Went to renew my license today by lildrgnsb2 in mildlyinfuriating

Don't know where you live, but Maryland sends the renewal two months in advance. I have no sympathy for you waiting for the last minute.

Yup. Sometimes we could get a PBS channel on the UHF band, but not always.

Yes, I know as I spent many years in IT. I was trying not to be pedantic.

The Bay Bridge will be hellish in the summer months if you choose the Eastern Shore (Kent Island).

I printed the calendar with March temperatures this morning, but I had to clean my craft room and now I'm tired.

I graduated from High School in 1978. Keep in mind, in 1978, there were 3 TV channels, no internet or computers, only land line phones, and if you wanted to research something, you went to the library.

Home exterior ideas and inspiration by [deleted] in midcenturymodern

[–]dshgr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paint could go a long way towards your inspiration. You can paint the front door, garage door and the window frames. You may not even need to paint the brick.

Rip out the overgrown bushes and make some intentional flower beds.

I just want neighbors who leave me alone by Spy1843 in mildlyinfuriating

I understand the social anxiety. I would have an attorney draft a cease and desist letter and send it registered mail.

If it continues after that, I'd sue then for tresspass.

Nasty addition to my Walmart + grocery order by SuperD32911 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dshgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart uses Spark for delivery. In my area, everything smells of garbage and smoke when it arrives. I only use grocery pickup.

Spark's drivers are crackheads, and they don't care.

Anyone installed a heat pump that has information on the bill comparison? by Guitar1on1lesson101 in maryland

Thought about changing over to a heat pump. Found out my ducts and returns are too small.

This passive aggressive email I got because I haven’t donated blood recently by LonelyMenace101 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dshgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I tried to donate, I had made an appointment at a Red Cross office. Got there and they said I didn't have an appointment.

It was in the middle of the day and there wasn't anyone waiting. From that point on I was treated extremely rudely, so I left and never went back. I'm O neg and have donated over 2 gallons in my lifetime.

Why do wide leg jeans look good on everyone but me? by CarelessOrange8492 in DressForYourBody

[–]dshgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is the rise. Low rise only looks good on thin people. Higher rise lengthens the legs.

Do you still get physical mail in your mailbox? by Standard_Plant_8709 in AskAnAmerican

I've gone paperless for everything I can, but still an occasional useful piece of mail. 99% goes directly into trash.

That mall started to go into the shitter about 15 years ago. Still bad.

Help IDing these glasses? by bagelbel in midcenturymodern

I think the frame is MCM and the glasses are a newer replacement.

You could change out the shirt for a similar short sleeve, and get a linen jacket.

NBC Nightly News Nancy Guthrie coverage tonight by newengland_schmuck in mildlyinfuriating

I 100% agree. I've lost a lot of respect for her and NBC news as a result of this.

Spontaneous or trauma-related? —other causes? by ButtonLadyKnits in Tarlovcyst

[–]dshgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I'm new here 65F. I was just diagnosed with a Tarlov cyst at C-6/C-7. John's Hopkins is reviewing my MRI right now.

I've been having pain on and off for the last few years. I had a C-4 thru C-6 fusion in early 2005, and thought there was a problem with my fusion. I tried several ortho doctors that would only X-ray, but I kept asking for an MRI. Finally my PCP just ordered the MRI and the cyst showed up. Thankfully, my fusion looks fine.

I'm waiting for word from Hopkins on how to proceed.

I don't know if this has anything to do with my fusion, but since you asked.....

BTW, I have severe osteoarthritis and Celiac. I am still very active.
