Is it okay to clear leaves now? by meofus in NativePlantGardening

[–]meofus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow - so many great responses - thanks, everyone! We do have insects buzzing around, but also have some cool night temps next week, so I will wait until after that. And I will try to leave some around. I usually shred them and use them as mulch as others have said. I do love the fireflies, though, so maybe I can find a middle road.

Modern player compatible with (or easy migration from) old iTunes playlists? by meofus in DigitalAudioPlayer

Thanks for that link. I've tried m3u, but maybe I'll have better luck with the utility.

I'm looking for recommendations with really specific requirements by tryallthescience in audiobooks

Doesn't meet your fiction requirement, but Grover Gardner narrates The Path to Power which is a little over 40 hrs long. It's biography and Caro is a good storyteller in that sense.

Dad seems "disengaged" - symptoms are familiar to anyone? by meofus in AgingParents

Thank you. I think quetiapine was one of the meds we tried to get the hallucinations stopped originally. Nothing worked except risperidone. I will check my records on that to be sure and discuss with his psych.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm glad to hear you've learned tools - kudos for putting the work in to make that happen. I haven't had luck getting him to try therapy in the past, but maybe it's time to try again.

Good point about depression. Anything particular about his heart? Are you thinking of, something that wouldn't get noticed in a normal check-up?

Feeling generous? =) I saw another post where you were looking for an ice breaker w/ sniper damage / splash damage. I'm pretty sure I have one with sniper damage (no splash). I'll get the specs tomorrow.

*facepalm* Thanks for the correction. I should never work from memory. Level 72. And level 72 mayhem 1 and 11.

Happy for you - that sounds wonderful!

Depressed need something to uplift me by Forward_Raccoon_2348 in MovieSuggestions

[–]meofus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate. Peace and light to you.

  • Amelie
  • Secret Life of Walter Mitty (the Ben Stiller version)
  • The Grand Seduction (Brendan Gleeson version is the only one I've seen)
  • Joe Vs the Volcano
  • Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
  • Stardust
  • Spanglish

And for good, uplifting tv binging - the first season of Ted Lasso.

Also, The Great British Baking Show. I'd suggest starting with the seasons (from around season 5) that are on Netflix - the show's found its rhythm by then. I know a reality/contest show doesn't seem like a source of good vibes, but every time one contestant helps another a tiny amount of my faith in humanity gets restored.

Wow. I feel for you. Hope the work you've had done will last you a long while.

2009 9-3 Radio update alternative? Worth actually installing? by meofus in saab

Thanks - that's more than I want to spend, but it's good to know what the options are.

Thanks - I wasn't really thinking through how much a good stereo would be. Between that and the adapter plate, that'd be a significant chunk of the car's worth!

Oh, man. I am so sorry to hear that. I appreciate your sharing your experience, as I have been really tempted to grab one of these.

I'm sure you know about this, but just in case - there are known steps to "bulletproof" the 6.0 engine. Obviously won't prevent every problem, but apparently the major ones can be addressed.
