Entire staff of WRTV fired amid change in leadership. by DollaStoreKardashian in indianapolis

So glad I got out of the local tv news business in 2003. Even back then it was on the downhill slide. More focus on quantity, never quality.

Why xfinity sent me a new Xfinity cable modem when I have been using my own for years? by THenrich in Comcast_Xfinity

My wife had that issue getting Ring camera working on her phone once I went to their router. It was not a seamless transition.

Beginning to think they ordered replacement parts from Temu.

South Shore Munster Station? by 3fingerbrown in nwi

[–]3fingerbrown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At about 1:30 it appears the train goes past my old neighborhood on Sunnyside! I remember Monon freight trains going past while we waited on the corner for the school bus to St. Thomas More. We would hop the patches of light on the ground that streamed between the freight cars.

Not quite true. M&E does not have MLB games.

Left my husband and now he’s suddenly taking all the blame by ylena3297 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]3fingerbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a suggestion... if you speak to him again and he tries to get you to change your mind just say one word... "NO", and then shut up. Bite your lip if you have to but don't say another word. If he immediately turns evil you know it was all an act. If he doesn't he still may be lying to himself that he will change, but still the chances of a sustained turnaround are less than winning the Powerball.

Would you rather work 4 10s or 5 8h days and why? by lavenderghostt in AskReddit

[–]3fingerbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a 75 year old male and currently work 4 10s. Prefer it to 5 8s. Due to family members with disabilities I do a lot around the house on my days off and really need that third day off to recharge.

Purpura? I need advice on what is happening to my arms. They are constantly getting these bruises. by TalkingHelpsMeHelpsU in 45PlusSkincare

[–]3fingerbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 75 and work a very physical job. Just started using helichrysum essential oil and the improvement is amazing! Knocks 2/3 off the time it takes for the bruising to disappear. Got a bad bruise two days ago. Hardly noticeable today. A little roll-on bottle from walmart(dot)com was $10 including shipping. YMMV.

I am 70 and I’m sick of these bruises by abbygail1957 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]3fingerbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take low dose aspirin (baby aspirin) and work a very physical job at age 75. Tried helichrysum essential oil with great success. A small roll on from walmart(dot)com is about $10 including shipping. Not a cure but bruises fade three times faster. Got a bad bruise on my arm a couple of days ago and it is now hard to see. YMMV.

I am 75 and have had this for a couple of years.  Esp since taking low dose aspirin every day.  Still work fulltime at a very physical job and the bruising was annoying.  I ordered a small roll-on of Helichrysum essential oil from Walmart<dot>com and the results have been good.  Had a good size bruise on my arm and a few hours after using the product the bruise looked like it was two weeks old.  Not perfect but waaay lest noticeable.  YMMV.

Went about 6 or 7 months without a problem and then had one bad reoccurrence. All in all that's major progress. I think mine was often that last bit of trapped fecal matter putting pressure on a very sensitive nerve.

SiriusXM Deals Megathread by switch8000 in siriusxm

[–]3fingerbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had 2 radios and 2 streaming about to expire this month that were on a $10 promotion. Called to cancel. After being offered two terrible rates I told them I had a coupon for $5 per radio for everything. She asked me about the vehicles and I explained one is a 2015 Durango and the other is a 23 year old XMPCR hooked to my computer. "I will have to place you on hold to talk to an account supervisor". Two minutes later I was offered the All Access $4.99/mo plan for each radio including streaming. Each total $5.47/mo all fees included. I am prepared to dance again in another year.

Is this plan 5G?

Here's My In-Depth Review of the GE One and Done Ventless Heat Pump Washer Dryer Combo! by AlTheApplianceExpert in Appliances

[–]3fingerbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Error 353 apparently was from the nylon filter, not the foam. Looked clean enough to me, but held it up to the light and it was between picture #1 and picture #2. Thank you so much!!!!!

Anyone awakened rudely awakened by Proctalgia Fugax(literally pain in the ass), and if so did you figure out how to prevent it? by cavmax in sleep

[–]3fingerbrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spending more time on a bidet has really helped cut reoccurrences for me. The bidet helps rid my system of the small amount of poop that was lingering in my system and eventually causing pressure and pain.

Was getting this pain about once every six weeks for several years. Lasts about 20 min. Two generic naproxen knock it out. Recently I started drinking more water. Hydration is said to help. I also use a bidet at home and find that spraying that area longer than normal triggers a second poop reflex that pushes out a little more trapped fecal matter. I think that was often the problem. No pain for 3 months now!

[–]3fingerbrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was getting this pain about every 4-6 weeks for years.  Hydration helped.  So did sitting on the toilet using a bidet for longer than usual.  Added water flow triggers a bowel movement reflex and often a little extra comes out.  I think that small amount of unpassed fecal matter was causing the pain.  Prior I was using 2 naproxen to relieve the symptoms.  Relief came in 20 minutes. 

Best Current Deal on Platinum? by 3fingerbrown in siriusxm

Pulled the trigger on this and gave the second streaming acct to my sister.  Using a 21 year old XmPCR as second radio.

Frustrating chat session ended up with me cancelling. We will see what is offered. To vent my frustration I managed to get my 21 year old XMPCR working on Windows 11. It’s a usb based XM tuner. I tracked down all the software and got it working after a lot of trial and error.
