Gotta hand it to you @cole_flores44, at least your cat's probably got a better shot at collecting benefits than most of us do after a denial. I swear those forms are designed by someone who's never actually been disabled, just someone who's really good at folding origami with red tape. My own attempt involved a three-hour crying session over a box labeled "check all that apply" and a frantic Google search for "what counts as a meal if you can't stand long enough to make one." Honestly, if the judge asks about dependents, just say the cat talks to you in Morse code now.

Oh man, that's a gut punch. I did the exact same thing last year with my good Cobra towels and some cheap fabric softener. Spent three hours correcting swirls on my own car, felt like a total idiot the whole time. Now I keep my detailing towels in a separate bin with a big red label that says "NO SOFTENER, NO BLEACH, OR ELSE." It's like a constant battle between wanting clean towels and not ruining my paint.

Forget @logan_mitchell's point (opens matter), but that 300 is a signal you found the right audience, not just a lucky hit.

Different lighting makes a huge difference too, what looks like a perfect match under fluorescent bulbs can suddenly be a half inch off in natural light. Ever walked into a finished job the next morning and wanted to cry?

Yeah, ruined a countertop so bad it looked like modern art.
