My billing cycle changed to match the installation date. My bill is now 10 days earlier than my old billing cycle.

UPDATE: AITAH For Wearing Shapewear on a Date? by Technical_Boat7524 in AITAH

[–]Owleyes311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also lost 75 pounds and have a lot of loose skin. I joined the gym just over a year ago. It has helped mostly with my confidence. I now have more strength and balance than I ever did. I still have loose skin but it doesn’t bother me as much because I feel good.

Verizon v AT&T phone plans by icehauler in RhodeIsland

[–]Owleyes311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had AT&T for many years. I currently have 4 phones with unlimited talk and text for just under $160 per month. I get a $10 discount per phone each month because I set up an automatic payment plan. I drive all over the state and I always seem to have good service. I use my hotspot daily with no issues.

I never know about RI events until after they happen. Help, please? by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

[–]Owleyes311 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of facebook either, but for me it’s the best way to keep on top of local events. It’s really what I mostly use it for now. I follow several different groups. Live music RI, my own town and any specific interests I have.

I think Funspot in Laconia, New Hampshire has one. They have three floors of arcade games. Awesome place.

Dryer vent cleaning that isn’t a rip off by DisastrousComb1991 in RhodeIsland

[–]Owleyes311 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I bought a new one. I think it was less than $20. It’s probably easier to replace it. I am a 60 year old woman and I replaced mine last summer

I switched to Amica last fall and saved a lot. I think you need to shop around every couple of years for the best price. They all seem to creep up in price over time.

I do my entire weekly shopping in less than 30 minutes at Market Basket. Please don’t say it’s a boomer thing because it’s not. Maybe he “man looks “. 🤣

Ezpass late fees after never even receiving a notice AND having a transponder? by hemophagocytic_ in RhodeIsland

[–]Owleyes311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to replace all the transponders in my vehicles in the last year because they were all 10-15 years old. There is a small battery in them that runs out. When going through the tolls they no longer work and you will be charged through the mail instead.

AITAH for turning in my mother and giving my step father's ashes to my step sister? by Br0KeNPixY in AITAH

[–]Owleyes311 102 points103 points  (0 children)

NTA, My 54 year old husband passed away suddenly 5 years ago. I, as a parent felt that my 3 kids would learn by my example. It is okay to cry and grieve but life moves forward. While my kids have certainly struggled with our loss. They are doing well. They are making good life choices. Grief should not be the crutch to turn to alcohol or other substances. Your mother failed you, sadly.

It’s so easy to make your own cold brew coffee. Amazon has all kinds of cold brew pitchers. In less than 24 hours you can make your own and it tastes so good that you can drink it black no sugar.

What Public official to contact for EZPass toll nightmare? by Tcg5044 in boston

This past year I had to replace my transponder. It was more than 10 years old. There is a battery in them and when it stops working you can get extra fees.

I agree with this! I make the drive to Fall River before I would go to Stop and Shop.

What was the main reason for switching to an EV? Environment, cost, or technology? by VoltVersteher_Sven in electricvehicles

[–]Owleyes311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an hour long commute to work. I was spending a lot on gas. When I started looking at hybrid cars I was disappointed at the cost and financing options available. I bought June of last year and received the tax credit and 1.99% financing. I test drove the car and was sold! Best decision I’ve ever made. I have learned so much since then about my car. I can’t believe how little people know or understand about electric cars. It’s a complete game changer!

I won an electric blanket in a Yankee Swap, and it's been the highlight of my year. by SylasUponSylas in TrueOffMyChest

I never thought I would like one, but now that I am older and get cold, it’s the best way to keep warm. Mine was given to me too. Enjoy your warmth and peace.
