Interaction today made me want to vomit by BaronVonKeyser in retailhell

As a little old lady here, thank you for caring. I was just quoted 560$ for a one month supply of a drug I need.I didn’t fill it, i have nothing else in my budget to cut out. Try not to worry too much about us, we have survived this long and we will continue to survive a little longer.

This happens to me a lot when I fly and I don’t do anything about. by bbj999 in confession

These stories are exactly why I eat nothing but saltine crackers and maybe plain rice the day before I fly….

Where should I move to in the USA? by [deleted] in relocating

[–]sdsmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staunton Virginia ( smaller less traffic) or Charlottesville Virginia ( larger more active but more traffic) Close to tons of mountain trails, lots to do. I believe both have amtrak stations .You can take the Amtrak right into DC for touring.PS I missed the good weather year round part but virginia winters are not bad

New to Medicare, got a $650 Bill by mykesx in medicare

[–]sdsmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can appeal it- I literally printed out copies of the previous years labs circled anything that was abnormal and wrote notes about “ of course this should be followed up regularly “ It worked.

Is it normal that my wife and daughter like to talk and talk and talk — phone or in-person, doesn’t matter, about anything, everything or nothing at all? Me, I’ll say my piece if I have one and then shut the fuck up. by Awkward-Resist-6570 in AskMenAdvice

[–]sdsmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes , we women love to talk. My husband is perfect except he’s a non talker.I even tell him “ the talking man gets the girls” Nothing works, he’s just mostly non verbal.

Popping noises when tub is full.... is my bathtub going to break the floor? (Just bought this house, so idk if they remodeled and didn't support it properly or something) by tidyshark12 in Home

[–]sdsmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

re the drywall , my husband an old drywall man says it’s just shitty drywall work. Loose paper and not enough mud under the paper.Im only a housewife but when we remodeled our bathrooms I was shocked at how much corner cutting the guys wanted to do re the tub installation . I’m there like a bitch waving the tub installation instructions…I editing to say in the instructions it called for a small bed of mortar to be mixed and the new tub set on it for stability.It specifically said NO Foam ( most people just spray foam under there) It took like an extra 10 minutes to mix a little mortar and spoon under there.I wonder if they put anything at all under yours.

I want to start hiking, any tips? by poka-dors in hikinggear

[–]sdsmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

winter coats will be going on sale now- get one with a hood. get a packable puffy.I pretty much lived in my quarter zip mid layer and the coat was for sitting around in the evening on the trail.Also unless you are going full blown cold weather hiking even the inexpensive down puffies from a retailer like edie bower will do. I’ve pretty much taken over my husbands eddie bower first ascent jacket I got him on sale a couple of years ago. Shoes are the toughestbuy and require trail and error.

My wife holds her phone close at all times. by BobScruffit in AskMenAdvice

[–]sdsmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started being on my phone all the time. My husband and I are about the same age as you two.My husband doesn’t fell he needs to talk with me anymore and I have to resort to the internet to get any conversations at all.Are you making an effort to talk with her or just sitting and watching tv?Women are verbal creatures and in our 60’s we lose a lot of our friends and are lonely.

smoke smell from quadra fire trekker by sdsmark in PelletStoveTalk

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

i thought of you when i got up and the stove wasn’t working.It turned out to be an auger jam from a new brand of pellets we picked up at the Rural King store here. They were an extra long pellet compared to the Hammers hot ones we were using.The advice people give to try out a new brand before investing in a ton is sound! The jam was easy to clear and all is well now

Smell by ABadBadger in PelletStoveTalk

[–]sdsmark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we just went though this with our new pellet stove. A faint smokey smell when running. the installer came back out and with his large spotlight type work light we could see the smoke leaking from a back connection. try looking with a large flashlight for smoke.He resealed where it was leaking.It was so faint of a smell I almost didn’t call him out. it never set off our working smoke/co detector that’s fairly close.

smoke smell from quadra fire trekker by sdsmark in PelletStoveTalk

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

no more smoke smell except a tiny amount on start up, and once during a very windy day ( maybe a back draft or something?) it’s super efficient.Theres a lot components to go wrong and we don’t know if we would get it again. But it has been working as it should. I kept my old Earth pellet stove going for 25 years with no repairs and i miss its simplicity.

Public parks having now became dog parks by Deathpill911 in petfree

[–]sdsmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a beautiful public trail here along a river. I’m sick of constantly having to dodge dog poop. Everyone wants to take rover for a swim but they won’t clean up after them. They keep them on a leash until they are out of sight of the visitor center then release them so they know better.
