The wife and I have changed jobs the last couple years increasing our household income and 2023 is the first year where we're both in our new positions for the entire year. I expected to owe 2 - 3k over least year but somehow even with three kids we are short five figures?!! I'm beside myself...
While I'm sure most of you are already aware of this, Change Healthcare had a ransomware attack on their systems that process insurance and discount cards on the 2-21. As it just so happens my wife was trying to get a refill on her insulin (type 1) around that same date. With only our primary...
Many weeks ago now the wife got some new bookshelves and we put on the wall. Fast forward to today and she tells the the wall is leaking?! It seems she quite precisely picked a location that landed the screws in what appears to be a 3" drain from our 2nd floor bathroom(s) to the basement...
Just got a note from our daycare that they will be closing due to freezing rain tonight and tomorrow. I only see a little note about freezing rain tonight and nothing but warmer temps for the next 48 hours. Is this legit or are the media outlets using the weather to create a news story? I...
Letting the kids enjoy their last day of vacation at Kids Planet in Brownsburgh. They have the attached sign on the door all official looking but reference the trespassing statute. While I'm well aware that they can trespass someone for whatever they want are they allowed to try and conflate...
Tapcon style screws or the included bolts and inserts?
Hose reel holds 150' of half inch hose so it will put a fair amount of outward pull on the four screws. I can get three of the four into the mortar but the fourth will be in the brick.
Came with the house in 2012, replaced in 2021 with a 5 burner unit. I've done everything I can to clean it multiple times but the grime you can see was fused to the surfaces when we moved in 2018.
$100
Purchased in 2017, used for two kids. All padding has been removed and washed. I tried to get the belts loose but couldn't figure it out. They have a bit of the usual kid dirt on them. Mostly food and drool. :)
$100 takes it home
While Hello, PayPal Client is a dead giveaway, perhaps I should also let them know that if they are going to try to scam people they should remove the PayPal warning contradicting everything they just said to get your attention. :lmfao::ugh:
It looks like our tank WH is going to need replaced soon. 10years old. It is a powered vent unit so cost is going to be comparable to tankless units. Anyone knowledgeable on the current state of tankless vs tank? We do have hard water and a water softener already. It looks like the existing...

I'm guessing that's a screw up, but who knows.
They have developed a pattern of not collecting our neighborhood's trash on the scheduled day. This is further compounded by the fact that our scheduled day is Friday. This means that it will be Monday before they can be notified and Tuesday before they collect it. I've typically called them...

Has anyone substituted these for 12v applications? They claim to have a built in BMS to prevent over discharge but aren't as clear on charging, do they need 14.6v to charge them or will the BMS boost a 12 -13v charging voltage? I'm looking at the kids ride on toys and...
Our kids' bathroom has two switches (light and exhaust fan) + a GFI outlet with a nightlight in a three gang wall box. If the fan is switched on and then off quickly the GFI will trip. The fan still works after this so I know the fan is not on the load side of the GFI. I doubt I would have...
I have a verbal job offer and salary number. The job posting actually lists the maximum salary budgeted for the position. Knowing both pieces of info, how would you go about convincing the hiring manager to offer more? I have a number of ideas and certainly plan to highlight my expertise and...
