We are looking to replace our current tub/shower which has a tile shower. It's hard to clean and is either leaking or will at some point. We want to switch to a shower with minimal leak risk and easy cleaning. We had a bath fitters rep come today-sounds like just what we need, everything is one...

Hey guys, I've had this problem for maybe 2 weeks- I go to sleep and as soon as I fall asleep wake up gasping for air. It can happen 5 times or more (maybe 20 in a row last night). Sounds like obvious sleep apnea, right? But it happens even if I am on my stomach or side. I don't typically snore...

Hey guys, So a couple of weeks ago I had some unauthorized charges on my credit card. Turned off card, no problem. A couple of days ago my wife saw some amazon charges on her card, I checked things I had ordered to be sure I did not accidentally use her card when ordering (I did not) so she...

Hey guys, for 2019 I need to start cooking again. I would like to find a cookbook that is stupidly specific. Many of the ones I have found so far say things like "add salt" when I don't really know HOW MUCH. any suggestions?

All, As I posted in an earlier thread I am at risk of being fired from my biotech job and am considering non-STEM career options. One opening I found was for a service advisor position at a local dealership. Someone had asked about this type of job previously (can't find the thread-people...

So I am not fired yet, but I think it is close. I work at a startup biotech. Got overwhelmed and made bad decisions. Completely my fault. Trying to find a new job before I get fired for real but am not sure if I can make it happen. I am thinking about getting a regular job. Something not in...

Hey guys, I've been fighting with trying to get my posture straightened out and looking for tips. I am basically too curved- head forward, stomach forward and rear backwards. Shoulders forward. I think this started long ago as a glum adolescent. My muscularature is good (a lot of things online...

EDIT: should have searched first and cannot delete now. Please ignore. Has anyone tried these? I typically clean (and wax) my car with the Meguiars Wash and Wax anywhere (I think they changed the name) as I very very rarely have the time for a proper detail. I was searching google for other...

Hey guys, I am looking for suggestions involving some rooty ficus trees. Here is the situation: we purchased our house (technically a free-standing condo) about a year ago. We have a good sized ficus tree in our front year, as does our neighbor (and many of the other houses in the complex). We...

Hi all, As of now it looks like my current ride ('97 subaru with 175k) has a head/head gasket issue. The shop that looked at the car isn't 100% sure if that is the problem, but after much googling I think this is correct. Repair will be about $2,500. Considering the age of the car and the...

Hey guys, I need some feedback- the shop where I took my car is stumped. Short version: My 97 subaru 2.2 will overheat randomly when I come to a stop, but will return to normal once I get up to speed. The heater does not work at this time but will work otherwise. Everything else works. Long...

Hey guys, I'm looking at tirerack for some tires for my wife's '05 Hydunai sonata gls. My question is very simple: do I get new tires which match what the tirerack computer says I need (205/55R16) or one's that match what is on the vehicle now (215/60R16)? I think I go with the size which is on...

Hello all, Several months ago I purchased a Hunter ceiling fan and after a lot of work on a too-short ladder and calls to tech support they sent me a replacement fan as the original does not work. They should be giving me instructions on how to return the broken unit to Hunter soon. My...

This weekend my mother had a minor health emergency, if that is a thing. Thankfully she was visiting my sister who was able to take her to the hospital and she is now recovering. My sister suggested we get my mother one of those remote "I've fallen and can't get up" buttons. Does anyone have...

The company I work for (a research institution) has a job posting that I am interested in. Although I like my current job the hours have become too crazy and the pay is pretty low. Normally one should notify your boss if you are to apply to a job like this but I am sure my boss will not be...

I need to remove a coating of HDMP from a painted (I assume clearcoat- it is silver like the rest of the car) part of my car. I want to be sure to not damage the paint. I was thinking to use mineral spirits. Any thoughts?

Not sure if I have automotive paranoia or denial about an expensive repair, so here goes! Usually when I drive I have just me or me with my (very small) wife in the car. A couple of weeks ago I had to give a couple of people a ride home (so four people total). I sat down first and was a little...

I have a side mirror that someone smacked with their door and punched a small hole in. I would like to replace just the outside of the mirror and keep the guts/glass. All I can find (new and used) is the whole unit. Is it possible to get just the outside? If so, what to call it? I tried "body"...

My friend was in an accident a couple of weeks. As I understand it this is what happened: she was driving through an interesection/overpass when someone coming off of the highway missed a yellow light, ran a red light and entered the intersection. My friend had a green light and hit his car on...
