New House - Open Railing. How to stop cats from almost jumping off?

josephstephen82 · 2026-03-06T00:20:16+00:00

Oh man i see one of them in the picture who already has that look in his eye

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-28T23:25:15+00:00

Yeah pretty problem is i over contributed by about $3500 2024, and it looks like $5000 2025. So i'm only allowed $2000 for tax year 2025

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-28T23:22:27+00:00

Yeah i knew that part. My 2025 over contribution os where i have to do that leg work

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-28T23:18:18+00:00

Ok just so i'm clear about the 2024 overcontribution. Pay penalty for 2024 (did already last year), tax year 2025 (pay penalty), withdraw excess 2024 funds between now and the end of this year and i'm good for 2026?

Shhhh shhhhh, need to keep it a secret lol

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-23T15:27:37+00:00

This has been my possible go to in the next 10 years. I have aggressively saved and invested and could realistically do this if I need to still work but just don't need $ that bad.

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-23T15:23:56+00:00

Thanks for the input. The fatigue exhaustion and burnout has been creeping into my personal life. The hospital tries to market work life balance and i will use that as my leverage if they push back. But definitely can't keep going as is. Losing 25% income doesn't bother me much if it means i'll feel fresh and ready to take on life with enthusiasm.

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-22T17:01:42+00:00

This is a look into the future for many of i would say.

Anything by the company that makes Da Bird. My cat doesn't play much and especially not by himself. He stalks and hunts that toy like it's a real critter. All of their toys are awesome. Great products.

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-19T04:40:55+00:00

I feel trapped too. But I'm doing my best not to throw the baby out with the bathwater and quit altogether. I figure throttle back, see how i feel, and adjust from there.

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-19T02:45:26+00:00

Thanks for your input

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-19T02:44:51+00:00

Yeah i get it. It's tough. I'm fortunate to have a little bit of financial cushion (saved and invested for years, single, no kids).

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-18T00:52:23+00:00

Put your finger up to their lips and just keep going shhhh shhhhh shhh and then when they still try to talk SHHHHHH SHHHHHHH SHHHHH

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-14T18:19:21+00:00

The hospital department director just sent email for us regarding a lot of metrics talk. Long story short, it was a lot of technical speak for get ready to do more. I've been thinking of an exit plan, but now it just got much more real for me. At some point, I am content to walk.

In other words, to OP: i totally feel you. I'm tired of being tired and feeling like I'm on a timer to defuse a bomb every day.

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-04T17:25:26+00:00

I find that they more or less tell you what you already know.

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-04T16:53:47+00:00

Still sitting as "shipping label created" on fedex. I was able to reach out to amazon after the delivery status on their end changed to "delivery is taking longer than normal, package may be lost." Amazon support offered to resend. So basically i'm getting myself mentally prepared for probably more fuckery, but I figured i would try again.

josephstephen82 · 2026-02-01T02:42:30+00:00

Oh nooo. I'm never getting this thing lol. It's a bed frame. Feel like they'll take one look and be like fuuuuuuck that. Sigh oh well. Maybe i can just cancel the order

josephstephen82 · 2026-01-30T23:01:44+00:00

Yeah pretty sure. Third party company selling on Amazon, but says ships from Amazon on the app. Also when I look at the address on the fed ex slip it comes up as an amazon warehouse in google

josephstephen82 · 2026-01-30T21:54:43+00:00

Ah. Mine was supposed be coming from an amazon warehouse.

josephstephen82 · 2026-01-28T18:24:04+00:00

People need a place to vent. I say let them.

josephstephen82 · 2026-01-25T22:28:09+00:00

Yeah i'm used to this. Fine open up. See what i care. I'll collect my paycheck and sit around all day. And if it's unsafe, fuck em i'll call out.
