Dear @Apple you absolutely suck. Sitting here for hours because you won’t schedule on my performance cores and couldn’t be bothered to provide a way for me to do it.
@hkergrrl Drafts are evil! Every time I feel one I shudder at the thought of the effect on heating costs. Does your house still have old-style double-hungs with counterweights and aluminum storm windows? Mine are modern double-pane but at 35 years old the seals are not that great.
@slrichar2005 Sorry I don’t have an “alternate” means, either. Live is tough. If someone who’s in that area were to point their phone at their TV and video chat you … ?
@hkergrrl Yeah, plus even if rates come down, refi’s have closing costs. Still, though, it’s great to have that equity - anything from a credit line for home repairs to being set up for a nice nest egg someday when you two retire. 👍
@slrichar2005 I thought Paramount+ would help as it carries NFL on CBS games but it looks like it doesn’t give a choice and only airs the local game. The entire way the NFL deals with streaming is ridiculous. Pay money and still can’t watch the game you want to watch. Sorry.
@MarthaCreedon Wow, honestly did not think it would ever happen (the lease was back in 1999). I wasn’t thrilled with the encroachment by the insurance company in the old station but like how it was resolved with that short bit of retained historic track.
@brandnewwatch We updated the kitchen and bathroom and a lot of other updates but almost all DIY. Many friends updated their breezeways between house and garage to real rooms, one did a big add on after having several kids, and next door added a basement kitchen. Medium-small MA town.
@mvarmazis Not where I live. My only options are donation bins (which means items must be wearable) or … nope, nothing within the 50 mile search limit of the state tool for finding where to recycle textiles.
@hkergrrl Ooh, yeah, if the wood is that sun damaged that sounds like a great idea. And you won’t have to repaint/restain every several years, either. Good luck with the noise and the results!
@lizhmccarthy@CityofWaltham@MBTA I have no objection to stupid, ignorant people who go around the gates and past the bells and lights and trespass getting themselves splattered (though I feel for the engineer).
