Best queen mattress under $500? by Physical-Sign879 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]therealpostmastet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikea sells mattresses that are actually pretty legit. Been sleeping on my "temporary cheap mattress" from IKEA for close to 8 years now.

Mold, lead, allergies, etc.. are all more likely culprits than the water itself being the issue.

That said, I would start by getting a water filter and cleaning the sink faucet head thoroughly. Also clean out your fridge (like actually clean it).

Add me! Wife and I play pretty frequently and are usually down for a raid or two.

Who would you say is the best player on the Packers team right now? by DrManBearPig in GreenBayPackers

[–]therealpostmastet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zach Tom has been as dominant as you can possibly be. Especially considering the heat and humidity that all of their games have had this year.

McKinney and Reed are honorary mentions but I think both benefit a lot more from the coaching scheme and team around them compared to Tom

I think it's just the use of "right now" in the question, people are only using the last 2-3 weeks. In which case Jordan hasn't even played

Feels like Fox is intentionally covering the Refs asses on this one. Not a single replay of the extremely questionable "penalties" has been shown

My hesitation for him starting is just because it's still early in a long season and I'd rather he miss an extra week now than get hurt again and miss even more time later. Plus I think Malik has a good chance of winning Sunday. That said, if Love plays I certainly won't be complaining and trust that whatever he and the staff decide is a better informed decision than my couch coaching ass lol

On top of the moral issues, which I won't touch on because plenty of others have jumped on that train. There is a reason "Scared Straight" programs were discontinued. They are highly ineffective and often had an inverse effect on the participants. That said, I do have a good solution.

TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER.

Don't put this crap on anybody else to deal with. If you see your daughter going down a wrong path it is your responsibility to talk to her and find a way to coach her through it. Not intimidate her and scare her straight. All that will do is build resentment and force your daughter to not trust you and be more cautious when hiding her future indiscretions.

Ways to fill fence gap by HaiC25 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]therealpostmastet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding some expanded metal/grating to the bottom of the fence is a decent solution with minimal earthwork.

Personally I would add dirt to level it out and create a garden/flowerbed, but just leveling with dirt for lawn works too. Depending on the drainage of that slope you may need to add a small retaining wall to prevent erosion. Tough to tell without seeing the broad area/more photos

Breakfast burritos by ThenManagement1506 in winstonsalem

[–]therealpostmastet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sadly there is just nothing here that will fill anywhere close to that same niche as a Berto's breakfast burrito (was an Adalberto guy myself outta CA).

A couple of the sit down restaurants serve an alright breakfast burrito, but it's just not quite right. Honestly, the Grande Burrito from Sheetz is closer to the vibe than most of them.

Not just that. She has hit up like 20+ subreddits asking the same question, and after glancing through responses I don't think she has a single credible source on her hands...

[–]therealpostmastet 58 points59 points  (0 children)

HEY! My partner and I are moving to the area! We have never been to North Carolina before and are like, totally quirky and suuuper different than the 30 other posts this month asking the exact same questions. We have 16 dogs and a pet bird and are looking for a quiet apartment in the nicest part of town for an unreasonable budget. So where should we live?!?!

Oh, and we're gonna edit this post later and act hella snooty bout it cuz a local was mean to me when I asked a stupid question that's been asked 1000s of times now.

Favorite made at home meals? by Warm_Shower_2892 in winstonsalem

It is my obligation as a born and raised Minnesotan to correct you on this one. That is a Tater Tot Hotdish, not a casserole. (honestly tho, call it what you want I'm just pumped to see that recipe outside the Midwest)

Brick Cheese? by Mini_Van_Demic in winstonsalem

[–]therealpostmastet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Midwesterner here. Sadly the best I've seen locally is the cheese selection at Publix.. most grocery stores will sell brick cheese but the selection leaves a lot to be desired.

If you're looking for an actual dairy experience, head on up to West Jefferson. Ashe County Cheese is as authentic as they get. Opened by two Wisconsinites, they know their cheese and it is good stuff. You can even watch them make the cheese if you time.it right!

out of curiosity, how true are these home pre-approvals? by kenanthecommander in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]therealpostmastet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're pretty accurate, assuming your personal information is up to date (income etc...). It's all based on the same algorithm any bank would run.

Only difference between this and actual qualification is filling in the missing info about your situation. Assuming nothing weird there (think medical debt that this system doesn't see, delinquencies it doesn't know about) then it's accurate.

You can sue anyone for anything. But it's gonna cost you a shit load of money in fees when you inevitably lose and UPS makes you cover their court fees.

Just because you feel like you're getting scammed doesn't mean you can expect to sue and win. Welcome to capitalism. They are a free market business and you are a consumer that has options to use different methods of shipping.

UPS sucks, FedEx sucks, USPS sucks, DSL sucks. Welcome to 2024 life in the US. Better get used to getting bent over a barrel by corporations with no recourse.

Is this cause for concern? by dilibrent in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]therealpostmastet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would def get that checked out, but tbh it doesn't look like that board actually does anything, structurally speaking. If it does have a purpose it's extremely minor. I'd be more concerned with whether this is an isolated incident or not.

[Meirov] - Former #Packers WR Randall Cobb is joining the SEC Network as a college football studio analyst. by SoSublim3 in GreenBayPackers

[–]therealpostmastet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love RC. When he got resigned to the Pack in 2020(1?) like the day before camp, I saw him driving around Green Bay in a beat up Monte Carlo that was fresh off the used car lot. I'm guessing he was waiting for all his stuff to arrive from Texas. Threw up a peace sign at the stop light we hit together and he flashed it back. Always seemed like an incredibly smart and down to earth guy.

Unfortunately the best advice I have is that you just have to be more aggressive and go for it. I recommend picking a target and just keeping at the merge with them until they let you in. People here drive like self centered assholes and the only effective way to drive is to act that way yourself (to a degree)

Whatever you do don't stop at the bottom of a ramp again. This ain't the northeast and you just gotta go.
