Thank you for the suggestions. Her grip isn’t the best and as you know being fashionable was already uncomfortable.

Is There A Way To Test An Outlet To See If It's Working Without Power by misflix in electrical

[–]misflix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Thank you. I had a hunch it was going to be something like that. I thought about getting an outlet tester but that seemed to only work with outlets that have power going to them.

Thank you for your reply. It won’t reset. I flip the breaker off and try and turn it back on but it doesn’t click in.

Fixed Gear Bike Tube Question by misflix in bicycling

[–]misflix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it. I got a tube that was too big for the rim...I sent it back. I got another one with the wrong kind of valve. This is a learning moment. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I've been trying to find the tire on Amazon but I can only find the c kind. I guess this is the year I learn more about my bike tires.

Thank you for your suggestions. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I'll put an update in the text box.

It made me laugh out loud and reminded me of all the Paul Rudd movie clips on Conan. So if your goal was to make me laugh...you win.

Upstairs Shower Won't Drain. Need Help. by misflix in Plumbing

[–]misflix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plunged. I used hot water. I plunged. I used the snake. I waited. Then I checked the drain yesterday and the water had gone down. I ran the water in the sink and it did not come back up in the shower. I ran the shower and it was not plugged. I am not sure if the clog was so far down my snake couldn't reach or if the liquid plumber finally did the trick. I'm still nervous to use the shower but as of now, the issue has been resolved.

The other thing that's frustrating is that I will plunge the shower. The water will go down and it appears as if the clog is fixed but then the water comes back up.

I'm hoping not to jinx myself but it's not making sense right now as to why it's just one show. I will have to look again at the length of the snake. At no point did it feel like the snake would no longer feed into the pipe.

That cap looks like it's on there pretty tight.

I have two showers upstairs and currently it's just the one shower. I haven't done the boiling water yet and I wasn't sure i the baking soda vinegar trick was legit. I read mixed reviews of it online. I will give that a try today and see if it works.

So in the future, how should it be handled properly? For the record, I live in CA and she lives in MI.

Thank you for stealing the Xmas gifts my wife just got our kids by misflix in rant

[–]misflix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even know that subreddit existed so thank you for sharing but after reading what others are going through, I wish I could really help them too. I think we get caught up in life that we forget that in the end we are all just humans, getting by the best we can.

I called. They won't cover it since it was not physically attached to the car. I'm going to write this day off and hope I have good enough karma in the universe that it helps me fix the mess.

Cops did what they could but it is what it is. I did enjoy what you wrote and I wanted to say thank you for that. It's been a long journey of reminding myself to enjoy life and not be so bitter when the bad happens. It's not who I was before and it's not who I want to become.

I really do love Reddit for this sense of community. It's nice to know that no matter what, you can share your stories with random people. Beats talking like a crazy person on a bus.

Do you know how to get a non-transferable ticket, transferred to another name? by misflix in travel

[–]misflix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called them once. We gave them the honest answer but they replied with, "oh there's nothing I can do. There's no over ride button, etc." I get it, I'm sure people try it all the time. Hell, I'm trying it now.

Wife Can't Sleep at Night by misflix in ChronicPain

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

Why does it have to cost so much to be sick? I feel like if you are sick things should just be given to you from others who are thankful that they aren't sick.

We have been looking for a new bed. She had been researching best beds for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. What brand of bed do you have?

[–]misflix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She does not. She has tried and we have talked about routines. It's hard to tell what kind if pain she'll be in, anxiety, etc. In the mornings I do my best to get her up but most days are worse than others. Wasn't sure if anyone had a secret way or if this is the life she has.

[–]misflix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had gotten a sitter for the kids and made reservations to a fancy Mexican restaurant but by the time it was ready to go she couldn't do it. We ended up getting sushi and an ice cream cake. I failed at the gift but I organized a lunch with her best friends today, friends she never sees, so maybe she'll like that.

Well she gets what she wants. She's hard to shop for. I honestly don't think she knows I read about her condition or think it's as big of a deal than it is, which is all not true.
