I lose power A LOT where I live. It seems like many of us share this.

A whole-home generator is about $14k and I cannot make that work.

However DTE will install basically a transfer switch at your meter that you can attach your own generator to. Has anyone tried this or have any experience with it? I want to find a solution that doesn't break my bank.

There is something g else called an interlock, but I'm very ignorant to how these work and I'd want something easy that my family could use.

We are on Day 2 without power now and every storm brings about stress and anxiety and this seems like a solution that would work.

I have a PS5, my two daughters play on it in split screen mode. My niece has a Nintendo Switch. They can play Minecraft together no problem - but they can't talk to each other. Am I missing a setting? Or is this just not a thing that can be done in-game?

Thanks for any help or tips

I'm trying to help out a buddy who just booked a trip to WDW and was asking about MagicBands.

2 years ago when we went, the person who booked the trip was able to log into their Disney App and there was a pretty significant discount on MagicBands. I forget exactly what - but maybe like 30%. We were able to get 4 of them (all different and all the design ones) with that discount.

Does that still exist?

(And, I promise I am not crazy.... I'm a bit frugal with these things and already had a MagicBand from a previous trip and was just going to use that. The only reason I got a new one was because it was on a promotion. But that promotion was ONLY through the main person who booked the trip)

Okay all, so I'm in this group because I've peaked at 177/1?? And with some meds and lifestyle changes have gotten down to a regular 127/83.

We are taking a family trip to Disney World in a week and need some recommendations.

The Pros:

I love it there, my wife loves it there, my kids believe it's magical there

Lots of walking. Walking = great.

The cons:

This is a week vacation WITH my in-laws.

So, I'm on 10mg of amlodipine, for this week I'm thinking if I want to survive the in-laws I should up it to 100mg? Maybe more? Any other recommendations?

(Obviously this is satire.... but if it helps someone smile for a moment that is great. For a lot of us the saying is pretty true - laughter is the best medicine)
