Plumber was just here to assess the job—said there shouldn't be any problems; he can snake the 4" line and has a camera to find the clog. He'll be back after getting some lunch and start. The only glitch is that he didn't have a laundry sump in stock. We'll find out the cost & wait, or get...

Thank you for the replies. I am now disabled, and while I could/would have handled this myself when I was younger and abled, this job is not one that I can undertake myself even if I wanted to. We'll try to check if the "water" came from the toilet seal, but it appeared to be originating from...

Some things I know about home maintenance; others I don't—not much experience with plumbing since it's seldom gone wrong, so here goes... We have a 2" laundry basin sump (because the 4" sewer line is so long it exits the basement 3' above the basement floor). Last night when it turned on...

If nothing else, it'll make a nice (albeit expensive) toy for your cats. ;D Tyro

OK, I'll bite. :angel: Tyro

??? I didn't think you were allowed to contribute to 401Ks after retiring.

Aren't there already ways to watch live TV broadcasts online... for free?

Considering what they're trying to do in NYS, that may happen regardless of the market in general. Tesla Falls On NY Ban Worries - Stocks To Watch - Barrons.com Tyro

I don't disagree with anything that's already been said, but out of curiosity I goggled: laptop vs notebook - Goggle Search The best article I found was: Laptop vs Notebook - Difference and Comparison | Diffen which includes a nice compaison chart and wiki-like follow-up article. Tyro

IC. Thanks. Then would that be analogous to saying you're trying to have a portfolio with a beta of .5 to .75?

+1, (first paragraph) and the quote is usually attributed to Groucho. ;) IME, that top 10% gets pretty cliquey. When I was younger, had the time, energy, and disposable income, I shmoosed with a lot of fraternal organizations, but couldn't get an invitation to join. I've "belonged" (i.e...
