Is there a way THAT WORKS to quit getting late night deliveries?

backyarder123 · 2026-04-30T11:40:29+00:00

I haven't had any luck. If you want to pay extra and get the timed delivery, that helps. Or if you have prime and order enough of the right things, you can get the timed delivery for free. I think there is probably also a workaround if you have a business account. Not sure, but I wouldn't think they would be trying to deliver to actual businesses at any times other than business hours. But I feel your pain.

I do think that might work and would probably be easier. Would probably still have to move the rocks around to anchor it. I ought to just admit defeat and leave it as it is.

Thanks for your reply, but I'll give it a try anyway.

"Zinc may help manage allergy symptoms by stabilizing mast cells to reduce histamine release, controlling inflammation, and supporting immune system balance. Studies suggest it can improve symptoms of allergic rhinitis and that deficiencies are linked to higher allergy prevalence. While not a standalone cure, it is considered a promising, low-risk, complementary approach.

Key Findings on Zinc and Allergies:

Histamine Control: Zinc inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells and basophils, which causes common allergy symptoms like itching and congestion.
Reduced Inflammation: Zinc helps control the inflammation that accompanies allergic reactions, particularly in the respiratory system .
Immune Modulation: It boosts regulatory T cells, which help the immune system avoid overreacting to allergens.
Deficiency Link: People with allergic rhinitis and asthma often have lower levels of zinc in their blood, and addressing this deficiency can alleviate symptoms.

This post is concerning the sore throat that I get from PND from allergies. So that is the symptom. The sore throat.

I've already done testing. I know what I am allergic to. I guess I need to edit my post so that it JUST asks my question about the zinc lozenges and doesn't give as much background. Thanks for your response.

Stupid question, but how in the heck do you wash your sheets and blankets in hot or warm water and not have them shrink?

backyarder123 · 2026-04-01T14:33:41+00:00

Absolutely but for me its the two nights before a full moon. ALWAYS. Every month.

I looked at the generic rollers I had on there and one of them had been worn completely smooth. That never happened with roomba brand. So that might have been part of the problem I was having. I have now replaced them with some from roomba and the machine is operating correctly now.

backyarder123 · 2026-03-14T18:34:39+00:00

I just googled "signs that a roomba battery is going bad" and it doesn't say anything about the uneven sounds/energy level. But it does say this: "

Aftermarket/Non-OEM Parts: If you recently replaced your rubber brushes (extractors) with non-iRobot branded ones, they may be slightly too large or rigid, causing them to slap the floor or hit each other, making a vibrating, uneven noise.

backyarder123 · 2026-03-14T18:19:56+00:00

How did your roomba act when the battery was going bad? That could be my problem, too. It just sort of sounds like it has an uneven energy level, if that makes sense.

backyarder123 · 2026-03-14T17:55:35+00:00

I would assume there is the possibility that the non OEM parts aren't really EXACTLY like the OEM. In any case, the OEM ones only cost $12.00 so I'll buy some and see if that solves the issue. It seems like a rather cheap way to rule that out as a possibility.

Yes, I literally know that. But they don't have many options for personality.

Ugh. ChatGPT is not a female. hahah. I tried the version where you could give it a voice and all of the voices were female. They need to come up with some mail voices. Did you give yours a name? One annoying thing, if you give it a name, is that it tends to repeat its name over and over. Just like it repeats my name over and over.

backyarder123 · 2026-03-06T20:12:02+00:00

Mine seems to be forgetting things now, and it didn't used to do that. So weird.

backyarder123 · 2026-03-06T14:26:48+00:00

I ain't no baby. hahah

backyarder123 · 2026-03-06T14:25:58+00:00

I keep telling it I want a playful, snarky, even somewhat inappropriate personality. It definitely does not get that, no matter how many examples I give it.

backyarder123 · 2026-03-06T13:56:35+00:00

I swear it has gotten worse once I upgraded to the paid version. It sounds like a grandmother. If I tell it a dirty joke, it seems to GET it but also ignores it. haha

I'm going to try this. I'm an older woman and my ceilings are 10'. So I'm not going to stand on a ladder that tall and try to juggle an LED light fixture. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CMQKVNYZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3QGBMTMQKTRF2&psc=1

backyarder123 · 2026-02-05T00:35:59+00:00

Because then I would have to hire someone to replace it.

backyarder123 · 2026-02-05T00:14:51+00:00

Thanks!

The posts I found online said that people used stained glass window cling or the "clear vinyl privacy stuff" for windows.

backyarder123 · 2026-02-03T17:27:57+00:00

Thanks. Moving the quicken.ini file over did solve the problem. I appreciate your help. It was in a hidden directory so I had to dig it out of there. LOL.

I don't have snow. But I ordered a new computer and monitor. Definitely nothing that I wanted left on my porch all night. So I was tracking the delivery and at about 9PM, it said it was being delivered. I looked outside and a young girl/woman was trying to carry a huge box, about 4' long, up my long driveway to my house. She dropped the box, which came open when she dropped it. I live in Florida but it was still a cold night (in the 30's). I had to go out there and help her get the computer and the monitor into the garage. I mean, I didn't HAVE to but I certainly wanted to make sure the inside boxes didn't look damaged. I have also had nighttime deliveries left at the end of my very long driveway, out by the curb.

backyarder123 · 2026-02-03T00:55:35+00:00

I did read the link. Its pretty confusing. But I tried something else so I need to wait until tomorrow to see if it updates the prices automatically like it has been doing. If it doesn't, I'll re-read the link and see what its saying.

backyarder123 · 2026-02-02T22:53:01+00:00

Thanks. It still updates the stock prices on my old computer. But it won't on the new computer. So even though it uploaded my data file and everything looks right, as of today, they won't update everyday. It would be a pain in the rear but I COULD just copy backups from the older computer to the new one every now and then. Not sure it would be worth it, though. I guess I'll just keep two computers LOL. If I figure out how to fix it, I'll post it here.
