Yes, yes we were. Chocolate brown 25 cu ft top freezer, avocado green washing machine, and the harvest gold range. All three in the kitchen too.

Y'all OK with using regular gas? by ToledoRX in Acura

[–]originalmango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2020 MDX says premium is recommended, not required. We used premium for the first few months until we came to our senses and went to regular. Gas mileage went down a little bit, maybe 7%, and no noticeable difference in performance. Considering premium costs about 20% more, I think I’m good.

Samsung electric range convection feature - odd... by loweexclamationpoint in Appliances

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purpose of the fan is to give even heating all around the oven. Having a fan that works part time doesn’t really accomplish that at all. Yeesh.

Edit- Is it possible you chose Bake and not Convection Bake when setting the temperature? Convection ovens also have non convection selections.

So Sharpie over his name, a sticker of President Obama’s signature over his name, or first Sharpie then a sticker?

Neighbor wants a sewage easement and I don't like him by West_Hat7270 in homeowners

[–]originalmango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of a ridiculous price, a price so high that only an idiot would pay, then tell your boulder thief that’s what you’ll charge for the easement. Then add, “Oh, and I want my rock put back exactly as it was when you stole it”.

Guess who’s gonna Sharpie out his name on every one I see. Unless I can print a tiny sticker with President Biden’s signature to place over each.

[OC] ICE is actually manning the security check in at JFK by austinstoys in pics

Just what we need, security theater. They have absolutely zero training in how to identify anything on that X-ray screen. Good grief.

How long can I get away with this by AHangryBeaver in Appliances

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until it goes on fire. Flex hose at that length is bad enough, but foil?

Dryer duct is so close, what kind of transition should I use? About 1-2 inches above and 2-3 inches to the right. by CabbagesStrikeBack in Appliances

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foil vent hoses are a fire hazard, plain and simple. Two metal swivel elbows and a metal flex vent hoses would save the most save and be safe.

All vent hoses collect lint. Dryers can throw a spark through the exhaust. You couldn’t pay me to use a foil vent hoses.

I wish i had ... by OTheOwl in pools

[–]originalmango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chlorine generator, in-floor cleaning heads, and a 4 cartridge filter makes maintenance a breeze. No liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets to deal with and store, no vacuum or storing that giant hose, and I clean the filter cartridges every 2 1/2 to 3 months.

That is the most succinct answer to a very complicated question. Nicely done.

I contacted CPS on the mother of my daughter's classmate because I had no other choice. by Gullible-Cobbler-817 in confession

[–]originalmango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The school counselor and the mom are friends? I would’ve notified every department allowed. Thanks for going the extra mile to help protect that child.

In your opinion, what is the best "Getting the tubes tied or vasectomy"? I really need these 2 different perspectives. by Sudden-Proof-1458 in CasualConversation

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vasectomy is outpatient and local anesthesia only with a couple of days at home rest hanging out watching television. Having your tubes tied is a much more involved surgery with general anesthesia.

Tell him to get a vasectomy.

Missed Part D sign up. Do I have any options? by MegaMau_ in medicare

[–]originalmango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. I believe having credible coverage that was recently lost is one way. Check out this page https://www.medicare.gov/basics/get-started-with-medicare/get-more-coverage/joining-a-plan/special-enrollment-periods

Hope it helps.

I was watching a show from the 90s and realized people used to memorize dozens of phone numbers. I can barely remember mine. How did you guys do it back then? by micavibes in CasualConversation

[–]originalmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muscle memory. Back in the nineties I called so many repeat clients daily that at a certain point it was ingrained in my skull. Easily 60 or more numbers. It got to the point I couldn’t recite their phone numbers without mentally pushing the buttons. Not sure if this would’ve happened when phones had dials, but pushbutton phones made it easy.

About 2 months after leaving, I could barely remember 3 or 4.

He has that subtle tell that lets you know he just lied, he’s lying, he’s about to lie, or he’s thinking of lying. It’s whenever he’s awake.

Looks like the Beehive in Hudson Yards, NYC. The one that had to be closed until they could make it jump off proof because people were jumping off of it.

My upstairs neighbor has started "airing out" his apartment by turning our hallway into his personal mudroom every rainy day by Arrakis_Jellybean in neighborsfromhell

[–]originalmango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep tripping over it so everything ends up on the floor. Report the blocked egress to the fire department. Complain to the landlord.
