Chemicals

First hot tub have had for about a month. Went to the pool store and there telling me I need 100 different chemicals. Here’s what I have right now, alkaline, bromine tablets for floater, muriatic acid, and pool shock chlorine. Is this all I need before I start adding water? Any suggestions?

Good morning everyone just had a quick question and I appreciate everyone’s help a ton in advance,

I’m 25 years old and i have managed to save a good chunk of change. I’m currently a woodworker and build/refinish custom furniture for a small company out of Maryland. I’ve been thinking of hotshotting for the past 5 years and I’m about ready to pull the trigger on a new truck and trailer. I just got my class a cdl. I started thinking about it when I talked to the uship shippers who ship our furniture and they always have told me there bringing in 5-8k a week. I then researched and thought of hotshotting because 1- I don’t like dealing with customers and 2- I heard you need reviews and all that shit doing uship. I also have my first baby boy due here in 3 weeks so I’d like to make some more money.

My question would be 1- is there somewhere I can go to even know where to start? What loads to bid on? What apps to use? Say it’s my first day, I have all my paperwork, my truck, my trailer, where do I even know how to get loads?

Also, I’m looking at new trucks right now (slightly used just to get that discount) but right now I’m looking at the 2024-2025 ram 3500s with the high output and aisin, is this what yall would go with?

And lastly, is it possible to maybe find a mentor? Or someone that could help me out without having to go work for someone else? I don’t mind working for someone else but my pay would be worse than what I make now and I wouldn’t want to do that for an entire year

I’m 25 and my first baby boy is due here in 3 weeks. This past week something has hit me and I’ve had a ton of depression and just anxiety I guess. Up until now I’ve gone out every weekend, drank, hit the casino, and just been doing whatever the hell i wanted to with my friends. Reality is setting in and I just want to know if I’m normal or fucked.

I pay all my bills and I have a good career but my shit is more so I’m feeling like my life is just over but on a deeper level then just not being able to drink any more. I’ve had some weird thoughts the past week just how life is flying by and some weird thoughts about the meaning of everything in life. I know that sounds weird but is that normal at all. I’m not sure maybe I need to go to church or something. This whole thing is stressful as shit
