Just replaced the inlet valve on my Maytag bravos last weekend … 8 years old. Thought it was time to bite the bullet for the speed queen but that $25 Amazon part may buy me another year

You’re right in my opinion to go straight from the airline and not third party as if there is an itinerary change, you’re a little stuck trying to get a workable replacement (in my experience). $2500 seems a little steep for bumper season.

lol it’s in May! Not right now. We are on the Houston route on the way there, Chicago flight time worked better on the way home.

We travel internationally pretty regularly but I’ve never connected through Chicago, so I’m unsure what their passport control/ tsa time is like. We have 1 hour 40 min and global entry. It’s Turkish airlines to united….it was a 2 hour connection but flight was just adjusted. The airline didn’t prompt me to reschedule so I assume they think it’s still doable. The last two times we came home from abroad it was at Dulles and global entry didn’t help much time wise. It was a dumpster fire of epic proportion. What say you frequent fliers?

Low iron stores are also a cause. Not low blood counts necessarily but iron levels. Get your doc to check that as well.

Yes. That is the high season and what it cost. If you have flexibility, try the bumper season (may, sept)

It was very humbling post partum. I couldn’t get a normal arm swing either. Honestly didnt use it very much and would just get on a treadmill during naps.

Guy came out. Spring is def going bad. When we first moved in, we had a temporary door while ours came in (it was back ordered). Ours is wind rated and insulated, this guy has concerns that part of the issue is they didn’t change out the tracks when they changed the door to a more substantial track for the heavier door. (there is friction between some of the rollers on the track and isn’t staying in alignment well). I was not home when it was changed so I don’t know about changing out the tracks. Does this sound correct? Is there a way to know if it’s the correct tracks? Proposed solution would be to change the rollers from the current metal to nylon coated (I think that’s what he said) and the springs. I know next to nothing about this aside from what I’ve read online. Like I said before this house I have had no issues with garage doors on any previous houses. I am getting another opinion Friday and ideally the company that put it in will come back to assess but I will be honest I don’t have much faith in them from past experience. And neither does my contractor for that matter because they don’t use them anymore.

So I have sprayed it with garage door lube and it helps a bit for a day or so. Should I be having to lube the garage door every month or so? Are yall having to do that frequently? I’ve never had to lube a garage door before let alone every month or so.

We have the GE cafe classic and this is prob an unpopular opinion but as far as the fridge goes, my Samsung was better. The freezer has randomly lost screws over the years, it’s a PITA to keep closed. I second the advice of finding out where it’s made. We built a house during covid. There were definitely quality issues in the appliance realm and I have no idea if it’s been fixed or if that’s now status quo. Kitchen aid 6 burner range has been awesome.


TLDR: Bosch has fantastic reviews, may all be a crap shoot

Got a power wheels with a shocking amount of parts and instructions in mostly English but translated poorly. I will take this any day over the kitchen I put together last year… grossly underestimated that time frame.

Check the Chase insurance. It’s saved me a time or two. And they are very easy to work with (sapphire reserved)

Borax works pretty well to get smells out of laundry. Especially mildew. Good luck. That’s the worst because sometimes you don’t quite smell it until it gets damp again …. The worst.

Actually the one thing we laughed about but we’re also annoyed by was how many freaking commercials. It feels like the business model for these platforms is increase commercials until you pay more for less commercials. Before you know it streaming will be a certain price just for commercials. If you want to see a show that will cost ya.

Hopefully the truth will eventually come out.

It will be a wild ride regardless. The lot of the defendants are in deep. At this point, I can’t see a way out for them if the Read side has receipts as they make a lot of assertions in their court filings. I don’t see a world where the case gets dropped, so I guess I would have to imagine they bank on corrupt politics to not charge them criminally if new (or previously inadmissible) info comes to light. Also in the background is a brewing election for new Norfolk county DA. Will all be very interesting.

Employed and reimbursed are not the same. And it’s part of the problem. Medicare reimbursement has decreased $10/patient per visit over the last 10 years for example. Same for hospital reimbursement. So let’s jack up the price so we can get more back, and that ends up being passed off on those with private insurance. Maybe there is a way to set a price for each item… a reasonable price. An aspirin that cost $4 for a bottle of 60 shouldn’t be billed for $25 a pill. Like I said, as a capitalist I don’t like the idea of government meddling but it seems like something has to give here.
