If it's the top layer of the laminate that bubbled up get a utility knife and cut a slit in the bubble, try to work some wood glue into the slit and place something flat and fairly heavy over it until the glue dries.

Well, the good news is the check finally showed up in the mail, not sure what happened, maybe a neighbor got it and hung onto it for a few days before sending it back out.

I had to return a laptop I purchased at Costco for warranty repair, they sent me a box and I mailed it in. I did what was suggested above and created a new user account then deleted it when I got it back. I also have my data on a hard drive partition that's encrypted with Windows bitlocker so I...

I've seen Joe Bonamassa a couple times in concert, kind of a combo blues/rock musician, in any case an excellent guitarist. He's done a couple 'unplugged' concerts that are on video where everything is acoustic, well worth watching.

Yes, I did notice the 7 day disclaimer on the USPS informed delivery page, it will be day 7 on Tuesday so I'll give it a couple more days. I've been signed up with informed delivery for years and it's very rare when I don't get the mail that shows up in the morning email that same day. Of...

My AZ state tax refund was processed and issued, received a 'USPS Informed Delivery' notice with a photo of the AZ Dept of Revenue mailing but it never showed up in my mailbox. We have a central community mailbox (~50 residents), sometimes the mail gets placed in the wrong box but always gets...

You probably haven't had it very long but how do you like the Nautilus hybrid so far? Any surprises good or bad? That's one of the cars on my current list that I'm considering.

The finance departments can be sleazy. When I purchased a Honda CRV the finance guy was trying to get me to purchase a $1000 warranty upgrade package. Showed me the numbers with and without the warranty for 36 month 2.99% financing and it was only $10/mo more with the warranty upgrade. Kept...

The Oakland game was very good. Couldn't believe the season shooting stats for Gohlke that was brought up during the telecast. He had 335 field goal attempts during the season, all but 8 of those were 3 point shots, crazy.

My UHC Plan N goes from $86 to $95 starting in November. When I signed up the extra cost for the gym plan was more than what I pay each month for gym membership.

You made out pretty good for $20 unless that was just a tip. Strange attitude from their #1 teacher, his job is to teach people at all levels, I would imagine he charges close to $200 per lesson.

Are the lights on a dimmer switch? LED lights require a special dimmer switch.

The ones on my house were never painted, all the homes in my neighborhood have tile roofs and doubt anyone else has either. They are a dark color and kind of disappear in the shadow of the overhanging tiles, not sure what the benefit would be to paint it.

Agree with the comment that it probably isn't a functional issue but does look sloppy. Below is my tile roof at a similar intersection.

I have the series 8 that I got through the Heartline study for $70, good watch but doubt I would have paid full retail, the battery life is terrible, especially if you use GPS for anything. Have to say the heart rate monitor is excellent, the best of any watch I've used over the years.
