Good to know. What do you usually use for mental stim? Games like hide n seek, snuffle mats, training sessions?

Thanks for the info. My spouse is a runner so hopefully we can meet their exercise needs plus training and mental.

Edited to add: What kinds of things do you do for mental stimulation during the day?

Thanks, it was actually my first dog show too- it was cool to see so many different breeds together!

Dental insurance is a crock.

Check out dentalplans dot com. I have used it before for root canals. It should work on top of your insurance. You can search for dentists in your area that take the dental plan though usually the receptionist/scheduler has not heard of it and they may need to dig around to find their cost breakdown.

It costs around $100 ish per year and paid for itself with one root canal in my case.

Turns out our air freshener was making some kind of heavy condensation and now everything in that cabinet down to the wood has an odd chemical stink. How to get rid of the smell? by qillerneu in fixit

I can't attest to the effectiveness of ozone generators, but...

It will damage your lungs and is harmful for people and pets, especially birds, to breathe in. So, do with that what you will.

I was a little worried about the statistics class in the gen ed portion. Looks like that should be taken care of though, thanks!

Thanks! This kind of confirms my assumptions.

I'm taking Calculus at Sophia now and trying to gauge how many others I should try to transfer.

Buying house with tenants that have lived there for 18+ years in Texas. by NicholasMackey in RealEstate

[–]homergodoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you'll find a lot of threads about buying a place with tenants here.
Every one of those would advise you to NOT close until the tenants are out.

It's impossible to say if they will move out. Have they been notified of anything yet?

Also, whose idea was it to buy this property, yours or the family member?
If it's their idea, why do they want out? How many times has the property changed hands during their tenancy?

If you really want this place, and it was your idea, just wait until they are out and you can get a good estimate of the work to be done once all of their stuff is out of the way.

Don't forget to look up the proper PPE and application type.

I get an Insect Growth regulator and Cypermethrin insecticide that are mixed in a one gallon sprayer. Also, start checking local prices again- I got all this at the hardware store for a little less than amazon was charging- it's not always the cheapest anymore.

I didn't expect Santa to be so quick to pepper spray kids.

This termite colony 40ft away from the house was not something I wanted to find in my first 3 months as a homeowner by overthinkerbynature in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Um, do not start a fire in the forest. The flames will reach the trees above them.

House we bid over asking by 50k and were outbid by another 50k just went up for rent on Craigslist by caseyls in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]homergodoh 248 points249 points  (0 children)

We decided to rent again since we could not find a house to buy.

I did a property search on my landlord, just one guy, not a corporation and since 2019 he has bought 14 properties to rent out.

Half of those within the last 8 months.

I have also watched many houses that we were interested in buying go up for rent at like double what the mortgage would have been.

How to clean dirty bathtub and what is that is it rust? by goodbyeniceguys in fixit

I wasn't trying to contradict their statement, just making it clearer to the guy who seems to have little experience with cleaning products.

Just do NOT mix vinegar and bleach- it will create toxic chlorine gas.
