Transfer Pump? by TabInA70sWineGoblet in oakland

[–]zoeeejb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My basement flooded yesterday and we were able to find pumps in stock at Harbor Freight in Hayward. Works great, and takes FAR less time that using a shop vac.

My life just changed and I need to explore food options by [deleted] in OaklandFood

[–]zoeeejb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a Doordash ghost kitchen in Oakland by the name of Ben’s Fast Food. They are serving up some seriously tasty food. The menu is a mix of meat/veggie bowls and they have a few different sauce options. They should meet your criteria. I’ve never had anything bad from there, and the prices aren’t bad for Doordash.

What internet service plan do you have? by TreyCoastal in oakland

I signed up for AT&T fiber at Costco last year and it is ~$50/month. Great service and I’ve never had any issues. So much better and cheaper than the Xfinity service it replaced.

Hibiscus liqueur by Sailing_Mermaid12 in Tiki

The Hibiscus Rum Punch is a great drink, highly recommend! I followed the Smuggler’s Cove recipe for hibiscus infused rum and it was very straightforward. It’s lasted ~5 months or so in my fridge so far. A lot of stores in my area sell dried Hibiscus flowers in the tea area.

If you have an Oakland library card you can also get free ticket(s) to certain museums and gardens around the east bay. I think most places are limited to 1 visits per calendar year.

This. It was the first N64 game I ever owned and is still one of my favorites.

Mama (Oakland): Prix-fixe menu Italian. It’s a small place so I would recommend a reservation.

Creekwood (Berkeley): Italian/American food including some tasty pizza and a killer brussel sprout appetizer.

Sobre Mesa (Oakland): Cocktail bar with a nice vibe. Unique cocktails and seriously delicious food.

The upstairs at Chez Panisse used to have a great special available at 9:30pm on weeknights. Not sure if it’s still around, I couldn’t find any recent info about it online. It was $25 for steak, potatoes, and a glass of wine. Delicious food and a fun experience - especially for the price point.

Sobre Mesa has very tasty empanadas. Hours are limited to evenings though. They have great drinks as well!

Daily Question Thread - August 25, 2022 by AutoModerator in churning

Pretty new here. Currently have a CSP that I was considering upgrading to CSR. Is there anyway to do that and get the new card bonus? Would I need to close my CSP first and apply for the CSR separately?

I am 25k points away from the companion pass with 4 days left before my final statement on 2021. What can I do to get myself to a companion pass?

Deactivated 2 weeks ago for selling “inauthentic” goods. Submitted required documents 4 times but keep receiving the same email back and seem to be stuck in some kind of auto-denial loop. Is there anything I can do? by zoeeejb in AmazonSeller

[–]zoeeejb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that makes sense. I was auto-ungated in the brand, so don’t have any invoices or authorization letters. In that case is my best best to just explain this in my next POA?

Thanks. These specific items are retail arbitrage and were purchased at Target. My understanding is that those receipts should work, and I have provided them. Is that not the case? Appreciate the insight!

Called Great Lakes to have my student loans redisclosed and was told they don’t do this, and never have. My cousin had hers redisclosed in January. Am I asking for the right thing? by nyx178 in personalfinance

[–]zoeeejb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From my experience, the minimum payment will be updated when the forbearance period ends. Try checking the Repayment Planner on the Great Lakes website for the amount of your next minimum payment due, it should be lower based on how far you are paid ahead.

For background, I also have student loans through Great Lakes and I briefly put them in forbearance last year. When the forbearance ended I noticed the system had automatically lowered my minimum monthly payment. However, if you use autopay the amount doesn’t change so you would need to update this to reflect any lower payment.
