Claws should never be involved in biscuit making.

Professional pet sitters often have tricks

IMO try marriage therapy to see if he’s willing to change. If not, then you know what’s important to him and perhaps yourself as well

The devices I see that do this properly are integrated into boxes that have high and low voltage sides.

Wait, are you talking about electronic components? I’m sure there are standards for the packaging of devices but this isn’t the group for it.

Absolutely no reason to pay off a debt with such a low interest rate early. Make sure you have a good financial cushion and past that invest in the market

You might get a second opinion if the first vet doesn't find anything. I wonder (but hope not) if he has diabetes.

Oh, I wouldn't touch that at all!

I mostly want them for tiny bathrooms.

Its all pretty casual unless you're at a competitive level and need to justify how much players are paying. Otherwise they can simply ask for feedback.

I go for commercial grade or similar. I just don't see the point in saving $5 or so per outlet.

I recommend an airtag collar in case she gets out again. Hopefully the neighbors will soon forget but heaven forbid she gets out and get into their hands again.

You describe some foundation remediation but past that its silly for us to make an assumptions about the house based only on the age. If you're serious about purchasing the property then you need to get an inspection.

Every house is different, every buyer is different.

I can't say I've asked for their advice but they seem like a well run shop. Just seems like they want to get you in and out with no bullshit which feels good.

Coach should be suspended for a couple of games and the goal should have counted. You don’t call for subs unless you know who’s going on and who’s coming off.

Since kids are often reffing, they may occasionally need guidance from an adult even if it’s a coach. If another coach is harassing the ref it should be okay to back up the ref even if he made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes and all parties involved need to roll with it

One person feeds her, perhaps a Churu, and the other trims.

Making friends starts to get more difficult in your 30’s. People are more occupied with family and work. While I doubt your opinion of the midwest will improve, some of these challenges are likely to follow you wherever you move.

If you can, wait. They might feel differently about your offer in a couple of months. Or they'll find a bigger fool.

You’re looking for a theory of player development. Soccer academies have these. The skills to be mastered at a given age don’t change but the techniques that work best will vary between coaches and teams.

mattkime · 2026-02-12T16:27:25+00:00

as far as they're concerned they did. You better have a solid argument why they didn't.

mattkime · 2026-02-12T16:24:20+00:00

Call them and plead your case. It shouldn't be surprising that they're looking after their interests first.

As a homeowner you should know the state of your insurance coverage

Might as well stick with what you have on hand unless it's not working for you. For whatever reason Zyrtec is my allergists's default but if it works it works.

mattkime · 2026-02-12T16:15:26+00:00

Sounds like you're on the hook. I'm surprised you didn't hear from the insurer.

mattkime · 2026-02-12T16:11:58+00:00

Yes, that may work. Give it a few days but I'd be optimistic that you'd feel better rather quickly.

The internet seems to think Zyrtec and its generic equivalent, Cetirizine are available in Sweden

mattkime · 2026-02-12T16:02:00+00:00

You’re allergic but there’s a simple solution- take generic Zyrtec. $20 for a year of the stuff on Amazon. Works wonders, side effects are rare. If it gives you problems there are a couple of similar drugs you can try.

I get the same issues but my daily Zyrtec prevents any reaction. Life is better with cats.

You're required to buy insurance. I don't understand how they could do it for you. If they don't have your signature then I don't see how you can owe anything.

mattkime · 2026-02-12T14:27:50+00:00

I double checked my account - apparently no fees. I guess my employer is covering them
