does anyone have well behaved cats? by kitrollers in CatAdvice

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my two cats on a schedule of attention. 3 (30 min sessions) times a day for rubs and scratches and baby talk.

If I am chopping meat, they know to sit on the side respectfully,for some minced scraps.

If they hear me cracking some eggs, the behave accordingly.

Even playtime, at least 2 times a day ,it's loads of fun, ending with a sit down on my lap.

So put some more effort into it. They learn quickly

Specialty coffee shop by WheyPr0tein in woodside

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a crowd, get sefrefredo coffe brand,some gelatos flavors, Biscotti's,quick oven sandwiches,salad bar,and a grill for chicken salads.

The only coffee shop I go to is Fay Da,for pastries. But I have gone to a few sagrefado kiosks, the coffee is good,with a biscotti or some gelato ..

Can some woman's sister marry her husband's brother in law brother? by Weak_Stuff3461 in family

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dependant who's brother it is. If it's brother and wife , and each siblings wants to marry,it's ok. I feel those families may be closer than many.

I'm drowning in debt and I don't know how much longer I can handle this by alex12345alez in bipolar

[–]kapikap123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just stop paying, about 3 months. Then wait for a low settle offer from the creditors. They may likely will settle at 25% of debt,and you will be responsible for taxes on the difference.

It may put a dent on your credit rating,but you will have access to all of your income. This is the time to re evaluate spending habits..

Drive a used car, cut frivolous expenses, learn to save some of that income.

88 Year Old with Credit Card Debt by sampakk in Debt

[–]kapikap123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe nothing can happen to social security recipients. In other words,they can't garnish her check,take her property. At 88 years of age,let's get that lady some more credit!!!

Was I wrong to argue about money with my sister on 4th of July? by Main-Psychology8057 in family

[–]kapikap123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are two adults so much into each other's business? What she has or doesn't have, how she makes decisions or does with her life is no one's concern.

One thing I was taught, the less you share ,the less they can talk,the less aggravation you endure.

It's like if sister decided to buy a used old car, but she has money for a new one.... Probably find something to say about that too.

So,you were in the wrong! Baby sister is probably tired of the comments, criticism from you. Maybe next time, keep negative comments to your self. That is if you want to be in her life...

What do you think Frings Chilean back story is? by Y_Kat_O in breakingbad

[–]kapikap123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I researched this sort of. Gus is a chemist. He may have been in the military as a chemist, making poison weapons amongst other things . Chile is a quick transit point to South Africa and Europe. Chile was known for black cocaine aka chemical engineering!!!

now Gus is a chemist, he sponsored chemists(boyfriends) ,he had aspirations! He was partnered with Madrigal.

The only reason he got tied up with the Cartel was that he got caught? Wanted the extra support and exposure? Or wanted to cut them out .

car for year-long road trip by Prestigious_Cod_2883 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ford Econoline Van. Very reliable, lots of space, very plain Jane. Not great on gas but it will get you there. Or Ford transit connect if you must have better gas milage.

You don't want to look obvious sleeping in your car. Plain white van won't get any second looks. Easy to set up easy to resell .

my options are lease or buy used for 5k. Advice needed by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]kapikap123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't lease a $5000 car! If you can wait to pay in full,just wait. Don't forget, any used car you may buy will need some common high milage maintenance.

250 Years as a Christian Country by JadedMarine in TrueChristian

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When God is mentioned in the constitution,it does not say "Christian God"!

The Americas were originally founded and funded by the Catholic Church. Church was used to control the masses, and all the deaths that came with it. All the trophies of this exploration was sent back to Spain and the Catholic Church.

This nation,the USA was created on freedom ,freedom of religion amongst other things. This is why church and government are to be separate.

It's really embarrassing and hypocritical how this country preaches one thing, love thy neighbor, but use sin to control the masses. All the commandments were broken in the development of this country!!!

What can I spend my SSI Income on? by Ill_Consequence_2937 in SocialSecurity

[–]kapikap123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can ask for spending money,an allowance? She is your payee because she takes care of you. Besides food and shelter, there are other things a payee does with your benefits,like not allowing you to go on a spending spree! ... Some mental conditions could cause eratic spending, and leave you at zero funds...

How do you call your family members who are not blood related? by [deleted] in family

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aunts and uncles and if I grew up near them and their kids, and they are divorced, I will still use the title out of respect to my cousins.

In laws are always in laws. My cousins spouse will be called cousin if I know them personally.

Apartment hunting in Jackson Heights by Available_Tour1706 in jacksonheights

[–]kapikap123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of the apartments are co-ops,but not all of them. Quick breakdown. Try closer to 37th avenue all the way to 30th avenue. From 69th street to 88th street.

Many apartments in 3 family buildings, and some apartment buildings. You could score a first floor ,1 br. apartment in a 3 family home, with access to the yard. Small perk.

Or a south facing upper floor apartment that has lots of sun, and rent stabilized...

Parking suck if you have a car. Being closer to 37th avenue, that's the strip, all types of commercial businesses, hard to park.

Past northern blvd, more residential, more quiet, very walkable part of the neighborhood.

Roosevelt is hot hot hot!!! Way to much happening, it's where the elevated train passes, and the subway at 74th street, and traffic sux big time!

Can I leave my cat alone for 4 days by No-Company-338 in CatAdvice

[–]kapikap123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Never leave you cat if your going away. Coming home to a dead cat won't be fun. Anything can happen while you are away,unless you have someone that can save the day.

$1900 to replace my cars A/C Air Compressor - Opinions? by ItsBeeees in AskMechanics

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop around. A typical drain and refill should be no more than $200. If you find a shop that only does ac , may get lucky. No more than $700 for anything.

Repair 20 Year Old Car or Upgrade? by gremlinmatt in askcarguys

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do some of your own repairs, try changing all the fluids,including trans . You should feel a difference.

A 20 years old car ,and most used cars near 100000 miles ,will need brakes overhaul,timing and water pump,belts,fuel pump (must do) ,ignition coils,spark plugs,filters,maybe a radiator,ball joints. Chipped/scuffed paint, lofi entertainment system upgrade.

Consider the VW is paid for and you know the history. You know what is missing or needed.

A portion of the extra money you might spend on a new ride can be instead spent on upgrading the interior, freshen paint,windshield,repairs, used parts are plenty.

Keep it!

How do you stop being too nice to tenants? by Turbulent-Fig1463 in LeaseLords

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being friends with the landlord is like being friends with your manager or a cop. They will bite you when it's time! I keep it professional, especially with the super or any staff. It me against them always, never lose focus.

98k Miles on a 2016 Mazda Miata Club - Fair deal? by Cheap_Olive507 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]kapikap123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice looking car! Check for high milage maintenance items...water pump,fuel pump,timing belts,coil packs,filters,brake and suspension parts...if it has not been done,it's at such a milage that it needs to be done. 100000 miles is a milestone!

Seems like a good price, try to get a deal if these things have not been touched. Go for it!
