Re: Aruba restaurants
Places like Papiamento ,Wilhelmina, Wacky Wahoos, Yemanja, Azar, Passions, Madame Jeanettes it can be wise to look a month ahead, especially if booking Fri-Sat-Sun. If flexible, a few days before or even same day is possible. Look at their websites, some have online reservation systems showing date-time availability.

Re: Need information on clothes dryer lint screen
What's the length of the vent pipe, dryer to outside? Many bends? If long, it wouldn't surprise me if there is still a blockage in the vent midstream. Though the tech vacuumed, likely just a a foot or two in, and you see exhaust, it's still possible it's blocked. Remove the outside vent louver-cover. Take a leaf blower and insert the nozzle into the vent pipe from the inside. Start at low speed for about a minute. Look at the outside vent area for any debris. If none, return and up the speed on the blower, check again after a minute.
Using this method I've found birds nests and other interesting things being blown out.
