Re: Getting tooth pulled tomorrow- worth $75 for laughing gas? - 24 days ago

Re: How dangerous are black bears relative to brown/grizzly bears? - 29 days ago
If they become use to being around humans, they can be aggressive in their search for food. I know someone who lives in Corning NY. His wife came downstairs one morning to make coffee and found one in her kitchen. They had left the slider open overnight and the bear busted through the screen and was looking for breakfast. Fortunately, it was so occupied with its search, it didn't see her. It evenby cyclemax - Tips and Deals

Re: Windshield repair kit recommendations? - 2 months ago
Quotemsglee Put a piece of scotch tape over it to keep the dirt out, until you get it fixed. Excellent point. I bought a used car that had a chip repair right in my line of sight. Didn't notice it until I drove in direct sunlight. The dealers windshield guy said it probably had dirt in it when it was repaired, which made it more visible. Fortunately, my dealer agreed to install a new windshieby cyclemax - Tips and Deals
Re: Windshield repair kit recommendations? - 2 months ago
Did you check with your Insurance company? Most auto insurance policies will pay for your windshield chip repair and even waive the deductible. Last time I had one, called my agent and they sent Safelite to my house to make the repair. No charge.by cyclemax - Tips and Deals

Re: TV from Costco.com arrived slightly damaged. Can I exchange in store? - 3 months ago
According to Costco customer service, online purchases can be returned to any Costco warehouse. Costco Exchange may be different. You could always return it and buy it again.

Re: iPhone 14 glitch {already) - 6 months ago
The bug only occurs on the Pro and Pro Max camera within social media apps such as Snapchat and TikTok. Regular use through the Camera app appears to be fine. The 16.0.2 update is suppose to fix it. I don't use those apps so I can't confirm.by cyclemax - Tips and Deals

Re: *rant* Car insurance *rant* - 7 months ago
My insurance company has always said that I should file a claim with the at fault insurance agency. I can file a claim with my agency and they will pay for everything then try to collect from the at fault agency. I am responsible for any deductibles in this case until they can collect from the other company. My agent says it is usually a faster and smoother process to file directly with the at faby cyclemax - Tips and Deals

Re: Deshaun Watson suspended for 6 games - 7 months ago
QuoteOmbligo That's a bad joke. It includes three mean-nothing preseason games that he would have mostly sat out anyway, then games against Panthers, Jets, and Steelers. The suspension is for the first 6 regular season games. He can practice and play in the pre-season. He can not be with the team for the first 3 regular season games. He can return to practice in week 4.by cyclemax - Tips and Deals
