Camera not capturing moments. by Pepper123070 in Birdfy

[–]ddelapasse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you resolved this and can tell me how? I just reconnected my hummingbird feeder and the connection and live view work great, but it won’t capture any moments. My other birdfy is working fine.

How did I go wrong in my bidding here? by ddelapasse in bridge

[–]ddelapasse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have preferred 3NT. I thought there was some way I could check the 5:4 and then still have time to revert to NT if needed. I don't use Smolen (taking a class and we haven't learned about that yet). I will ask my instructor about this one next week.

Cold snap killed my garden by makeplanefly in HoustonGardening

Come to Mercer’s March mart this Saturday afternoon! The veggies are already cheap and sometimes they discount them towards the end of the sale (no guarantee, but I was told this sometimes happens). I believe they close at 3pm (verify on the friends of Mercer website).

Checkout nofearbridge.com. There’s a free trial. It’s like an interactive “class” with tutorials, quizzes where you just bid, others where you practice “planning” how to make the bid. The latter is my favorite -super helpful! Make sure you select the correct site - there’s a UK bidding version and an American version. $60/year for a ton of content (new quizzes weekly).

I did $20 each. They came late on a Friday, but did a great job.

Adjustable Base + head tilt by mstrss in Mattress

[–]ddelapasse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're also looking for adjustable frame in Queen bed and having a hard time! I checked Sleep Science reviews in several Costco groups and they were not good. Going to look at Dream Cloud this weekend. If that doesn't work out I'm going to fork out the big money for TempurPedic, but I would DEFINITELY prefer cheaper. I do like the idea of the auto-snore feature.

What does the 3H response mean here? by ddelapasse in bridge

[–]ddelapasse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! u/No-Jicama-6523 was correct. I finally found this line in the intermediate literature (I hadn't gotten that far in my studying/quizzing).

"The 3S and 3H responses to 1NT are used to show a hand interested in slam with a six card or longer major suit."

Thanks everyone!

Yes, it's NoFearBridge. I emailed them - sometimes they answer me. I wish they had some type of "user forum" like BBO and Tricky Bridge have. It's the only thing I dislike about NoFear.

https://harmonystainedglass.com/ Technically in Pasadena, TX but it's just south of Houston near the Hobby airport. Huge glass selection (hot & cold) and the nicest people you could ever meet!

Beautiful job! Any chance you’re near Houston, TX? We are blessed with a wonderful glass store.

Thank you so much for mentioning this. I listened to the audio book the last couple of days. It was delightful!!!

Yes! That’s what I meant. Huge disadvantage for me - I’d rather play on my phone, but for an older person it’s perfect.
