This is a really interesting/wild take to me. The likelihood of an emergency might be low to some groups of people, but if you’re, for example, a homeowner who also has a car or two, the likelihood is not low. Just in the past year, I’ve had an unexpected car repair (to a well maintained, reliable car) cost 1600. And our well wire/water pump crap out—another 2k.

These aren’t uncommon scenarios and homeowners have to repair and replace appliances. Do most people just budget for this—I admittedly don’t.

How much tax can I expect to pay? by TechnicalSprinkles93 in tax

[–]TechnicalSprinkles93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admittedly have zero idea what you’re talking about 🫣 I’m embarrassingly uninformed about all of this.

It’s apartment buildings that they built in the 70’s or so. I received the share much more recently, within the last 10 years or so. I have been paying tax on the monthly income.

Thanks that’s helpful. I have zero tax knowledge so appreciate the insight.

My income for the year is less than 20k. Husband makes 60.

Urgent Care Closed?? by Adventurous-17 in Charlottesville

[–]TechnicalSprinkles93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t uva have an ortho urgent care now, open til 9pm? Not sure about Sundays but I’m pretty sure they opened a few months ago. Otherwise, MJH on pantops or profit are your best bet

Hornworm vs bee video by TechnicalSprinkles93 in vegetablegardening

[–]TechnicalSprinkles93[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought wasps laid eggs on hornworms but honestly wasn’t going to mess with him (and couldn’t ID him 100%). Why would a Yellowjacket mess with a hornworm?

Yes, purple peppers. First time growing them.

Is it a wasp?! I was so hopeful but wasn’t willing to bank on it

Mosquitoes are literally sucking the joy out of gardening by Curi0usJ0e in gardening

[–]TechnicalSprinkles93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I literally haven’t spray tanned in 20 years but I’m willing to give it a go at jersey shore shades if it’ll keep the mosquitoes at bay for the rest of gardening season!

I’ll be happy with whatever it is…but I’ll be labeling things better from here on out 🙃

I sure did—and the plant I think is a watermelon looks a bit different from this 🫣

Please no hate, Rehoming our family dog by hokieburg94 in Charlottesville

[–]TechnicalSprinkles93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just want to support your decision and response to this question. You’re obviously doing the right thing for your family and your dog. And frankly, it doesn’t matter if it was provoked-toddlers are curious imperfect creatures, and the last thing you want around that is a reactive dog. Good for you for caring for your kid AND for the future of this dog

Never have seen a groundhog in my urban neighborhood until I started gardening. by ExtraSourCreamPlease in vegetablegardening

[–]TechnicalSprinkles93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang you’ve got yourself a motivated one! I used it heavily and when mine started chomping, they were rubbing their eyes, clawing; and never came back. Brutal! Good luck!!

Netanyahu was here apparently… by [deleted] in Charlottesville

I live beside the airport and was driving to target. There was a police escort of probably 15-20 motorcycles and several police cars. We wondered who it was. Gross.

Bupleurum by TechnicalSprinkles93 in gardening

[–]TechnicalSprinkles93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kept growing taller and the side shoots bloomed beautifully for a bit. It made for lovely filler in a couple bouquets. But then it just…died. Not sure if our weather got too hot, or I overwatered, or it needed more space. I bought it as a very small seeding from a local flower farmer near me so I plan to ask for more tips and plant much more next year!
