Re: Garden Club - January 2019

ugh! Calling all tech savvy peeps!

My parents cable went out with the 5 in of snow sitting on top of their dish on their roof. How can my Dad watch the Chiefs game today? They have iPads..lol. Im no help to them.

I thought about spraying off their dish with a hose, but its 33 out and would freeze?? LOL.. help?

I'm not kidding - these days it is cheaper to feed them healthy real food than the healthy pet food.

Indeed - it's often fried chicken livers for the hound -- much cheaper than good dog food.

Dish's official line would tell you to go out there with a broom and gently knock the snow off (because if you throw the dish out of alignment, they will charge you for a service call to fix it).

 

They can alternatively check out a free trial for something like https://www.fubo.tv/ which specializes in sports or check out YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, PlayStation Vue (doesn't require a PlayStation, stupid name), etc if they have the channel the game is on (local channels vary amongst providers and locations).

YouTube TV has the free trial month. Just remember to cancel.

When we got hit by Hurricane Matthew and Irma all we did was readjust....I would call each time and ask for a ping. Just have someone, if at all possible, hold on to the dish while you scoop it off gently.

Will do! Finally boarded after literally half the flight pre-boarded including at least 4 emotional support chihuahuas. Roll 👀

 

No one next to me in 2C and nobody in 1C or 1D. Surprising after so many 100% capacity Delta flights.

Thanks for checking the link, everyone. Appears to be an issue with just me. Next questions is whether you have your reports on ice?


Mine are locked, but I am seriously contemplating freeze

The only one that worries me is EQ...to many horror stories about being unable to lift lock/freeze


I have no problems freezing and thawing. It was the initial set up of the account that was the problem. Took a couple days to confirm account was set up. They just forgot to tell me I would have to wait.

The hardest thing about using 2 different emails for credit cards is accidentally changing one that was supposed to stay on the same email as my walmart account to my primary email. Got it straightened out finally.


Having different emails for different accounts is helpful when you use Zelle to move funds between them.


Yes, if I had to do that, I will definitely consider it. 3 of my banks are local in Pahrump (2 1/2 because the One Nevada Credit Union closed their branch a couple years ago, but left the ATM so we can still use it). And for Discover Bank, I set it up so I can pull money from any one of my accounts when I need to.

Well, my son has shoveled me out, which is good.

 

I don't shovel snow if I can avoid it - I had a brother fall over dead at 48 years old shoveling snow.
