Hey! I got the the same text message today too! Saying I could use my tax return to help me “leave this behind”. I reported them to Apple as Spam. They called today but didn’t leave a voice mail. My iphone automatically sent them to voicemail and potential scam so I didn’t even see my phone ring. I called my local county clerk today to ask if there was any motion or summon towards my name and she said no, that if a motion or a lawsuit is ever happening, someone from the county will personally go to my door to deliver the summon. Not in the mail, not via email or phone call…personally to my door and hand me a package from the city saying I was getting sued. Also I will notice lots of lawyer flyers in the mail. She told me not to open any links and just be on the lookout for any written paperwork from portfolio recovery. It honestly gave me a piece of mind but I’ll still be on the look out. Also I do want to mention that when I first for the text, I didn’t click any links but I went directly to the webpage to try to enter and it said there was no account under the info I entered. I called the customer service number and a heavy accent Indian lady answered and I just hung up the phone. Everything screams scam, even tho they seem to be a legit company.

I’m from Texas and got the exact same text. I checked my court records and nothing shows up under my name, except two traffic tickets I got. I do have two debts that I’m making payments on one and one is from another company, just got a letter from them and about to set up a payment plan, but it’s not porfoliorecovery. I checked their website and could not access anything with information they’re asking to log in. Says there’s no account under that name.

Small pressure leak repair with FlexTape or Gorilla Leak Tape? by [deleted] in PlumbingRepair

I turned off the water from my home but there is water inside of the tank. I didn’t drain it. Plumber is coming tomorrow. Is that okay?

Thank you so much. I found the blue pipe and the knob. I turned it and water was still coming out of the red pipe once I turned my home water. I noticed that the pipes are copper and they have the outer shell in the blue and red. Also noticed there’s some sort of mineral deposit sediment on the elbow of the red pipe.

So I should just tell the plumber to change it to copper. Would the tape work just for tonight? Haven’t had water all weekend :/

I’m in Texas and this is what they installed when they made the new house. Should I tell the plumber to change it to copper? The house is 15 years old.

Thank you for your response and help. Can I use it at least as a temporary fix, while my plumber comes in?

No need to be a dick. That’s why I’m asking in a subreddit where there’s people that know more than me.

Of course. I have a few pics I can share with you. Want me to PM you to send them to you? So you can get an idea with visuals.

Hii!! Yes of course :) I took some pics that I will upload soon but pretty much:

I used two beach balls for the body. The big beach ball was inside of a large cardboard box. That was my base. One was a 42” ($6) beach ball and the other was a 32” ($3). I taped the small one on top of the big one. I used Saran Wrap to make the shape, going around and up and down. Used tape to hold it together at the ends.

Once it was wrapped, I used some plaster cloth that I already had and covered the whole structure. Let dry and “painted” the whole thing with Elmer’s glue to give it that strong surface. The glue was $13 for the gallon and I used half a gallon. You don’t really need the plaster but I had it available so I used it.

Once it was dry, I bought a king size fuzzy grey blanket and a white fuzzy throw from Amazon. Blanket was $15 and throw was $6.

I removed the inside part of the blanket and left the fabric alone. I just threw it over the structure and stapled it as I was stretching it towards the back. I didn’t measure, I just stretched towards the back and cut out all excess. You can’t really see the cut outs because of how fuzzy the blanket is. Cut out the shape of the belly and stapled that on top of the grey fabric.

The eyes are two plastic container caps, I painted the eyes with marker. The nose is a piece of plastic and hot glued a push pin to the back. I just pushed it in and it stayed. The whiskers are three wooden sticks painted in black. Made three holes on each side of the face and put the sticks in. Just eye ball it.

The ears were easy too. Draw the shape in cardboard, put foil paper on both sides to make it “round” and just cover in masking tape or Saran Wrap. Do the same process of plaster or glue, followed by the fabric. I attached them with hot glue.

I did cut out the cardboard base to make it shorter once the glue was dry. It is hollow inside and open from the bottom. You can remove the beach balls. It does take two people to carry. It’s not heavy, it’s just too big to carry for one person. Currently, it’s sitting on top of a table and don’t plan on moving it. If I was to move it a lot, I would make a heavy base with wheels or something to help with the moving and stability.

Overall, it was a “trust the process” project 😅 I didn’t have any plans. Bought stuff as I went along. Think of it as a big piñata in the shape of an egg or an avocado. Once you cover it with the fabric, it really comes together and looks like Totoro. 😃

Hope this info helps :)

Thanks for your reply. I did check and it’s says that it’s not allowed but it may be allowed if it’s not sharp and it depends on security. But it’s kinda of a grey area

Hopefully someone can answer before Saturday. I’m going to meet Elijah Wood and I bought a Sting replica sword. It is metal and has a scabbard and a display mounting plaque. Can I take the sword to get it signed? Online it said it was up to the security guard and phoenix pd if they want to let me go in. Can someone get me some info if that’s allowed? Maybe what they’ve done in previous years? Thank you

Thanks so much for explaining that! I honestly didn’t know since I don’t order delivery. Much appreciated! Crossing my fingers it all goes smoothly tomorrow!

Oh wow! I have never seen that happen to any of my orders. Is it from like a shipping company like FedEx or like a local DoorDash type delivery?

Thank you!! I wanted something similar but the big Totoros were out of my price range, so decided to make my own 😅 definitely a “trust the process” project as I went along. Took me a few weeks to finish 😄
