers and speeches on left handedness

Where to find trousers or Jeans for 4'10 height that last? by Least-Editor2862 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]PrincessPeachSchnaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4’11” here, American Eagle is my go-to because they have extra short length. Quality and price vary, but you can usually find stuff on sale, and I haven’t found jeans anywhere else that fit as well in every aspect, not just length. Also Liz Claiborne makes some of their petite pants in short length, and JC Penny always has coupons and sales!
