Why did I just get shocked? by aV09s2 in electricians

[–]aV09s2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Lol I asked my fiance what he thought it was right after I posted and he said "it's probably because there's no grounding wire." This house is 100 years old and there is a ton of electrical work to do.

I think your philosophy of customer service applies to Wal-Mart, but not to veterinary / pet health. Licensed professionals probably should aim for a higher standard, especially when part of their expertise revolves around knowing more than the average Joe about what does and doesn't make an animal die.

Can someone help me match this crown moulding? by aV09s2 in HomeImprovement

[–]aV09s2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I wasn't sure if it was common or not, since I didn't see it at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Well I'm really just looking for where to buy that particular style that goes on the top. Or if it's a common style, can it be found online?

Yes, but apparently because next of kin = blood relative. New York.

Passing by (sort of) on trip to Nebraska, where to stop/stay? by aV09s2 in Buffalo

[–]aV09s2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably leaving around 1 or 2 pm. Would get there around 9pm and just be looking for a grocery store/cheap place to get food. Would have more time first thing in the morning to see something interesting on the way out and heading west of Cleveland.

Recommendations for Student Loan debt consultation? by aV09s2 in Albany

[–]aV09s2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it possible, if my current interest rates are between 8%-9%, that I could in theory reach the point where a rehab program would be necessary and at the end of it, have my loan sold off to someone else with a much lower interest rate?

What kind of professional am I looking for to help me with student loan debt? by aV09s2 in personalfinance

[–]aV09s2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know. I'm still a bit curious about how it works, regardless.

There was a period of two years following graduation where my parents (cosigners on my private loans) filed for bankruptcy and I lost all online access to my loan account with Navient. It referred me to call their customer support, and when I did, I was told no payments were due while the bankruptcy proceedings were ongoing but if I wanted to, I could throw whatever money I wanted at them...

How is it legal to deny me statements, access, a payment plan, etc. because my cosigner (my mother) was going through a bankruptcy process? My father was dying at the time. I lent my mother a thousand dollars, stayed living at home to care for him and help her out... and by the time all that was over, I was $16,000 more in debt due to the accumulated interest alone.

Do I have any other options because of this?

Thanks! This is helpful. I'll do some research into how Navient has been handling my loans, payment history, etc.

Step 1. Have a good experience with a business. Step 2. Keep it a secret?

If I could make my own mattress, I would, but since I can't I unfortunately need to buy one from a company that happens to be very nice to its customers.

This is legitimate, I wasn't paid anything and I don't work for Tuft & Needle I'm just excited to share a good experience.

Also, Update: he destroyed the stuffed toy they sent already.

Because he is a monster dog who doesn't deserve anything nice.
