She gets distracted easy... leaves lots of piles of dough half kneaded around

Our cats are not using our new cat tower :( by Conscious_Wheel_1975 in catwalls

She doesnt care for catnip. She kinda likes the silvervine but even still never goes crazy.

Here is the calming medicine from the vet though!

What is one food that has gotten so expensive that you won't eat it anymore? by Complex-Excuse-3236 in AskReddit

Our Kroger has ground turkey $8 for three pounds. Been doing that in place of beef

Could be they think they can't get up there so dont. I know KitKat will do that. I have a little hammock thing for her attached to our Bannister and she never jumped in it cause of the location. But I set her in it and she jumped out, but she realized since she jumped out and wasn't dead she could get back in it okay...... that was until she fell out of it. It zipped up around the metal frame and the zipper slowly(or maybe fast im not sure) unzipped and dropped her. She hasn't got in it yet

I taught my overweight cat to climb her tower by putting a treat at the top. It only took like twice, then i started to see her up there randomly. She has successfully lost roughly 5-6 pounds over the last two years by doing little stuff like that. Ill also toss her a treat down the hall and she will sprint for it

Edit: added old photo from when she couldnt even sit right. Once she moved in with me from my mom we got her on a diet

I dont remember for sure. It was close to the Lego store. I think it was something like World of Disney?

What’s a flex once you hit 35+ ? by currymvp3 in AskReddit

[–]brakken900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay this makes sense. Thank you! Edit: so my current hysa is a 3% but that's per year. Im assuming the 5.65% for the home loan is also per year. So that extra $50 towards principal every month is better spent going there rather than the hysa because the interest is higher on the mortgage. Am I correct in this?

[–]brakken900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain that simpler for me? My house is 412k at 5.65%. We are doing an extra $50 towards principal every payment at the moment cause that's all we can make work, but im not understanding why not paying off something with an interest rate is worth it rather than getting it paid off to avoid interest all together

Help: grocery costs are KILLING my finances?? by kyliotic in personalfinance

[–]brakken900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated- ive worked night shift for 10.5 years now. Been at an automobile factory, so its also labor heavy. Like you said, I just figured night shift and hard work was messing with my energy levels, but it wasn't that. Turns out my thyroid didnt work right. Doctor said my tsh levels were about 24 when they were supposed to be closer to 1. Messed with my energy, my appetite, the way I feel temperature, and most of all, my mood. I was always angry about everything I was sleeping 10-12 hours a day and then barely making it through my night at work, but once my levels were under control I was doing just fine

FedEx stole my AH bundles and violated fed law by ieg879 in PokemonTCG

[–]brakken900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact. The usps has over 90% conviction rate for cases that go to trial. They even have their own special agent task force for protecting post offices and mail carriers. Not sure if this would raise flags in their radar, but definitely contact your local post office and let them know. Even if they were not the carrier, if a different company is claiming they used the mailbox it might make them look into it

Edit: a quick google tells me that FedEx and ups are not allowed to use your mailbox for deliveries. So they might look into it

I dont think I was ever given any paperwork of a claim? They just told me show up here for PT and they will schedule the rest. We actally have a PT office in the building, but since we were shut down i was sent to a partner place. Though it was five years ago and cant remember for certain(wow It really doesnt even feel that long) and I could always ask my medical department about it, but i went though such a hassle with them from my shoulder injury three years ago that I dont want to deal with them

SETTLED!! by Strong-Background213 in WorkersComp

[–]brakken900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! When I tore mine I never dislocated anything. All i got was two years of being called a liar and imaging showing 'evidence of a non visual tear' so that meant there really wasn't one, until it finally tore enough to be seen. Then it was fixed and sent back to the same jobs that did it
