    would you consider this "dumping" ?

    It is relevant because of what is considered "normal" in India is not "normal" in the USA. And for what it's worth, my parents immigrated from another country. And they always are impressed with the general lack of trash dumping in the USA compared to our country of origin. .

    would you consider this "dumping" ?

    To be perfectly blunt, 90% of the neighborhood is South Asian Indians. If I was to sell my house and price accordingly, the next buyer will be South Asian Indian and would not care about the dumping. Besides the eyesore, I am concerned about the woodlands. Those things should not be back there...

    would you consider this "dumping" ?

    No, it is not their property. It is protected woodlands. I was told this when I purchased the house 7.5 years ago. .

    would you consider this "dumping" ?

    These neighbors are South Asia Indians. I remember the day the basketball hoop was dumped. The men were all laughing and giggling and having a good time.

    would you consider this "dumping" ?

    We don't have a good relationship with that neighbor and his pals on the court. If the township does something, I am sure they will know it is me who reported them. The township will pick up big items for free. All you have to do it drag it to the curb and let them know. And as for the...

    IOT/Smart devices = FAIL

    Why cringe? I think there is a broken sensor on the GE dryer (that was a set with the GE washer that broke). It only works when we put it on timed dry and only if we set the timer all the way to 90 minutes; otherwise we get the buzzer that drying is complete and the dryer stops.

    would you consider this "dumping" ?

    My house and the neighbors back to protected woodlands. My neighbor dumped his broken basketball hoop and large buckets and planters into the woodlands. I reported it to the township. Am I overreacting?

    Win 10 restarts

    On my newer PCs there is a diagnostics program that you can access during bootup. I would run the extended hard drive test to see if you may have a failing hard drive. .

    I have the Ring Doorbell not the Ring Doorbell Pro as you do, so I hope it isn't plagued with the same problem. :(

    IOT/Smart devices = FAIL

    My regular washer that came with the new construction house lasted 6 years. It was traditional top loader not HE made by GE. Can't blame it on Obama! :rolleyes: My parents washer lasted 20 years.

    Uh oh. I have the Ring Doorbell purchased in July after dispute with neighbors. The front door faces east. What broke on your Ring Doorbell Pro? The video camera? .

    Need a fitness tracker that..........

    I was at my local Walmart and they had the Garmin fitness trackers all slashed in price by 1/2. Clearing them out. Vivofit3 , Vivosmart3, Vivosport

    New Tax Forms Out

    I haven't looked at them yet. I am worried about the circular reference with regards to the ACA subsidy if one is self-employed. I know I did it wrong in 2016.

    Need a fitness tracker that..........

    I was at Walmart today, and being a nosy person, I asked a senior couple what they were looking for. Turns out they were looking for a Bluetooth adapter for their desktop computer. The Walmart staff had no clue or didn't know what the couple was looking for. The husband got a new Fitbit (model...

    Almost 40, Safe to RE if I wanted?

    It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Why not go part-time if possible? or work temp jobs for a few months a year?

    QCD and certified mail w/ return receipt

    Both certified mail and Priority Mail have tracking. So, I am guessing that the getting the signature for the green Return Receipt is the part that isn't profitable? It seems that the USPS is ignoring it. I recently sent a package first class with signature confirmation. I don't see the actual...

    QCD and certified mail w/ return receipt

    Sending it certified mail with return receipt isn't cheap either. It cost $6.70 the same price as priority mail. I researched online for difference between certified mail and registered mail reached the conclusion that certified was the way to go. Not sure now.

    QCD and certified mail w/ return receipt

    We are. They are are a national organization with 4**** high rating on Charity Navigator, but this experience has been extremely underwhelming.

    QCD and certified mail w/ return receipt

    No image. I don't understand how that green Return Receipt postcard is suppose to be handled. The USPS is suppose to get a signature for it, but that wasn't done apparently.

    QCD and certified mail w/ return receipt

    This is the first year that my mom did a QCD. She requested two checks from Vangaurd. She received the two checks and mailed them to two non-profits. Both checks were mailed certified mail with return receipt. non-profit #1 --- received the return receipt postcard non-profit #2 --- return...

    U.S. HC Spending Compared to other countries

    Just like the Congress members who are all for cutting government spending until the lucrative contract in their state is threatened. Then they frame it in terms of "saving jobs".

    Americans Working Longer

    I was at a McDonald's on Friday. There was a woman working there who I am guessing must at least be in her late 70s. The shift manager did not cut her any slack. She had to take food out to the drive-thru customer waiting in their cars for their food. Clean the glass door with the dirty palm...

    Should I take a lower paying job?

    To me, the words "strong work ethic" isn't the proper way to describe the OP. He sounds more like type A personality. Know thyself. Don't blame others for one's frustrations with one's job when some of the "wounds" from the job are self-inflicted such as the unwillingness to take time off when...
