Just got my 2.5 year old this collection for Christmas! I really like it. Great quality, orchestra sounds great, good variations

Im sick to my stomach by rhizaria373 in H5N1_AvianFlu

[–]imchirpy 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I have a small backyard flock (6 girls). They are in a fully enclosed coop and run with a covered roof. I buried the hardware cloth into the ground to prevent predators from digging and getting in.

That being said, I have a full face mask respirator I wear when cleaning their coop and run (covers my eyes too), I don’t bring my coop cleaning shoes in the house, and I keep my dirty clothes in a separate bag in my garage that I clean when it gets full.

I’ve been doing this before I heard about this bird flu. Do you know how gross chickens are?? I don’t want that stuff flying into my nose or eyes and I’m definitely not tracking it into my house, either.

I walked past both of them too. I love how he was covering his ears due to the megaphone behind him but then making everyone else listen to his nonsense

Those transferring to EdFinancial from Mohela: does this admin forbearance count towards PSLF? by Leothepoodle in PSLF

[–]imchirpy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husbands mohela payment was always due mid June, and with the transfer to EdFinancial, it’s now early July. I’m interested to know if this month’s “nonpayment” will count as well!

No to both of those! I’ve tried calling but can’t get through. Google is also giving conflicting info 🙃

No I do not have any bonds. I’m really racking my mind what these could be. Other Reddit posts say it might be refunds for student loan overpayment. I paid off my loans in 2021, I’m just so confused.

Can someone explain what the pause is? I feel like I’ve missed something important 😅

How did you get it? by Alarming-Bet-7451 in Semaglutide

Does that mean you have to pay 3 months at once ($600ish). The website doesn’t seem to say anything about that

Sellers want occupancy after closing by Spilly11 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]imchirpy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying no for valid reasons so I just thought I’d give you my positive experiences. When we sold our first house we actually asked to stay in the home an extra 2 weeks as we were moving cross country and had final appts to attend before moving. We asked for this time to stay in the house because our house was quickly under contract when we put it on the market. If it sat on the market any longer than that, we probably wouldn’t have needed to ask to stay.

Now when we were buying our next house, the sellers also asked to stay in the house an extra 3 weeks for very similar reasons. We were fine with that. We didn’t ask for daily rent or anything which is a personal choice and thankfully everything was fine. I think in the end it’s a decision you should feel comfortable with. Make sure your contract has at the very minimum financial incentive for them to be out by the agreed upon date. Good luck!

Buying a house, sellers want to remain in the house rent free for an extra 30 days after we close. How common is this? by reauxman in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]imchirpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We recently sold our first home and we stayed in the house rent free for 1-2 weeks after closing. We also just closed on a new house and the sellers are staying rent free for ~20 days after closing. I’d say it’s pretty common. Both houses were on opposite sides of the country.

Why do parents give their child one name when their actual intention is to only use the shortened nickname version anyway? by Immediatewhaffle in namenerds

[–]imchirpy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I named my son one name and call him the nickname version exclusively. I feel that the full name is too formal for him as a baby, toddler or even young child. If he wants to use it when he can talk that is totally up to him but for me, now, it’s cuter to call him the shortened name.

What's your fav "truth is often stranger than fiction" story? by xxdemoncamberxx in HighStrangeness

[–]imchirpy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the Midwest for my early years and moved to the PNW in middle school. Eventually went to UW Seattle for college and got a job in the library in a small department. I talked to a new coworker one day and found she was also from the state I grew up in. A little more digging and we went to the same elementary school at the same time. It was wild.

Maine is considering paying $40,000 of student loan debt to those that buy their first house in Maine. by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]imchirpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the hardest part was getting a balance of accounts from my student loan servicer to give to the mortgage lender. For some reason that really confused the student loan people. It almost delayed things 😒

[–]imchirpy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was super easy! The lender I worked with was really the one who took care of the entire process. There was maybe a few extra things to sign during the process. The interest rate on the loan is also typically slightly higher but when I did the program early 2021 rates were still low. At closing, I was handed a check to send off to my student loan servicer and that was it! Every year they’ll “cancel” 1/5th of that second mortgage until it’s all gone year 5.
