Re: With true unlimited data at AT&T and T-Mobile, any of you canceling your home ISP? - 1 year ago
Since there is no cell service from any carrier at my house, no. Well, take that back - we can get service from Canada in an exorbitant rate.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: condition....red?!....long lines for air conditioners in Seattle..... - 1 year ago
In today's Seattle paper - only 44% of homes in Seattle have AC - lowest of any major city. Summer temperatures just don't normally warrant AC - and out here on the Olympic Peninsula way less. All last summer the high at my house was 78. Today 89! But it should all be over tomorrow!by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Interesting update on suspected cause of Miami condo collapse - 1 year ago
This all flashes me back to watching the towers collapse on 9/11 - different cause, certainly, but so similar to view and the anguish of relatives of the missing.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: In the market for an iPad for college note taking. Which of these deals makes the most sense? - 1 year ago
Also, check on what deals the college campus store are offering - sometimes they are much better pricing than "civilian" outlets.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Costco moving in about two miles north of my house ... - 1 year ago
We love Costco - gas is always cheaper by 10 cents or more a gallon - sometimes way more. We buy dog food and treats for the huge hounds - lately canned cat food since other stores seem to be out of stock and the prices have literally doubled in the last few months. We have a vaccuum sealer and by meat and seal it in meal sized portions. Nuts are a great price - again if you use smaller quantitiby vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Dishwasher Woes - 1 year ago
One thing to consider is that a new model will be WAY more energy efficient than a 25 year old model.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: I may have a root canal in my future - 1 year ago
I have a front tooth that died when I was in college - about 30 years ago, it got a pocket of infection and I had a root canal done on it - the dentist was shocked when I told him that I didn't need novacaine. The tooth was DEAD - no anesthesia needed. About 20 years ago it started to be painful again and x-ray indicated a tiny pocket at the base, so again root canal - again surprised dentist wheby vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Rats! - 1 year ago
When we had a mouse outbreak, I got a large galvanized garbage can, put dried corn in the bottom, built a ramp out of a 2x4 and captured them - in the morning I put the lid on and drove them WAY out into the country to an abandoned property with a burned out house and let them go. I think today they have a religion based on the god who was displeased and cast them outby vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Rahm'd from behind?!.....golfer, Jon Rahm, forced to withdraw from Memorial Tournament, he was leading..... - 1 year ago
Not getting vaccinated potentially cost him a pretty penny. The winner of this week's Memorial Tournament will receive $1.674 million from the $9.3 million purse, the PGA Tour announced Monday.by vicrock - Tips and Deals

One easy and free thing to try if you have an external boot drive is to try booting from that - Might be as simple as a bad hard drive.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: New cat... - 1 year ago
One thing to do is to let them acclimate to scents - give them both a bed or towel to sleep on and then swap them out. If she is staying, vet visit with full testing is in order - as well as vaccines - check for a spay scar - this time of year if she isn't spayed, she might be pregnant!by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: store bought multigrain bread - 1 year ago
You might try a bread machine - I think you might be able to make your "normal" recipe and once the rising cycles are complete, pull and bake as usual. This could cut your time on your feet.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Guess I just need to talk, high probability of cancer - 1 year ago
Hard news to hear - harder to wait. While you do wait, research proton therapy - I know there is a center for it in Atlanta, as a neighbor went there to go thru it. I have known several men who went through this treatment, and are still alive and well - one over 20 years.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
New laptop? - 1 year ago
My better half needs a new laptop - MBP or Air? His computing needs are pretty basic - and we are able to shop at the military exchange - just got a 5% off coupon to use this week. What are the current thoughts on an Air or a MBP?by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Time for another credit card? - 1 year ago
2.9% "discount" is more than you would probably make on your savings. I'd go that way and be very precise about making "payments" every month to your savings account.by vicrock - Tips and Deals

Re: iPhone XS is paid off and unlocked... Time to move / try another carrier? - 1 year ago
Given your employee "bonus" I'd get a 12 and pass your current phone to your son. Asking around with your co-workers is a great idea. Personally, I always just buy an unlocked phone so I have options - especially since I (before covid) travel internationally.by vicrock - Tips and Deals

Re: Followup to Oral-B toothbrushes failing, what to get - 1 year ago
My hygenist has a strong preference for Sonicare - I got a set of 2 over 4 years ago and am still on the first one. Battery life is down some, I now have to recharge once a week. I have been replacing the heads quarterly. I still have the second one unused It was on sale at Costco for about $80, so works out WAY cheaper than the "disposable".by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Does a shingles vaccine while you have the disease help any? - 1 year ago
If you got the single shot previously, it is definitely advised that you get the new 2 shot series. Evidently the single has a 10 year efficacy limit - I actually got a mild case 9 years post shot. Mild case was bad enough. It is advised to wait 6 months post disease to get the new vaccine.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Just got my first COVID shot! - 1 year ago
Both Pfizer shots on board here - second was a week ago. Bit of sore arm (like a flu shot) with the first and second - about 20 hours after the second some body aches - took a couple of aspirin and was fine. Very grateful! Worth all the aggravation trying to schedule.by vicrock - Tips and Deals

Re: Transition Sprint to T-Mobile: Plan price up but bill goes down - 1 year ago
TM plan for $20? Is that price part of a multi phone package? I'm on prepaid TM - for $30 a month and would love to drop the price.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: Pay off my mortgage? - 1 year ago
Are you splitting your time between ATL and BHM? An option would be to rent out the ATL condo - and offset some of that income with the mortgage deduction.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
Re: hotel in downtown seattle? - 1 year ago
Seriously you'd be better served by staying in Bellevue - downtown Seattle is a pit - homeless, gangs, filth.by vicrock - Tips and Deals
