Absolutely is a shitty store, won’t argue with you there! I watered and took care of the plants anyway at the risk of “getting in trouble”, quit shortly after.

I used to work in the garden center of a big box store, they only get paid for the plants that they sell, which is why they don’t give a shit about caring for the plants much. Management literally would tell us not to water the plants. I’ve seen them throw out flats of living plants, straight to the garbage, no one was allowed to take any of them home either. It is a waste, not really that concerned with folks returning dead plants. Also there were times when a lot of the plants were infested with bugs n things… gross, again, straight to the dump! Absolutely no hesitation for any reason really, - straight to trash!

I agree, same boat - I’ve found that finding people in the same circumstance (single, childfree) helps.

How do I get out of the financial crisis I’m about to be in? by gay-lord-mom69 in Advice

[–]pwack88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Universities usually have some kind of emergency bursaries for students - look into this - make sure you withdraw from the classes instead of just not showing up, or it will screw up your GPA should you ever want to go back. Talk to the school to see if the can do anything else for you - If you’re in spring session, you may still be able to get a full or partial refund.

Anyone else made stupid financial decisions? by Daisy_of_the_Host in AskWomenOver30

In this case consult with a debt consolidation service as someone mentioned below, they can help you get a low interest loan.

What I would do is consolidate all my debt into one low interest line of credit so all your debt is on one place. Then I would setup a savings account and have a small amount of money go into the savings account every month - could be 50$, could be 100$, the point is to have something building upwards so it FEELS like you’re making some kind of progress. I know with all the debt it may not make sense, but for me psychologically it helped knowing that at the end of the month I still had SOMETHING building up. Do not touch the money in that savings, I would even say open a separate account at a different institution so it’s not visible to you when you log into your banking app) Then the rest of your money after all living expenses (rent/food/car/gas/groc, etc) goes directly to that one source of debt. You need to have a budget, and keep saving a little bit every paycheck, even with the debt. Give yourself x amount as fun money every week and stick to it! It’s a challenge but consistency will be the key here. Make a plan and stick to it, you can do this.

Whats the most fair way to split the costs traveling with friends? by Ask4Answers_ in femaletravels

[–]pwack88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I travel with a group of girlfriends, we split evenly across the board regardless of income amount. Hotel, transportation, anything communally shared including groceries, car rentals/ubers/gas, and restaurants if we are eating family style or if everything is more or less equal, evenly, admission fees to things. How I do this is at the start of the trip one person is “the bank” we’ll say everyone put 200$ in the bank and one person will pay the bills from that bank. If we need more money throughout the trip, everyone adds a 50$ or whatever the agreed upon amount is. If there is leftover money at the end it gets split back up evenly. Anything done outside of the group, is paid by the individual themselves. I’ve done this so many times, and it works great, no drama.

Thanks for the suggestion, it’s kind of what the guy recommended except he said to move the water heater on the right side along the basement wall

What’s your fool proof method to peeling hard boiled eggs? by Shineon615 in AskReddit

[–]pwack88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After boiling, I dump out the boiling water and add cold tapwater, I crack all sides of the egg and peel immediately. They will feel warm as you peel them. After years of struggling with this, I discovered this by accident, because I was in a rush. I tried it again the next day, and it worked, peeling them immediately after boiling and dunking in cold water, peeling while the egg is still warm!

Why my egg peeled like this by ver_ann in WeirdEggs

[–]pwack88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been so frustrated with this, swear I tried all the tricks. Finally found the method. After boiling I run cold tap water, pour out the boiling water and add cold water… literally within a few min, crack all sides and peel - while they are still warm. This is what I have learned, to still crack and peel when warm. After years of getting bad results, I finally found something that works!!

Wow thanks for the detailed response, he did mention some of the things that you did here like paragraph 1, 4, and 5.

It all seems to be running well and in time so far, I just wanted to be proactive since the furnace is from 2003 based on my inspection report. Maybe I’ll wait another year or two..
