I had a few thousand in savings and sold my Corolla. Everything went to my Mom after my Dad passed away, but she in's a 24 care facility so us kids look after the estate. Estate money pays for repairs/upgrades to house, I pay for everything else while I live here (my choice).

Contrary to all the forecast models we so far have had a relatively mild second half of winter. Started out bitter cold with some decent snow but it's kinda just fizzled out. Of course we are not out of the woods yet as this area is know for unpredictable weather events.

Hal-9000
02-18-2018, 11:05 PM
Our prediction was worst winter in the past 8-10 years. Pre Christmas we didn't get much and it was humorous.

then it all changed the week before Christmas...I've been listening to the city traffic reports and there's been hundreds of collisions and getting around in just my hood is a trial.

We set a record for snowfall in February and the month isn't finished yet.

I can take the cold and work through the snow if it's occasional, but this year has had too much of both.

Sorry to hear GF. I just went through that with the vendor/UPS because they dropped the envelope on the step in -30 weather and didn't attempt to ring the bell, knock or put the envelope in the mailbox.

I lucked out because I was up and reading my email when I got one saying the package had been delivered at 8:10 am...and I was reading it around 8:15 am.

Long one short, unless you otherwise designate the courier can 'assess the safety of the neighborhood' and drop at his discretion.

She has a bunch of registered items there that may need action and she's in a home. Us kids have POA over everything and there's multiple notes on all of the accounts explaining the situation.

So the guy still wants to talk to my Mom...over the phone...about her accounts and won't disclose much to me after I explain.

Then I drop his manager's name who I've had multiple meetings with, and suggest he talk to him and not canvas seniors over the phone about their banking needs.

I've thought about getting a security camera or two for out front of my place because I worry about this all the time. Doesn't help that UPS and FedEx make absolutely no attempt to even try and hide the package a little. It's always sitting right there in the middle of the steps when I get home. :meh:

That's what really pisses me off. I have a big patio at my front door, with a wide alcove right beside it. If they'd put it just a foot right of the door you'd never see anything walking by from the street. How hard is that to do? Do I need a fucking doormat with an arrow for the delivery person to place packages in the alcove? I thought common sense would be enough.

Put a sign up that says "Packages in alcove, please". Then you can have hours of video of delivery drivers saying "what the fuck is an alcove" and leaving them in the same spot as now.

Like the TV antenna I ordered. It has a power booster that can be powered by the USB outlet on a TV or a normal power adapter plug in. Yet the list of included items didn't mention the power adapter. The cord is 16.5 feet long, yet some people complain about antennas because the cord is only 9 or 10 feet long.

If you're more than 25 miles from broadcast antennas you likely would be better off with an outdoor antenna.

It's worth a gamble at $28. I went to one of those warehouse clearance places and got this GE antenna - about $40. It's an Attic antenna and I haven't mounted it to the attic, but left it hanging in the living room. We have a valence for the curtains and it (largely) hides behind it

I've a motorized directional antenna (amplified) up on the island, I have it on a 10 foot mast attached to the ridge end of the roof, I found a map that lets you zoom into google earth and it puts in the lines pointing to every broadcast tower in every direction. It really helped me figure out the optimum place to point it without using a compass. I simply use real world sight line landmarks I can see on the map. Currently I'm picking up channels from Cleveland (60 miles) Toledo (40 miles) and a few from Detroit (50 miles).
It works out well because if a channel like Fox drops out from Cleveland due to weather I can usually just re adjust and pick it up elsewhere.

All in all pretty impressive for a budget $25-35 antenna.

Hey GF, hope the balls resting comfortably.

Something interesting about a courier that Amazon.ca uses. Intelcom Express is one of the worst delivery companies on the planet.

There are no less than five threads on Reddit complaining about them. The most prominent being 'An open letter to Amazon regarding Intelcom'.


:lol: I'm sorry...here's some of the complaints:

Drivers keep packages for days if they don't feel like driving to certain areas of the city.

Customers in western Canada will be shown online that their package is out for delivery in Quebec.

Tracking will indicate delivery completed with a signature, and the driver will sign for the customer.

Emailing and calling will result in no responses. One user attempted eight phone calls and sent 14 different query emails.

Drivers will deliver to incorrect addresses, sometimes to other quadrants of the city.

Deliveries include dropping package off on a random step and the driver taking a picture to verify it was dropped.

Deliveries to apartment complexes will be left outside the building or on the lobby floor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reason I brought this up is because I recall you telling us about someone stealing your delivery. By the looks of things people have been canceling their Amazon Prime accounts because of this courier.

I just ordered a cheapo indoor TV antenna because I had to cancel cable and PVR rental from Telus. To my horror I clicked the tracking button on my email and it was 'in transit' through Intelcom :lol: My progress bar said 'optimizing delivery' which is a common thing to see using their wonky tracking system. It means you're fucked :lol:

Long story ended, it said my thing would get here Weds...I was at home and it got here Weds.

Read some of the Reddit threads. There's so many complaints you can skim and read a few hundred :lol: Reason it's funny to me is we used to use 17 different carriers at my old job. From Fed-Ex and UPS on down to Joe's Cartage out of Esquimalt.

I hope Amazon can resolve your issue.

Sometimes the kid just makes me want to https://i.imgur.com/ktN4SKI.jpg


This past Wednesday was an 'open house' kind of deal for incoming freshmen for next year. Go in and drop off your class registrations, talk to teachers, check out the available sports and other extra-curriculars, get a tour of the school, all that jazz. So, we went up there and dropped off the registration and started to wander before the tours started up. Now, I know that I mentioned we may be moving out of state, but the kid got into a program in the school which coincides with local colleges here and if she does all the work to ear the credits, she can actually graduate high school with at least enough college credits to completely skip her freshman year in college and start as a sophomore, so it's kind of a big deal. So we probably won't be moving only because her education is important and we're proud of her for getting into this program (which you need to apply for and get recommendations from your teachers).

"Hey, want a shirt or something? I brought cash." And of course the kid says no. :| We get to the gym and we were looking for the art club table because that's something she was interested in, but no one was there. I see a table set-up for the student government and I say, "hey, how about student government? I did that all 4 years I was in school and it was pretty fun."

Sometimes the kid just makes me want to https://i.imgur.com/ktN4SKI.jpg


This past Wednesday was an 'open house' kind of deal for incoming freshmen for next year. Go in and drop off your class registrations, talk to teachers, check out the available sports and other extra-curriculars, get a tour of the school, all that jazz. So, we went up there and dropped off the registration and started to wander before the tours started up. Now, I know that I mentioned we may be moving out of state, but the kid got into a program in the school which coincides with local colleges here and if she does all the work to ear the credits, she can actually graduate high school with at least enough college credits to completely skip her freshman year in college and start as a sophomore, so it's kind of a big deal. So we probably won't be moving only because her education is important and we're proud of her for getting into this program (which you need to apply for and get recommendations from your teachers).

I'm sorry man, that must make you want to pop.

I wish I could go back 15 years and smack around my teenage self. All those hormones and shit running through you... I wasn't a bad kid but I remember going through a couple years there where I was just grumpy at my parents most of the time - for no reason. I thought they were the most clueless people in the world and as sweet as they were, I acted like a turd. Makes me cringe thinking back on it. I adore my parents, they're great people. I did once apologize for that period and they just laughed.

Obviously I'm not a parent but as someone who was where your daughter is only 10-12 years ago, maybe it'll help to know that she'll snap out of it and regret being such a snot to you sooner than later.

Yeah, it was frustrating as fuck :lol: I know as a kid I wasn't always a model citizen either and had my moments of resenting my mother (my parents were divorced when I was 9) but I never acted like the kid did the other night. FFS this whole night is for YOU. And if you want to be in this program and actually want to go on to college for something, you need to be a well rounded student and you NEED to take extra curricular activities, not just be a good student. I'm almost dreading next year because when she gets hit with this type of program it's going to be like nothing she's seen before. Tons of homework and actual expectations and a lot less hand holding than she gets in middle school.

Yeah man agreeing with GF, try not to get too upset with her. When you're that age the future doesn't exist and if she's doing the no thing to every possible possibility, there may be more underneath her silent responses. Maybe you and Mom need to have an open chat asking her why she's not positive towards the things you guys feel are worthwhile? Let her tell you the reason why, rather than framing it like she's missing out...

On the plus side...getting enough high school credits to skip the first year of college??? Most kids at her age probably don't recognize what an absolutely huge benefit that could be. Don't be too hard on her if she doesn't take advantage or become enthused about future schooling. At her age I was.....well, you don't want to hear what I was doing.

Put the little pad near the window and bam, six new channels that are close to HD quality. Free and legit.

Just to add a little to this...the antenna pad fell down within 12 hours because the window got cold. (they come with two sided sticky things)

So after worrying so much about geography and high positioning, I just leaned the pad up in the bottom part of the window and it works fine :lol:

I didn't apply myself at all until 11th and 12th grade when it actually mattered for getting into Uni. That said, even when I was trying I (and half the class) needed tutors for AP math. That shit was hard :lol: The downside of AP was that I didn't have much time for extracurricular stuff. I stayed in band, played one sport and volunteered a bit to keep my resume rounded, but I missed a lot of music lessons and games because they homework load and studying for finals was soul crushing. First year university was like a vacation after that though, so fun, worth it.

Here's the difference in the frustration I was feeling. It wouldn't have bothered me as much if it was just a regular visit to the school for a regular upcoming school year. But, this is a program she had to apply for, had to get teachers to recommend her for it, it has limited spots available, and it will be a LOT of hard work that she hasn't had to deal with before.

WTF is wrong with this country? :| Over the weekend, a drunk driver hit a fuel tanker truck causing the tanker to crash and explode and it killed the driver of the semi. The drunk guy fled. However, he was arrested later that day and is being held by the Denver County Sheriff right now. Come to find out, he's an illegal from Mexico, so ICE put in a detainer request so that they can deport him after he's been charged and dealt with. Denver Sheriff says they won't honor the detainer request. So, theoretically, depending on what he is charged with, if he can make bail, the Denver Sheriff will just let him go and not hold him for ICE and he could just disappear and not face the charges as well as not get deported back to Mexico.
