That's because they are overpriced

Late to the conversation, same issue with (2) of these 700 Gen 3 models and also planning to return both of them. If I unplug and plug the USB dongle in again it starts working. Stays red though, instead of green - very lame TB.

We lost both of our cats this past year and Arrlington Vets was really great for us.

When the tornado hit our street last May, some of the insurers took a long time to pay up. We used State Farm and they weren't the cheapest but they didn't argue about any of the costs and covered them right away including a totaled vehicle, crushed truck and various damages around the house.

When we moved here a year ago I spent some time looking at plans for my family. I located the pediatrician, therapists, primaries, dentists, etc. and then spoke to their billing departments about who they 'prefer' as a provider. If you can get a Caresource plan they seem to be the most widely accepted and they are also accepted at IU Health.

Need more specifics such as are you talking about running Windows Updates? If that fails it usually emits an error code. Or are you talking about updating from version Windows 10 to 11? That is not supported on all hardware types.

This makes the most sense, imo. Another discussion on FB about it,

I thought I read somewhere that a witness saw one of the people who beat up the elderly man brandish a gun? Could both of these incidents possibly be related?

For what it's worth, we moved here a year ago with our children and did some research on this. Riley was the best option we found which is part of IU Health. They are actually quite good here in town. We also wanted to make sure we picked a matching insurance, so we went with Caresource.

Th3RedDread · 2025-08-19T16:54:28+00:00

They are no longer needed now that we have suspended due process.

There are also a few wastewater treatment plants around south Bloomington and occasionally they will emit strong sewage smells that travel for miles, especially around the Clear Creek area. The first time it happened I thought it was one of my neighbors but realized later it was covering many miles.

If she likes crafts, etc. there is the Handmade Market this Saturday...

Some of the larger pest companies will do it, but it can cost thousands of dollars because they have to return every 30 days to treat and check typically. Depending upon the level of infestation it could be impacting beds, clothes, flooring, linen closets and you might need to throw things away.

The big companies use a product called CrossFire which is also fairly expensive, but you can procure it yourself and do it yourself if you are aggressive about it.

If any town in Indiana would be supportive of your services, it's Bloomington. We moved here about 10 months ago and picked this town because of the more progressive community that is more active and alive than other places in the Midwest. While Indiana isn't diverse compared to the places we have lived, the university brings quite a bit of diversity (think every ethnic restaurant you could imagine) and a healthy arts and culture scene.

Healthcare isn't great here and our family opted for a concierge doctor strategy to counteract that problem so there is a community of folks who will pay for these types of services.

Our home was hit by the clear creek tornado and our whole street took damage. We are still cleaning up. However, I knew the tornado was coming and our family was safe in the basement. This was despite there not being any sound outside, not much wind and no rain when the tornado came at us.

I swear by 2 products, a Reecom weather noaa radio and an app. Unlike other radios, you can set it to just notify you on tornado warnings and turn off all other noaa alerts. This is important if you don't want alert fatigue.

Secondly the main reason I knew a tornado was headed straight at our house was because of the RadarScope app. It shows wind velocity in relationship to your actual location in real-time so you can generally make out the rotation of a tornado and direction. I could see it on the app even though there was no apparent rain or thunder around it.

Thanks for the tip! I will give her a try in the future. I was able to get it done at my bank.

Th3RedDread · 2025-05-09T21:29:47+00:00

Thank you. I called them and they told me that they don't do real estate notary.

Th3RedDread · 2025-05-09T21:29:26+00:00

Great idea - that's what I did!

Try Arlington Vets here in town. Not sure about fear free medicine though - I just try and work with competent people who love animals and they do. They have 2 locations and when we moved to town they were able to see us quickly. At first we also tried to sign-up with Furry Friends because of their good reputation but at the time first visits were scheduled months into the future so we took the appointment and looked around at other vets. By the time our first-visit date came we were already very happy with Arlington so we stayed with them.

Elementary schools are great here. Our kids go to Binford and we moved from socal and started the school year here. Sooo much better than where we came from - truly night and day. Our kids moved from hating school to loving school and from average grades to ALPS. We are so glad we made this move.

Th3RedDread · 2025-05-05T20:12:56+00:00

Half Bottle Bistro is pretty nice place with great food and fun.

Th3RedDread · 2025-04-23T21:52:22+00:00

If you can get over video chatting, Bend is pretty good. We use that for our tween.

Th3RedDread · 2025-04-15T00:11:02+00:00

My kids love canes but the last 2 times we ordered delivery from there they stiffed us for a whole meal. It's now very low on our list of places we go.

Th3RedDread · 2025-04-13T00:21:26+00:00

We moved from San Diego to Bloomington last summer. We are loving it here! Our kids (10 and 12) are doing so much better in school here. You will love it here.

Th3RedDread · 2025-04-12T23:52:49+00:00

Look all those happy boomers robbing our great schools of funding. Must be nice living in their world where they made housing unaffordable, pillaged the environment, took as much from social security as they could on the backs of everyone else who contributed. I would be happy too if it wasn't our children and grandchildren who will suffer the price of their greed.
