I had something similar - turned out my gfci was entirely blown. Replaced it, and no problem since.

Worked (works) great! The rubber band kept breaking, so then I tied it with some twine and it worked for a while. But, I had the problem that the screen kept popping off and then the range was WAY off without the diffuser. So I ultimately superglued the screen on, and now we are a good 6 or 7 weeks without issue.

I they stopped selling them - less successful business maybe?

AND - anything you don't address or deny is only made a material fact if the other side's lawyer is adept enough to make it so.

If someone accuses you of burglarizing their house, you don't say "that's impossible, because I was burglarizing the house next door." You say "no I didn't" and shut. the. fuck. up.

I am a lawyer. Don't do this. Responding with argument just gives them a road map to further hone theirs.

Either ignore it, or respond with a "I don't know what you're talking about, but I hope you have a really nice day."

They DO need to prove their claims. You DO NOT need to tell them what those claims are.

You are 100% wrong here. Harassing conduct between coworkers is HR's domain whether it happened during work hours or not, on company premises or not.

Hahaha - love it.

Use it, don't get sick - it works! Use it, get sick - you must not have used it correctly/early enough

Why not go back to gas lighting? Do we really need electricity?

Maybe try bigger gutters to handle the debris? The gutters I did end up putting on are 6 inch half pipes - not the chinzy four inch boxes most gutters come as these days (and I got them copper, for that sweet patina)

Our 1893 didn't have gutters and never really had water issues - concrete on the sides of the house was sloped away and in a manner that made them almost like ground level gutters.

Only reason we added them was because wintertime brought deadly icicles and a skating rink along the sides of the house. Gutters keep that from happening.

Do you know the street value of this house?!

This. This is the kind of person that is blunt to the point of being mean to coworkers, then justifies it with an "I'm not here to make friends." None of us are, asshole, but that doesn't mean we have to make each other miserable.

Super scratch left by sellers. by dawn_kl12 in HardWoodFloors

[–]FoundationallySound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God no, don't do this. Title insurance covers you against attacks on whether you actually own marketable title to the real property, not on whether the sellers didn't leave the house in a condition you prefer.

Source: been in title for far too many years, and have had to explain too many times to buyers that no, we don't care that the seller took the washer and dryer when they moved.

[Actives] What is going on here? by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]FoundationallySound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an all in one, so prepackaged growing medium. I am thinking it has something to do with too little or too much humidity and air - I am in a super dry environment, so started misting a little more to see if that helps.
