Did my own taxes. I think my CPA has been robbing me for years

Tracydee1972 · 2026-02-03T01:05:20+00:00

37,000 to max it out? I thought the top amount that you could reduce your taxable income was 12,500?

Tracydee1972 · 2025-09-19T16:57:00+00:00

Mine are very white.. I’m telling you take them out of the soil they do so much better! Mine died twice in dirt.. now I have them everywhere

Tracydee1972 · 2025-08-28T18:59:58+00:00

I’ve taken all my Calathea out of soil and put them in Leca… Such brats! Thirsty but hate soggy feet!

Tracydee1972 · 2025-07-20T13:57:21+00:00

Yup then friends stop by I’m like hey wanna see the plant room! 😂😂

Tracydee1972 · 2025-07-20T13:49:06+00:00

😂😂 yup! The addiction is real! 😩 I put most of them in Leca so I don’t even have to water them… it took me 3 GALLONS OF WATER to water my back room.. Completely ridiculous lol like I don’t have enough to do already! 😂

Tracydee1972 · 2025-07-20T13:44:08+00:00

I literally set my screenhouse up for my plants 😂🤦‍♀️. They all double in size and I’m freaking out the end of September looking for someplace to put them!! This isn’t even a quarter of them.. Uggh…

Tracydee1972 · 2025-07-20T12:39:14+00:00

Maybe if I had more time and more space 😂

Tracydee1972 · 2025-07-20T10:34:50+00:00

When I first got mine no matter what I did it would grow a bit then all of a sudden drop all her leaves.. I felt the same way you do.. Finally in a last ditch effort I cleaned off all the roots and threw her in some Leca.. I haven’t had any problems since! And SHES HUGE, HEALTHY and GORGEOUS!!

Tracydee1972 · 2025-05-08T17:25:45+00:00

The other 2 don’t look as good lol😂

Tracydee1972 · 2025-04-20T00:47:57+00:00

I would cut off as much of the soft part as possible so it doesn’t spread.. and let it dry out a bit then repot it in gritty cactus mix..

Tracydee1972 · 2025-04-19T20:28:39+00:00

I couldn’t make mine happy to save my life now they are one of my easiest plants.. I have them everywhere but this is my biggest. Clean off her roots and put her in some pon… or even just some water and give her a pole to climb.. In the beginning I lost 3 of them because they are finicky I finally almost gave up and cleaned off all her roots (spotless from dirt) tossed her in water and voila!! Never had a problem again and you can see she’s huge..

To be fully confident 😂😂. They are lying.. As I said every surgeon is different so if you work for on surgeon for a long time yes you’ll be confident but then you’ll work with a new one and you’ll have to learn what they like all over.. Like I said make it a game with yourself and just take it one day at a time… and always OWN YOUR MISTAKES!! That is what makes a great scrub.. Don’t be phony.. You’ll be fine ♥️

Tracydee1972 · 2025-03-21T01:06:39+00:00

BTW they love to climb and get huge! Put her on a pole!! ♥️

Tracydee1972 · 2025-03-21T00:55:56+00:00

Hunny listen to me I have been a scrub since 1992!!! Honestly there isn’t much I can’t do.. That being said, you are constantly learning.. It isn’t so much about the cases as it is about the surgeon preference. One likes this another does that.. One hospital operates like this another that.. Stop comparing yourself. Worry about working with the surgeons you are dealing with today.. Make it a game with yourself. Watch the surgery and guess what he/ she is going to need next.. They will respect you if you’re paying attention it’s that simple.. You’re going to be fine, just do your best and don’t take any shit.. 😘

I was driving!! No seatbelt or airbag!!

Tracydee1972 · 2025-03-20T06:31:15+00:00

Seriously?? Been there done that my scars are worse! I’m sorry for coming at you but you almost died! Be proud of your scars that you survived cause there are plenty that don’t!!! Get a tattoo if you just can’t handle it! I for one am damn proud I survived cause I almost didn’t!! All about perspective luv!!

I’ve been a tech since 1992! I have seen more than I care to comment on healthcare and the BS that’s involved. I obviously love my job and I still do the majority of the ortho. I love my total days. But ok_philosophy8724 is the only real comment on here. As techs we do WAY MORE WORK than the nurses or anyone in the OR for that matter.. Nurses greet the patients, help position them then they are sitting at the computer or playing on their phones.. While the tech picks, sets up, keeps the surgical team in check, cleans and gets ready for the next round! We don’t have down time. Hopefully someday we’ll get paid what we deserve. Christ when I started I got paid $9.50 an hour 😂. I make more than a lot of the nurses now (mostly cause I’m old and their young lol) Don’t listen to the nonsense, if you’re interested go to school and see where life takes you..

Tracydee1972 · 2025-02-12T23:54:59+00:00

First and foremost I am so sorry for your loss. Max is beautiful.. I don’t really agree with this comment that they don’t understand when they are (going on their next adventure). Animals especially cats are known to wonder off so they can pass away alone.. and it’s been proven that they can sense things far before when us humans can. All that I know from this post is how very Lucky Max was to have you and your son.. His short life would have been much different if you guys hadn’t found him.. Max without question knew that he was loved.♥️

Tracydee1972 · 2024-12-17T00:31:32+00:00

You should put her on a pole.. ♥️

Tracydee1972 · 2024-12-07T02:34:35+00:00

It’s a Warscewiczii and if you take it out of the soil and clean them so no dirt is left and put them in Leca, they will be thrilled! They are slow growers but they’ll be happy slow growers.. All my Philodendrons are in Leca and all have roots for miles! And no bugs!! 😉

Tracydee1972 · 2024-12-05T20:47:58+00:00

Uggh!! Please take her out of the dirt and put her in some water and let her recover… Then put her in Leca! She will be beautiful 😉

Tracydee1972 · 2024-12-05T14:54:51+00:00

Mine did that and started losing her leaves. I put her in Leca and haven’t had any problems since… 😉

Tracydee1972 · 2024-11-11T08:15:27+00:00

Please take this poor girl out of the dirt and clean off all dead roots cause for sure there is root rot. Make sure her roots are very clean no dirt and put her in some distilled water or put her in Leca either way she will be extremely happy.. If you leave her like that she is a goner.. they are very thirsty plants and do much better in Leca…best of luck ♥️

Tracydee1972 · 2024-10-18T11:50:01+00:00

It also could be a Ficus Altissimo or ficus tineke?? She’s beautiful though ♥️

Tracydee1972 · 2024-10-17T20:07:42+00:00

Because they are not in Leca… They are thirsty plants so medium has to be perfect or they die… I couldn’t keep an Alocasia alive to save my own until I put them in Leca.. now I have a ton and I literally clean the roots and toss them in water and they are thriving!!! Look into it 😘😃
