    What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

    Sorry to hear that Waho but I fully understand his quality of life issue. I'm probably as positive about that subject as anyone. Having watched my poor father suffer through months of lingering on, fast is very positive.

    Yeah Waho, for the price you can't beat it. I didn't have it too bad on my decks since when we built them we made the railing illegal (nice avoiding township inspections) so that I could push the snow under the railing rather than having to lift it all. No babies around to crawl under the...

    I bought one of these Snow Joe's last year. Best investment I've made for awhile. On deeper snow you'd have to run it over the top and cut it into layers but up to 6" it just blows it out of the way. I did my front deck today, with no effort at all, in about 5 minutes after I ran the...

    FC, we're going down to the -10 wind chill tonight so I know how cold you guys are going to get. I'm trying to get the snow cleaned up before the temps get too low today. We're currently to 15 and after cleaning up the 100 yards to the road, some of the parking area and raking the snow off my...

    For all those in the snow belt.

    Feeling for you guys out in the heartland, between the snow and the cold, it looks miserable for the next few days. It looks like we'll get some of the cold and a little snow but most appears to be going up FC's way.

    Waho, they say they cover the tickets, how about the deductibles? Rebel, looks like you have no problem, you can just stay at work. lol Not my idea of a fun day either way or either place.

    Darn, don't know how I missed all those pictures. Looked real inviting right about now. When I got done with my day, my body ached and my feet were frozen. The electric company took down this dead 30" at the base 50 foot or so tree across the street and I worked on the easy part, the top ten...

    I retired too early. Within a couple years of my retiring, people started working from home on a regular basis. Of course I was still battling connectivity issues at that point too with only Hughesnet available, but avoiding that one and a half to two hour commute (even working off rush hours)...

    Freemax Twister kit review by hittman

    This is like a flashback to vaping when the tube mod was the thing and to the 60s flower child era. A 21st century remake of a '67 Stingray with '19 tech stuff. Not sure if I like the built in battery thing but I just bought a Smok Nord so maybe I shouldn't complain. Great review Hitt!

    Fireplace reassembled and it looks good. Even took out a couple of the air tubes and dropped the baffle and insulation and cleaned that out, pretty dirty. The only issue now after allowing the filled hole to dry for two days and then putting another 1/4 to 1/2 inch over the previous 4" hole...

    OMG! I just googled around. First, snus is banned (all smokeless) for sale n Australia. Found a reddit where they were talking snus cost a year ago. Three people posted. Two said around A$22 for a 24g tin and one said he paid A$61. Then I checked cigarettes and it said the proposed cost...

    Welcome to the dark side Doffy! My jaw dropped when you said you were paying a dollar a gram for snus! So you're paying something like A$28 or about $20 US for a can? That is outrageous. What are they selling a pack of cigs for there? I'm pretty sure when I visited there on a business...

    I don't always but I have Lifelock monitoring for me and I always check before I go in for a loan since they're going to be checking it. I like to be able to quote it right before they go to check. Don't know why but figure if they don't jive we'll have a conversation.

    Life is all good again but I still don't understand what they do. Lost between 70 and nearly 100 points on my score when I bought my Escape then it went back up at the end of December, before my first payment went in. I'm just happy to see that 800 plus again.

    Waho, my parents home was the worst for that as well as drifting snow. I can remember my father clearing it out two or three times per snowstorm with the drifting. The end of the drive was always those frozen chunks and too deep to even think of driving over. The last time I cleared it for my...

    Rebel, my advise is buy a new snowblower. My new one seemsa to be working pretty good, if not perfect.

    Bought a tub of refractory cement to try to get the back slab of my fireplace safe enough to burn again, before the new piece arrives. Not sure how well it will work as the slab is very fragile. I filled the hole this AM and the set time is 24 hours. Tomorrow, I'm going to build up the hole...

    Hitt, I'm pretty sure Tivo has a monthly charge. Some of the services like Directv Now and Hulu Live TV have free DVR with some space limits. That's one thing I'm nuts about. I DVR like a mad man, especially at night. Hate waiting for commercials to end so I'll be recording and jump between...

    Yeah Hitt, I think this is 5 years straight now. Our small family keeps getting smaller with me sitting as the elder at this point. Burnie, wouldn't it be easier to just get something like Hulu live or Directy now. I know I'd need to get one that's available in my area that carries Philly...
