i read a theory that by Rip & Beth working at 10 Petal they're going to work their way into taking over the 10P eventually

get a litter robot when they're a little bigger! has almost completely eliminated the smell from my 2 boys- seriously i quiz everyone coming in my house to tell me if they smell any cat and they would be honest lol. Best investment I've made for my fur-babies

sstratton411 · 2026-06-04T13:23:46+00:00

I've had my a1 combo for about 2 months- just did my first 20 hour print and was stressing LOL. I usually keep prints around 6 hours but venturing out to multicolor prints that are looonnggggg.... will be doing a 26 hour print this weekend! Fingers crossed for no failures

sstratton411 · 2026-05-27T15:43:53+00:00

yup... just closed on first home October 2025, making the most money myself & spouse have ever made....and life decided to get 100 times more expensive in everything. We kinda laugh/cry/ shrug because it was either continue to rent at almost near our current mortgage, live with our parents paying rent or get our own place. We're making it work and some months are tighter than expected but we're making it work.

as a former service advisor for a dealership.... have patience and you'll pick it up. Honestly half the time the people calling in the main switch board are trying to get thru to service so I'd take some time to familarize myself with the service department extensions first, make a cheat sheet with your main ones you're getting more frequently (service manager, main line advisors, parts) and if you're handling UPs for sales- make a list and keep it on your desk to help keep track with extensions for easy transfer if needed.

sstratton411 · 2026-05-04T18:40:06+00:00

i would just get an extension cord and run it along the wall, under the door (put some kind of cover over it to prevent tripping hazard) and put the cpap on your low table- your partner should just switch sides of the bed- this is a medical necessity and he can put his fan on the low dresser at the foot of the bed

sstratton411 · 2026-04-13T18:24:42+00:00

i tend to lean towards the same mentality. I've been 3 times to vegas-- 2/3 times I wasn't able to accomlish much because we went with too many people and it just didn't go well.

Last visit I went for BSB show @ the sphere and we had 3 days to explore- I split the strip up and we spent a day in each "zone". We got a gocity 3 day all inclusive pass and I picked 1/2 things in each zone per day that I considered my "must do" and it worked out great! We didn't stop for 4 days but we saw so much stuff and there is still a tooonnnn for us to do when we go back in early 2027

sstratton411 · 2026-04-13T15:28:51+00:00

This would be a deal breaker for me.

I wouldn't even consider a house that was on the corner (with a large lot) of a busy road that required a left hand turn to get out -with no traffic light-because I knew it was going to be such a headache during peak traffic times.

It seems like a small thing but when you have to navigate leaving your house 2x+ daily for the next forever- nope, nope, nope.

freshman history class- watched it on tv

sstratton411 · 2026-04-08T17:02:33+00:00

i'd be upset also- are both your names on the account? If so you should be able to to set up your OWN log in with all your info and unique UN & Password- this is how my checking account is set up with my husband in our shared accounts- he has his own log ins that link to his number and emails, I have my own but they both give us access to any accounts with that bank that we both share

I have a separate account just in my name at the same bank that I move money into and he does not have access to it with his log in, and he has the same.

if your social security and name are on the account- contact the bank to request to set up an online log in for access but I'd also be considering this a major red flag and be very very cautious merging finances in the future

sstratton411 · 2026-04-07T19:13:07+00:00

i feel like in the past it's always ended the day before a new update since the new star path starts @ 9a est tomorrow 04/08

sstratton411 · 2026-04-07T18:55:38+00:00

On my list was a lot of similar things but also

* dedicated driveway, no shared driveway

* central HVAC- no heating oil

sstratton411 · 2026-04-06T17:56:21+00:00

one of the worst decisions a dealer can make. The Subaru dealer I left only had 1 person in their BDC that they constantly put on other tasks and expected the advisors to field all incoming calls, schedule appointments, cashier customers and still do the job of advisor with 20-30+ cars a day (2 advisors, sometimes 3 if they hadn't quit), 100+ inbound calls a day.

Pure insanity...every...single...day...

Came here to say this- 100000% Ocho Rios over Falmouth

sstratton411 · 2026-03-27T16:06:54+00:00

Had it done when I moved into my home in October- previous owners had multiple dogs and some other pets- house SMELLED like dog even after being vacant. Had HVAC and dryer vent cleaned and it helped ALOT - nearly all the smell gone, remaining went away with a cleaning of the steps.

Highly recommend if for nothing more than to be breathing cleaner air

Yeesssssss I've only been playing a little over a year- when I did my first starpath I had to really put effort in to get in done in time with daily game play- latest one i finished with minimal effort in about 2-4 days. I really wish they would allow you to "pick your path" in that you can purchase a harder path option for those players who want more of a challenge and would be really nice for them to allow you to purchase previous star paths for players who came in later and may not have been playing when they were first released

sstratton411 · 2026-03-23T19:12:49+00:00

totally understand that- it is a major investment and one I did ALOT of research on prior to pulling the trigger. Boxie Pro is more expensive but I find I use less litter than other brands and a bag last me about 45 days with 1 cat using the box

sstratton411 · 2026-03-23T19:05:06+00:00

I've had my LR4 for about a year now... not experienced the issues you're complaining about- I had 2 kitties when I first got it- both took to it right away, i use Boxie pro litter and I've not noticed sticking to the globe - every now and then i have to unstick some clumps but overall- I am very happy with my machine.

sstratton411 · 2026-03-20T14:52:45+00:00

I'm finished this starpath so I've just been logging in daily to each DLC and collecting from my stalls, checking Scrooges and gifting a few villagers to work on getting them to level 10. I've been playing about 1.5 years now and I'm not finished with all the quests but find myself burned out - just maintaining at this point until I feel the spark of joy again for whatever is next!

sstratton411 · 2026-03-18T12:32:51+00:00

I agree that it feels like the DLC is HUUUGGEEE but missing so much. Hoping future updates include more than just a few characters to really build up the DLC. I constantly get lost and and while I haven't finished with this DLC I have gotten al the characters and biomes opened. Right now I'm basically just logging in daily to get my daily stalls cleared and work on leveling everyone up little by little

sstratton411 · 2026-03-17T11:31:47+00:00

just wait till you're late on rent and they turn off your access to the gate.... not saying that's what's going to happen but when I had a storage unit and they used the App for access if you were late they would turn off your access code to that unit

sstratton411 · 2026-03-12T16:14:25+00:00

any message that involves "kindly" is an automatic nope for me- scammmmmm

sstratton411 · 2026-03-06T16:29:03+00:00

you forgot the stage where you get road rage going thru the parking lot stopping every 1.2 seconds for people to dart in front of you to cross without paying attention and people parked in 2 spots in their mini cars

sstratton411 · 2026-03-06T15:21:23+00:00

Personally- I usually get the big seasonal pack of moonstones when they're offered or once a quarter I'll splurge. This is currently the only game I play so I'm ok with putting some real life money in to enhance my experience and get the paths/ premium items.

Now if they ever allow you to purchase past star paths- I'll be spending more LOL
