There are other websites?

Yeah, but no button to bring directly to the latest new posts on TST so I avoid those half ass sites... I mean, seriously, how hard would it be to have a button that takes me to the latest posts on here?

:-$

It really is a simple fix. If you want I can post a video that would help with this. Gotta keep the wrist flat when turning the wrench.. and no over the top action..

First off, you definitely have to shut off the main.  Then you will need to drain as much water from the system as possible.  Open up any fixtures on lower floor levels?? The below pic is of

Don't EVER buy into the Home Depot 24 month interest free scam. It's only deferred interest.

Isn't it only interest free if you pay within the 24 months? Otherwise it's like you mentioned they put it right back on top of the principle!

That's what we thought, but they put the whole amount on if you don't pay the full amount in 12 months. Learn from the wisdom of my experience and extra $4477.31 that I now owe them.

Yeah, my sister got dinged with that at a furniture store. After the two year period elapse she still owed $50 or something similar and they charged her 2 years interest on the full amount. #readthefineprint

Definitely. This was financed through Home Depot through the AC company who told us it was 24 months interest free. Should have been more vigilant. This sucks.

How is that 24 month interest free then? Sounds like 12 month interest free.. I mean, it is kind of hard to interpret 24 month interest free with anything less! Man that sucks about te extra 4k it isn't a small amount! [quote name="Ernest Jones" url="/t/72760/social-thread-chat-about-non-golf-here/400_10#post_1047011"] Yeah, my sister got dinged with that at a furniture store.

I usually will ask questions until there is no doubt in regards to what I'm getting ... Especially since I know that most of these companies will say what ever they think people want to hear to get them to buy their stuff!

It's called "24 Month No Interest" which is true. I didn't have to pay it until now.

It sounds like the lack of interest was… your lack of interest.

I agree that sucks.

My wife and I have done the "no-interest" thing several times now. For example, if we're getting a tax return, we'll do it… and then pay it off two months later. Or some stuff like that.

But we have always paid it off, in full, well before the free part expired.

If you still have your original paperwork, I'd look it up and talk with the original people who installed it and told you 24 months. Sounds like it was 12, not 24.

Been through all that. We were stupid. I'm sucking it up and sharing my stupidity that others might learn from it. :8)

The only thing worse than having been taken advantage of, is knowing that you allowed it to happen and could have easily prevented it.

Been there, done that.  Only once though......you don't make that particular mistake again!

Hornet update (I know everybody is waiting on the edge of their seats): ;-)

Got a bug zapper but was only killing a few every night. Tried spraying hornet killer from the truck window but wasn't having much luck with that because of the location and that they are much harder to kill.

Decided to run a plastic pipe up close to the crack and hook a vacuum cleaner to it.

Got hundreds of them in the vacuum today, vacuumed a little Seven Dust in on them and killed them. Here is the first dump.

Tomorrow I'll put some dust in the pipe and blow it in on top of the nest and what's left of them.

I just bought a $2,000 tv on my Best Buy card. Says 12 months no interest so thought as long as I pay it off in a year, I'm good. Gonna check the fine print on it now so thanks for the tip...

Good luck sir!. As a hoops player at my school, I'm more the "selling tickets in the booth" type of guy. LOL.

I bet you aren't nearly as happy about two a days being over as your players are. :-D

(Unless they are as crazy as I was and actually like the Hell of practice).

Good luck on your upcoming season. :beer:

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
