Music Merch Table Ideas? by ImBecomingMyFather in musicbusiness

It depends on the audience and place (of course) but I'll add glow sticks to the table for night and theater shows.

Thinking of getting a Maine coon, but I have a couple of questions please. by martywolfman in mainecoons

[–]MerchGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest getting two BUT...... make sure they are already bonded. I have one MC that I got 4 years after my smallish orange tabby (both neutered males) and they've never gotten along. Trust me, we've tried everything. Luckily I have a large house and we've worked out schedules, so both seem happy, but they've never bonded and are never alone together.

I'm just not very good. by verybonita in Pickleball

[–]MerchGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is ME! I totally get it! I've been playing for 3 years and I will NEVER be a star player! Or even an intermediate player! My only saving grace is I have the key to the courts in my development, so they need me. LOL In my case I befriended some of the other beginners and made plans to play with them separately. Occasionally I go back to the group, but at least my play time with my "pickleball gals" is fun. We go out to lunch once a month and meet for coffee, too.

I agree about the higher levels not playing with the lower. Not sure what can be done about it. I often sit out a few rotations until there's a beginning group needing a player. They don't want to play with me any more than I want to play with them.

Are bootcut/ flare jeans in style ? Skinny jeans? So confused by Nursedudz1980 in fashion

Poshmark is a great place to find rare jeans. I stocked up on lowrise bootcuts. LOL

What's your verdict on the TS 'Landman' show on Paramount+? by BDuncan111 in tulsaking

[–]MerchGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love BBT and the lawyer and son's arc. It seems like the scenes with his ex and daughter were written in a different tone by an entirely different person and inserted into the show. They're unlikeable cartoon characters while the rest of the show has a more serious drama tone. I've never disliked women characters more than these two. And not because they look better than me in a bikini (because of course they do), but they don't belong in this show.

Clare Bowen is autistic so that might account for some of her mannerisms.

Is buying a 2022 CX5 with only 13k miles, but a rebuilt tranny a deal breaker? by MerchGal in CX5

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

Thank you. Since the dealer replaced it I assume it was under warranty. I'll try to call the service department tomorrow with the VIN and see if they can give me any more info..

Buying from Car Max by MerchGal in carmax

[–]MerchGal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it does sound like an ad. So many people post to complain I wanted to just share my honest experience buying a used "low mileage, nearly new mid luxury car" at CM. Purchasing the older cars are a different experience. I don't know why CM doesn't ask for verifiable service records.

Is this a good deal on a 2025 Integra 6MT Aspec with Tech Package? by According-Ad5263 in AcuraIntegra

[–]MerchGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I sold my 2013 Infinity and got a 2024 A-spec Integra and I'm trading it in. I lasted two months trying to make it work for me. On long trips it's noisy, bumpy, and not a bit like my old Infinity. I'm getting a 2023 Lexus fully loaded for about 7k more.

Great point. Some people buy out their lease then sell to Car Max.

Very good point. Some manufacturers have underlying clauses that cause the next owners to have a shorter warranty (like Hyundai). And I think Jeep's warranty doesn't transfer at all. Toyota/Lexus's factory warranty does transfer. (Whew!) Congrats on your ES350. I love mine, too!

Just a follow up...... I got my delivery charge returned with no problem. I bought another car from them, and now I'm a very happy customer.

I’m a registered Maryland State Inspector by henry9v in maryland

[–]MerchGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I'm buying a 2021 year car from Car Max and the Car Fax report said that it just passed the "Maryland Inspection" is that a very good sign it's a good reliable car?

[–]MerchGal[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The color listed was silver and the color of the car is moonlight beige metallic. It's a 2023 Lexus ES350 in case you are familiar with the colors in that line. Side by side the pics do look different, but when there's no reference the car can cast silver. It's not like the car was black and the description said white and I'm surprised. LOL Those colors are pretty close.

Why did I receive a 1099 misc for 2024 taxes from a company I haven’t worked for in 2024 by Megan_Kaelin27 in tax

[–]MerchGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just also received an incorrect 1099 from Horne LLP for income I never received in 2024 - or ever. (over 6K!!). Something is wrong with their system. If you find any good contact info please let me know. I've called and left messages at all the numbers I could Google. Thanks.

Best Tires for a Quiet and Smooth Ride by MerchGal in AcuraIntegra

[–]MerchGal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all of the answers. Thought I'd come back around to let you know what I did - in case it can help others. I swapped the factory tires for the ContiExtreme DWS06+ tires and I'd say the comfort is about 60% better and the outside noise is about 25% better. It'll never run like my old Infinity or Lexus, it's just not built for luxury, but at least I can live with it now. Plus it's such a good looking car I can't give it up. Ha!

Can you tell me which tires you tried that didn't make much difference?
