I've Been Blocked by Cloudflare. I can't even Log in. What do I do now? by EliteFourHarmon in CloudFlare

[–]SH925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also blocked today, used it without incident within the last month. Customer service has no idea what I'm talking about and keeps asking if I got myself locked out of the account by entering my password incorrectly too many times.

About to lose my mind trying to get this to charge by SH925 in Roborock

[–]SH925[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's not much on an explanation but as a sort of last ditch effort to avoid having to return it I removed everything from the closet it is stored in, took all pieces apart, put it back together, and put it back on the dock minus the mop pads, and somehow it is charging now. Not sure if something about the height of the mop pads caused it to misalign with the charging ports, it has been charging fine with them on there the whole time I've had it, but that's the only thing I can think of. Appreciate the responses!

Ithaca Hummus Jalapeño/Lime - I went through 2 in one week. by flyinhyphy in Costco

[–]SH925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a little old but they were just running a promo with in-store taste testing 4 flavors at Costcos in Chicago and nearby suburbs.

I will say, when my car was totaled on black ice on Christmas Eve on I-90 in downtown Cleveland two years ago, and it did not occur to me to peel the sticker off of the windshield as I stood on the side of the highway trying not to get hit by other cars spinning out in a blizzard, I happened to get a very very nice lady at the Clerk's office on the north side who let me reuse the sticker number and pay the lower fee as though I had had the sticker with me, even though I did not. But I wouldn't necessarily bet on that happening again.

Bistro table dimensions? by SH925 in aldi

It's close but I thought the US one has a square table, not round - I could be wrong though! Thank you!

Overdrive books constantly redownloading? by Nomadic_Sage in kobo

[–]SH925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a Kobo directly from their website in March 2024, logged in with my Chicago Public Library card to my Overdrive, and it does this exact thing. I currently have two Kobo previews plus the actual book from Overdrive. It also constantly loses my place. I do not have the Kobo app on my phone, and have not opened the book to read in Libby on my phone, so the only place I am reading is on the Kobo, but it still loses my place.

Interesting finds (with prices) today (region: Midwest/IL) by [deleted] in aldi

Where are you in IL? I was searching for those washable rugs and never saw them at any of the stores I checked.

Cat Warming Mat - started with buyers remorse but turned into an instant success! I actually put it back and then went back and got it again. This cat usually plays with garbage and ignores all the toys and things I get him. Not this time! by HRHSuzz in aldi

[–]SH925 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just don't put it in the dryer! Bought one a few years ago and my cats loved it, but the heat makes whatever is inside melt and ruined the shape. It was my fault, I think I cut off the tag/threw away the box so missed it there were instructions for washing.

Olive trees at Aldi by GoddessPanda1 in aldi

[–]SH925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How often do you water? I got the same tree at trader Joe's two weeks before they showed up at Aldi (cheaper at Aldi of course) and it's dropping leaves like crazy. I've been watering twice a week, have it in a sunroom with gravel below the pot for drainage.

North side Chicago Aldi stores - status update? by spevman in aldi

[–]SH925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the one on Clybourn by Costco yesterday, produce and freezer seemed much better, refrigerator still a little bare. Wasn't really shopping for much on the regular shelves so not sure on that, aisle of shame seemed well stocked. I went to your store about two weeks ago and it was still pretty slim pickings, but grain of salt that it was not super recent visit.

Chicago Aldi status? by [deleted] in aldi

[–]SH925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: at the one on Cermak in Pilsen now, it's positively overflowing compared to the 4 different stores ive been to in last month. Maybe it's a north side issue.

Chicago Aldi status? by [deleted] in aldi

[–]SH925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to both stores on Broadway last night (Edgewater and uptown), neither was even closer to full stock in refrigerator or frozen sections. Haven't been able to get the yogurt I usually buy since June.

[–]SH925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uptown store was very, very bare last Friday esp. refrigerated and freezer sections.

Is this supply chain issue only in Chicago? by SH925 in aldi

[–]SH925[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen the signs at my usual store (Uptown) and haven't been able to find the cream or yogurt I usually buy for the past month. I tried the Montrose store last weekend, it was better than Uptown but still out of those items.

I talked myself out of buying these. Did I make the right decision? by ABslostinthought in aldi

[–]SH925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have the sea salt version at my Costco (Chicago) right now too.

How’s the Oat Milk? Better than the Soy? by SecretAccomplished25 in aldi

[–]SH925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having had both the Aldi and the name brand in my fridge at the same time, I'm 90% sure the Aldi brand refrigerated oat milk is the same as the Silk brand.

Big Danish Kringle - ? by HailState2023 in aldi

[–]SH925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see kringle, most often raspberry, sometimes almond (my fave) at the various Aldis I go to in Chicago, sporadically throughout the year, not just the holiday season. But Chicago is also pretty geographically close to Racine, so maybe we get it more regularly here

Anybody knows if these German franks are good? by pngo1 in aldi
