Finally visited home after 10 years

I grew up right by Kearsley park. I left at the end of 2016, along with some of my family. Finally I was able to make my way back over the past few days. Though I’m back in Nashville now, the memories just hit me strong while I was there. It just felt surreal and I couldn’t believe I was there again. It was so nice.

Of course pictured here, I visited Kearsley Park and the 2 main malls now which are pretty bare. But I sure remember being a kid in the early 00s when Courtland was still busy. And of course stopped by Dort Mall. I finally visited Pete Flander’s Musical Memories. My dad frequented there over the years before he passed. I bought some of my first Pink Floyd CDs from there as well in the mid 00s when I was in HS.

I ate at Halo Burger. And Starlite too. Seeing remaining family there was also nice of course but I definitely plan to return soon!

How fucked am I? Delivery date passed and removed from site

It’s only a day past delivery date of 9/18, supposed to be delivered here in Nashville. Definitely not the worst experience anyone’s had with them including my own. I remember one time, I was awaiting a t-shirt in the mail and it literally took a month to get to me that was shipped only an hour away.

Will having a gap like this around my ceiling ac vent (not completely flush with ceiling) cause any damage to ac or cause anything else?

We just rented an older home and for whatever reason I couldn’t open the vent fully so I had to remove it from the ceiling altogether and now it’s fully open. I couldn’t remember if it was ever flush to the ceiling so when I put the vent back on it’s not flush.

Will this affect anything short or long term?

I’m hearing conflicting articles that state that raising cenAC set temp to 72+ can help reduce indoor humidity and also increase it. Which is it?

In my case it’s increasing it. It’s 95F with index of 105 here in Nashville at 11am. Outdoor humidity is 60 and I thought I’d be a good citizen and raise my ac from 70 to 72 to lessen harm on power grid. However in doing so, it’s increased my indoor humidity from 55 to 60.

According to Google it says to run a dehumidifier for this. But I don’t want to increase our electric bill.

We’re in a new lease on an older rental home fwiw.

Anyone want to sell their collections because the feel of the need to “upkeep” or clean them or keep them undamaged?

I’ve had OCD this past decade of my life and while at some points I started collecting CDs and Books and Box Sets, albeit a small collection, lately I just feel too drained to want to keep them and they just become dust collectors in my room. I don’t play them anymore. Most if not all is on streaming.

Anyone else feel similar?

What materials are my showers and what cleaners are safe to clean them?

I’ve always lived in places with a standard fiberglass shower stall. Always used stuff like scrubbing bubbles on them to clean.

We moved into new rental home and they have these types of walls with grout lines. What is the main material used here and what is recommended that I clean them with?

Don’t move into Pointe West apartments on Charlotte Pike

Roach infested buildings. We got rid of them very early on in our lease with gel bait but now about a month left in our lease, they’re back. Seems like gel bait, even the one with IGR won’t do anything now. Maintenance is shit and won’t do anything —they literally just mark requests as “complete” without showing up or anything.

We move into a rental house next month and though there is possibility that we will bring them with us, at least killing them could be easier without being attached to other neighbors.

Just thought I’d post here as I know there was some posts awhile back inquiring about these apartments.

Can you use the Bissell Crosswave hard floor sanitize solution in a wet/dry vac like the Dreame H12?

Obviously the manual to the H12 Pro says to only use their solution but I’ve read that sometimes people have had luck with using Bissell’s solutions for their different branded wet/dry vacs.

Main reason for me is that while the Dreame solution is on, it doesn’t smell nor sanitize. We’ve been having bug issues and am trying to thoroughly clean a bit more than I usually do.

Ate possibly undercooked turkey burger?

Bought and cooked some of the frozen Butterball 1/3 lb burgers. I cooked 2 patties in the same skillet on stove. Before I turned burner off it read about 135 so I just let them rest til they hit about 142. I was in hurry to get them cooked and their outsides were getting pretty blackened/crisped as well as the oil in pan and didn’t want to set off our smoke alarms.

I didn’t notice any pink on inside or anything. When would we notice any illness from these burgers?

Apple Watch refuses to play Apple Music. ( IPhone 16 Pro, Watch Series 10, iOS 26.5)

I’m subscribed, synced, turned off both iPhone and watch and it either gives me the dumb “requires subscription” message on the watch or it just does nothing when I hit play on a track and sometimes will randomly scroll through all the tracks and then does nothing

This is supposed to be something that just works but doesn’t.

Took a risk, crossing fingers.

My fave band, I thought it would be neat to have. The seller has some other signed stuff but not much. Has other unsigned stuff as well and general kitchenware stuff listed. No CoA mentioned but I realize not everyone could have had time to go through process to get it verified so I guess it’ll be on me to do that legwork. Question is what is the easiest way to do so once I get it?

I’m not an expert on forecasts but can someone explain why TWC lists us in Nashville as having severe potential Thursday despite being outside risk zone on SPC?

I notice that usually TWC lists us with “severe potential” on any given day’s description as long as it aligns with being included in the SPC risk zone.

However I’m not seeing it this time. Is there a reason for this or something in the forecast technical details I’m missing?

I just bought some bands (beginner, Male/5’5/150lbs). What weight size do I need to be using?

So I’m scrolling and trying to find some good “full body” resistance band workout videos for beginners like me to use with the over-the-door bands to shed some fat, but one thing I notice in common with them:

none of the videos mention what weight of band they are using with the exercises they do. And sometimes they switch bands without saying why (will band break if I use with some exercise and not others?)

Anyway, sorry for what could be a repeated question in this sub.

In search of a dog water bowl, What do you recommend?

For a small 8 lb dog, I'm just learning that I should be switching to something stainless steel to prevent bacteria. I've always cleaned out the plastic one I have currently, but noticed our girl doesn't seem to drink from it as often as I'd like her to. Her current one is also a plug-in fountain type that requires filters every week or so.

I've been eyeing this one, as well as this one

I'd like to get one where the cord (if I get one that is coreded) isn't permanently attached to the bowl thus making cleaning difficult. And the less pieces/filters to clean the better.

Any suggestions and what I should watch out for? I've been seeing ones that are filter free too, and instead, they separate dirty from the clean water and not recycle the same water.

Couple here looking for a good 3 bed apartment, close to public transit.

We’ve been looking at properties around the area, and looking at Grandea Crescent Park apartments. Anyone familiar with them?

Only one car with us and we both work at different places so next to public transit is ideal. We’re coming from Nashville after 2 years. Originally from the smaller town of McMinnville.

Send me your suggestions!

Anyone with a wet/dry vac like Dreame H12 Pro, how do you air dry the clean water tanks with such a small opening? Trying to prevent mold/smells.

The clean water tank has only a quarter size opening to fill with water. No matter what way i angle it to air dry after emptying it’s taking longer to dry then the main dirty tank.

Cap 1 at our store is just a mess

Can never be on process without being pulled to help with candy pallets, produce, ODP, and if not that, we’re tasked with cleaning off JUNK topstock carts all day, either full of trash, or ON overstock. Communication is low and definitely not what I’m used to compared to other stores.

I’m just done with it. Hoping to transfer soon to hopefully a better store, if not get into something else entirely.

As a cap 1 associate it pisses me off because if we don’t vizpick they get more and more nil picks. Literally every other day I’m actually put as OPD on the schedule.

A lot of people at our store are getting hours cut, so ya they may be trying to just give me the hours but even when I’m there they’re just hounding people to get into pick walks and for cross trained people from other areas to join.

Anyway I hate the system.
