SporkPlug

I have a 7 year old lab mix named Leeloo and we live in a relatively busy neighborhood. Whenever a neighbor closes a car door or if she hears people talking outside, or hears anything that could be people, she starts alarm barking which can get pretty annoying. But, apparently this annoying alarm barking is only for me? I live with my husband and a friend of ours, my husband said that whenever I'm out or travelling she's fine. We went out of town over the weekend and the friend looked after her and said she didn't make a peep all weekend even though there was plenty of noise outside.

For some additional context, we've had her since she was a year old but for most of her life we lived in

This is my third playthrough so it's not like I don't know how, but I started a fresh playthrough when I got my XBOX Series X so I can get my heart broken in 4K and now hitting B doesn't break the grapple. The little B button icon in the bottom right corner of the screen lights up when I press B but the grapple never breaks and Arthur ends up dying. I've tried this with two different controllers and it's the same for both, no matter how much or how little I tap B the grapple never breaks and Arthur dies. I've just been using "Skip Checkpoint" to get past it but it's really annoying.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Or knows of a workaround?

I'm playing through DAI on Xbox One, romancing Cullen. I just finished Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts and I'm back at Skyhold and I can't find him. I've played through 2 other times so I know that this should probably be the point where there's a random soldier in his room and he's with Cassandra in the armory. One thing that might have screwed me is that I accidentally triggered Sera's prank quest a while back before I wanted to so I quit the game and restarted it.

Now Cullen's missing, there's no soldier to tell me to look for him in the armory, Sera's prank quest won't trigger, and my oldest save is from right when got back to Skyhold. I've tried leaving Skyhold and coming back and that didn'

I really like the CT200h and there are a couple of 2012's at a dealer near me but they both have relatively high miles. The one I like has almost 78,000.

Normally that kind of miles on a Lexus wouldn't bother me, but I'm concerned about the battery. Should I be? Are there any issues with buying a hybrid with that kind of miles on it?

I should add that I'm getting a pre-purchase inspection at a shop I trust before I buy anything and the service records for this car look pretty good.

I'm looking to buy a new car in a few months and I'd like to trade in my current car. It's a 2010 VW Jetta S with ~156,000 miles on it, and it needs a new hood (a metal pipe slammed into the hood on the highway several years ago and left a giant dent, and I was told that it would probably have to be replaced). My question is, would this torpedo my trade-in value? Should I get this fixed before I trade it in? Is this something that would be cheaper for the dealership to fix than it would be for me to get fixed?

It's in great condition otherwise, it's fully paid off and I've been on top of maintenance so it still drives like the day I got it.

I make and sell candles and I've done really well at some local craft shows, but nothing through Etsy quite yet. That changed today! I'm so excited!

I'm working on adding more products and getting more photos up, that sale was the little boost I needed to keep at it.

Is there a way to process an order through Etsy and just not ship it?

I have friends and people that I know locally that would like to buy my products and I'd like to funnel those sales through Etsy so I can some sales on there. I know I can create a coupon for free shipping, I just don't want to also have to pay to create a shipping label that I won't use.

My boyfriend and I have plans to get married and buy a house, we just don't know what order would be best to do it in. We've heard that it's easier to get a mortgage if you're married? Which makes us think we should get married first, not to mention the fact that his parents said we would be getting a cash gift from them if we got married. But, weddings cost money, even the tiny one we want (court house wedding, dinner with close friends and family after), and we'd rather spend that money on a house.

We don't plan on starting the home-buying process for another year and a half, we're just trying to get our shit together financially and figure out the best way to do this.

I paid off my car recently and I've been struggling with whether to keep it or trade it in while it's still worth something. I need opinions.

For some background, it's a 2010 VW Jetta with 142,000 miles on it. According to KBB it's worth about $2,500, but I've never had it appraised. Aside from some cosmetic issues, it's in good shape, I've kept up on maintenance and it runs like the day I bought it. I'm afraid that because it has so many miles on it, that it's only a matter of time before some insane repair comes up that makes me have to decide whether or not it's worth fixing.

I'm also trying to get out of debt and don't really have much savings right now. My car payments are going to st
