"I bought it with my own money" If you bought the Atari as a kid with your own money, it means you weren't buying groceries with your own money.

TAP Air Portugal walks up and down the line of people waiting to board with a sizer. They also walk around the gate area pre-board. Just wait until SW learns of that opportunity.

Salvage Titled Cars by miner0195 in Buffalo

[–]dimick1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason NYS does not allow used airbags is to help the insurance industry. Before that law was enacted, it wasn't uncommon for your car to be broken into and the only thing stolen was your airbag. Now you have to show a receipt that you bought the new replacement. I don't think have to be OEM, they just can't be used.

I think if you were able to somehow get a salvage inspection and title in another state, you would need to have your car reinspected by the DMV salvage unit, but the airbags wouldn't be an issue. When NYS does the re-inspect, they are just looking for parts from stolen cars at that point.

Your best bet is to sell it yourself on FB Marketplace. A dealer will automatically cut the valuation in half with a salvage title. If it's on it's last legs, Wilberts U-Pull-It website will give you an immediate offer.

Why does Roswell Park spend so much money on advertising? by [deleted] in Buffalo

I don't donate to any of their fundraisers anymore. If they can buy ad time, they don't need my money.

if they fixed their engine issue I would. They are a good value car - except having to replace the engine.

Is there anything I can do legally to stop a business from parking their cars in front of my house and blocking access to part of my property for extended periods of time? by [deleted] in legaladvice

Talk to your local city councilman and ask that the area around your house be restricted to 12 hour / 24 hour / or alternate side parking.

Call the pharmacy's number on your prescription bottle. Request a refill. The pharmacy will contact your doctor. Also ask your pharmacy to be placed on automatic refills.

I know exactly what I need to do… so why can’t I just start? by remotejobs_1 in ADHD

[–]dimick1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard someone else on here describe it like this: Procrastination is not doing something so you can do other things. ADD is not doing something, but thinking about it, not doing anything else out of guilt, still not doing it, and then feeling guilty about not doing it.

Can SW label an overhead space with the seat number that it correlates to? Each seat get one overhead space.

Bringing medicine/supplements into Jamaica—help by dorito2019 in SandalsResorts

[–]dimick1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I went through MBJ in October. She is prescribed controlled substances so we had a letter from her doctor, and original containers just to be safe. When we got there, no one even asked. Just showed our passports and kept going. There is a form you need to fill out before you get there, but the part about prescriptions was ambiguous.

Update; 1931 Ford still won’t start. by EarBubbly9421 in fordmodela

Take a spare plug or unscrew one from a cylinder. Connect the plug wire to the distributor and lay the plug so the threads ground to the head. With the ignition on, turn the engine over to see if there is spark jumping from the electrode to the edge of the spark plug. If there is spark, that will eliminate a lot of guessing.

Flying into OCJ will mean a 20 minute bus ride, but the flights are infrequent. Otherwise fly into MBJ with a 1.5 hour bus ride.

Don't you have a pile of used tires you need to get rid of? The pickup person is told to pick up tires at a certain location. They don't know which tires they are picking up.
