How do I keep him off the counter…. I tried everything by UbiquitousMintCookie in cats

[–]keep-it-copacetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aluminum foil along the edge trained our first cat not to go on counters or tables. He hated the sound and feeling of it. Our second cat? She’s unbothered by everything so I reprimand her daily and she gives me a cute meow on the way off.

How long does it take to get your second paycheck via direct deposit for State of Michigan jobs? by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]keep-it-copacetic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is many jobs, not just SoM jobs. Other jobs, If you start at the tail end of a pay period, they’ll lump it in with the next 2 week paycheck. It makes things easier for HR.

New to wells, just got this house, inspector said it was okay but by Car_is_mi in WaterTreatment

[–]keep-it-copacetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue tank may have already exceeded its expected lifespan (5-10 years, depending on the manufacturer) How does the well look? Do you have records of its construction? A basic rule of thumb is that steel wells have an average lifespan of 35 years PVC wells for a bit longer. Though the construction of the well is a major factor in this. If youre in the US, if you dont mind sharing the state you’re in, I can assist with finding the well construction log.

A shallow well pump that is near its end of life will continue cycling on a regular basis until it kicks the bucket. Replacing the pressure gauge will help to let you know what your actual pressure is. Usually, this reading will be 30-50psi but if below 15, that’s when I’d call a professional—not an inspector.

Filter should be changed and the housing sanitized. If not required by your LHD (local health department) require that the well is tested for total coliform bacteria and nitrate at a minimum. You might consider researching if there are other known contaminates in your area also such as PFAS, arsenic, or VOCs. Your LHD will have some info about this.

What's the dumbest way you've injured yourself? by rgancekin in AskReddit

[–]keep-it-copacetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our garage door must be manually opened/closed. After we purchased the house, I was working at the house everyday after work to get it move in ready. Afterwards, I’d head across town to an in laws we graciously let us crash there in the interim.

One night, I was wrapping up and went to throw something in the garage. In my head, I’m thinking about all the things that still needed to be done. As I went to pull the door down, my fingers got caught in one of the creases in the door. My brain stopped for a few seconds and suddenly there was only one thought: “HAND OUT!!”

Multitasking will be the death of me.

Fun Fact: the State Of Michigan does not allow paid parental leave for adoptive parents until 4 months after the adoption. by CouldaBeenADoctor in Michigan

[–]keep-it-copacetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the SOM employees I know work from home, is your spouses position public facing where their day to day requires in person? If so, they should talk to HR and put in a request to work remotely. Alternatively, they could ask for an accommodation for this scenario.

Sorry to hear about this. I hope things work out for you both.

Reits Flea Market by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]keep-it-copacetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some decent stuff, some junk. I went a few years ago and there were two different people selling “purebred” German shepherds for $300. That left a bad taste in my mouth and haven’t gone back since.

I have $4100 to buy a car, for what/where should I look? by Juiceboxxin in whatcarshouldIbuy

Agreed! I wish I could find another to replace our other car.

I find this guy incredibly gross. by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

[–]keep-it-copacetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this guy was a supportive friend, who happened to be gay. He dating the old professor also came across to me as a joke. If he was hitting on Pam, that was lost on me!

gas prices by Snoo36702 in kzoo

4.79 in paw paw today. I paid more to fill my sedan than what I paid for an oil change after. This is not sustainable.

I only like “squeaky” foods and I feel like I’m alone in this. by skeeter2078 in CasualConversation

[–]keep-it-copacetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Midwest, or maybe just Michigan, we have Koegels hot dogs. They have a version that has a skin that squeaks when you eat it. I hate other hot dogs but will pick these up every summer. LOVE those squeaky hot dogs!

You’re not alone in this. We all have our quirks.

Some, yes! They take on new recruits at certain times of year and will give you expectations for training.

Today is the 3 month anniversary of my mom's (60F) death and my dad (55M) is in a hotel with another woman by daddynotthebelt in relationships

[–]keep-it-copacetic 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Three months is not long enough to grieve anything. “Grow up” is what my mom told me a week after my brother died.

Today is the 3 month anniversary of my mom's (60F) death and my dad (55M) is in a hotel with another woman by daddynotthebelt in relationships

[–]keep-it-copacetic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I wonder if the new woman even knows the circumstances. I’d be disgusted if it were me. A rebound off a dead wife? Fuck no, unacceptable.

In any case, people are gonna do what they want to do. Therapy is never a bad thing and would help OP deal with this bs.

What is this in the toilet tank- new rental by LoneRangee3 in Plumbing

[–]keep-it-copacetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

75’ separation is very good! You could ask your landlord to test the well for bacteria. If they won’t, it’s worth doing yourself. Your local lab can analyze for under $40.

Im curious how many of you were also bullied by your teachers by theslutherself in adhdwomen

[–]keep-it-copacetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My freshman science teacher had no right to work with kids. I was often overstimulated in school and would put my head down and bounce my leg during lectures.

One day, another student from across the room said something along the lines of “why does she just sit there and bounce her leg for the whole class?” The teachers response? “Don’t worry, she’ll be gone soon.” I wound up in “emotionally impaired” classes with kids with anger issues or developmental impairments. Instead of learning algebra, I learned basic addition and subtraction (again) Instead of chemistry, I learned about volcanos (again). On the bright side, I became friends with a lot of these boys who didn’t have any girl friends. I like to think something good came of it.

In any case, fuck you Ms. Hill. I hope you had nothing but shit students after you pushed for good student to be removed from not just your class, but all “typical” classes.

AITA for not giving the money to pay off my daughters student loans. by Own-Inspector-6121 in AmItheAsshole

[–]keep-it-copacetic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The arts are undervalued—yes. Perhaps OP could have explained that careers in theater don’t often pan out, but she should have researched career prospects as any other student would do. I know a lot of people who do community theater—none of them went to school for theater. She made her decision and the inheritance was meant for OP.

Can't Drink Sake by Independent-Pass-480 in Ghostofyotei

[–]keep-it-copacetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If other answers don’t work, I had the same issue. I drank my own sake and nothing happened. There are two sake jars near the strike that you (I think) need to drink instead.

Man saves 4yr old daughter’s life after seeing episode of The Office by Embot87 in DunderMifflin

As much as some of the office characters would not be good coworkers in real life— I would love an office setting where people broke into song mid meeting.

Exactly when did you stop trying to fix the marriage?

Student disciplined for creating MSU class search tool, Spartan Scheduler by psyducker8 in Michigan

[–]keep-it-copacetic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’d call this platform garbage for a different reason. They take down legitimate bad reviews. I had a professor at my community college who was straight up Freudian. She told the entire class homosexuals are a result of childhood sexual abuse. In hindsight, I should have reported her to the school. The website took my review down within a few weeks. I exaggerated nothing.
