I switched from T-Mobile to Mint. I got the eSIM when u switched. I have my old T-Mobile SIM cards. Is there any reason to keep them?

My wife and I are buying our first popup. We found a nice used Jayco that would be perfect for our family and for towing with our Honda Odyssey.

Our only concern is that the pull out beds are Double Beds (75”). I’m 6’ tall and she is 5’10”.

How can we make the double bed feel roomier and not so tight? I was thinking we could stuff pool noodles between the bed frame and the canvas to help push the canvas out a couple inches on each side.

Any tricks?

I’m setting up my 12v 100ah lithium battery so I can use it to charge phones and tablets during power outages. Electronics really confuse me and I’m trying to learn so I’m starting with something simple.

I’ve looked at getting a small (pure sine wave) inverter which could charge plenty of devices. But I’ve also read that inverters aren’t that efficient and you lose some power by using one. That probably isn’t a problem in the long run?

Since I’m only charging usb powered devices, would it be better to get a usb charging panel like they make for an RV or car? Would that be directly connected to the battery and more efficient than the inverter?

Thanks for your help!

I need a sleep study. So I called Blue Shield and the lady I spoke to did not know what a sleep study was or what sleep apnea was. I had to explain it three times over the course of a half hour on the phone. Then it took her another half hour to find someone who would provide a sleep study for me…except it was a Psychiatrist in my town that isn’t working here anymore! I don’t even know if a Psychiatrist can order a sleep study!

So is there a better way to talk to insurance instead of wasting hours on the phone?

I get it. A boat trailer is more valuable than your old crusty Ski Nautique that “ran when parked” 20 years ago.

But don’t waste our time with 37 phots of the boat and trailer if you’re not selling the trailer with the boat!

I see more and more listings and the description is like “This is a wooden box made of wood. It is painted blue and has a knob on the lid for opening. There is also a dog in the background”.

Like cmon. I can already see your photo. Tell me something useful about your item! Dimensions at the least!

AI Sucks.

The last paw patrol movie (the mighty movie) was pretty good and had a decent story with the challenges and struggles Skye faced since she was a little pup. I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn’t have that high of expectations for the Dino Movie, but dang, Marshal deserved better! Like, he is clumsy and thats his gag in the show. But Marshal is ALWAYS one of the best pups when it comes to a rescue. And the movie makes his clumsiness a hindrance to doing his job. Which just isn’t a thing! He’s really good at his job! It’s before or after his job when he’s goofing around with the other pups that he does something clumsy.

Also, the movie was full of big name voice actors. I saw snoop dog and terry crews. But they barely got any screen time.

Anyway. It’s not a terrible movie and your kids will probably love it. Mine did.

My 8 year old daughter gets pretty smelly after a hot day at school. So far it’s not been a problem but I’d like to avoid any teasing from her classmates.

For some reason I am on the fence about deodorant. Maybe it’s because she’s young? Maybe I’m worried about the aluminum? Idk.

Someone suggested antibacterial soap for bath/shower time. That seems to help but we don’t shower every day.

What about an antibacterial wipe for her armpits?

Any other suggestions?

I have my local distance set to 30 miles but I see a ton of ads for things out of state because the Ad has the shipping option on. But here’s the thing. I’m looking at boats and trailers. Nobody is shipping a trailer for $11.95 across the country!

Even if I look in my Local tab I still see listings that “ship” from way too far away.

Craigslist has very specific regions and I wish Marketplace would work like that.

I have three kids. An 8 year old and twin 4 year olds. I was setting up a water color painting craft for them. My 8 year old and my girl twin will happily paint for 10-20 minutes, Very carefully and very slowly.

By the time I’m done passing out all the trays of paints and salt dough ornaments, My twin boy has already declared he is done painting his first thing and has grabbed three more things to paint while spilling his paint water, changing seats three times, grabbing 5 towels to clean up his mess and tripping over his own feet. He probably has adhd.

But I get so easily frustrated at this because he doesn’t take his time and I know he’s 4 and he can’t. But good lord he needs to slow down a bit. I can’t give any attention to my other kids because I’m constantly watching my little chaos monster.

What can I do?

At the beginning of Mt. MomandDad the family walks in the door carrying gift shop bags with all sorts of things you’d find at a theme park (like bubble wands?). And Bandit says something like “we’re not going to CrazyLand again”. So they clearly just got back from a theme park.

Is there an Australian theme park they are referencing or is it just made up? I see a few theme parks in Australia, just wondering if they’re referencing a specific park.

The yellow Suzuki is a character in itself and I think it was a perfect match for Jimmy early on. But once Jimmy had some money…WHY didn’t he get a new car? There were so many opportunities to get one. Instead he used the company car from D&M then back to his Suzuki then once that falls off a cliff…he RENTS a Ford Taurus?

So I get that the cars represent an element of chaos in his life, but why do you think he never bought a new or used car in better condition? He clearly had money for it. I thought there would be a scene at some point where he buys the LWYRUP Cadillac, kinda bummed there wasn’t.

I watched Breaking Bad last year and finally got around to BCS this summer. It was so good!

When I watch a show, there’s usually an actor or two who don’t quite fit or maybe their acting skills are a little green. I don’t think there was a single actor or actress in this show that didn’t step up to their roll 100%! Except Jeff. He needs some work.

Oh and I will say that Aaron Paul redoing Jesse didn’t quite land. But that’s not Paul’s fault. He’s much older and the Jesse character is unique to that younger version of himself. I still liked that he was in it though.

Did anyone else think the RV was ridiculous? It looks like they built an RV set instead of using a real RV. The RV scenes looked huge, like you could play football inside the thing. Compared to BB where it felt cramped. No big deal, just thought it was funny.

One question about the ending. So Jimmy threw away the 7 year sentence in an effort to bury Saul, right? Did he also do that to try and protect Kim? I couldn’t quite tell what was happening when he started confessing everything and why he wanted Kim there. Was he just clearing his conscience or…?

I’m watching through the show for my first time and I just finished S6 E9 where Kim leaves Jimmy.

After she leaves, Jimmy is in a lavish house with lots of gold decorations. I know there have been flashbacks(?) to this house in other episodes. What is this house? Does Jimmy have a new place or is this a daydream of his imagination and how he sees himself?

Also when he gets to his office, it’s the Constitution office, not the Francesca office. When does that change happen or was the Francesca office a daydream as well?

I’ll be finishing the show in the next week or so and if I should just wait for the answers to avoid spoilers, I will do that. But this was just too confusing.

Thanks!

My 7 year old (almost 8) has been having a good summer. We’ve done a lot, but still have plenty of downtime. Recently, she’s started having full meltdowns when we decided to do something new or different.

Like we went camping this weekend, which was fine, but then we said we would go on a short hike and she just started crying and not wanting to go. It’s literally a half mile boardwalk path on the beach. Once we got there she had a good time.

Now today, I thought I’d mix things up and take our kids to the splash pad. That caused another meltdown. She just wants to play in the driveway with our sprinkler. The thought of going away from the house is overwhelming!

We have twin 4 year olds as well. They are a lot and annoy their big sister all day long. So it might be part of the issue that she just needs her own space and doesn’t want to feel like I’m dragging her along with the little kids?

Any ideas?

We held some chicks and they pooped on my new shirt. No big deal. I treated the spots and washed my shirt but the spots were still there. Then I used floor spot cleaner and that helped but I can still see a faint spot.

Any tips?
