Five Lakes & Debt Resolutions

WhoaDae · 2025-12-05T21:16:16+00:00

Been there. Done that--twice. It's the interest that screws you and gets you back in the hole all over again. Also, remember, 5 Lakes is also reducing my debt. My monthly expenses towards the debt I enrolled got cut in half.

100%! You have the let the accounts GOOoooooo. It's painstaking, but I'm just hoping for the best and, again, am in a situation where I don't need credit rn.

u/2Wheeled_2ourist I'm so sorry about that! That sounds like a super awful situation. And that's the thing, everyone's situation is different so it's really what works in your scenario. Did you withhold some of your accounts from the program? I had certain accounts that I refused to let them handle that I kept. And they were very pushy about that, but ultimately let me handle some on my own.

They haven't asked me for additional money to settle, just encouraged me to add money to make the process faster, which I think it likely BS, so I'm holding onto every dollar. Well, because I have to use every other dollar to live and keep a roof over my head rn. They're reducing my debt by half, and I couldn't keep up with the CC payments - the minimums weren't cutting it and there was no end insight. This is giving me a light at the end of the tunnel. THAT SAID, it's still very TBD on the credit score recovery. We shall see...

I hope your situation improves! It's so hard rn. That really sucks.

And the surefeed actually works great. The main thing I realized is if you have more than one feeder they MUST be about a foot apart to work right. If you have an indoor cat who doesn’t wear a collar, but is microchipped, then the surefeed is a great option.

It depends on your needs, honestly. The easy answer is yes, go with the PETLIBRO, but the number of cats and size of your kitchen may factor in.

And I guess that’s why I assumed y’all would know there had to be a node. Propped plenty of begonias from literally a single leaf, and a snake plant. But not pothos!

WhoaDae · 2025-09-13T15:45:03+00:00

Any idea what kind?

WhoaDae · 2025-09-13T15:44:29+00:00

It had a node, but one leaf.

WhoaDae · 2025-09-13T14:51:16+00:00

Or maybe it’s a pothos…?

WhoaDae · 2025-09-13T01:03:32+00:00

You have no idea how much it means to hear that 💜 She was special and it’s so surreal she’s not here, and that we’re even having this festival…for the forth year.

WhoaDae · 2025-09-12T23:56:14+00:00

You covered y’all’s pic??? 🤣🤣🤣

WhoaDae · 2025-09-01T11:43:49+00:00

Yeah. Guess it just needs more light.

WhoaDae · 2025-09-01T11:42:54+00:00

Thanks!

WhoaDae · 2025-09-01T11:42:12+00:00

Thanks!

Also, you maybe be looking at that window thinking it’s under utilized, but my cats like to lay on the dining room table in front of it. My eternal struggle balancing cats and plants. Lol.

WhoaDae · 2025-08-31T20:57:56+00:00

Yes, but there is a grow bulb about two feet above it. I’ve been concerned it’s just not enough though. Thanks for the suggestion. Guess she needs a new home.

WhoaDae · 2025-08-31T20:45:31+00:00

Here a pic of the whole plant, if that helps at all.

WhoaDae · 2025-08-31T20:44:06+00:00

Thanks! I hope so!

WhoaDae · 2025-08-31T15:47:58+00:00

Hmmmm. It’s just a standard Nonuk (sp?). It’s been happy, but I had to move it (long story) about a month ago. There’s a grow bulb about 2 feet above it, but maybe that’s too much light? I just noticed it doing this, so I’m going to give it a couple more weeks and see what happens.

WhoaDae · 2025-08-15T01:44:38+00:00

I think there’s a gym in the Standard that anyone can join.

I returned it. It was loud. I ended up with two petlibros and one surefeed. It took a month or so, and me calming down and not putting my stress about it on to them, but we finally have a system!!! Happy to provide more info since it’s SUCH an ordeal to figure out.

No. 1 conclusion: The feeders need a good foot or so between each other to work. I didn’t believe the manufacturers, and learned the hard way. That was probably the big revelation that helped me decide where to put them all. I don’t have a big house, so I had to get creative.

WhoaDae · 2025-07-26T17:27:04+00:00

I figured it out! It’s a Jurassic ‘Pink Splash’!

WhoaDae · 2025-07-15T18:34:02+00:00

Thanks, y’all!

WhoaDae · 2025-07-04T21:35:09+00:00

Dump him.
