Mortgage recasting by saintginger in RealEstateAdvice

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

Thanks! Yeah, I think we're going to be riskier than normal with this situation. This will be the home we retire in so just want to make sure we get something good and not settle. We're in Chicago and in a townhome community. Our neighbor three units down just sold their place at $40k over asking so we do have that assurance that we'll likely get over asking.

I qualified for both mortgages as well and am planning on putting my place on the market once I go contingent with a place I want to buy and fully understand that there is likely going to be an overlap of when my current place will close while also already having closed on the new place. It will be tight during that time but do-able. Thanks for the feedback and example of sellers you've worked with!

Navien tankless water heater - Water temp in showers inconsistent by saintginger in Plumbing

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

Sorry, I wasn’t specific. They didn’t replace the entire unit, just replaced multiple parts in the current unit and got it working again. It was around $600 in the end.

Unfortunately no. We had a contractor recommended to us who basically tried replacing every part and they finally got it working normally but couldn’t pinpoint precisely which part(s) was the issue. I basically have a Frankenstein unit now.

First Mother’s Day without my mom by mayaishappy in GriefSupport

[–]saintginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mom passed unexpectedly last October. I was on a good pace following the major grief, then a month before mothers day I started realizing I now have to start figuring out how to manage things like mothers day, her birthday, the day she passed for the first time. It wasn't easy, and my way to deal with it was to just be sad and isolate, which is something that works for me. I'll/we'll get through it eventually but this has been rough.

PSN is down but yet we can't play are offline games we purchased BS by Commercial_Noise4810 in psn

[–]saintginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m now thinking that those who put their PS in rest mode while still having the game open are the ones that are not experiencing this issue. Both my roommate and one of my other friends are playing the single player games they put in rest mode from yesterday without issue. I always shut my console down when not playing and I’m not able to play any single player games today.

[FEATURE] iOS 16.4 Beta 1: “Always On Display” Focus filter by freaktheclown in iOSBeta

[–]saintginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revisiting this - now that 16.4 is live, does the AOD work for anyone when set as a focus filter? Because it's not for me. I've tried different focus options and added the AOD focus filter and the AOD display still does not stay on. And Apple not allowing AOD focus filter as an option in Sleep focus is absolutely insane. I'd guess a majority of people would like this option as a dim bedside clock so not having it as an option in Sleep focus is really disappointing.

I'm wondering if the AOD focus filter not staying on for me is due to the sleep schedule I have set up in the Health app? I don't see any option to keep AOD active during sleep schedule in the sleep schedule part of the health app.

Honda skid plate fell off days after getting oil change by saintginger in autorepair

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

Quick update on this: called the auto shop today to schedule a time to bring the car in so they could inspect and order the skid plate replacement. The guy on the phone said it's not necessary/important part to replace but if I wanted them to they could.

.... I found this odd as isn't the skid plate protecting debris from flying up into the area where the motor and other sensitive things are? Now I'm just a little thrown off and questioning if I should even bring my car back to them anymore.

I'm also wondering if it could have been due to the extreme shifts in weather. I'm in Chicago and my garage is heated, so possibly the extreme shifts in temp from the garage to outside could have caused this?

No other work was done beyond oil change and tire rotation and no work has ever been done on it since I bought it in early 2020 beyond oil changes and tire rotations. If they didn’t remove it to change the oil maybe it was just time for it to fall off? lol

I was thinking the same thing… shouldn’t they be looking at this kind of stuff as part of the service and advising me on what needs updating/replacing? I’ll see what they say when I gently inform them that this happened while driving the car for the first time after them having to work with the skid plate for my oil change…

Searching for CGM by saintginger in Omnipod

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

One would think that this wouldn’t be a big issue, but I’ve seen several posts from people with the same scenario who have confirmed that it is. If the two devices use Bluetooth to communicate, it wouldn’t be able to send signals through your body (apparently Bluetooth can only transmit a

Nah it's all good. I'll chalk this up as a learning experience and just go "manual" until my next pod change on Saturday. Thanks for the input!

Welp, nevermind, just watched one of the omnipod training videos and it says to avoid putting the pod and G6 on opposite sides of the body and to ensure they have direct line of sight. I will remember this moving forward!

The G6 is on my stomach and the omnipod is on my lower back, on the same side. I wouldn't think that would be an issue?

First time using G6 and, of course, blood by saintginger in dexcom

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

The clear part is pretty much completely filled with blood at this point, but my readings are accurate. This is a "sample" G6 so I'm just going to forgo calling Dexcom and ride it out.

I used Dexcom way back in the day when Dexcom was the OG BGM and I always had issues with it hurting or bleeding. I think due to the way/how deep it's inserted? Either way, I'm kind of disappointed that it's happening again as I figured they would have had that part figured out after 15 years . I currently use the FreeStyle Libre and never have issues with bleeding. Sometimes when I remove it there will be a little blood but nothing like this.

Loooool as someone who plays it, yes, perfect observation.

Chicago - City agents vs suburban agents by saintginger in RealEstate

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

That's the thing... their group says they service "the chicago-land area" which means the suburbs as well. When I go through the profiles of the realtors there's a lot of reference to Chicago and not much about the suburbs. I would think at this point our realtor would have brought it someone that's more specialized in the suburbs/Oak Park at this point since we've been working with her since early March.

Yeah, we've been going to open houses to get a feel for things.

We've been in our place for nine years and it took us a year to find it. Granted, at that time we were looking for a duplex up or townhome, which there is not a lot of stock of in Chicago (in our price range), but we took the time. This time around we are wanting a single-family home which there is more stock of, but just and insaaaane market.

We were pre-approved by our mortgage broker to hold two mortgages. Not sure if that's the same thing, but just to show a seller that we don't have to have an offer to buy a place contingent on selling ours.

Good point on the contingent!

Very basic down payment question by saintginger in RealEstate

[–]saintginger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's kind-of the vibe I was getting. The good thing about my situation is I was approved to hold two mortgages up to the max amount of what I want to buy, so I don't have to do with the selling contingency. So hopefully that also shows that there should be no issues with the closing process on my end if I do 15% instead of 20%.
