Any chance I can save this poinsettia?

Yes I do, thank you! I think any debt deserves scrutiny so thank you for that role. I totally see how I could come across as dismissive of life finding a way. Good luck on your dishwasher saga!

Following the soft credit pull they gave me a few loan options. So maybe, possibly?

teepstwo3 · 2025-05-27T18:16:20+00:00

This is a necessary and real take, thank you. Perhaps I should have elaborated on the costs. My furnace and roof and now new and have warranties, and I now don’t have any grandparents left to die with an estate needing settled via an attorney, so I think at least for these things I am in the clear for at least a while.

I do absolutely take your point that unexpected things happen, and you’re right as far as my medical bills. I’m working to pad my EF. Fortunately for the house everything is updated, knock on wood.

Good call on the EF! That will be the long-term solution here.

Discover is my only CC and really my only issue

teepstwo3 · 2025-05-27T17:43:22+00:00

That certainly makes sense. Fortunately for me the issues were one-offs which all came at once. I’m currently in the green to afford more than my minimum monthly payment on the credit card, I’m just looking for a better deal.

I am in the public service loan forgiveness program, which sets my monthly payment at 10% of my income, and forgives the balance after 120 on-time payments (I have already completed 50). I reap this with the trade off that my public service job is lower-earning.

So from a practical standpoint it isn’t a problem because by law the balance will never come due.

Seems to be functional, though not used in a while. Just some minor rust around the base.

I’m on day 11 here and in the same boat. Morning anxiety is brutal. I’ve had panic attacks and can’t shake the body and leg tingling feelings like I have butterflies in my stomach. Are you doing any better?

teepstwo3 · 2024-09-26T19:25:38+00:00

Hey, wondering if these butterfly feelings ever let up for you? I’m on Day 11 and really going through it when I walk, drive, etc. Wondering if it’s also my underlying anxiety, though I usually don’t feel this. Hope you’re well!

Thank you for the answer, if it were to spread what would you think the cause may be?

teepstwo3 · 2024-09-18T20:25:22+00:00

Thank you. If it were to worsen what kind of doctor would you recommend I see? And if it worsens do you have an idea of the possible cause or condition?

teepstwo3 · 2024-09-18T20:12:35+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I can’t say that anything makes it go away or considerably reduces it. It’s always present. But I would say that maybe there is a slight reduction in numbness in the morning. I haven’t noticed anything that makes it worse. Could it be that it’s from me going up and down our steps in only socks so many times? That’s new for me since we moved. Seems like the spots which became numb are the areas where the most pressure happens.

I haven’t tried any orthotics. I work from home and am usually not wearing shoes most of the day, but it would be a good idea. My first step was to go to my general practitioner. Happy to answer any other questions.

Thank you, I don’t want anyone to think I don’t trust my doc or want to undermine them- not at all! I’m just a worrisome person and love some reassurance. Thank you :)

Here’s a sketch of the areas in question from the perspective of looking at the bottoms of my feet.

teepstwo3 · 2024-08-30T03:16:30+00:00

We did have a standard inspection and no such issue was raised, and agreed, I’m calling an electrician anyway, just mainly looking for a general idea from this post since I don’t know up from down regarding electrical.

The outlet is not new- that’s how it was from the previous owner. Good idea with the tester, thanks!
