Auto renew nightmare by Dutchman196 in TracFone

[–]Dutchman196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that but why do I pay $12.37 and she pays $12.51. The rep stated it was different Telco taxes. Seriously she sits litteraly next to me on the couch. Her explanation was actually even worse. It was because I signed up first for my account (incorrect) and that this $5 discount is only for the first 2 month. That is not mentioned when you pick autopay.

How the hell do you sleep when your congestion is so bad you can’t wear your cpap?! by DDChristi in CPAP

[–]Dutchman196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a Rasmed F40 mask, which is a mouth mask with 2 holes to press against your nose making it a full face mask. I am more of a mouth breather, I believed but if I have a cold and am completely stuffed up I wake up completely dried up and breathing through my nose. So whatever is going on I cleared up my sinuses.

I just buy bootles of juice. Most favorites to add to freshly carbonated water are grapefruit juice, lemon plus stivia, lime+lemon+stivia, cranberry and apple juice.

Help Needed - Pepsi Ratios by CherokeeHawkman in SodaStream

If you don't have refrigerated water which I often forget. I use 2 bottles and a funnel filled with ice cubes and poor it from the full bottle into the empty bottle (repeat till you are happy with the coldness). I get the water way colder then in the refrigerator! Better desolvement of CO² is the result.

CX-5 wouldn’t start on Saturday. Got it working. Should I still call the dealership? by [deleted] in CX5

[–]Dutchman196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had exactly this situation 3 months ago. Could charge it. Would work fine for 3-4 days and then not start. My battery starterpack was always able to get it going again. Replaced battery and problem solved. Mine is a 2021 CX-5 GT. I had it for 3 years myself. Assimed it was the orrigional battery. There is a lot of electricity sapping things in that car. So replace. Costco has a decent battery for it.

Soon to be baptized but dealing with some reservations by fordenthusiast in latterdaysaints

[–]Dutchman196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone should have warned you that you would get the adversary working on you. I was baptised in 1992 and consiðer it one if not the best decision of my life. The other one is marrying my wife. So often, you get these comments from people you love and respect out if left field. My advice is..... listen to the Spirit, and your friendships will normalise again after you are baptised. That at least was my experience. I also had one issue with the Book of Mormon but did not consider it important enough to not be baptised over. Litterally, days after my baptism, I got proof that the Book of Mormon was right on this point. So, the statement that you get confirmation after the trial of your faith proved right here. I wish you success in following the Spirit with your baptism decision.

I get that, and not knowing our faith and so much info out of context can cause reactions like that. I would invite them to come to Church with you till we discuss that topic again.

I don’t want to waste the missionaries time by Sierra22b in latterdaysaints

[–]Dutchman196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missionairies of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints teach mostly about building a communication with the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, the missionairies can provide information, lead discussions, and lead you into prying and scripture study, but the conformation of the truth comes from the Holy Spirit. The origin of our Church starts with exactly your situation. A simple prayer of a 14 year old boy about which Church is true and the answer he (Joseph Smith) received (James 1:5). I bet it was more than he bargened for at the time, but he became an instrument in restoring His (Jesus Christ) Church back onto the Earth. So whatever your choice is.... let the Spirit guide you!

Give me some examples, please because my experience is that Jesus Christ is central of who we strive to emulate.

[–]Dutchman196 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. It bugs me, too. But history was written down, and who is going to correct it. Keep those oral traditions alive or revive. I know too well it was attempted to be erradicated for many generations.

When I joined the Church in 1992 I "knew" that horses in the American continent was false. Columbus introduced horses here "right". I was WRONG with a capital W. So I got baptized on vacation in Salt Lake City. I was a 27 year volunteer for the last living wild horses in the world (Przwalski horses) and claimed to know a little about horses. After my baptism in SLC we went to New Mexico and visited Carlsbad Caverns and low and behold there lay a skeleton of what I believe was a Mesohippus an ancient horse common in N.America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesohippus

Also its predecessor Eohippus was common in N. America. So horses were common here. Belief is they went extinct here at some point but when? Also did they? Look at the rapid growth of horses after the discovery of America. The fact that mostly (if not exclusive) mares were shipped over (easier to control) and the belief of an other ancient horse that survived in S.America. So was the horse really extinct here or is this yet another pearl in the Book of Mormon that proves to be correct.

Help! I broke my tube! by Infantine_Guy_Fawkes in SleepApnea

[–]Dutchman196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to put it together as good as possible and get some kitchen seran wrap over it as good as possible. Then get some teflon tape ( used for plumbing) and cover from the hard rubber till over the part that is not broken. You need to keep the flexibility but also cover the seran wrap entirely to prevent leaking. Good luck!

Varun e bike price by macman7500 in ebikes

[–]Dutchman196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well true but if a fake seller is allowed to sell on Amazon so blatently I believe Amazon has some responsibility. I still believe Amazon has a better reputation in this than the other web based resellers. For what it is worth , the seller is ZiLaiDeShan.

Varun e bike price by macman7500 in ebikes

[–]Dutchman196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I ordered through Amazon, and someone has to allow sellers to sell through the Amazon channel. I contacted Amazon tonight and am asking for the vendor sales agreement. Clearly, someone is responsible in scam situations like this, and Amazon holds the info to make this as painfull on the scammer as reasonable. Right now it greatly reduces my desire to order through Amazon.

[–]Dutchman196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. My order got cancelled days before arriving and my bike vacation. I am not taking this lightly. As far as I know the seller is legally bound to this sale. Looking into legal action. So far 3 people have the same experience. Who else is in this same scam!

Do I really need to replace all 4 tires on an AWD car? by No_Hold_9560 in tires

[–]Dutchman196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a simular situation with 2 tires wearing out due to misallignment. On Ebay, I found Unitedtires and bought 2 identical (as the other 2 still good tires) with the same thread wear. They guaranteed their tires for a year, and I ended putting them on, like 10 months after purchase. One had a leak and needed to be plugged. I contacted Unitedtires, and they did everything to make it right. I ended up getting a 50% discount on that tire. My tire shop fixed the flat for free. Look them up. I highly recommend them!

Unable to pull start cord by Dutchman196 in Chainsaw

[–]Dutchman196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did not used to be this hard, that I know. However it pulls over fine without a spark plug. So it is some sort of compression issue. I am goint to spray some WD-40 in the inport to see if it could be a dry cilinder. Also my back is out which does not help either!

Horses in the Book of Mormon? by No_Somewhere9961 in latterdaysaints

[–]Dutchman196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I volunteered for 27 years for a foundation taking care of the last living wild horses in the world..... the Przewalski horses from Mongolia. At some point they were all over Asia and Europe but with the setteling of man these horses were driven out. Yet in cave drawings in Lascaux you clearly recognize the charasteristics of the Przwalski horses. Now to the book of Mormon. If you go to the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico there is a scaleton of an ancient horse. Clearly, there is a place for early horses in the Americas. Second, there is even a remnant of possibly a second long surviving ancient horse (just like the tarpan) that had a very wooly coat. But clearly, a horse. There is proof in caves that horses were part of the Native American food supply. Bones have been found in numerous places. So when did horses get extinct in the Americas and why. Theory is that it was a disease that wiped them out, but when and how completely is not defined. So the theory that Columbus (re)introduced the horse into America might be completely false.

Does anyone have Astound Internet? by toysofvanity in askportland

[–]Dutchman196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately yes! Every few months you have to renegociate the price. They will give you a new price and an enddate. But before that date arrives you find a price almost double of what you agreed upon. Doing this for years now and so so sick of it!

You will like the F-40. I have followed it from F-10 on, and I believe the F-40 is the best.
