If you can, pull the agitator off to fully clean under it. Run it through a couple of cycles while it's empty. This is to clear out the rest of material that will still be inside between the outer and inner tubs.

Local to your area? Why not reach out to a social service agency and ask if they can facilitate. Anonymous donations are routinely dealt with.

NORC is one of the few that I would have any issues with.

My second choice would be to pay the $5 per month donation to PBS that grants you access to PBS Passport. You can stream the news and a lot of other shows for free.

No. It's not free, you're paying $5/mo........but well worth it!

Used Prius or Corollas are hard to beat.

Most majors and many local stations have live news, including the evening news, available on their websites, free. And look at ROKU, these and more like Skynews (UK), are available.

Call BA and talk to a agent

I'm sure there are better ways but I have about 75gb worth of music that I've loaded onto my home computer/media center, a tablet and a cell phone and play these local files through VLC or YouTube music. Creating some playlists makes it easier, though I have no trouble search for individual songs,albums or artists. No streaming or data used.

Mix well and form 4-5 patties. Use thumb to make indent in center of patty (prevents bulging in center while it cooks). Grill on medium high heat. Add cheddar cheese to top when patties are close to being done. Broil brioche hamburger buns in oven.

Almost exactly how we make them. The one addition, BACON!

We're in a low crime suburban area too and have never seen the need for them. In many/most communities burglar alarms are a low priority response for the police and if you're off traveling, what are you going to do anyway? A fire alarm may have some merit, but the battery operated ones work just fine too for when your at home. Our only "security" item is a couple of Alexa Shows that we will drop in occasionally while we're away and "Yep, the house is still there..." is the usual refrain when we look. . TBH, When we're away, our neighbors are aware and have our number should anything serious happen.

Asked ad nauseam here in many variations.

...? 1) For god knows what reason, a lot of the "Needs Review" sections don't clear out after you go through them. For example, I had a negligible amount of 1099-NEC income (< $1,000). The self-employment income and expenses continues to flag as Needs Review. I assume this is just because its trying to trick me into paying for premium to add business deductions I don't have but I'm new enough at this that things saying they "need review" bother me. Can anyone confirm? ....... Needs review generally means there is a error, mismatch, forgotten entry/check mark, etc..in your entry. Double checking and sometimes looking at the Forms View has normally helped resolving these errors for me. FWIW, I doubt the are any tricks bei...

Any reason the scripts couldn't be consolidated to one pharmacy? It sure would make tracking, refills and life easier for all.

USPS Priority that provides a tracking number. Turnaround time approx 4 weeks. Ymmv.

Rent a U-Haul truck that comes with a ramp.

+1 for the balance bikes. Our grandkids figured them out quickly, with the oldest just graduating to a pedal bike.

Weber. You may spend a few dollars more up front, but for something that will easily last 15-20 years it's a no brainer.

When I was working in local government, we had tower leases at several of our towns properties. These were usually for 10 years @ $2k-$3k/mo with annual increases of 2-5 percent, depending on location. If they colocated (shared tower with another service) the rent increased. Depending on the location we also asked for site improvements like upgrading the electrical, cable, ability to install our own antennas, etc which were rarely refused. Great deal for us in public safety and ultimately, for the taxpayers.

Attorney definitely needed.

That's because the compensation system is different

Exactly, the servers are paid a decent wage and have healthcare. Neither are guaranteed with a service job in the US.

As this thread relates to Starbucks, they provide a decent wage and have a benefits package that most other counter service type establishments do not.

+1. Limited seating but the charcuterie meat, cheese or combo boards, as well as sandwiches, are wonderful.

I imagine those jury rigged 2x4's/2x6's is to provide support to the rotted wood?

telecaster wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 7:36 am My best advice is to stay away from the touristy restaurants that are right next to attractions. Walk a little bit away off the beaten path. Look at the menus, if there is English and Italian on them then keep moving. Find places that have only Italian on their menu. The food will be better, and so will the prices. Ask locals where they go out to eat when it's time.

+1, get out of the tourist areas, which is true of many cities.

But what do they want? Have you discussed?

Think of driving a house down bumpy, sometimes unimproved roads being shaken. You're constantly tightening or reconnecting plumbing and electrical connections, sealing water leaks, etc....and that's just for the living area. Now add regular vehicle maintenance on a vehicle that may be driven low, but hard use miles. If one is handy and doesn't mind the time that may be involved it's great. If not, it can be a drag.

In my research for trips to various locations in Europe it's somewhat of a common problem with some cards. Its especially true when attempting to make purchases while in the US from merchants in Europe with rail lines, museums and Iberia mentioned. It seems to relate to the security protocols that are in or not in place, with 3D Secure mentioned.

However, the price has since jumped to $64.99, which is approaching double the launch price. YouTube TV will continue to raise their prices, before it's over they will be similarly priced to Comcast and Infinity,

YT prices are already there, as they just announced a price increase.

Keep in mind that 99.5 percent (+ or -) of all travelers have zero issues regarding security. The other .5 percent (+ or -) that make the news, blogs, internet, review sites, etc....sound the alarms. As always, use common sense and be aware of your surroundings.

When you went direct to Peabody's booking, did you select the "Unlock Private Offers" link for possible codes and their loyalty/marketing area? You might find a deal there, even last minute offers.

S C A M !!!! Move on to your next "too good to be true" offer.

In the summer, it will be inside the car for 4-5 hours with the car engine turned off. So it will be very hot in the car for 4-5 hours.

It's still not clear if you're trying to keep a 24 pack of beer cold in your trunk or a single cup of iced tea chilled in your cupholder.

Like 2-3 bottles of Gatorade or bottled water.

Freeze some or all the bottled waters overnight. Next morning throw them in a Igloo (or similar) cooler along with other water, Gatorade, juice, etc..... They'll be cold, even using cheap styrofoam coolers.. Been doing this for many years.

Are you working in the office setting? Or a contractor type of work? If it's an office setting, I'd use the fridge.

We don't have access to a fridge during that 4-5 hours.

The lack of a fridge has been established. What are you attempting to keep cool? Bottles of water, meats, medicine or ??? Each may require different methods.

We were there in September and did all the research regarding restaurants. In the end just followed our noses and instincts and found La Jacobine. Small and somewhat cramped with maybe 15-20 tables, not Michelin rated but it was probably the best meal we had while there. Reservations recommended.

It may be as simple as a vibration along the ductwork path that needs to be isolated. May be worth a look, as it's a easy job if you have access to the duct.

Duct cleaning is mentioned. Don't do it as it's rarely needed and is a scam in many areas.

Start with Google Flights to get a sense of pricing and flight availability. If flying economy, most major carriers are the same. Be aware the price you see may not be available later, so if you see a price you can live with, jump on it. Book directly with the airline!

Did you take pictures at the time showing the actual damage?

Ok....more info needed!!

We normally stay in Rosslyn or Friendship Heights, close to a Metro stop. Access to the major sites is fairly easy from either. Rates are a bit lower too.

I know when I was a kid and going to the old Chicago Stadium for the very first time, I was in awe when walking up the steps from the dark concourse and seeing the court all lit up for a Bulls game. I still remember it. Check the Pacers or the Gainbridge FH sites for any organized autograph sessions.
