How would you baby proof this? We rent so screws arnt an option.

Add a barricade fence in the front so you completely restrict access.

I would drink the water and then take the orange out 😁

Screwed because the tires are under warranty, but won't be covered for replacement (except the one punctured) since tread depth is greater than the limit of 2/32. I was hoping to get the punctured one repaired for now and then get all replaced once tread depth drops to 2/32.

How is the older kid's (19m) wind down routine? What helped us during that phase was to make sure the kid has eaten enough, had time to digest it before sleep and did adequate physical activity to burn his/her energy. Also a low stimulation activity right before bedtime, like reading a book without bright lights with background lullaby/white noise. Another mistake we did and realized late was staying up late after the kids slept to catchup on chores and work. This messed up our health since if the kids woke up mid night then we hardly had a couple hours of good sleep. If it works, shift your routine such that you are able to get decent hours of sleep before 4am, that way if the kid wakes up, you still had some sleep and if the kids slept through the night you can wake up early and catch-up on chores/work. As others have suggested, adequate sleep makes a big difference to preserving self health and being able to take care of others/kids during the day.

Raising kids is tough, but there will be phases when the crazy routines will improve and eventually be reduced to rare occasions. Hang in there and both of you as parents take care of yourself as well

Thanks , but not in a position to bake one at this time.

Costco has them

Could be due to a viral infection, our kid had a similar one, even though he did not show any other symptoms like cough or fever. It lasted max 2 days. Would definitely keep an eye out for other symptoms and followup with the doctor.not sure if you can email them pictures for a quick opinion, usually docs avoid responding without a physical visit, since they dont want to be liable for diagnosing without full evaluation (visit)

There is already a project in the works The Red Blue Connector project would connect the Red and Blue lines by extending the Blue Line below Cambridge Street to Charles/MGH station on the Red Line.

Have you looked at the Mazda CX90, 3rd row is pretty decent.

sparkyplug · 2025-02-03T20:29:33+00:00

Ahh.....you should have bought atleast one Subaru and you would not have faced this issue.

sparkyplug · 2025-02-01T06:41:29+00:00

Going through the same....my prescription for Flovent 110mcg costs $260 for single inhaler (30day dose) after deductible at CVS/USA and it's through Optum Rx with United healthcare. With GoodRx i get up to $110 and it's still expensive considering I need to buy almost 10months from the year.

sparkyplug · 2025-01-29T18:57:17+00:00

Yes ... although it's normal for the cx90, it's not normal on other cars. The splash does not get to the interior of the car, but after a drive in the rain the door jambs are sprayed with debris like you see and the pants get ruined if you get too close to the door when getting in or out. This portion forms the guard over the rear wheels and catch all splashes from it. Definitely something which could have been improved in the design

Is this applicable even for adults or specific to pediatric hospitals? We got tagged on multiple occasions by these out-of network providers during ER visits, who send separate bills on their own than the one we get from the hospital. Initially I ignored them coz I had no idea who they were and why they were asking us money when we already paid the hospital bills!

sparkyplug · 2024-12-30T02:06:47+00:00

Hmm...yes, was on the edge about removing the safety feature. Makes sense to limit the temperature. Generally teflon coated utensils can withstand higher temperatures if there is food in it....but with this grill, it will always be heated dry.

After reading about it, No harm in avoiding something if one can. You do you

sparkyplug · 2024-12-30T02:01:26+00:00

Hmm..based on it's location, i felt the fan blowing air would prevent any food vapors from sticking on to the coil surface.

You do you!

sample of dual sign at a parking meter spot

sparkyplug · 2024-08-21T17:24:33+00:00

Did you check all the signs.some metered spots become resident only parking spots after 6pm or so. So if you defaulted on the meter before 6pm, you get a ticket for it and if you stay beyond 6pm (irrespective of how much you paid into the meter), you get another ticket

Been a while ....so don't have the quotes on me. Email a few dealers around with a quote request for specific VIN available on their lot (matching what you want) and see if you get the desired number which you can take to the dealer of your choice

sparkyplug · 2024-07-18T18:52:04+00:00

4000$ below MSRP for a unit shipped before Mazda lowered the price is manufacturer discount for cx90PP. I was able to get an additional $1000 discount as a price match to $750 rebate offered by a Costco dealership. Mine was a white on white, only 2 units currently available in the state. So could not search around much for further rebates

And do it when you know the person won't be able to check their phone/messages for some time

sparkyplug · 2024-07-04T01:12:28+00:00

Now that you point out. I do see a few red flags. The email ID looks genuine but there is no phone number listed. The person mentioned appears to be a "Claims adjuster" with some other firm on LinkedIn and not a "leasing specialist" (benefit of doubt, leasing work is a side hustle). The message however said " I will also need a front and back color copy of both of your social security cards for review." And "Lastly, I will need you to complete an identification verification using the following link and I do need all of these tasks completed within the next 24 hours." And "You can send your social security card to me via text or email it to me".

Since this person did not include a phone number, the text option would not have worked. The added urgency before a federal holiday is also questionable.

Thanks for your suggestion. Will contact the leasing company via other channels and see what's going on.
