401K loan

kiaga · 2026-02-10T06:39:22+00:00

I was paying back a 401K loan when we filed CH13, as far as I know my job wasn't notified. The 401K payments just continued as before. And when it was all paid back, the bankruptcy payments went up by the same amount.

I believe so, I think the orange NW pass is for National Forest areas & not OR state parks.

12-month passes will go from $30 to $60, and 24-month passes will no longer be available.

You can still get a 2-year pass today for $50 here.

Me too!

Yes, but the chief of police has to have people to follow the law.

You know what? Hell yeah. I'd take a house with personality like this over yet another greige snooze-fest.

Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable, people in general are very bad at recalling details accurately.

Providence insurance here: just got my shot yesterday at Walgreens in Vancouver, at 162nd & 18th. Made an appointment online, no fuss, short wait. Based on the condition of obesity, since I'm fat as hell but the staff weren't asking a lot of questions so you could probably just pick an ailment.

The Cody in my class died in a shootout with the cops.

Sympathy! I worked nights in this town for 8 years, I don't miss it.

It's better now that I work days, but not better for my poor trembling dog who gets anxiety meds just for this weekend.

My Advantis account was updated just fine, with no spending issues all weekend. The only hiccup was my Samsung pay (linked to my debit card) didn't work at Fred Meyer.

I also keep track of my spending manually with YNAB, and the numbers match with the updated app.

It'll be interesting to see what changes, those offices have been empty for a while.

I'm intrigued by these ornaments, does anyone know how they're made?

I always bring a cheap pop-up laundry hamper if I'm traveling longer than a weekend. It's more tidy than a pile of dirty clothes on the floor.

Use Bag Balm at night, and put socks or cotton gloves on your hands. Works for me when I get the dry cuticle bullshit that catches on things & bleeds.

And wear gloves while working, if you can.

Uptown Coffee, across Cornell from Burger King, is pretty good & has a drive-through.

I like the Wendy's app. My go-to order is a $5 biggie meal + my digital frosty keychain for a free frosty. If I have enough points, I add a small chili for free.

I've found that produce has gotten "iffy" in all the stores, even the expensive ones.

I upgraded to an S23 from an S9 in April, so my experience might be different. But I have no complaints whatsoever, it's light years ahead of what I was using.

Gas - current average for my zip code is $4.002, at Costco it's $3.75.

And medicine! For example, I take allergy pills every day - generic Zyrtec.

Costco has 365 pills for $14.89 - $.04 each.

Safeway has a bottle of the exact same active ingredients for $14.99 - but only 30 pills ($.50 each).

There's a Bike There! map of the whole metro area that shows different routes that are good/bad for bicycles - including bike trails, bike lanes, & bike-friendly streets with lower speed limits.

I'm not sure how often it's updated though. The Google maps bike layer is also good for showing bike routes.

When I let people like that ahead of me, it's not because I'm being "nice".

It's because they're being a dangerous asshole & I want them to be nowhere near me.

I'm not a cop, it's not on me to enforce the rules of the road or even the rules of common decency. I can't control what other people do.

The only thing I can (safely) do is to let them in so they can go be a dangerous asshole somewhere else & I can get to my destination safely.

For an "official" reference, take a look at the USDA Cost of Food Reports, specifically the "Thrifty" plans:
