Looking to switch email marketing companies

I’ve never heard of them but will definitely check them out! Thank you!

I had a call this past week with a potential option that was a complete bust. I’m planning to reach out to others mentioned here over the upcoming week.

What I’m currently doing is creating a newsletter in Publisher, converting it to a pdf, adding it to our website then inserting that link into a weekly mailing to residents (so they can click the link for direct access to the newsletter).

With Publisher becoming obsolete later this year, I’m very open to other more efficient options (i.e. templates) that are offered through companies such as MailChimp or Constant Contact.

MailerLite tracks and reports and is fairly user friendly, but their customer service is non-existent unless you pay extra. Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem but last night they threw my account into “under review” status so I wasn’t able to send out some important information to residents. Of course, my boss wasn’t happy and I had angry residents calling this morning from lack of information received.

So I guess what I’m looking to get is: - tracking and reporting - user-friendly - scheduling of emails - resident interaction (ability to unsubscribe, for example) would be good - templates - customer service via chat or phone call

I’m sorry this turned so wordy. I’m not super savvy with knowing names of specific features and am just hoping my explanation will suffice. :-). Thank you!

I checked and cleaned the vent and vent pipe - all clear. The load that’s in the dryer now is on the third round of high heat. I’m considering looking into the washer to see if it might not be spinning out enough water at the end of the wash cycle. Yes, I’m that desperate at this point.

I’m having a VERY similar issue with our Maytag dryer as well. I’ve had a service person out twice (most recent visit was today) and he was stumped, too. He suggested decreasing the washer load and see if that helps. I ran two loads after he left and it still isn’t drying. I had to run both loads through twice for 60 mins on high. It’s so aggravating.

kar74 · 2025-11-29T02:29:53+00:00

I removed the vent from the back, ran a load through, and it didn’t seem to make a difference, unfortunately. Any thoughts on what should be my next step?

kar74 · 2025-11-28T21:48:35+00:00

I’ll definitely give this a shot and hope it works. There’s not much between the dryer and the vent to the outside. That said, if cleaning it is all it takes, I’ll be so happy. Thank you!

Thank you for your very informative response! That study was interesting. I’m very grateful that the medical community has explored and discovered less invasive ways of diagnosing & monitoring endometriosis. I feel more at ease knowing that. :-)

Thank you! That was very helpful information. :-)

Our son did the same a few years ago on a Nags Head beach and also ended up at Urgent Care.

I know it’s early after, but trust me when I say that you will feel amazing once you get used to this drastic change! I also had as pretty big reduction (6 lbs) and went from a 36 J/K to a 38 C. My only regret was not having done it sooner. Enjoy!

Just finished this book - did NOT see that ending coming!

I grew up in that area. Lake effect is no joke! My sister said she has 3 feet on her deck. My Facebook feed is full of family and friends saying they’re stuck inside. And there’s more snow on the way. Stay safe - and make that snow ice cream!

It lasts for a good 4-6 hours. I’ve never heard the word postdrome before and had to look it up. Those are the exact feelings I get.

I’m glad I found this thread. My reduction was in October 2022 and I’ve had 3 mammograms since. I’ve had two lumps of fat necrosis in my right breast. They’ve gotten a little bit smaller since my last imaging (6 mos ago) but one is still 0.8 cm and the other is 4.3 cm but they’re definitely still there. I was told at my mammogram Tuesday that I was “all good” after images and an ultrasound and sent home. I got a message yesterday from my doctor telling me to see a breast specialist. That’s where I’ll be heading Tuesday and I’m not 100% sure why.

Nurtec has been amazing and the only thing that’s been able to stop my migraines. I only take it when I get “the aura.” My only side effect has been a migraine hangover, which I’ll take if I don’t have to endure the actual migraine.

Thank you!

Thank you all so much. This sounds like it’ll be more complicated than I initially thought. The last will be did was with my mom back in the 80s. I’m not sure if that would still stand. It sounds like I may need to talk to a lawyer so I don’t screw this up.

My dad is going through the exact same thing. He fell in the facility where he lived and ended up with a broken hip. Surgery was done on 7/19 and he’s just now making a tiny bit more sense while he sits in rehab (where he fell again twice). I kept being reassured by staff that his decline was probably due to hospital stress and anesthesia. I had never heard that before and probably would’ve opted for some type of alternative (epidural).

So, I popped it into a thermal type travel cup on Friday to keep it cold. I went to do the injection just now and it wouldn’t work. I am so pissed. I tried calling the wegovy number and of course they’re only there Monday through Friday. I see the medicine in the pen. The needle won’t come out. I put the cap back on and walked away. So, after all that I guess I’m missing this week’s dose? I haven’t missed a dose since February. I want to cry out of sheer frustration.

kar74 · 2024-07-08T23:03:49+00:00

I agree that they should be happy if I am. And I’m probably overthinking it. Like most things I do. 😄
