When using an extract when would I add it???? In case cheeto isn't home when it is finished and need to bottle by myself.

Time to degas, Ms. Cheeto?

Most of my non-malt based brews (ie wine, hard cider, hard lemonade, etc.) slow WAAAYY down after about 5 days unless I degas it every day. If it's in a bucket, just pop the lid and stir the crap out of it for 20 seconds or so (with a sanitized spoon, of course). Your yeast may be experiencing CO2 toxicity and are unable to work efficiently because of it.

That sounds alot like oxygenating an almost fermented brew. I would just leave it alone to do its own thing. There is only so much CO2 that can remain in suspension in a air locked carboy. Way less than the 2 atmospheres of pressurization that most carbonate with.
