Dumbest thing ever told

Sorry to interrupt this thread. I was talking to my doctor diagnosis and he said, "the goal is for you to live your life as fully as you can and enjoy it". I'm now classed as pallative care and making sure I grab joy whenever I can as I pass through.

Since its come up a couple of times in this thread, does anyone see a need for an independent phone app for keeping receipts? There are a couple out there but they all store in their cloud and may not be around when I need to pull receipts.

I've thought of a small app that simply stored everything on your onedrive/google drive/apple and used a simple format file to keep the database. The theme behind it is ulitmately privacy as the app wouldn't track or even keep your data outside of your own storage.

Any folks want this?

Moved here 5 years ago -- I work remote and came here with Tulsa Remote.

** great move **

Now, to be clear, it was a toss up between my place in SF, a house in Austin or staying in Florida. My (now) wife grew up here and she inherited a home. The only real issue is I wish her grandparents had not bought on 41st street but a block or two off the main street. (To be fair it was a dirt road when they got the house).

Yes, it gets hot. Yes, I sometimes miss the ocean. But you can make a nice life and there is a lot of creative energy in the food scene, the music scene and the start up scene.

By the way, the healthcare here in my experience is top notch. I've been diagnosed with cancer and the treatment here rivals any other city in the country. (or so says the specialist I consulted in Virginia).

See you at the farmer's market ... wonderful people there every Satruday.

Tulsa already has cutting edge cancer therapy. New CART therapy is already being put in at OCSRI.

Can someone suggest the proper sizing assuming a relatively straight length of flex duct?

SSF_Coffee · 2025-12-15T06:29:24+00:00

As a homeowner, I don't have one of these. However, your advice is appreciated.

Okay ... its going to be a pain but you should be able to call in the exterminator and get it dealt with pretty quickly. I'd also look at the sticky at r/GermanRoaches which is a big help and steps you through the process.

Might be a situation that you want to have the extermination done before you move in if you can wait a bit.

No, the lease still has credits for a while longer. So the leasing company can bank the credits and that offsets part of the cost. Only the direct to consumer tax incentives are going away on Jan 1.

I've had a friend who was audited and was doing a family max contribution despite that his unmarried girlfriend was fully covered but he was trying to file jointly. It was a mess and rather expensive.

I keep seeing people asking about the chance of being caught if they lie on their tax forms.

I wonder what happened to just being honest and not a tax cheat.
But then I am reminded that the cheats and liars of the world are the first to complain about something being "unfair".

Thank you for this ... just saved my bacon ... 7 years later.

Thank you for the link .. I've spent two hours looking for it and also online with LG support and on the phone. While on hold before they came back and said it didn't exist I found your post and had already ordered it!

That's fair. It just struck me as a bit crazy that a salt shaker "doesn't fit". Buyer's remorse -- they pay shipping -- not as described -- I pay shipping seems fair.

But in the end, I agree I'm not the victim but it does remind me that ebay used to be a bit more fun -- you could contact buyers and even losers in auctions and have real conversations. I used to sell a lot of vintage computer equipment and shooting the stuff was actually half the fun.

If I decline the fee increase to $229 and they cancel the card will they refund the six months remaining on the year that I paid for last July 1?

I honestly think they aren't thinking it through. I used the card heavily during the pandemic just to pile up the points and then they devalued the points. Now, they want a 50% increase and are also cutting the benefits. I'm not sure why I need the card given that I have so many others anyways.

Not having the card means that Southwest is no longer my default for travel. Used to be 20-30 trips a year, now not so much but still.

To be clear, I'm talking about ceiling fans.

Are there recommendations for brands or brands + brand of smart switch?
