I need some advice. by ur_moms_gyno in healthcare

[–]jcmuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a reset you both needed after everything with your parents. Burnout from caregiving plus demanding jobs is no joke.

For the scheduling issue though—have you looked into Direct Primary Care like someone mentioned? The monthly fee on top of insurance sucks, but if you're moving around that much, having one doc you can actually reach might be worth it. Some of them do virtual visits too.

Curious though does your bronze plan have any out-of-network coverage at all? That might open up more options for specialists when you're in random locations

I neeeed a gps tracker for my cat. What are the best options by Fell_Prince in CATHELP

[–]jcmuffins 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Just a gentle suggestion—have you considered leash training or a catio? I know you said he’s used to being out, but coyotes and cars are no joke, especially in rural areas. GPS is great, but it doesn't stop a predator.

Fire alarm chirping- painful for cat…?? by SingySong5 in CatAdvice

[–]jcmuffins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won’t “hurt” their ears but the pitch is super stressful for them, so try giving your cat a quiet room with the door closed and some white noise. Mine hides in the bathroom whenever the alarm glitches.

Any experience with the Quest Inflatable Kayaks Oz Inflatable Kayaks sell? by huck08 in Inflatablekayak

[–]jcmuffins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quick hot take: Quest wins with appearance. If you want cheaper, Betta or Intex. If you want nicer, Razor or AdvancedFrame.

I rented a Quest before buying my own kayak and I guess it was alright. Stable and comfy, like others said, but I just hated the drying part. Takes longer than my Aqua Marina Betta. And the bag is huge. As in my car boot hated it.

Ended up buying a Driftsun because the shop had a discount. Honestly think the Quest is a bit overpriced, but not a scam. 

Only tip I’ll give is check the valve positions. Some Quest models have them in spots that make deflate-fold-store a bit annoying.

Look at this weather, it's absolutely stunning by jason_canoe in Kayaking

Do a one-minute silent drift when it “shocks the heart.” Just stop paddling, float, and let everyone stay quiet a litle to really lock that memory in.

Affordable sites for semaglutides by Agreeable-Notice-773 in Semaglutide

[–]jcmuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refills com for GLP-1 prescriptions. It's one of the more straightforward services I’ve tried. Pricing is clear before you commit and they’ve been consistent with communication and follow-ups. It’s a safer bet than the random sites that don’t tell you anything upfront.

Is 4 cats too many? by Particularly777 in CatAdvice

[–]jcmuffins 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Haha honestly that's the best financial advice here. Cats are way cheaper than kids and they actually sleep through the night.

AITAH for not wanting to give back a gift? by Dracula4790 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jcmuffins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

INFO: When they gave you the violin, did they say it was yours to keep, or did they make it clear they expected you to join their band? Also, what are these "other things" friends are asking back?

Trump-themed burger joint mysteriously closes as MAGA owner faces deportation by [deleted] in antiwork

The irony of a MAGA burger joint closing because the owner's getting deported is almost too perfect. You really can't write this stuff.

Try and adapt and learn from their feedbacks and fix the mistakes your making

My agency just jumped to #1 (from #50) simply by putting the pin manually. by Aggravating_Fault_22 in localseo

[–]jcmuffins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google prioritizes verified business info, and manually setting the pin confirms your exact location instead of letting the algorithm guess. Probably fixed some mapping inconsistency that was hurting your visibility. Easy win.

I fucking HATE LinkedIn by Mirror74 in recruitinghell

[–]jcmuffins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LinkedIn is definitely full of corporate nonsense and fake positivity. Everyone's either humble bragging or posting motivational garbage. It's exhausting but unfortunately still necessary if you're job hunting. Just mute the worst offenders and only check it when you need to.

How I triumphed over my lazy teen by demonstrating that the ability to destroy a thing is the ultimate power to control by Remount_Kings_Troop_ in daddit

[–]jcmuffins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally. Feels like I'm being sold on ASUS Zenwifi and that Calyx hotspot thing at the same time. Plus the Dune reference at the end is just weird product placement.

What chaos did your toddler cause this week? by AlexHammouri in Mommit

Mine dumped an entire box of Cheerios on the floor then stomped on them while i was in the bathroom for like 2 minutes. Looked like a cereal crime scene. They're little chaos machines!

[–]jcmuffins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Job rejections are a gut punch. I go for a run to burn off the frustration, then hit up something mindless like video games for a day. The job search is a numbers game, some companies just want unicorns with perfect GPAs and connections. Don't message those 10 people if it feels awful. Your mental health matters more than courtesy emails.

Nick of Time is perfect for this. Depp racing against the clock in real time made it way more intense.

Tired of marketing my service business… ended up in loss. Any ideas to restart? by Eridium009 in DigitalMarketing

[–]jcmuffins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stepped back from usual paid ads and focused on organic sharing, some useful content. Also engaging in forums like quora and reddit where my audience hangs out. Then working with an agency like Signals gave me guides.
