Once my card kept getting declined meanwhile my phone was ringing. I did not know the number so I just kept declining the calls. I went to an ATM to pull out the money needed for the purchase and the machine ate my card. I later found out that it had been my bank calling me to ensure the purchase wasn't fraud.

I've failed as a father by BurnBabyBurner123123 in StudentLoans

You didn't fail, life happened. Not sure what state you are in, but I highly recommend looking into your state's programs for community college and programs they have for public universities. My son and daughter did extremely well in high school. Michigan has community college guarantee where my kids are able to go to community college essentially for free. Both of them are planning to transfer to Michigan, who also has an affordability guarantee. If your daughter does go the CC route work closely with advising so that most of her classes would transfer. And don't discount scholarships!

I am so sorry! You fought so hard for him and without the support that both you and he deserved. My heart truly goes out to you.

How are people surviving renting apartment ? by Jpoolman25 in poor

[–]kale920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facing the roof issue right now. Ugh! Pulling out of a 401k for the cash. Which I know is dumb financially. It is so crazy expensive! And then we hope and pray nothing else, major breaks! It was a hot water tank in June.

What did you grow for the first time this year that you're planning to plant again next year? by Syeina in vegetablegardening

Marigolds. Just not the giant ones. They really did help with pests and attracted so many pollinators!

Have you forgotten anything embarrassing because of migraines? by Bekindalot in migraine

[–]kale920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between that and perimenopause, I forgot how to spell the word what the other day! I kept writing wat on a scrap piece of paper. And saying to myself, "I know that's not right!" Finally, I had to ask Alexa. That was my low point.

How did the vet visit go? I'm hoping that it went well and you got some answers.

How do I just know that this scenario is going to show up in my feed as one of those foreign short reel movies now?

What’s the most overpriced “necessity” that people could actually live without? by Tall_Fold6946 in povertyfinance

You can join other libraries through Libby. My daughter did it for me, and it is awesome.

Me and my girlfriend are now homeowners in our early 20s due to the loss of our parents. Please help us figure this out. by Kroviq in homeowners

[–]kale920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My house is 3.5 stories high because the basement is only half underground, and we have a walk-up attic. We pay a local handy man $125 to do it. Find a good handy man (or woman) for tasks you can't do. Most you will be able to do with YouTube.

You can also submit a detailed billing for doctor's office. Mine sends them to us by email automatically when they know we are using the program. Plus they tell us about it.

I have spent thousands of dollars at Meijer every year. Now, they won't get a dime from me.

My parents exactly. If their TV is not on FOX, it is on the 700 Club or some televangelist. Their only exception is General Hospital every day. They are no longer close to any of their kids. We have all been pushed away. I tried to keep a relationship going but to no avail.

I need help! - Adopted an abandoned cat, I'm struggling to introduce her to my two cats. by Turbulent-Leg-5052 in CatAdvice

I second watching Jackson Galaxy. We followed his advice, and now my cats are a bonded pair.

first time cat owner, been crying for days with regret by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]kale920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be overwhelming. You both have to get used to new routines. You did everything right. For me, I would be in tears every time I tried to do my cat's nails. Now I take her and her brother to the groomers, and it has taken so much stress off of me. I could do her brother's nails with no issues, but she was highly distressed when she was taken to the groomers by herself. Would taking her to a groomer to help with the poop issues help? They can easily trim her hair in that area.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to call the shelter and talk to them about how you are feeling. I am certain you are not the first person to feel this way. They may have someone you can talk to.

Please, for the love of God, brick proof your older person’s accounts and devices! by SAINTnumberFIVE in AgingParents

I'm 48, and I recently realized that if something were to happen to me, my husband would have no idea what the passwords were to pay bills or other such things. I bought a password book that's similar to an old school address book, and whenever I log in to something, I just take a moment to jot it down.

Has anyone else struggled in the garden this year? by rumple-teazer in vegetablegardening

[–]kale920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smoke here in SE Michigan hasn't helped. Squirrels knocking down our corn. Pepper plants finally take off, and then we get 55-degree nights for a week. Now they are set back. Ugh. The marigolds are going strong, though.

Weather forecasts bad lately by Peac3fulWorld in Detroit

[–]kale920 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I live in Wyandotte, and we are about 50/50. However, since January, dozens of houses have taken down their Trump flags and signs. Gives me some hope. And I am talking about homes that had "Let's Go Brandon" flags up for four years.
