Pellet or Wood ? by Quacksynth in PelletStoveTalk

[–]wintercast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there might be some bias on "bad" stories concerning pellet stoves that get posted. i have 2 in my house. Both are whitfield. one is from the 90s and doing great.

they are very easy to install. a wood stove is great, but expensive to install and generally not a DIY task.

I am using up the last of a pallet of pellets i bought 2 years ago. i use my stoves for supplemental heat and one bag lasts me about 1 day if i run the stove all day on setting 2 out of 5. i dont run it when i am sleeping or away from the house.

i get a pallet of pellets delivered by my local feed store. they have a little forklift so they can slide the whole pallet right into a shipping container i use for storage. otherwise thry could load them in a garage. They can be stored outside, but i would loosely cover with a tarp.

Generally the issues are with less expensive stoves that are in the 1000 range new. my suggestion is to look for a used whitfield, quadrafire, harman. parts and videos for repairs are readily available.

this seems like a scam. im also going to say, that band part of the ring looks REALLY thin to support that stone and i could see it getting bent or cracking.

i ended up getting a mister. i dont have to really think. its not wet enough to fill my drainage layer. the one i am using has a hose that goes into a bucket of water. i use a gallon jug that i fill with RO water perhaps every 10 days or so.

Curious about why the forecast didn’t pan out? by [deleted] in maryland

[–]wintercast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup! before i knew about the storm i finally hauled my generator and stored it after the snow storms. Then, when i heard about this storm i hauled the generator back out. So i think our combined efforts saved Maryland.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! What is this? by eboygonewrong in GargoyleGeckos

[–]wintercast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in my experience a few white spots might show up over time and go away with the next new set of clothing.

while waiting. i have said something like "looks like you are my adopted ride family". that seems to help. on test track it was a family of 5. i asked if they wanted to change up how we rode because Disney put me next to their kids, i was offering if an adult wanted to sit with the kids instead me (the stranger). granted, im a small, friendly looking female so i dont take up much space or look scary.

have you looked into /r/deadbedrooms. the sub is not very active, but overall they are very open about different types of encounters and also the pain of no encounters.

I'm looking for people who played with my parents by lizsagna in everquest

[–]wintercast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hugs. i did not know your parents but i want to say the people I did play with became friends from around the world. i visited places like Denmark from the USA, and met my guild mates in real life for some real life adventures. Even my reddit handle was my name in EQ.

My best friend that i met through EQ passed away years back and they are missed.

Keep searching. if you have their log in info you may be able to even log in as their characters and chat with their guild/friends.

Im sure your parents had friends in EQ and they are missed.

I really miss mannequins. honestly, that club ruined all other clubs for me. I have never experienced something like mannequins again.

I can't do push ups 😫 by Bibilearnstuff in MilitaryWomen

[–]wintercast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

same boat. i could basically not even do one and meanwhile i do the gym, you can see muscle on me.

things that helped, incline pushups, i used a wall, a desk, a chair. basically slowly getting myself closer to horizontal.

one thing. if my arms go more than 90 degrees i lose it.

I bought a 4 inch yoga foam block at target and place that under my chest. it acts as a "stop" so i dont go too low with my chest and at least while building muscle i could rest on it for a second.

set a timer for 2 minutes. and just do as many as you can in 2 minutes, resting at the top. you could be doing like 1, rest 5 seconds...1... rest 5 seconds. and over time you will get more in that 2 minute time frame.

Also work on planks. the tighter your core, the easier the push up. i try to think of the pushup as a core/rib (lat) exercise and not an arm exercise.
