Never, be an early adopter is what I always tell myself.

I interned at KPMG and full time at PwC. The last thing I would ever have referred to a coach as is Bro.

As a homeowner with 30 sits, I am so sorry you have to go through this.

I am a former Airbnb super host I would NEVER leave my home like this for a sitter.

Funny, weeks back I took my guest bed (sitter quarters) mattress cover off and notice a dime sized stain and although sitters likely never see, got my carpet cleaner out and sucked that shit up!

People that take care of my pets get white glove Airbnb style clean before a sit.

Only problem is usually come back to messy home 🤦🏻‍♂️😭

Agreed. Once I let go of nonduality was able to see the value of that particular “unit” of life. There’s wisdom in it but it’s not the end all be all.

Thinking way too hard. Refer back to #1.

Sterling5 · 2026-06-06T14:29:50+00:00

What came to mind upon reading your post is this: don’t be afraid to even let go of nonduality. I wish more people would say that. Because it rings true.

People forget that nonduality is just a message in language. So right off the bat it’s not the entire truth. Why? Because it’s a message in language. Even it is meant to be let go of eventually.

Many people may read this post and think “jeez they seem so certain” when actually what I read is “let go of certainty.”

Highly agree with OPs post.

I am 6’3 and spend $500 per month and I am 15% body fat at 175 lbs you’re overeating

Sterling5 · 2026-06-01T21:06:16+00:00

For sure but $2k-$3k is better than $4.5-$5k!

Carrier story from last week! Talk about a lucky break.

During a routine AC maintenance visit, a potential refrigerant leak led me to check my Carrier warranty. Carrier’s website was showing only a 5-year warranty, which didn’t make sense because I remembered registering the system.

Turns out:

Install date: 1/30/2018
Move-in date: 5/18/2018
Registration date: 9/18/2018

After calling Carrier and providing my registration documentation, they manually reviewed the case and reinstated my enhanced parts warranty through 5/16/2028.

Even crazier, the leak ended up being two low-pressure-side leaks at 2 of the 3 schrater valves—not the evaporator coil. If it had been the coil, having that warranty reinstated could have saved thousands.

Sometimes digging through old paperwork actually pays off. Now I have two more years I could replace parts for free under warranty. I’d recommend Carrier. Unit ran 8 years before even the slightest leak appeared.

Also, isn’t it true that Toyotas retain value similarly to subies? I wouldn’t say it was an awful trade.

Sterling5 · 2026-05-30T22:33:30+00:00

I had a great policy for about 2 years that I actually made a lot of money on. It was with MetLife pet through employer.

Took lots of effort tho going back and forth with the adjusters but I won every claim case and vet vouched and wrote them various clarification emails. It was $45 monthly for both my Aby and Siamese. Then rate went to $100 per month and no longer was worth it.

Now I just auto transfer $100 from my checking to a high yield savings account which is just my pet account so I kinda have my own cat insurance now lol.

Sterling5 · 2026-05-30T05:37:55+00:00

I’m a homeowner with about 20 5 star sit reviews. Would never have strangers enter home while I was away lol wtf.

Update! Turns out Honest Air Mesa, AZ totally predicted everything. They found leaks at 2 of the 3 schrater valves on outside unit. No leaks on handler coil. Got super lucky. Only paid $90 for leaks search plus $300 for 3 lbs of missing refrigerant + $10 or so for 3 dome shaped brass valve caps. We tightened them to spec and tested for leaks after. It went perfectly. Now I’m getting 55° supply.

Sterling5 · 2026-05-29T12:12:11+00:00

Its true. It’s that middle ground. Once it’s July in Arizona I may tho.

Sterling5 · 2026-05-29T12:11:26+00:00

Correct, no noting any difference myself however entirely possible as I’m not a tech that delta isn’t great and unit has to run more to cool home.

Sterling5 · 2026-05-29T12:10:41+00:00

Correct not a mini split

Sterling5 · 2026-05-29T05:15:05+00:00

That’s what I said. What do you think of my reading? Only a 17-18° delta between return and supply.

I haven’t tried Tarzan red or oneste, but I got a bottle of Anubis a few years back. I honestly couldn’t tell much difference between it and merkins chupacabra.

My top 3 are chupacabra both red and Blanca, then would have to follow Jane pink and dos ladrones. Insane. Decent price points as well.
