IDT/Ameren door to door

I just had a couple of guys at my door from IDT asking to see my Ameren bill, claiming that they needed to check to make sure I wasn’t being overcharged. Seemed fishy to me, so I put them off. After they left, I checked Reddit and saw some past posts about it: IDT is a third party supplier and they do this to get you to switch. Maybe not exactly a scam, but they were definitely not being forthright about what they were doing

Clock repair?

Is there anyone in the area who repairs old clocks? We have an old electric Seth Thomas clock that we’ve relied on it for ages, but it recently stopped working ☹️

Goodwill score!

In an effort to diminish reliance on streaming platforms, I’ve started re-building a physical media collection. Today I was thrilled to find this dvd set of the OG Brideshead Revisited

Seth Thomas repair

My husband got this ST clock from a movie theater where he worked in the 1980s. It finally stopped working recently and I can’t find anyone in our area to repair it. I was wondering if this could be a diy project? We’re both pretty handy. Or if there was a way to convert it to a battery. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I can’t even begin to say how many times a day I look to check the time on it!

What’s eating my river birch?

We planted a river birch several weeks ago and it was doing great until this weekend when we discovered many of the leaves eaten and a black substance (I’m guessing poo) on some leaves. We haven’t seen any insects. Is there a way to save it? Thanks for any advice!

Donate computers?

I have a desktop and a tablet that aren’t all that old and still work fine but are Windows 10 and can’t be updated to 11. Is there anywhere locally that I could donate them?
