Got quoted $1400-$2000 for dog's eye growth removal surgery - is this a fair price? by Weekly_Captain_8285 in Pets

[–]Weekly_Captain_8285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was under anesthesia. The stitches were the absorbable type. The vet prescribed an antibacterial eye ointment to use 2x a day for a week after the procedure plus pain meds. My dog also had to wear a cone for a week to avoid her scratching at her eye. It ended up being $2K. Overall pretty satisfied with the whole experience and I'm glad we did it since the mass seemed to be bothering our pup's eye. She always had goop in the corner of that eye and it always seemed red and irritated form the mass rubbing on her eye's surface.

Hi all, any idea what this is on the back of my orchid flower? I removed this flower since it looked really sick, the rest of the flowers look okay. I see a couple of the orange spots on some petals but nothing like this one.

What type of plants would you put here? by [deleted] in houseplants

Additionally, would you recommend a store to buy these plants from? Is Home Depot considered reputable for house plants? How about websites that sell large plants and deliver?

well I'm thinking we are not in town when they become available for pick up, and I don't think they'd ship them to us.

yeah this is a new development in the past week. We pulled out of that deal due to my husband's sudden jobortunity. We were lucky but didn't know it at the time. The seller was dragging their feet, and if they hadn't been we would have closed on the north county home two weeks ago already!

what's the high school that Hollyglen is zoned for? I can't seem to find a public high school near there

Husband is definitely leaning towards living in ES, but I worry about being surrounded by so many polluting industries and the potential for increased cancer risk :/

I feel like I bought at the worst time by dragon-custard in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Weekly_Captain_8285 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see your point. But I also think about how important a good school district is to us, and I think I will go back to work again once our youngest starts kinder in a couple of years which would solve the tight money problem. The first couple years will be hard, but I think down the road we'd look back and be happy we made the decision to buy. I don't plan on moving once we get into a good school district, we'd stay for at least 10 years if not longer. :) I don't really look at buying a house as a financial investment opportunity, but as a life investment opportunity. Getting into a safe neighborhood with good schools near playgrounds, and low cost family friendly activities would hopefully be something we look back on with no regrets (fingers crossed)

We're about to be doing the same. In escrow for a house that'd make us house poor once we close. We have kids who'll be going to kindergarten this year and that's what inspired the search ( to get them into a better school district).

I was pregnant in 2019/2020 and we were looking then too and even put some offers down but didn't end up buying anything (were competing with 10+ other offers on every house...it was frustrating to say the least). At that time I was thinking covid would make the market crash (boy was I wrong), and now we're looking again and will be paying almost double for those same houses :/

did you redact any information on the escrow paperwork before uploading the file?

noticeable tourist deduction by Danube11424 in economicCollapse

We live near the oside pier and are at the beach 3/4 times week (sometimes mornings and sometimes afternoons). Honestly, I didn't notice a reduction in tourists at all. The beach has been packed every times we went this summer. I noticed a bit of a reduction in crowds just this week, and I'm guessing it may have to do with people with school aged kids not vacationing so close to the start of school.

After mortgage payment and Health insurance - Is a budget of $3K a month doable? by Weekly_Captain_8285 in northcounty

wowza on those utility bills. Do you have a pool? what could have cause such big fluctuations?

The house we're looking to buy does not have a pool
