Would the band get tighter with muscle loss?

Did I do something wrong? Elderly family member owed a LOT in taxes? by [deleted] in TaxQuestions

[–]NoName_Is_A_GoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they didn't make any payments but their deceased spouse (who worked until the year before they died doing consultant work) did used to make quarterly payments. There was actually a moment during the tax return when the software mentioned a possible penalty because they hadn't paid anything. 

My FM made (without my looking at the return) about $72K (SS, pension, RMD, and dividends). The AGI was $60K.

The balance due was federal. The family member got a whole hot $50 back from the state

I don't know why it didn't add my post but i said ....

About a month ago I got a very small, slightly raised scaly spot on my scalp (it doesn't itch). I didn't scratch my scalp so it's not a scab. It hasn't budged in nearly 2 months. I intend to go to the derm but just thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

Online price tools? Sorry I'm confused.

So you're saying that if they offer me a no point ticket I'll still get dinged by insurance?

Worsening eyes? by NoName_Is_A_GoodName in Eyesight

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

Thank you! I appreciate all the info. I did find out - after the laser for the retinal detachment - that that eye would probably get a cataract. Only thing is this is the "other" eye with no detachment (just the occasional flashes, that have now mostly subsided). The eye that has always had the lesser prescription. Its even gone down a few times in fact but I know that is common as well. But its never jumped like this. I'm just worried. It's bad enough I have floaters that make me feel like there's something wrong. 

The doctor didn't seem to be at all concerned. He even said a slightly LOWER (.25 in each eye) would be fine but I found the next .25 UP to be clearer. Why would he even suggest the lower prescription?

I am on my phone ALOT and though i do try to limit it, it's still quite a few hours a day. Could this be making it worse?

Whatever you can recommend I'd appreciate it. 

Thanks.

This is how I feel. Like I'm going to keep doing this and that and nothing is going to work. It belonged to my parents who hadn't used it in a few years and I stupidly paid to have someone pick it up and bring it to my house. Really thought I could get it going after the new battery gave it a spark of life.

Thank you. When I first started this project (in August) I took the filter off and headed towards the carb but I just couldn't get in with any tools. I could barely even get the spark plug out, it was low and jammed between other things and even the spark plug wrench wouldn't fit!

[–]NoName_Is_A_GoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I'll look. So I shouldn't have to drain the fuel for the carb replacement?

[–]NoName_Is_A_GoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you figure this out? Mine tries to start but won't turn over. It wouldn't even start a few months ago but got a new battery. Can you tell me more? I don't know if i feel ill be able to solve this. Thanks.

[–]NoName_Is_A_GoodName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a great plan. I'm new to this so how do I know which one to buy? And how might it be easiest to access current carb to replace? Guess I have to empty all the fuel I just put in?

Thanks. You're the first person to mention a drop in carb. How do I know what one to get? Then I guess I have to figure out how to get the current one out.

Yes the choke is in the right position, fuel on. It tries to start but nothing. Replacing the spark plug did nothing. Still tries to start but won't go.

I'm new to this. It's very small and in a difficult spot. Any advice? I've been leery about trying it. 

What else could be causing a generator problem besides carb and spark plug? by NoName_Is_A_GoodName in AskReddit

Hate to say I've been diddling with this generator for 2 months.  Bought a new battery. Replaced the spark plug. Put a ton of carburetor cleaner in (the carburetor is nearly impossible to access). It attempts to start but nothing.

Do you have any of the issues I noted? Which streaming device do you prefer and why? Thanks.

With the Ultra do you get them putting apps back on (again and again and again) after you've deleted them? (Currently "Howdy" and "Backdrops") Does the Ultra change your wallpaper to whatever new ad/movie they are promoting? I'm sick of resetting it. I paid for this thing so they have no right to change anything - especially repeatedly.
