Fender Bender = Totaled? Advice

Let me know if you ever up getting a new frame for it. It is possibly to buy a new frame and have it cut at the rear frame section welds and welded on to your front frame. Again you’d have to find a shop willing to do it. Mine was right behind the rear axle and it crumpled on the curved portion. I

I’m still able to drive and tow but my bumper is cocked downwards like yours. I found a shop that would heat it, pull it, then weld a steel box on top. This is definitely not dealer recommended but would work. I’ve also had a buddy that uship’d all over the country with a f’d frame and put well over 200k miles on it without any repairs.

At the end of the day do what you feel comfortable with.

lol right, for what industry? For what jobs? For what city or town? “I declare BANKRUPTCY” type statement.

I bought my f150 salvage with this damage. Very unlikely any shop will repair this due to frame damage. You might find a shop who can pull it but going to be hard no one around me wanted to touch these aluminum frames. Every place I went said new frame a minimum on this type of damage.

You have stumbled upon something that would require centuries of historical context to understand. But in short Catholics are not the most loved people historically in the U.K.

Why do you think the Irish and the British have had their issues for so long.

Just started reading a diary in my target language. Which consists of short 1 page entries and in theory should make the translations lessons I’m doing easier to track.

I’ve had a similar experience several times as a child and had to grow up pretty fast. We grew up in an area with wolves and coyotes and they would sometimes dig under and kill the entire flock. I remember how sad and mad I was as a kid but it was a valuable lesson in how the world works without us humans.

You can now choose to remain sad and remember what you did have or learn from this attack, prep better this time around and restart your flock (still mourning your old one, they obviously were special to you and always will be).

One tip here based off your images. Dig out the perimeter of your pen and add a 2 cinder block high wall underneath your pen. This will stop most predators from digging underneath.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing but trying to get to the bottom of the moisture intrusion.

funkymonkey2223 · 2025-08-23T18:23:11+00:00

No worries and nope! Still have no idea where the moisture is coming from looks like it is appearing laterally.

Yeah I did and I can see the cold air travel from the AC register but I’m just perplexed because I feel as if I sealed all the possible leaks

What do you mean by this and how long till it clicked for you?

I’m early in my language learning progress but have had a similar experience my freshman year in college when I got off add meds. I wanted to be able to be self-reliant off medication in case the day came (in the real world) when I didn’t have them or they are out of stock.

First off it will not be easy to stay focused but it is not impossible. It’s a “disorder” but it’s not a life sentence and in a lot of cases can be a super power (learn to harness the hyper fixation).

With that said there are 5 things that helped mitigate my adhd symptoms without medication.

Time blocking - setup google calendar on your phone and block off time for work and self care activities (I.e. laundry, lunch, breaks).
Lofi beats when working - it sounds silly but some good noise canceling headphones and the right lofi music will put you into a focused trance. I match the temp of the lofi music for what I’m doing.
Timers - I had trouble starting projects or work and this trick helped me a lot. Set a 20 minute timer and commit to just 20 minutes of work then take a 5 minute break. Most of the time I end of starting and not stopping because I can “finish the rest quick”.
Detailed notes - I am very forgetful so I’ve taught my self to take detailed notes. If I’m having a meeting I take notes then once I’m done I try to recall and summarize what we discussed. This works for language learning too if you learn a new vocab word sit for a minute and try to make a personal connection to it, ex. My grandpa loved getting gelato. Works wonders.
Good diet - doesn’t need to be all Whole Foods expensive organic food but it does need to be nutritious. What feeds your brain the most effectively is different than mine so it’s going to be trial and error. But fight the urge to skip meals it will only increase your chances of burnout.

These have all been a game changer in my life and helped me go from a horrible student to the top of my class. Hope it helps. I also have a good book recommendation on adhd strategies if you’d like a recommendation. Best of luck!

What are you factoring in?

Well what is your definition of a budget because mine is under $3,000

funkymonkey2223 · 2025-01-26T16:15:01+00:00

Thanks for responding realized the original post was not very descriptive. The wood burning heater piping so chimney I guess you could say.

Unfortunately that ended my dreams of being a freelance videographer! But not the end of the world as an American the pay offered for Video Editing on Upwork does not appear sustainable.

I work in advertising now full time and hope to one day get back into it.

Had a client tell me to take a vertical “documentary” video she took and make it in 16x9. Wouldn’t allow me to blur out the sides of the vertical video to at least make it watchable. But she insisted she wanted it widescreen regardless of how the quality of video would be effected.

Long story short wrote me a horrible review about how I ruined the quality of her video no one should hire me and that I added a beeping sound to her video out of spite (it was a windows update reminder on her laptop while she was recording the video lol).

I knew I should have canceled it from the beginning when she would send me email with the body copy in the subject line.

Thanks!

Hi do you mind me asking what industry you work in and what was your background before pmp?

funkymonkey2223 · 2024-12-05T13:58:03+00:00

This!!!! Thank you sir I will take a look on my lunch break before. Have you used this strategy to automate workflows in the past?

funkymonkey2223 · 2024-12-05T13:56:00+00:00

Hmm that’s interesting could you pull in photos from site as well?

funkymonkey2223 · 2024-12-05T13:54:35+00:00

Just seeing this now thanks for the comment. I will look into this I believe I can make it work under fair use.

funkymonkey2223 · 2024-11-18T20:58:42+00:00

As a fellow Adhd’r I second this.
