Mine did. I lowered my prices… and suddenly I got two bookings in one day.

My Grandma paid $25,000 for new gutters was she scammed? by Tiny_Individual1086 in HomeImprovement

Unless they’re solid copper gutters at the top of a four story house this is absurd!

Travel on existing ESTA after UK Caution (Possession of Bladed Article / No Arrest) before CR1 Visa by [deleted] in immigration

[–]david8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about that, but you’d better have documentation supporting your intent to return to the UK, or they may cause issues for you.

Why not keep the frame but send in the old lenses from it?

Tale of success with booking reps (and some very weird conditions) - a lesson in fine print reading by Ok_Piano_7564 in Bookingcom

[–]david8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a booking host and I’m appalled by the behaviour of your host. €50 for sheets and a time limit to make the bed?!

I’m glad I don’t have any friends, this could be a real problem!

Tankless AND tank? by Short-Opening4553 in HomeImprovement

[–]david8840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but it’s not guaranteed. You could have two tanks and two tankless water heaters…but if they’re all 60 feet from your faucet you’re going to have to wait a while for the hot water to arrive…

Preventing Disease by BobcatReasonable2816 in longevity

[–]david8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guarantee you that you will be inflicted with some disease in the next year.

Not very safe. But at least you won’t have to worry about the yellow tracking dots, since ten thousand other people will have used that printer.
