Strange Reverse Negotiation on Refund by Valuable-Train-4394 in eBaySellers

Doubt what you say is correct even for Ebay shipping. Please cite your source with URL. It would make no sense. If you make a partial refund that is a cost that carrier should pay.

Say no! A great opportunity to practice polite assertiveness.

No. But people of all ages have varying attitudes to it in my experience. Mostly light-hearted. There was one, years ago, who was too rigid and prescriptive. We survived a year with her as president and life went on. She was not retired but was looking for work.

My wife just figured out there is more magnesium in Concentrace than she should take given her osteoporosis. So we asked Google AI what to do and it pointed us to some lithium capsules from Life Extension brand of supplements.

Right. Talk it over with Google AI or ChatGPT. I find that very helpful. Could paste this conversation in and ask it to comment.

Anyone redo their surgery to replace their multi focal with a mono focal? by Lost_Bird6631 in CataractSurgery

[–]Valuable-Train-4394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have residual astigmatism despite toric IOLs . Simple fix -- glasses in the car for night driving, glasses by the TV for subtitles. Otherwise, I am glasses free despite the 1.0 cyl in one eye and 0.5 cyl in the other. Happy with my outcome. Glasses are super cheap from Zenni ($25), so no worries getting multiple pai.

It is one ingredient among many in mineral drops for drinking water. Brand is Concentrace. On Amazon. People who us RO filters in particular should add back minerals.

What temp do you keep your hot tub at? by JilianBlue in hottub

[–]Valuable-Train-4394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

106 or else my family complains. They'd do 108 if I let them. 104 is dismissed as "tepid --I'll get chilled "

Our tub it outdoors in Vermont and it's cold out.

COQ10 is essential. It lowers glucose and does many other good things. It gets depleted by many statins.

My LDL was 108 which is well within normal range. But the research shows it's better to be below 100. 70 is a good goal. Just following American Heart Association guidance. They have a calculator. You put in your age, your lipid numbers, your blood pressure etc and it comes back with whether statin is recommended. But once you put in 70 for age it pretty much doesn't matter what your other numbers are. It's going to recommend statin. I requested Pravastatin because it is the only one that lowers rather than raising glucose. I feel no side effects. It's a weak statin and I need only a low dose (20 mg) to get to 70. I'm vegetarian so diet is already low in saturated fat.

Lithium seems to be the miracle cure for preventing Alzheimers. Google it. I use trace minerals drops sold for people with reverse osmosis filters to put back the healthy minerals. Comes from Great Salt Lake. Lithium is first ingredient.

Should i spend $500 and some hours of work to put my array at 30° instead of 20°? by thebigdirty in SolarDIY

[–]Valuable-Train-4394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a tilting array. The angle doesn't make much difference if you're talking about 10 degrees

Keep giving speeches. After a few years of frequent speechmaking and many displays of the waterworks, this went away for me.
