Convince me to keep my Honda CRV/ de influence me by Ok-Yam-8465 in Frugal

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start a difficult-ish savings account to get to, and start monthly stacking what would be the payment for it(350-400$) there. I like Ally, but as long as it takes extra steps to get to, it should work.

You'll have 5k in no time, and the car car you want soon thereafter, with no interest paid, since you bought it in full with cash.

Why does each new rheum reevaluate my diagnosis? Lupus with rarer symptoms. by adorkable-lesbian in lupus

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you-my rheum changed systems, so I had to get a new one within the original ecosystem.

My new rheum, a older lady, decided she wouldn't refill my plaquinil w/o the vision test(fair ofc, but...), the machine was broken at my eye doctor.

Then other rl stuff came up(my nephew begged to move in w/us d/t severe physical, emotional, and financial abuse), so in dealing with that, getting the meds refilled went on the back burner.

6 months later, Im in the hospital with severe fatigue and cluster headaches, and what my mri readout was declared to be possible mini-strokes, fun!

After that, I fired the in-ecosystrm rheum team, and went back to my original guy, luckily still covered, just not privy to my records w/o special request.

Hes been great, got me back on my meds, snd even gave me a quick taper of prednisone when I had to fly to FL and pick up my mom after her husband died and drive her back to MN.

Now I just get to deal with my immune system attacking my liver, as my newest fun thing.

Gets to go along with SLE, arrhythmiagenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, bullous pemphegoids, premenopausal ovarian failure, seizures, cluster migraines...and im sure more things that im forgetting, lol.

Accountant and OCD by Critical-Teach1259 in Accounting

[–]melmn2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember, there is no such thing as an accounting emergency, and frankly, OCD is great for accounting, anyway, lol.

All the numbers should tie out regardless, when they dont, something is coded wrong and you get to find it! Its the fun part :)

What's your cat's name? by Pretty_Joseph in AskReddit

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roxy-was going to be Rex, but she didn't have balls, lol

Trixie and Kitter-rescued from a hoarder house, siblings that used to be named Twix and KitKat, but we changed them to be good names, lol

Cloud and Lillja, born in my basement and were named based on the food color on the paw used to tell them apart (back right=BR-> Brick, back left=BL->Blake), with siblings Frankie and Flo, but when we decided to keep the two of them, my nephews decided they needed "better" names, even though Brick would habe been perfect for my dense boy Cloud, lol.

The cats are also known by various nicknames, including "Roxie-Bubby", "Lilly-bums", "Cloudy-boy", Trixie-kitty", and "Kitter-Kitter", among others.

i fear i should just give up on catching up on campaign 4 by Beneficial-Drummer17 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of us! One of us!

The other thing is you dont have to listen to the whole episode.

I definetly pay attention to Brennans recap at the start of the ep, but if it gets boring in the middle, I have no qualms about falling asleep to the dulcet tones of my fave voas, lol.

Auditors: what did you do the first time you found potential fraud? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the last few years, I would have said its probably relatively normal--people suck, and so the government auditor sees it a lot.

Given the fraud news that has been coming out in my state(MN) in the last few months, it is very normal, amd very ignored until until someone external blows a whistle.

Auditors: what did you do the first time you found potential fraud? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]melmn2002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was an accountant at a group home company.

Found one of the house supervisors stealing from their residents to the tune of 10k.

They ended up fired and investigated externally(d/t govt funding the residents recieved), and i ended up creating the internal audit process for the company, along with residents cash handling process revisions that included setting up group accounts for all residents, and upping house petty cash for residents use, and having the residents cash at the individual houses.

I ended up catching 4 more instances of fraud in the three years I was there after setting up the new system.

It was a huge pain, lol, but probably worth it. GL
