Yay! I have a phone appointment set for April 11th. I was hoping we could get it done today, but no such luck. I'm happy enough with this.

That is progress... now hopefully that office won't cancel half their appts as people get canned.

I thought I had posted this already, but I don't see it.
I found out even though I become eligible for my survivor benefits on June 12, I don't actually get my first payment until third Wednesday in July no matter how early I apply. So there's one more month to worry about than I thought.

Yes, payments are always made one month in arrears, unfortunately.

I have a tenant coming to view a room this afternoon and of course my vacuum breaks
But that's not the complaint. This is.
I loved this vacuum and I went to Amazon figuring the same model would be even less 5 years later.
NOPE!
April 14, 2020, I paid $329 for the Shark AZ1002 on Amazon.
Now it's $599 !!!!

Thank goodness I have a spare older model until I can get a newer one.

Probably. We do have a vacuum repair shop nearby.

Who knows? Maybe when you go there, they may have your vacuum there for sale, close to the price you originally bought it for. You never know...

Naja, Amazon must be scamming everybody or something. Maybe they're including tariffs in their prices already. It doesnt make sense. I put your model in Google and hit the shopping button. They're coming up between $250 to $350 on there at places like Best Buy and Walmart, etc.

RN Well, my neighbor had texted me a week or so ago that he would be trimming the trees hitting my house this weekend. It must have been a dream because as far as I can tell, the weekend is almost over and no one has trimmed any trees.

Yes, it's very hot once it gets to the afternoon, in the 90s. But until about 11 AM it's tolerable.

Well, I was wrong. He came by and cut one little branch and decided it was too big of a job for him. He texted he'll hire someone.
He thinks it's just the one little branch that bothers me? Jeez. I finally have had enough of being too nice and just sent this:
"I think I have to say this. Rocky, it looks so bad back there. It has since shortly after you moved across the street. People actually ask me if the house is abandoned when they see the back. It's just miserable coming outside and seeing it every day. I am so sorry for having to say this. ☹️"

It's so defeating to have neighbors who don't care for their yards. I am next to one too. He had someone come cut some branches for him and 6 months later the branches still lay there. I see him have "orkin" come out for pest control and I want to tell him that all the dead debris is a great breeding and housing place for mice and black widows!

Here is what he sent back:
"I'm sorry it looks the way it does. It's my daughter-in-law's responsibility and am trying to work with her to get it done. I think Andrew is going to hire someone to do it. "
----
Andrew is his son who is divorced from the slob in the house and he doesn't live there.

I halfway suspect hell will freeze over before Andrew cleans up the backyard next door.

True, but you probably want to go to the News and Views section of this message board to discuss further.

I'm not allowed to enter that thread any more and it's probably just as well.
I know it's devastating for someone to learn that someone they respected is not a good person but how do you help that person recover from that?

Oh, honey! ((((hugs))))
I skated pretty much up to that edge myself and managed not to teeter over by some strange miracle.
I am probably much older than you, but the short answer is you probably cannot rescue someone who is in a cult. The better answer is go join somewhere like bsky.app, and ask your questions there. My e-mail is in my profile if you need help on how to get started on Bluesky, which is where bsky.app will take you.

I am really tired of people thinking they can just drop off their smelly dirty dogs for me to babysit and think it's ok. I just had to give one a bath that arrived last night. His smell was burning my nose. He's a big dog and now my back is useless for the rest of the day.

How rude! I suggest your site states dogs must be clean upon arriving, if not an additional $25.00 bath fee will be added to the bill. Perhaps insist on cash for the bath be paid prior to the pet owner leaving.

She's a nice lady with four tiny kids. It's so hard for me to confront someone that I know has probably got no time in her life to give her dog a bath. But it is unfair. And I know with four tiny kids she's probably not a big tipper.

Naja, you have a kind heart. Run your business with your head. If she becomes a repeat customer, she may expect a free bath for the pouch each time. You also put you your physical health at risk. If she doesn't have time to bathe the dog, she can pay someone for the service.

RN I figured out it's definitely because the dog has ear infections. Very smelly ear infections. He goes home tomorrow and I told the woman he has to go to the vet. I wiped the ears out with ear wash, but the smell just comes back as strong in a few hours.

Have you thought about having some medical or cleanliness criteria for dog sitting to prevent this from happening? If you get a dog with ear infections or something else contagious, it could infect any other animals that you have in your care. That might make you liable for vet bills if other animals are infected from one under your care.

I check them out when they come for the meet and greet. But I guess a lot can happen between meeting them and the time of their stay.
Smelly dog just went home and she did leave a nice tip.
