    Home electric power bank system

    No recent mentions on my forum searches about power banks. Looking for a battery home backup system (not gas or solar) that can deliver some power during short periods of outages. TV, fan, frig, lamps and other small appliances are only appliances that we might use, so it should be fairly...

    Spotify

    I am loving Spotify these days. Hated Amazon Music (unreliable) and Apple Music wasn’t fun to use. I went to Spotify when Joe Rogan moved his podcast to the platform. I enjoy Rogan.. YMMV. I WAS A DJ for county and rock radio from 69 to about 80, so I played a lot of music. Today, I’m...

    Golf cart batteries

    I don't trust the so called reviews online, but I generally do trust the recommendations and opinions posted here. I have a 2015 E-Z Go that will be in need of new 12 volt batteries soon. Local dealer only sells Trojan. Priced $215 each, so I'm looking at $1,100. I'm open to Lithium, but...

    2 player game app?

    My SIL and I have played almost 2,000 scrabble games on Words With Friends for years. We’re tired of the pop ups and in-app purchase tricks.

    Getting ready to call SS to find out how to get access to my online account's activation code to retrieve my SS1099. I apparently lost it. Before I call I thought I might ask the group if anyone else has had the same issue.

    Stick vacuum recommendations

    Dyson is dying. Batteries suck, pun intended. Shark model seems to have favorable reviews. Any others? BTW, Amazon Prime sale days are the 12th and 13th IIRC. Might be a good time to shop. Remember, DON’T DRINK AND PRIME.

    Post a meme!

    Love the Funny Joke Thursday thread but I love clever memes even more, especially bad puns. I recently dumped Facebook (after watching scary doc on Netflix: The Social Dilemma). My primary usage of Facebook was to show my smartassery by posting memes and such. Most in this group have great and...

    Repairing scratched glass

    Looking for advice on how to repair or diminish a 5 inch scratch in the middle of the glass of our patio slider. It's not as pronounced as it appears in the picture. I took an angle to be able to spotlight it and then applied an edit to make it even more visible. I think the movers scratched...

    What are you serving for the Superbowl?

    We are having 42 of our friends and neighbors over for a pot luck feast. I'm providing the beer and 32lbs (pre-cook weight) of pulled pork. This is our 4th year for the party and it's a blast. Plus, it's going to be a great game that's not featuring Tom Brady :dance:

    Overnight video taken about 50 yards from our back door. We've seen them solo but never in a pack. Do you see 3 or 4? I think there are 4 of them. Second video is just a daytime shot from the same camera.

    Our community in central Texas has a coyote problem. I've caught several on my trail cameras in the backyard. Really have to watch out for our small pets. Someone on our community site suggested this sign as educational and for safety issues.
