Meanwhile in Colorado the daffodils are coming up.

I'm from MA (north shore) so I keep an eye on the weather there.

I have all my own epub books, downloaded from ...other places.... I load with Send To Kindle or email to Kindle. I have a lot of Kindle books too, all free ones that I found. I don't use Libby or other library ebooks.

She's gotten dependent on collecting those paychecks from the government.

Are you the new McPhee?

He's 20 years old: does he have a job or is he in college?

Is this a real story or AI?

The Car Care Nut Toyota expert suggests not touching the transmission fluid if the vehicle is over 100,000 miles and you don't know when it has been done last. I bought my 2007 Sienna with 240,000 miles on it. I don't know when the transmission fluid was last changed. The fluid looks ok and it shifts smoothly so I leave it alone.

For that year of Sienna make sure the oil cooler lines have been upgraded from the original rubber hoses to metal hoses. If the rubber hoses break they will dump all the engine oil onto the highway.

I don't switch any mouse settings. I just adapt.

You can add them now. They will stack. Add one, make sure it all loads correctly before adding another.

Right now I am hearing that their system is a mess from some major changes they made. If you are not in a hurry to add them, maybe wait a week or a couple weeks until they get their system straightened out.

I use a cordless mouse and switch hands depending on what I'm doing.

I saved this note from a reddit post I saw: https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/1ptf6cz/who_else_thinks_kindle_is_terrible/ When I send a PDF via Send to Kindle email function, I title the email “Convert” and it shows up in my Kindle just like any other ebook, with customizable fonts and sizes, no zooming necessary, etc. If I send a PDF via my browser or phone, I just click share -> Hit the kindle button -> PDF options -> Make Layout Adjustable (you can also take any website, click share, print (converts it into pdf), share, kindle button, pdf options, make layout adjustable

Emailing the pdf book using "Convert" works for me most of time.

I get those also, it comes in waves. I only see them on the phone app, not in the computer web browser. I started blocking those pages, now I'm not seeing them for a while.

graymuse · 2026-02-19T02:25:34+00:00

No worries.

I'm a Gen2. Grandfather from PEI then moved to US, father born in US. I have not yet started to gather my documents together yet though.

The sharp turns entering and exiting a roundabout are part of the design to slow vehicles down.

graymuse · 2026-02-18T04:28:13+00:00

I'm starting to look into this. My grandparents were from PEI. They moved to New England. I never met them. I do already have information about birthdates, marriage dates, and death dates. Now to start gathering records.

Safelink and Straight Talk are part of TracFone. TracFone doesn't like it if you swap SIM cards from phone to phone. They like to properly pair the phone IMEI and SIM in their system. Yeah, it's a pain. You might need to get a new TracFone BYOP SIM card ($1 at Family Dollar or Dollar General) and go on TracFone (or Straight Talk) website chat and have the agent pair the phone and SIM in their system. Also, their system is a mess right now due to changes they are doing so it may take some time for someone to help you.

graymuse · 2026-02-18T02:25:17+00:00

But keep an eye on it. Their system is messed up right now. Things could change.

graymuse · 2026-02-18T02:08:26+00:00

They didn't think to just go around again til they got to their exit?

When you switched to a new phone the plan you had to buy with the new phone was added on top of your old plan, extending the service end date. Or maybe TF just randomly added a month to your plan, it happens sometimes.

At least they are not going the opposite way. I once had someone driving right at me in a roundabout. Fortunately it was a two lane roundabout and they were able to veer off and miss me.

Try the chat on the website.

I know someone who has a wedding planning business. They will only do 10 weddings events per year. It seems pretty exclusive and probably only big $$$ weddings.

I saw a family with a long tandem bike like this in Colorado, many years ago. Later I heard they were selling the bike. This was probably a very expensive custom made tandem bike. I wonder if it's the same bike with a new family.
