    Recommend me a quality home printer.

    We are moderate printer users, and we're really happy with our Brother inkjet. Replacement cartridges are a little over $1 each via ebay

    Poll: How Many Scam Cold Calls Do You Get Per Day?

    I never get robocalls, since my phone only rings if it's from someone on my contacts list. All other calls go to voicemail, and robocallers very rarely leave a voice mail. The only hassle is I need to add new contacts if I want to allow someone to call. I find that businesses leave messages...

    Ever have a BTD moment you weren't sure you could even do?

    One thing I learned from living in your area- don't assume you can plant a tree or shrub wherever you like. All those live oak trees there have found a crack between limestone slabs to get their roots to water. Once I even used a jackhammer to plant a tree, but ended up with a shallow pan...

    Bank is refusing to remove PMI on 78% LTV mortgage without a home inspection

    This reminds me of several decades ago, when my mortgage holder gave me the runaround about removing PMI. I had paid for an appraisal, then they refused to accept the appraisal, because it wasn't from "their" appraiser. I ended filing a complaint with the Comptroller of the Currency, who...

    I was on Flomax for some years, then it slowly stopped working and had negative side effects. I switched to Tadalfil years ago, and it works very well. FWIW.

    I've got Covid.... The thread for your covid experiences

    Just tested positive today. First time with covid for either of us. I've had multiple vaccinations, but none recently. DW tested positive a few days ago. She was immunized a month ago, FWIW. Dr prescribed paxlovid for me, so I'll start that now. So far it's been mild cold-like symptoms...

    So disappointed with my Honda experience

    You are correct- I did some searching for 2017 crv fuel injector problems, and indeed Honda had major design/manufacturing issues with that model. Some are covered under extended warranty, or partially covered. Maybe contact Honda North America to see if they will help...

    So disappointed with my Honda experience

    Here's my take, as an old shade tree mechanic- Don't let the shop do any work unless they can show how they diagnosed the fuel injectors as all failing. Injectors don't all just fail at once. A single injector that fails will make the engine run rough, and probably will throw a code. In...

    Adblockers not allowed on utube

    It seems adblock for youtube is playing cat and mouse with youtube- sometimes it works and sometimes not. When it doesn't, I just copy the link to the duckplayer. I haven't had any youtube warnings on that.

    Need Crown For Tooth

    Here's my crown story. Many years ago, my dentist told me I needed 5(!) crowns. I never had a crown up till then, and being fairly naive, and trusting the medical professional, I told him to submit the xrays to my insurance. My insurance approved 2 of the crowns, indicating the other 3 were...
