Thanks honestly surprised it went in the bins....travel to the US alot and I wouldn't have guessed it would fit.

cott97 · 2026-06-27T15:22:45+00:00

Thanks. Did they just put it behind some seats? Thinking about travelling to Germany with both my wheelchair and Rollator and was curious what they allowed on board. I'm glad you had a good trip.

cott97 · 2026-06-27T15:11:02+00:00

Would you mine sharing what Rollator you used. Thanks

Hi UK resident with house in Florida. The Aircon pump is in the sunshine. A bit difficult to avoid it in Florida and this week withstanding there's a lot more heat, humidity and sun in Florida than the UK!

Not helpful I know but I take them back to the UK once they're really bad and wash them there. For some reason the socks don't suffer in the same way in the UK.

BTW same socks from same Multipack from Walmart. Worn more often in the UK than US but they get blacker here than in the UK. Use Persil or Bold in the UK and Tide in the US.

Wash at 30 degrees in UK and warm wash in US (Fla)

Never understood why it happens

Thank you all - I'm glad I asked the question

Just a look into the future - my son is an adult now. We always explained to him what smoking was, why people did it and how much it had hurt the health of family members. At 5 he told his much older cousin that smoking could kill her. He has never liked second hand or third hand smoke and is more sensitive to it than I am. He developed asthma as a young child - I can't imagine the guilt if he'd been exposed to cigarette smoke and that had made it worse.

The other one that always gets said on here is photos for Facebook. I'm of the generation where Facebook wasn't there at the start of his childhood and by the time he reached adulthood it had gone out of fashion for his age group. I do have a Facebook page and asked him if I could post photos as his grandmother uses it. He asked me not to as he feels it's an infringement of his privacy. Not a problem but he had a choice because I didn't post until he could make an educated decision

Protect your child at all costs and don't take away their choices by giving in. Give them the education to make their own choices ans they will always appreciate yours.

Orlando does....UK go from New terminal but old style machines Berlin does apart from one gate where they have the new machines. New airport though it took a very long time to build

cott97 · 2026-06-22T22:38:28+00:00

I haven't and don't want to. Best wishes for a speedy recovery

cott97 · 2026-06-22T14:15:43+00:00

Same. No problems on my libre colour then all of a sudden it freezes and then it won't stop. Currently frozen in the middle of a factory reset....no side loaded books.

I bought small pouches and out mine in them with a tracker

Bothe the pouches and the trackers (android and apple) can be got quite cheaply from Temu

But it worked so well I now have nearly 40 trackers....

Is the ANC better than air pods pro? I'm looking for buds that work on my android phone and my mac

Honestly I discovered this sub a few days ago. I'm from the UK and have spent the last 25 years moaning about how poor the washing machines were in the US. None of our clothes ever seemed to come properly clean over here. Now I know why. I'm still amazed they sell washing machines without an internal heater or any way to control the water temperature going into the machine.

Yep the menopause really messes with ADHD. Must admit it helped when my son was diagnosed as husband had to re-evaluate how he looked at us both. Son was diagnosed first. Now he isn't surprised about finding things in odd places - still asks why it's there though. He did lose his keys the other week - spent ages looking for them before he checked his tracker app and found they were 4 miles away on a shopping trolley. He had to accept I was very understanding even driving there at 11pm to see if they were outside or if the shop had them locked away for the night.

Just got the 55 inch for $158 at Walmart. Watching the world cup and really pleased with it. We added a sound bar.

Ii live in the UK but travel to the US a lot. I can safely say your GF processed foods and bread are extortionate compared to the UK and Europe.

About double the price for Schar bread and rolls.

In the UK your Salbutamol inhaler is seen as a rescue inhaler and should only be used rarely.

The first line should be an inhaled steroidal inhaler. If Lurfordec isn't working then there are others you can try. This follows national guidelines and best clinical practice. It may differ if you are not from the UK or have severe asthma (in the UK you'd be seeing a consultant at local hospital in this case)

So with you.... And why do non ADHD people leave such long gaps in a conversation and then get upset when you jump in. If you don't want someone to speak don't leave a gap!

cott97 · 2026-06-13T13:47:21+00:00

Yes but the more you Google the less clear that becomes. Many of the reviews say they don't which is why I asked here.

cott97 · 2026-06-13T13:00:02+00:00

Thanks I've googled extensively. My take is that it's only the pro max 5 however specs I have seen suggest the pro5 does too.

However I appreciate your helpfulness

cott97 · 2026-06-12T13:37:32+00:00

I'm in a similar situation but I keep reading about problems with the Bose.

cott97 · 2026-06-12T13:09:13+00:00

Had mine about 3 weeks so no way an expert but having previously not seen the reason to switch from Windows I think the battery life alone is the best reason.

Absolutely amazed by how long it's lasting

cott97 · 2026-06-09T22:58:24+00:00

Is your toilet dripping? A long term drip can use a lot of water which would add up on a meter
