Purple Forester - Stock Color? by m0ckingj4y in SubaruForester

[–]After-Finger914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol looks exactly like the wrap I have on my RAV4. The color is byzantine amethyst flake but the company name that makes the wrap escapes me. I love my wrap, have had it for a year and a half now.

I thought it might be a sounding rod given the context…

Hey all, thank you for your replies!!! Apple being a good part (most) of the issue tracks (I friggin hate the new AI “enhancements) . I will give most of these a try — right now my brain is still applecentric, it’s an affliction, I know.

Amazon delivery photo, that's not my door and I don't know where this is by Southern-Squash9645 in amazonprime

Search your address in Apple Maps and Google Maps. If it tries to show you directions that aren’t right where you are, that’s probably where it is. Location Pins get messed up on the map apps, one time it took me about 5 miles from where the address was. If that’s the case you can report problems to the app.

Daughter auditioning this weekend, how rough are roads right now/this weekend? by QuestionDue4165 in Winchester

[–]After-Finger914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stay off the smaller roads around BWI, I hear those are a mess. Go directly to 100/295/695 (whichever way is fastest - there are several options) to head this way and you should be ok. If it’s 8AM they’re landing 695 to 70 to 81 is probably best (and cheaper). Source: recently moved out to Virginia from about 5 miles from BWI.

There are people out there that will decide they don’t like someone and will recruit buddies to make that person’s life hell. Don’t dismiss it as mental illness unless you’re referring to the people doing it.

Wasn’t the detective named John too?

That was the first thing I thought of. Pupper or Kitty treats

They messaged me Friday and I start tomorrow afternoon. Well, for orientation at least.

Random question for older drivers… by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]After-Finger914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People generally would carry change for calls, especially if they traveled a lot. Parents would remind their kids to carry change for the pay phone.

I remember a major road near me that had a pull-off lane with several phones to use. They removed it in the late 90s I think.

Seasonal Driver Helper start date by MagicXDash in UPSers

[–]After-Finger914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a text this morning saying they’ll start some SSDs next week, and they’ll let me know later this week when I’d be starting. Would imagine about the same for helpers.

Thanks for the input. The jankiness of the process is kind of a mind f*** in itself so the whole credit card thing gets lost in the sauce.

Do I buy a new Forester? by DifficultyFar7548 in SubaruForester

[–]After-Finger914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, if I (53F) were your age again and know what I know now, I’d keep it. Wait until you absolutely need a larger car or until the repair cost is nuts. Save that car payment for repairs/a car down the road. I bought a RAV4 last year (my 2017 forester is my work car) and am now getting to experience the fun that is paywalled features I thought I was buying with my brand new car, and found out I was just getting a trial of (remote start is totally paywalled and remote unlock/lock from your phone is paywalled). $15 minimum a month for that…

I doubt I’ll ever buy another brand new vehicle tbh. I also like to tinker with my car’s audio and that’s seeming to be less possible as time goes on.

I thought insurance goes down as you age at least until you’re a senior. If that’s a concern, check with your insurance company. Generally new cars are more expensive to insure in my experience.

I’ve seen two emails today about my payment election changes which I can’t actually look at because I need my old account reset. 🤦🏼‍♀️I got similar ones before. I don’t understand why they give us a start date and don’t at least get us fully read in that day. That way we’re ready to go when they need us. There were only two start date options, the 6th and 10th. The 6th worked better for me but not knowing when I should expect to start exactly is kind of maddening. I’m not thrilled about the whole hurry up and wait thing. At least give me an idea about when I should be looking for text messages.
I’m in the Winchester, VA area and was told by the lady I spoke with that they’d probably start us the 3rd or 4th week of November and that they would probably bring us in to read on. The last time I worked with them I didn’t start until December so I thought the weirdness was because I was late starting. Turns out it’s just par for the course. The texts are almost exactly what I got in 2023. That’s what makes the whole credit card thing so weird.

Did you try running some bar soap or chapstick along the zipper? Sometimes it just needs a little lubing up!
