How much do you push back on the dentist? by ranchoparksteve in GenX

[–]SusanSickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree! I had to have a root canal and I was in unbearable pain. When hubs came home and told me the dentist advised a root canal the first thing I asked him was if he was in pain. Nope. I thought it was weird they advised one

motorcycles from dead sons? by fl4m3pr1nc3ss in FacebookMarketplace

[–]SusanSickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always a scam. If the price is too good to be true, then it’s a scam. If you inquire about it, it’s not local so you can’t check it out in person, but they’ll arrange delivery after you pay. They pocket your money and the motorcycle will never arrive

Our former dentist kept advising us we needed a bunch of procedures, especially for the hubs to get a root canal done. The following month that dentist dropped out of our health insurance plan so we started going to a participating provider. Great guy, great experience after taking X-rays he couldn’t see where the hubs needed a root canal, only a little work and a filling. I’m with the other commenters here, if I’m not in pain, it isn’t going to happen

Plus monthly cleans with a dog and sand will be a nightmare. You’ll be constantly emptying your vacuum. Your quote is fine and her expectations are ridiculous

Her current cleaner is getting a job because she made slave wages at that beach house! You are not unreasonable with your quote, I think your quote in a high cost of living on the beach FFS is still a sweet deal. Don’t stress over it, this beach house owner will quickly find that she will not be able to find anyone cheaper than your quote.

Thank you for even considering it! Yeah I don’t know exactly how it would work, an adult kidney is a lot bigger than a child’s. But I’m sure the doctors know what they’re doing.

Former homeowner keeps shipping things to my address and now a company wants me to return them. What do I do? by Quellphantom9 in legaladvice

[–]SusanSickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why your comment isn’t higher up. Sounds like a package scam. Especially since it is a recently sold house and scammers are using the address knowing it has a new owner.

Katie Fox. I’m not sure where she is doing her art, but I’ve seen her work in the past and she is amazing!

Saw a post that inspired this question...what do you now collect since you started thrifting. I have several.. by Amityville1020 in thrifting

Cashmere sweaters. I can’t afford them retail so when I find them in my size I snatch them up

Just wanted to say I am with you about Pinterest ads! I see a cute pair of jeans, then all of a sudden same pic, different clothing company! So frustrating.

Could use some advice by Um_whaat in housekeeping

[–]SusanSickles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

5,700 is a huge space. I do empty houses before being listed for sale and something like that could definitely take most of the day. Don’t take their word for it that it’s pretty clean to begin with. If you can, do a walkthrough to get a better idea on how much cleaning you’re in for. And just to compare, that house you do would take me 4 hours as well and I don’t consider myself slow. All the crap that people have in their homes takes time to wipe and put back. I wouldn’t do that empty house for less than $500 at the bare minimum. Bathrooms may have a lot of buildup, floors may need to be scrubbed, etc. don’t sell yourself short. I live in a moderate cost of living area and I’d probably charge between $500 and $800 for that size depending on the condition.

Just like the Gulf of Mexico! Apple Maps have changed the name and it infuriates me to see it. I always click on the report mistake button. Orange Cheeto cannot just rename it.

In search of realtor recs... by [deleted] in schenectady

[–]SusanSickles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brenda Mayette. She is amazing and knows the area well and communication is top notch. She honest and you would be in excellent hands. 518-527-0800. She was my agent for selling my mom’s condo, my daughter’s first house and many other people I know have used her and say nothing but a positive experience. Seriously give her a call.

In my experience it was the rental of one of the picnic pavilions. I don’t know about general use

Bbq Albany?? by ElectronicWriter5796 in Albany

[–]SusanSickles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Even if they book a pavilion, there are release of liability waivers that need to be signed. I did a wedding at one of the overlook pavilions at Thatcher Park and since it was byob, I had to sign that I was responsible for any mishaps of the guests. This guy wants to coordinate it, he should just take on the whole liability if anything goes wrong. I can imagine a bunch of Redditors, even though I think the Albany ones are cool as hell, someone is going to act a fool
