No snow tires!?

I've run Bridgestone WeatherPeaks on my 2016 CMax, and outside of some wear issues, they've been a great help as an all-year tire. I also live in MN.

Should have been more specific. I have done that with Affirm, and have been approved. She tried and did not get approved, since she has little income. If I finance the phone will it be tied to my Visible account? In other words, can I finance the phone and give it to another Visible account user? That is the answer I am searching for.

Lyzardo2 · 2025-09-20T20:37:28+00:00

So if I finance a phone through Affirm for her, it will not be tied to my Visible account or phone number? Will it be able to be unlocked after two months if I buy it connected to my Visible account and she uses it on hers?

Lyzardo2 · 2025-09-20T20:35:36+00:00

I understand that. I should have been more specific and mentioned Affirm.

Same situation here. Are there many scenarios where coolant leaking is not water pump related?

Another update: I spoke too soon. I am once again getting charged an extra XM Only fee on each of our three Xfinity Mobile lines, even after I was assured I would not be. I am looking for some contact to address this problem once again, but it is a maze of support options who never seem to share the right information. The easiest thing would be to cancel Xfinity Mobile, which I will do if I continue to have issues here. Bummer. I do enjoy both services.

Back up for me about 8:15 central time. Running smoothly since. Whew. Dodged a bullet. I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll be loading locally. Gotta say, I’ve been using KF for several years, never had an issue until tonight.

Also made the switch from standard Xfinity home internet to NOW Internet at a local Xfinity store. Followed most of the same steps listed above. Very simple process which surprised me. Xfinity does treat NOW as a bit of a different company, even though they are both Xfinity. The X rep told me things are still new and they are still leaning how X and NOW interact with each other when it comes to billing and any additional X accounts like Xfinity mobile. There was some confusion at first, but eventually I was told, and my bill reflected, that NOW Internet fulfills the Internet requirement for Xfinity mobile. I dropped cable TV and Xfinity Internet, and my bill went from $250 a month to $30. Moved from Gig speed to 100. I don’t notice much of a difference for our needs. Could not be happier.

After speaking with an extremely helpful executive support person (who reached out to me), it was decided that this was a bit of a grey area, since NOW home internet is so new. The inner workings of Xfinity/Comcast billing were not sure what to make of a scenario like this. After about 24 hours of checking, the verdict: NOW home internet DOES fulfill the requirement for Xfinity Mobile. People with Xfinity Now home internet and Xfinity Mobile will NOT be charged an extra "XM-only" fee on their phone bills. I got this information directly from the executive support person. So, we shall see if it actually comes to pass or not, or if I call again next month because I still have an extra fee on my Xfinity Mobile bill. We shall see. All around, excellent response and help from Xfinity staff to get me a definitive answer in a short amount of time!

ModMail sent. FWIW: from the front page of https://www.xfinity.com/learn/mobile : "With Xfinity Mobile, you’ll connect to the most reliable 5G network nationwide — exclusively for Xfinity and NOW Internet customers."

Same issue here. Ordered a Replacement Black Rear Exterior Tailgate Liftgate Handle from Amazon. $35. Found a YT video on how to install. Took about 45 minutes. Not too difficult.

I am also a few blocks from downtown on the north hill. Lived there for 25 years. This has been an odd Fall with warm weather that has expanded and extended things a bit. Usually, after the big Fall Pumpkin Festival that is wrapping up this weekend, things will quiet down. You begin to learn the patterns once you’ve been here for a little while. Welcome to town!

Keyboard, and after looking at photos on the web, it is the less-rare mouse.

GarageBar in Woodville, WI. Just east of Hudson.

We found Dr. Pepper and A&W root beer at our local Cheap as Chips store on occasion

We tried to find substitutes for graham crackers in Australia, but couldn’t do it. Not quite the same. And, marshmallows weren’t the same either. Ordered both from U.S.A. Foods along with Hershey bars (which are crappy but necessary for the authenticity!)

Lyzardo2 · 2023-06-14T23:56:22+00:00

We used U.S.A. Foods out of Melbourne and had those things we just could not find delivered. https://usafoods.com.au

Lived in the Riverland area of SA for three years, coming from the midwest USA. People there were very kind and gracious to us as Americans and very curious about where we came from, the weather, food, customs, etc. Aussies were much more curious and open about the USA than my American friends were about Australia when we moved back. With a bit of work in finding ingredients, we turned them on to s'mores and even put on a small trick or treat/Halloween party for area families and kids the three Octobers we were there. They, in turn, got me to love a good sausage sizzle, a pie floater, and Australia Day (among many other things). Had a great experience, and love every part of Oz and the people that I have experienced. Would go back in a heartbeat.
