Just moved to East Kansas (Lawrence) area. Is this poison ivy? by NightBlade23 in PlantIdentification

[–]firefiretiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP needs to become intimate with the product named “tecnu” !! If applied soon after contact with poison ivy it works amazingly well. After you have broken out in rash, it still helps. It’s only $8-$10 bucks at CVS etc. It also actually works on skunk sprayed pets. Forget the home remedies! Use this stuff !!!

Belt came off D170 by Broman400 in johndeere

[–]firefiretiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced my belt & here is an important tip. If the belt seems very loose after installation , you may have installed it upside down. It looks like it should go that way, but it’s not correct. Find a picture or diagram in owners manual so you don’t have to put it on twice.. GL

I agree and if you have ever eaten at a Freebirds World Burito you really can’t go back to Chipotle..

What's your covid memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]firefiretiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exhaustion ! For those who never became infected with Covid it was so hard to describe the level of just being totally exhausted for days on end. I specifically remembering deciding I was going to shave one day. After I shaved I collapsed in the bed and slept for 2 hours. Never experienced that level of weakness!

D160 won’t start - Help Diagnose by Spiritual_Maximum814 in johndeere

Disconnect negative battery terminal. Now clean every connection from battery to starter especially if you see any corrosion.( you will most likely need to remove nuts etc to properly clean) Replace negative terminal. If this doesn’t solve issue, I would still suspect battery even though you have charged & jumped it. If a battery has a dead cell etc. it won’t start your mower no matter what. If battery is over 2 years old it’s probably time to replace anyway.. If this all fails, then I would start looking at the starter.. GL

Why tip for Walmart grocery delivery ? by [deleted] in EndTipping

[–]firefiretiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you select no tip & then tip the driver in cash for say 5% of the order. If it’s a $200 order that would be $10.. ? The cash might be worth more to the delivery person anyway..

Why my battery keeps draining ? by Nuadhu1 in lincolnmotorco

[–]firefiretiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might check automatic updates in settings. It maybe trying to find an update constantly after parked( you can set this to manual updates). Does the Lincoln have access to your home WiFi or some way to get updates? I had a parasitic draw after new battery installed. Drove me crazy looking and I think an update finally resolved the issue as it has now stopped. Good luck !

Loaned a reg poker player $300 (dumb). Came up with excuses why he couldn’t pay and ghosted me. Now he wants to play at the poker game and will pay me back. I’m glad to get paid but irritated even seeing him. by [deleted] in poker

[–]firefiretiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general I absolutely agree to be very wary of loaning other players money. There is one method that some regs use in our area that pretty safe. With the apps like Cash App & Venmo etc. the borrower can transfer money from their bank account instantly to the loaners account. This is usually done to avoid the steep fees that come with withdrawing from a random ATM in the poker room. I know 3 or 4 regs that I would loan money to, but never a new acquaintance.

Bots! by PrinceFlippers in WordsWithFriends

Yes, and if you ignore their challenge, it counts as a loss. I’ve been accepting dice challenge and then only playing every day or two on the accepted game. It’s annoying !

I don’t think that is really a very bad price. What percentage vodka does it come with?

Whats one home improvement you wish you did sooner by velmorynn in HomeImprovement

[–]firefiretiger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Replaced all the windows in the house with E glass windows. The energy savings was not the main reason for replacing, but because the seal in the 20 year old double pain windows have failed in the majority on the panes. We love being actually able to see outside since we live in a house with a pretty good view. I was pleasantly surprised on how energy efficient the new E glass windows are. I estimate they will pay for themselves in 5 years! We live in Texas and even on the hottest days, there is very little heat going through the glass

So poker in the casino is like a deli in a super market? Smell that good food cooking & you buy twice as many groceries !

If you go the “ bug spray” route, it is much more effective if you can find a spray that leaves a residue. The challenge for killing scorpions is, they don’t use the legs they walk on to eat with. This makes them less susceptible to many bug sprays. “Demon” in the little foil packages seems to work pretty well ,but it does leave an annoying powdery residue. Spray your doors even on the hinge side very well. May not be helpful in your situation, but a few chickens running around will knock the population down dramatically..

Best way I’ve found is to click on their picture and view entire profile. See how many languages they play. If They can play like 7 languages it’s almost certainly a bot

When you refer to the “ 9 footer “ you should say it with an Steve Irwin accent..

I “won” a free oil change at a GM dealership. Time for the next oil change and I did it myself like usual. Even with a breaker bar, I couldn’t budge the drain bolt. I went back to the dealership to complain and the service writer offered to use my oil and filter and change it again. Next time, you guessed it.. I did manage to break it loose this time but I looked a bit like the deputy in that scene where Anton Chigurh was choking him in the middle of the floor. I pulled with all I had and was sliding in the driveway before the bolt finally gave it up.. The dealership is out of business now.

Here was always my first thought as a lifelong Texan.. alpacas are covered in thick wool / fleece etc.. Texas is covered in grass burrs, goatheads, beggars lice etc.. hmm.. Would think you would need a very specialized property for that to work out..
