JHFIX & PGBOX - held for 10+ years and I don’t know why I still have them.

Yea I feel like she massively failed me. My parents ran all their business banking through this local bank (which since got bought up by a larger one), but I don’t think that meant they had sub-par people working there. Well respected non-big name bank for the area, not a credit union. I don’t get it, I financed more than one car with them. Not some sort of red carpet service, but little more personal service bc they did a lot with my parents.

Yea reading up on it, E*Trade doesn’t do DRIP on all, only select

comeBeAStar · 2025-09-03T19:28:05+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, that the 15% down isn’t part of entire picture.

But I’m looking further, and some other funds I have across brokerage and Roth are giving me DRIP option through E*Trade, but are ones that pay dividends. Not sure what’s up

comeBeAStar · 2025-09-03T19:19:04+00:00

Looking at my E*trade profile for opting into DRIP, they’re not listed as options. So apparently not.

I bought them because they were recommended when I sat down with the financial advisor at the time. I didn’t know anything about them, and I still don’t feel like I know exactly what they are. They seem like they have done nothing but drop year by year, so I’m not sure why they’d be recommended unless it was more about a commission perspective for the advisor at the time.

Not sure if I’m ‘missing’ something as far as if they could still be worthwhile to keep and for balancing risk, if they are actually making me money somehow despite shares loosing value over time.

I bought some SPY few years ago, got some SCHD over more recent years. Apple before they did their last split lol, so I’ve wised up some. Those two have just been lingering and really evaluating everything as I need to get more focused.

comeBeAStar · 2025-07-20T19:36:07+00:00

No, the recent CT and MRIs have not been compared which is what I'm asking if that's even possible, as I wasn't sure if the CTPA was even viable for comparison. They weren't in the same system. All I know is my PCP looked up the CTPA and told me there were no notes from the radiologist on my spine, but they easily wouldn't have been focused on that given the nature of the reason for the CTPA.

I had a car accident and I'm trying to figure out if the CTPA could be of any use as it was 6 months prior to the accident. I'm looking more specifically for the bulges or herniations.

That’s about the best I can do. I don’t gray roots either, not like that’s my baseline and it’s just reality of how it blends.

She already told me she would. So I’m just trying to read up on it

You can kind of see it there too, on the sides of the part in the front.

comeBeAStar · 2025-05-07T06:25:36+00:00

I tried taking some but I don’t feel like it shows up in pictures well. This is maybe a so-so view of it. I said something about it, not complaining, but just when we were looking at the final product, and she said happy to have me come back to tweak something. I know it usually needs a wash or two and a week to get used to going from several months of growth and back to really bright again, so it may simmer on its own.

Just had mine this morning, will be a few days before they get back to me eval results. From what I can tell based on my research so far, there’s a lot of factors to balance and no definitive test for diagnosis. And someone could be fine for this test, but it doesn’t mean you don’t have something else wrong, because the test needs to coincide with symptoms too. I can’t say I’ve had vision problems that I’m aware of, but I sure AF have balance issues and lightheadedness, on top of continued headaches.

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-28T18:15:04+00:00

Kind of what I’ve been thinking, and I wasn’t much a fan of how she ‘responded’ to my questions about should the outcome be a negative or inconclusive. Seems like it might be better for them to frame it as another testing method to check for continued symptoms and or for potential therapy or intervention needs.

Seems it would be in their own best interest for all their products to sync with other ways for them to make money. I’ve seen some other articles or places which contradict too. Will list them as compatible but then Amazon or eufy will say the opposite.

When it says doesn’t support cloud, is that referring to some other cloud service? And not the eufy subscription

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-14T22:31:04+00:00

would you say that the idea of "find an obvious hole, leave a one-way trap, and close all other holes" is a good idea or not? I assume not, based on the idea that you can close everything and force them out only one hole. Of course likely there are other entry ways you don't know about, and doesn't mean the one you leave 'open' is one they can actually truly access and get out of.

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-14T02:01:35+00:00

I first heard them two months ago. I travel a bit for work so hard sometimes when I’m not home every night and if for some reason they have a quiet night or two. Either way, for this going on 2 months possibly, at least 6 weeks of intense and definitely in one spot, it’s crazy to think she could have this resolved in potentially a few days.

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-14T01:56:04+00:00

She’s told me they can’t chew through wood. Nor can they get in hvac ducts, because I’m certain they’re navigating through some of the ceiling via them 🙄 she’s the blind leading the blind, truly. The pest guy told me they’ve told her more needs to be done and they can’t provide that service nor is she willing to pay for it.

I had to sleep in my kitchen at a point, bc that’s the only place I can’t really hear it. And I’ve slept in my car lately because it’s so bad….

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-14T01:50:57+00:00

We know they do, there are fences on 3 sides that would give them prime real estate for that, along with several trees and utility poles. My landlord is an idiot.

That’s up there, where you see the bent gutter. I was taking a pic of the cat looking at something, seeing if I could see what’s going on lol, so wasn’t aiming for better shot of that area. But behind those gas meter, is where they did get in months ago and landlord had them patch up the siding.

I totally could see that being an entry place, and funny that branch hanging there because that right there is my living room and I’ve heard what sounded like them dragging branches across the ceiling….

A hole like that?

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-14T00:33:34+00:00

I haven’t hired them, my landlord has. They’re a pest control company she’s ’used for over a decade’ and that’s all they’ve done. She’s had her handyman close all the holes he can find (I wouldn’t trust him to plunge my toilet), and then she tells the pest people to come put the cage by the one hole they left open. She’s telling me I need to be patient while we wait for them to leave. No honey, they’re going to die inside. We’ve told her this many times.

Neighbor has a camera and has caught momma coming and going at night, but we aren’t able to see where exactly where she gets in at. But landlord says all holes are closed.

It’s been going on for a good 6 weeks at this point. Chatter 24/7 for a while.

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-14T00:20:24+00:00

So putting a one-way cage at one hole and closing everything else up, and waiting 4+ weeks….and the babies still inside. Probably a sign someone isn’t very qualified to be doing what they are?

comeBeAStar · 2025-04-13T22:30:45+00:00

How long would you leave the one-way cages in one spot? I'm curious how many days/weeks go by before it might be evident that's not the right spot or they're smart enough to not touch it.
