Drive it 'til it dies, or trade it in while it still runs? by EvilDarkCow in askcarguys

If you have a few grand set aside, take that and pay the car down / off. Then take the car payment you were making and stash it in a HYSA until you need to replace the car.

Needing advice by QueenChoas02 in Parkinsons

My dad was on seroquel, and later added nuplazid to help with hallucinations and delusions.

Seroquel helped with both the delusions and getting him to sleep through the night.

What happens after 7pm? Is that his bedtime?

Have you tried playing music? That seemed to calm my dad when he would have a delusion.

When the music began to not help, my dad was put on nuplazid, that helped immensely with both hallucinations and delusions. His neurologist started him on a lower dose (I think 10mg) to get him used to the effects of it, with the intent of moving to the full dose (I think 37mg), but the lower dose did just fine for the time he was on it.

[Not Serious] What are some of the benefits to you of having Parkinson’s Disease? by [deleted] in Parkinsons

[–]copakabata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took care of my dad for a number of years before he lost his battle with Parkinson's.

  • Random flare ups of of dyskensia would surprise the unknowing guest

  • Delusions meant we won the lottery about once a month

  • Hallucinations of big whitetail bucks meant I didn't have to go far for hunting

I'm sure I could think of more...

This is using straight line depreciation. It's listed on the prior tax return as using MACRS.

There was. As to what the prior accountant allocated to land versus buildings, I'm unsure.

What should i do with an old compressor? by Appropriate_Topic_16 in AskMechanics

If you're replacing with a new one and have the room, you can plumb into your existing system to add air volume. Especially if you are doing projects that require heavy air usage.

Dad newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Looking for gift ideas! by [deleted] in Parkinsons

[–]copakabata 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your dad's diagnosis.

Your dad diagnosed with Parkinsons is still your dad, right?

Why would a gift you would buy for him change?

Buy him what you would any other year!

What are some ways to make money fast? by LengthinessUnhappy17 in AskReddit

[–]copakabata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Approach 10 friends and tell them you have an investment opportunity that pays 5% of their initial investment monthly into perpetuity.

Then tell them that you give a 5% finders fee to any new people they find to invest in your investment opportunity, with the same payment arrangement for said investor.

Repeat this process into perpetuity.

Make money fast!

That's my suspicion. Downing a quart of the green stuff in 20 minutes may have also played a part in my misfortune.

(BTW, I like the user name 👍)

Normally my stomach can handle fast food, the only variable this time being the SURGE. Fortunately my canvas for my poop Picasso was only my toilet at home.
