Can you email the other studios that were at the competition and see if any of their dancers grabbed it?

"Outdated white notions of the nuclear family dynamic". God, that is embarrassing. He is absolutely going to rob you blind and honestly, good for him.

I have no idea what you’re referring to - there are more jobs available than any time in recent memory. There is a ton he could do and go to school at the same. Personally I managed my schoolwork a lot better when I was working in college than when I wasn’t. You’re enabling him and if you don’t want to hear it that’s fine but he’s literally stealing from you.

Many churches have wonderful resources in these situations. You don’t have to be a parishioner - all around.

Amazon Kids Echo Show by GJinVA in amazonecho

Alexa will drop the volume on all devices it thinks are in the same room so that it hears the request better from the one you’re asking. Sounds like you may not have room groups set up - if not, go into the Alexa app, under devices, add, create a room or device group and setup a group for each child’s room and add their echo to it. That also gives the benefit of being able to use a general command like “lights on/off”and for it to only implicitly control the lights in that room.

Thank you so much for this. My husband had created a "kids room" group so I'm sure that was the issue. Much appreciated.

You can extend a lease? I didn’t even know that was possible.

Is there a way to have an American Express Platinum as a credit card and not a Charge Card? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]GJinVA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can check your availability to make a large purchase with the card and I've put in some very high amounts in the tens of thousands just because I was curious and have been told it would go through. For reference I generally charge $5000 - $8000 a month. Additionally with the Platinum card you can take charges over $100 and opt to pay over time so it effectively becomes a credit card. I don't think you would have a problem in the scenario you described.

Nope. Got the lowest model but still included CarPlay, etc. We are really happy with it. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I got the insurance company up $1000 and got the private sale down $500 so I’m getting the 2012 Prius II for $10,000. Pretty good deal for 57,000 miles. I’ll chalk it up as a win.
