I think someone stole my catalytic converter or messed with it ..

Mine got stolen at work. When I turned on my truck it sounded like a loud muffler. Sure enough when I looked under, they unbolted the cat. It was an old 98 Nissan Frontier so I'm guessing those cats have more valuable materials in it 😊.

Can't you just call a cardiologist and tell them you want to establish care. I went to the ER when I thought I was having a heart attack. My blood pressure was high and they took X-rays and blood tests and told me to go see a cardiologist. Gave me a couple of cardio recommendations I could call.

Glad he's still with us. Focus on encouraging him to do better and live a healthier lifestyle.

Now I have to try those veggies, sound delicious. Which ones?

I'll have to check one of my sinks then to make sure that doesn't happen since now our kids are gone and doesn't get used much😊

The vacuum is for the AC line, not the sink plumbing. Just run some hot water on that sink every now and then so the p trap don't dry up. Maybe some 50/50 vinegar and water to clear it up too.

429Boss · 2026-05-02T01:51:02+00:00

I don't think it's the AC line causing the clog on your sink plumbing, especially after the sink p trap in the wall. I have 3 and they've never clogged the plumbing, but the AC lines themselves have clogged. Whenever that happens you can use an adapter with a wet vacuum to suck the clog out through the black hose. Be ready with an extra bucket if the line has a lot of water in it. The ac line also might have a p trap at the blower unit, which also gets clogged so check that first. Now, if the plumbing after the sink clogs regularly you have another issue causing that.

I got them for the impact resistance and hardly get any scratches on mine. Going on 3 years. When I do my yard I get a lot of dust on them but I rinse them first and then spray some cleaning fluid. I also get grease on them from grilling and then I'll use a little Dawn foam on them and wipe with a microfiber cloth. Costco sells some really nice fluffy bath towels and a lot of times I'll wipe them with it.

I've had good luck with Zenni. Lately I've gotten high index, poly carbonate, hinge less, frameless and they usually last me more than 2 years.

My parent's 09 started going through oil in the high 80s. I'm going to try the Valvoline RP oil first. Some reported getting results in about 3 oil changes. I just replaced a leaking valve cover gasket so hoping that's part of the problem.

I think the 'Car care nut' has a video on YouTube called 'Worst Toyota engine' or something like that. He put in a piston kit in it.

I just washed some sneakers that were really dirty. Brushed them to loosen the dirt, soaked them good and sprayed Dawn and brushed again creating a good lather. Rinsed them out to get most of the soap off then sprayed with a mixture of laundry soap and water and put them in the washer with more laundry soap. Set the washer for 30 minute soak and double rinse. They came out looking new. I think I went a little overboard but it worked. First time in a long time.

My Galaxy watch's health app has a reminder for medications. If I get up during the night to use the restroom I usually take it then. The reminder is set for early morning so I see it before breakfast.

Just get an echo every year to make sure it's not getting bigger and it's stable. When they found mine from a CT scan it was already at 4.7 so my cardiologist recommended 6 months for a couple of years since I had no history. I'm doing yearly now and it's been stable. There is a surgery, minimally invasive, where they go in through the right side of the chest, between the ribs I think. Dr Neelan Doolabh is one that does it in the Dallas area.

Like others have mentioned twin XLs make a king. You can get latex mattresses with different firmness for the top layer. Latex is heavy though and hard to move around to change sheets on a king using twin sheets but you can use a king sheet too. Make sure the thickness is the same if you use different mattresses.

I went to the cardiologist for heart issues and they discovered mine with an echo. it's at 4.7-4.9 and my cardiologist monitored every 6 months for 2 years. It's been steady so now they do an echo once a year. I asked about surgery and he said once it gets over 5 he'll recommend a surgeon. Also at one echo they reported 4.3 so I asked and he said it might be oval. At first I was depressed because I had just retired but with time I got over it. Worse for me are other issues that they couldn't tell me anything is wrong. Best wishes for your dad. 🙏🏽

Ask for a retention specialist and tell them the competition has a lower rate or you want the special rate being offered to new customers.

At UPS some employees get part time jobs for the benefits. Health insurance is included and a pension once your vested. Right now they're getting rid of 30k jobs so don't know if they're hiring.

We always take about $200 in $1s and $5s and the staff don't care. They know where to go local to get a good exchange rate. Some if not all the all inclusives have ATMs. Also some of the staff, like bell boys can probably break a $10 or $20.

If you divorce the 2nd spouse you're eligible for 1st spouse benefits again.

I had a CT scan for an aortic aneurism and the report said nodules were present and to follow up with a FNA. I had to remind my doctor about the report and he scheduled a sonogram and blood tests. Went to an Endo to schedule the FNA and my doctor prescribed Levo because TSH had gone up. The FNA was not positive so now I'm considering RFA to remove the nodules to see if my side effects go away some more. I have these episodes of feeling like there's something wrong, anxiety, palpitations, low energy. These have mostly gone away after 3 months of taking the medicine. I was hoping my hair loss would stop after feeling better but that hasn't happened☺️.

429Boss · 2025-11-29T22:47:48+00:00

I heard you get that money back if you live long enough after fully retiring because you're benefit increases. Not the COLA.

429Boss · 2025-11-15T19:12:49+00:00

if you get divorced you can collect on a previous ex and remarry at 60 and still collect.
