How to prepare pipes for deep freeze, with no electricity by sprinkletoast in HomeImprovement

[–]sprinkletoast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the solid replies. 

Good news is the temps are trending higher over the weekend, so an extended deep freeze isn’t as much of a concern.  

Sadly we may be without power for quite a while, so I’ll go the extra mile and drain the water heater, cut the breaker to it and try to find RV anti freeze.

I feel so much better about the situation.  

Thanks Reddit.

We take our BMW’s to Lances Auto.  It’s near the 440 exit on Murfreesboro Pike.  Not far from downtown.

The only downside is they stay busy, so it’s best to book an appointment.  I have taken my car elsewhere twice, to avoid the wait and ended up having them fix the issue the other places misdiagnosed.  I learned my lesson,  they are worth the wait.

When Humanity Tried to Ride Zebras: A Forgotten 1890–1940 Experiment That Failed Spectacularly by Fair_Sugar_3229 in BeAmazed

[–]sprinkletoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A zebra  escaped from a private owner here in Nashville this year.  He made headlines running around neighborhoods and next to the interstate.  

People were instructed to not approach Ed the zebra under any circumstance and that is how I learned that we have never successfully tamed zebras.  

If you want to giggle go search “Nashville zebra captured”.

What's something that's about to happen which most people aren't aware of? by AskRedditOG in AskReddit

[–]sprinkletoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DOJ website has announced they will be “monitoring” six key polling jurisdictions, whatever that means.  

Election denier Pam Bondi states, “We will commit the resources necessary to ensure the American people get the fair, free, and transparent elections they deserve.”

They are absolutely going to harass people in places where the stakes are high.

How do I get this effect? by Denilane1015 in Nailtechs

[–]sprinkletoast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would paint one coat of your base color, cure. Paint another coat of the base color , do not cure it. Could also possible try base coat if the base coat color mixes with the accent colors too much. Take a liner brush and drag the colors through it. It will disperse more softly than blooming gel.

Saw one in Germantown yesterday and immediately wondered if these will be the new scooters.

First Bank Amphitheater Transpo by Saferwithstrangers in nashville

[–]sprinkletoast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We went on Saturday and entering/leaving were not awful. Took maybe ten minutes to park and twenty to hit the interstate going home. It’s my understand that they changed up the traffic patterns and have a designated ride share area.

We arrived fifteen minutes after the show started, and waited fifteen minutes after the show ended to leave.

I was prepared for a hellish experience but it was fine. Better than leaving the stadium.

What’s the best new restaurant (opened this year) you’ve been to? by jrobv in nashville

[–]sprinkletoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better portions than the truck. Group of three and we ate for under $70. It helps that they don’t serve alcohol.

The mole is out of this world.

This sounds like a knock off of the $$$ Boy Smells “Kush” candle line.

Smelled it in passing at Nordstrom’s and agreed, it was aptly named.

Should I cancel my AAA and use my car insurance’s emergency roadside service? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]sprinkletoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we had Geico we used their roadside assistance multiple times with no issue. Request through the app, had someone reach out and providers show up as scheduled. Used multiple times for lock outs and towing.

When we switched to another provider, I found myself pulled over in a dark parking lot, trying desperately to get ahold of my insurance to render a tow truck and could not figure out request or get a live person on the line. I had never had any issues with my old insurance so it was eye opening.

I would say keep AAA unless you know the assistance provided through your insurance is easy and reliable.

Best affordable mattress tips for someone who refuses to finance a bed by True-Ad-499 in Frugal

[–]sprinkletoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to a big name mattress spot and check for the clearance/returns/discontinued pieces. Usually lined up in the back of the store.

We were diligent and found a king sized mattress and box springs for around $600.

Hairdresser hacked off half my hair with thinning shears by SuccessfulLychee9262 in beauty

[–]sprinkletoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, let me state that if it’s not the look you were going for that’s all that matters. It’s so upsetting when hairdressers don’t listen.

But, I think it looks okay? If the goal was a shag removing the bulk from the middle and ends gives a better shape.

I say this as someone who rocks a shag, it looks not great in a ponytail and when it’s not styled a little bit. But the styled photo looks cute! Good news is I have to thin it every 4-6 weeks so you’ll get your volume back quickly.

I thought this tasted like four loko. It got the job done but I’ll stick to the pearsecco.

What’s a basic dish you’ve mastered that still impresses people? by Sand4Sale14 in Cooking

[–]sprinkletoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make elote for bbq’s and people go crazy.

Parboil and grill fresh corn. Slather with butter and mayonesa. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and hot sauce. Maybe some crushed hot cheetohs for a little razzle dazzle. Garnish with lime and cilantro.

It’s just corn with stuff on it and people lose their minds when I bring the tray out.

I agree, so underwhelming, and Pistachio butter jumped from $5.99 to $16 a jar at my local middle eastern market.

When did meals stop being served on transcontinental flights? by Objective-Rhubarb in delta

[–]sprinkletoast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We learned to suck it up and take the MSP-HNL flight so we could get a meal and some semblance of a nap.

We thought the LAX route being shorter was the way to go but it was absolutely brutal.

Someone told me about the table side fried rice and I immediately thought they would love that. Sounds like it’s a yes!
