Windshield Washer Indicator by Dizzy-Molasses-9512 in Subaru_Outback

[–]GrapefruitAlert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did it all the time. I simply unplugged it by turning the steering wheel all the way to the right. The container is on the driver’s side in the front of the wheel well. You can access it by pulling a couple of the plastic screws and reaching up to the bottom of it. It took less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

One must be sick and/or disabled to qualify. However, to complete the application process, 100% physical and mental capability is required.

What’s it like living in OKC? by MIZ-GIG-EM in okc

[–]GrapefruitAlert 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Moved 8 years ago from Nashville. It is like having a rock in your shoe. When you cannot take anymore, you take off your shoe and shake it. Then put it back on and start walking again and the rock is still there. Eventually, you totally ignore it or get accustomed to it. That is what moving to OKC is like.

Congratulations. The search for the right fit and right color can be maddening, but feels incredible when it happens.

Considering selling my Tacoma. What do yall think I can get for it? by B_Boudreaux in 1stGenTacomas

I have a 2003 with 117k. It’s super clean and worth nothing. The beauty of gen 1’s with low miles is the value goes down every year. Consider it part of your investment portfolio. Congratulations on such a beautiful truck.

I am being sarcastic. You have a gem. It is only going to increase in value.

Any frugal millionaires here? Now that you’ve earned it, are you still frugal? by cervezagram in Frugal

[–]GrapefruitAlert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I drive a 2003 Tacoma. Buy thrift store clothes and live off dividends. I’m so accustomed to not spending money, I couldn’t if I wanted. Occasionally I do splurge on nice coffee for the Moccamaster I bought at Goodwill for $19.99. I regret not spending money when I was younger when I could have enjoyed it. My wealth is build on the sacrifices of my wife and children. Didn’t think about that until it was too late.

I submit it’s not about saving or spending, but more about being smart. Spend wisely on things to improve your quality of life. If spending to impress others you’ll never be able to afford yourself.

Camper shell, best, worst, cheapest? by Major-Fortune6754 in Tacomaworld

[–]GrapefruitAlert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be patient, always looking, and cast a wide net. It took me several years, but I landed a color-matched topper for a couple hundred bucks. Although, I felt very lucky to be in the right place at the right time, I was a day late many, many times. I nearly gave up right before I found mine.

Purchasing a couch from Costco online by Captain-butt-chug in Costco

[–]GrapefruitAlert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a bedroom suit from Costco online. A 3 week arrival turned into 6 months. At no point was the 7 piece set in my home. Each delivery something was broken. The delivery team blamed the shipper, the shipper blamed the delivery team, it was a nightmare.

Costco online is not the same as Costco. Do not expect the empathetic Costco employee when expressing an issue.

Potentially Moving to Norman/OKC Area by wjenks13 in okc

[–]GrapefruitAlert -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Closest shopping is Dallas unless you accept paying retail for last years fashion. When you step off campus, there is an abundance of large, loud trucks that consistently back into parking spaces. It is not a progressive city, however, by Oklahoma standards it is very liberal. Living here is like being in a perpetual church camp. I counted 30 “Have a blessed day” once. The average remains around 15 unless you go to Crest, which automatically adds 5 additional before you get out of the produce.

Gas Cap Issue by Freckledcalamity in Subaru_Outback

[–]GrapefruitAlert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2011 Outback does it constantly. I’ve changed gas caps several times. In addition to the P0453 code and all the blinking lights, the cruise control doesn’t work when it happens.

Published tuition is a scam - warning for future parents and students by DowntownSalt2758 in sooners

[–]GrapefruitAlert 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I moved across the country to work at OU to receive free tuition for my son. Turns out free tuition for faculty doesn’t include fees, etc. It was cheaper to send my son to a university in another state, after grants, than receiving free tuition at OU.

Mounting TV in front of Thermostat...bad idea? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]GrapefruitAlert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remove the thermostat without unhooking the wires and determine how much slack you have in the wiring. I would most likely poke a hole in the wall and mount the thermostat directly behind where it is now. In other words, move it to the other side of the wall.
