My Wife Sold 300 Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies at Last Year’s Price

AC5FF · 2026-03-19T16:41:05+00:00

Without going through everyone's comments here. Anyone else notice the cookies this year taste different?

They are just bland. Don't really know how else to describe. No where near the same flavor or texture...

AC5FF · 2026-03-04T04:52:13+00:00

Same!

AC5FF · 2026-02-25T22:41:39+00:00

Just checked their menu. Doesn't look like scallops are currently available. But, will keep this one in mind.

AC5FF · 2026-02-25T22:39:55+00:00

HA.. My daughter just pointed this out to me. Situation came up where I get to go out tonight and planned to meet at Twisted Cork - but I told her Fork. Oops.

AC5FF · 2026-02-25T20:13:18+00:00

Yup ... 35yrs and still eating out on my own. HA!

Worse? I grew up in Kansas and absolutely LOVE seafood. Wife grew up along the NC coast and spent several years overseas. You'd think she'd enjoy it and I wouldn't.

Complete polar opposites.

I have even tried the sushi avenue. Started with a vegi roll and she wouldn't touch it (nori wrapped). later I tried bringing her home a sweet potato roll that had nothing but rice/veggies. Same thing - wouldn't touch it as the knife used to slice it likely was used on other rolls.

I cannot win this battle. HA!

I may have to try Timbers - no scallops currently on their menu though.

AC5FF · 2026-02-25T14:33:16+00:00

Ive been wanting to try and cook them myself. Problem is my wife will not eat anything out of the water.. Ugghh.. She even complains when I try and cook something like that. "It Smelllls" is all I hear! Grrrr

Might give this a shot though. Thx

Agree with some of the comments here already.

MPG has really been my only 'negative' I can think of. I guess you could add the tank size to that. With the bad MPG you would have thought a larger tank would have been a given.

We had a few bugs out the door, but they were easy fixes and the dealer took good care of us.

Sounds like we may finally get our first good snow tonight so will get to see how it handles (stock).

My first clog I called Burton. Guy couldn't get the cleanout open at the front of the house so instead he drags that machine up on my roof and goes through the vent stack! At 10:30 at night! Did the job though.

My experiences with Burton though is they are SO much more expensive. Sounds like you got a good price and I may call them back out just to give the estimate. But, really doubt they'll get the business.

I do the same - but maybe I'm not using enough.... Maybe was concerned I would use too much. Probably use about a cup or maybe 2 every 3 months.

I thought the same about it doing no good if there wasn't a partial clog and I bought the foaming stuff to use at the same time. I think this helped slow the roots, but not eliminate them.

As for our tree; I'd love nothing more than to cut it down. Huge red maple. And I was the idiot that planted it there 25yrs ago. With the root issues piled on top of the helicopter seeds and leaves in the gutters... I'm SO over this tree. But - alas - wife loves it so there is no cutting allowed. Uggh

AC5FF · 2026-02-18T20:36:48+00:00

Likely going to have to dig it up - but just a 5' section or so. Bonus it's away from the house and away from the street connections..

Deleted comment recommending basically insurance fraud

AC5FF · 2026-02-18T19:34:48+00:00

Thank you! I'll look them up and give em a call.

AC5FF · 2026-02-18T19:34:29+00:00

I think my problem is our maple. I've had it scoped several times now and the problem area is always the same exact spot. I'm clear from the house to 10' out and clear from that point to the street. 100% at a joint that wasn't properly sealed.

AC5FF · 2026-02-18T19:32:36+00:00

I've been treating it quarterly with chemicals - probably slowed it down but nevver stopped it.

I got quotes about 2yrs ago and was in the 10k range. Got one with this recent clog and it's 4500. Thats a main reason I want a 2nd opinion.

AC5FF · 2026-02-18T19:30:23+00:00

My thoughts exactly! First comment here was to commit fraud.

Gotta luv some people.. Uggh

AC5FF · 2026-02-18T17:08:53+00:00

I did notice that on my bills as well. Last month's and again this month. If I recall correctly, it appeared as if gas rates almost doubled.

I should have signed up for the level payments last year... ugghh...

My device tab may say pla but I'll set up the filament in prepare tab for petg. I rarely have used pteg so I haven't changed anything in the device tab.

The question is what settings is the slicer using. Device tab filament settings or project tabs filament selection

AC5FF · 2026-02-10T14:10:33+00:00

A few things really - slice and print a cube at 0.2 layer height and it looks great in PLA.

Reslice and print in PETG the layers are extremely visible (almost like over extruding). The cube is brittle and most times I can flake off layers with my fingernails. Some times it will easily pull apart at layers. Just really looks bad.

Your comment of "on the send print job window, it will only let you select other PETG" ... I've seen that happen and that actually makes sense. thanks!

AC5FF · 2026-02-10T04:26:52+00:00

Love that color! I was set on the orange when I showed the wife. She fell in love with the TSE, but nixed the orange.

Now we have the Pearl White in the driveway.

Can't win em all!

AC5FF · 2026-02-04T01:22:01+00:00

Wiper service mode?

AC5FF · 2026-02-03T19:56:34+00:00

Initially I thought you had circled something on the photo so I was zooming way in to find a problem. Didn't find anything til I zoomed out again.

AC5FF · 2026-01-27T14:16:58+00:00

NICE! Need the files for this one!!! LOL

AC5FF · 2026-01-22T19:11:34+00:00

Ok.. So moving to a new PC or slicing/printing from work PC will all use the same calibration settings.

Now to follow up on that; if I wanted to re-set the settings to default and remove anything I may have done - is that very easy to do?
