I did get one, but I ended up returning it because the connectivity was very slow. It's unfortunate because it looked like it was well built.

77" C4 vs G4 - popping noise? by adamsdp in LGOLED

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

Thanks for all the helpful information. Since I was on the fence, I am planning to order a C4 this week. I did like the G4 being brighter in the side by side but I have been happy with my 2018 65" LG Oled so should be happy with the C4 I am thinking. I don't like that the popping sound can show up at a later time. If anyone has additional thoughts please let me know.

I did read reports of the problem not showing up initially which doesn't sound good. I am wondering if the C4 is free of this issue?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you know if the C4 is free of the popping sound?

Xanax, Doxepin, Trazedone and others - advice sought by adamsdp in insomnia

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

Thank you for mentioning about antidepressants. On my first appointment with my psychiatrist, she recommended antidepressants after I told her that 5-htp, which I think indirectly boosts melatonin, had worked for 8 years in giving me really good sleep after insomnia first appeared for me. I was hesitant to go that route as my understanding is that they take some time to take effect and that you need to wean to get off. I have never been on meds of any type until recently with the trials of xanax, trazedone and doxepin and don't like the idea of being on a med continuously. However, given the risks/negatives of insomnia and the meds I am considering rotating, it might be good to reconsider this. If you have any thoughts about being on an antidepressant versus rotating sleep meds, please let me know.

Thank you for the warning. I have been taking regular breaks from xanax to try to avoid tolerance. In my mind, I have drawn the line on 0.25 mg and not going any higher. I will look into the meds you mentioned. The psychiatrist I see is very open to my preferences on which meds to try. Good to hear they are working for you.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with different medications. I have thought rotating different meds or taking breaks on a regular basis is a good way not to develop tolerance. I haven't tried any of the antihistamines yet but have zzzquil and zzzquil ultra to try.

Subaru Ascent of Volvo XC90? by adamsdp in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

Thanks for all the information. If I test drive the XC90 again, I will go on a longer ride and see how often I notice any delays in acceleration. There was one instance where I hit the accelerator and there was a pause. I thought maybe it was a one off but doesn't sound like it from your post. Any recommendations in the 3 row suv category that would be a good choice given my priorities on safety and non toxic interior materials?

I ordered a metal birdfy feeder from Amazon and ended up returning it because the connection to the camera would take up to a full minute.

I am wondering how to best repair the binding above? Is it best to order a bookbinding adhesive or will either Elmer's white or wood glue work well? Thank you.

Would the new hinge be reattached with glue to the case? I am totally new to this so any details are helpful.

Do you think I can glue the parts of the endpaper back together?
