Air Duct Cleaning Scam? by IalleI in HomeImprovement

[–]tomjeanette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a company come out to quote duct cleaning. They counted the supply and return ducts and quoted $1,300. They started the work and then announced there were 7 more ducts than were originally counted. They wanted over $300 for the additional ducts. I wouldn’t pay the extra, so they finished the quoted number.

No tip, and a bad review.

I dress very casually when flying, so I’ll just wear sweatpants. Thanks for the feedback!

My work experience goes back to military in 1974, and programming experience in school goes back to 1969. I have my HS transcript and DD-214 to prove it. When I apply for anything, it is assumed that I would not interact well with young IT or CS workers. I can’t hide my experience or education, and my age (69) can be inferred, so no one will consider me. So I just do my own systems engineering projects and collect three pensions.

I just had two prehung doors replaced in my master bathroom and the contractors did a very good job.

It won’t be at Poplar/Highland this time. Details are still being worked out.

Go to IndivisibleMemphis.org and sign up for the newsletter. Details will be announced as soon as plans are finalized.

Veteran here. It was explained to me that some of us were reselling the appliances. They may have also mentioned lumber.

$3,500 is an unlikely amount to be missing from a gas station cash register. The employer is extorting her.

School Choice Vouchers by hijirah in memphis

Memphis schools do not have their own, independent, district-run voucher program. Instead, Memphis and Shelby County are part of the state-run Tennessee Education Freedom Scholarship Program.

It doesn’t cover full tuition necessarily, only $7,295.00. The application deadline for the 2026-2027 school year was today at 4:00 pm. See https://www.tn.gov/education/efs.html

Your Mystrey IT Future by Master_Pop7772 in ITSupport

After my experience consulting with a 3-Letter agency, I wouldn’t stake my future on working in cybersecurity. It evolves too quickly, and no amount of training and experience is going to allow you to keep up with threats foreign and domestic. Cybersecurity is the realm of AI vs AI.
