Great to see you back J5! We were worried about you!

Here's a wake up tune for ya Oz

Love that Video Bo.

Thank you for your concern. You are the best. I had some thinking to do and I thought I would keep my big opinionated trap shut while I was thinking.

Here's a good tune to wake you up.

 

[Ozwald]

I make bagels not donuts. Lots and lots and lots of bagels. (Actually only 14 dozen last night which is probably the smallest number I'll ever do).

Donuts are icky.

As I said in another forum I ordered the parts and my next project is going to be The Buzz Pro-ficient. I am using my old Buzz Pro that bit the dust for the last time and I'm converting it into a variable volt/watt PV with LED display. I love my Buzz pro and wanted a variable volt/watt PV so what better than incorporating the 2.

Ugh Speaking of allergies. Sadie is getting them Bad. Red from her little paws in the front and the rears. Her armpits are getting red and when you scratch her back, her foot goes into a Chun-li super kick. I just got her some Bendryl today. Hopefully it takes the edge off

 

[5cardstud]

Poor doggy. I hope she feels better soon buddy.

Speaking of poor dogs the poor Bucs are probably feeling like Sadie today. Falcons Bucs game 56-14 and the 14 points didn't hit the board until way in the 4th 1/4. The Bucs could.t do anything right and the Falcons couldn't do anything wrong. 4 or 5 personal fouls.

 

[Bovinia]

Sounds like a fun project J5

Ugh, Chase gets the itchy feet too, and the dry skin this time of year. I'm feeling the aftermath of whacking down all that ragweed from yesterday...my head is a snot factory today, even after allergy meds.

 

[Bovinia]

I was just down in the basement finishing up some laundry and told Katie I should get some pipe insulating foam tubes to put on the out and return water pipes from the boiler heat, to help save on the gas bill. Her answer, "I don't want to spend any money, it stays above freezing in the basement."

The poor woman has no clue about keeping the water hot in the tubes

 

[Ozwald]

If you leave them uninsulated, then it heats up the air around the pipes. Then the copper pipes get warmer cause they're surrounded by warm air. And if the copper pipes get warmer from the air, that heats the water up a little bit which saves gas. Right?

 

[Bovinia]

I'll prolly buy some and wrap them anyway, the stuff isn't expensive. We keep the thermostat set at 66 in the winter and she's still getting hit with $200+ gas bills during heating season. I looked at the pipes as they run thru the attic, and they are wrapped. She just doesn't understand that keeping the water warmer as it circulates gives more heat on the outflow, and keeps the boiler from kicking on as often when the return water gets back to the boiler. The house itself is pretty tight, $20 worth of the foam should be plenty.

I was laughing so hard that tears were literally flowing.

WELCOME BACK, J5!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY ARE NOT!

You go, Stud. mod that thang.

Jordan too, Isaac. We do the Benny-squirt with her and it works. She's not crazy about it, but it stops the hacking.

Poor doggy. I hope she feels better soon buddy.

I know you're not into Fantasy Football, buy my Julio Jones had a rather monsterish day. That makes me happy.

"Well, WHOOPSIE there, Katie-lady. Frozen pipes? Well I'll be damned. Who knew???" ;-)

Party pooper.

DP Thanks buddy.
That is a funny video.

Well <--- (There's that word again) I have someone in CA. having themselves a hayday racking up charges on my CC. I went to the bank and the nice lady that talked me into getting that card says "you have to call the number on the back." I call the number and the machine can't get my cc# when I speak it or type it so they transfer me to an operator. I get a recording that says we're too busy call back in a few hrs. So I try to dispute the charge online and that computer won't or can't work either.That's why interest rates are so high.

Welp (<--- and there's that), just to put all of your minds at ease, no it is not me!

Stud, I'm happy your day of thinking has transformed into a day of posting. I do not like it when you're not here... even if I'm not. So there.


I'm proclaiming this itchy scratchy love day. Celebrate it in any way that fits.

For whatever its worth, Bank of America is AWESOME when it comes to charge disputes. I couldn't ask for better support. And immediate at that.

OK! Scratchin'!

 

[5cardstud]

I'm a scratching fool. I love scratching what itch's.

DP I just got back from my third trip and I read them the riot act. I have been with them for a very long time but like I told her. Chase will give me $150.00 to go with them. She said it's friday evening and that's the busiest time for them. I said so what your telling me is I can get good service here except for fri night. I'm sorry but Bank of America has always been at the bottom of my list. It must be better over there. My daughter uses them and I went in to cash a check last week. When I finally made it to the window I told the nice lady "I have never waited that long at any bank in my life" She said really, this is one of our slow days. I think I was the only one there that spoke english besides her. I'm sure it was just that branch though.

Night, Frannie

And J, all I know is that anytime I initiate a dispute, they credit the money immediately. As in while I'm on the phone still. That's it - couldn't be a better deal as far as I'm concerned. No questions asked. They initiate an investigation, the a few weeks later I get a letter saying they've concluded. Perfection.

 

[DPLongo22]

"Went to cash a check?" Hmmm.... I remember that ;-)

 

[Bovinia]

Sweet dreams Fran

I was with Chase Mastercard for close to 30 years, never had a problem with them if I had a dispute. BoA...well I have no love for them, but that's a long, ugly, ex husband story story.

Oh, forgot to ask if anyone uses and like the wide bore drip tips? I got the prettiest rainbow drip tip, and was all excited for it to get here...until I got it. I didn't notice when ordering that it was a wide bore, it's damn near wide enough to stick my pinky in! It's sucking on a cigar (shut up DP!!) It's "F" on the far right...

 

[5cardstud]

They are pretty Bo but like you I'm not a fan of the wide bore. They look like the ones I see on them RBA's.

DP I think the branch I spoke on deals with mostly south of the border people. I've never had a problem in the 20 yrs. I've been with US Bank either until today. But hey at least I have proof it is thier problem now and if they don't mind people taking their money so be it. There was a couple huge cc companies that got jacked last week and I think that's what this is all about..
