    Nothing there to fret about IF one takes proper precautions etc. as all should already be doing( also limited by rules).    BTW no cookies here either.  Private browsing is my friend.

    Agreed. Re cookies; Do you know how to check? How to remove? I get just as many cookies from Firefox as Chrome unless turning on incognito. Firefox just uses Google (as you probably know).

    I was reporting what is happening with buses and trucks ... These poor women were at the wrong place at the right time , it is just awful what happened to them and hope the company owning the truck will pay for everything plus.. but of course it will not make up for their pain now and probably i the futire.. That intersection is really dangerous , how many people have to be hurt or killed before they figure out something. There is no way to enter Chapala or that area without goint down a hill , maybe they should have a check up section on top of the hill before descending into Chpala or the libramiento ..or in Ixtlahuacan. ..

    I think if all truckers geared down appropriately at the top of the hill, this could be avoided but so many are in a hurry. The general rule of thumb is to never go down faster than you could go up. I don't know the details but from the photo, it appears he tried taking the turn too fast, rather than loss of brakes. If brakes had failed, going straight through may have been a better choice, providing no obstructions.

    Exactly what brands did you see locally that you considered poor quality?

    Rheem is available lakeside. Do you consider Rheem poor quality?

    Yes, you are correct, Rheem is good quality; - I only saw those available in GDL when searching but they were overpriced. Cinsa was heavily pushed - others I don't recall offhand - to each their own

    I started using TossableDigits primarily *because* of having multiple institutions that did not work w/ my US number at Google Voice. But they work just fine w/ TD.

    As far as reliability goes, it has been extremely reliable! Yes, on my current basic plan I get six free shortcode messages per month. After that they charge me a whopping $0.02 per message. I guess I never noticed because so far my highest monthly bill was $4.01. Of that, maybe 16 pennies was for short codes. This month I might hit 30 pennies.
     

    The link provided is from their website, wherein they state they cannot be relied upon to support all verification short codes. The list they provide does not include one single business I need to sign in with. It is good it works for your purposes.

    Note: This program T-Mobile is NOT available directly from T-Mobile anymore, buying the SIM via eBay and following the instructions makes this a great option

    In the instructions it states that one can port their own number by dialing 611. Has anyone successfully accomplished this?

    Fred you've certainly demonstrated to all your profound commitment  to " .... for better and for worse.... "    Because I've recently been a little more connected with you than some, in my heart I can answer "no, you didn't wait too long". 

    She's always made it clear she wants to die at home, with you holding her hand. At least having your daughter there will allow sharing of your heavy burden.  You've all suffered long enough. May she pass quickly and in peace.  🙏

    Amen. May we all.

    My info is not super-current, but our experience with on-demand hot waters heaters ( 2 -- one after the other, both very close to kitchen sink which is all they served) was HORRIBLE.   Nobody could pay me to have one.... updated versions or not. (Lower Chula Vista)

    Mine also. The heater when I moved in was nada so I bought a Cinsa on demand. No hot water half the time and ate batteries. We tried making it better to no avail. My sister was having the same issues down the road and replacement was a Kalotron with a small tank. I was so impressed I bought one. It is great. Easy to maintain and I did not notice a big jump in gas consumption. It is pilot light controlled and has a small tank which is fired when water flows pressurized or not. It is reliable and will keep up a full blast hot for 15-20 minutes. (really full blast)

    Mercado Libre is your friend to buy one.

  8. Thankfully, there is a lot of different research being done on energy-battery storage, from enormous batteries made from plastic to the use of a variety of microorganisms which store and even create energy. There may be a future with homes made from plastic which are the storage devices, supplemented by microbial consortia - roofs made of solar panels with small wind turbines along the peak and small water turbines in the downspout.

    Innovations in cars will follow, we hope. Jets; I dunno.

    Again don't answer the questions. Point at other things.  You tried very badly of giving all the GW leaders ignoring everything they tell us to do.  But yes they are way above us pleebs who do zoom meetings.  Same with all the house that will be underwater if what they say is true. Nothing the rest of the world can do if your right with China and India producing half of the world's carbon. Why don't they go to China and glue themselves to a road. Please live feed because it will be pure comedy to watch what China will do to them. But please keep avoiding the questions about your leaders and China and India. It helps non believers like me convert more over. I the USA climate isn't even in the top 20 worries of voters. GW is done some just can't let it go

    So reading not your strong suit - okay.

    Bigger question is when all the believer's going to China and India to tell them to cut there co2. I will wait... Lol

    LOL? I'm not tied up at all in all that propagandized political BS. People who are duped talk about things like; show me the rising oceans; whatabout the oceanside estates?; whatabout Greta? Bla bla.

    This instead of observing changes in wildlife due to temperature changes, long record heat waves, results of deforestation, etc. 

    PS. I'll bet NEWMtnmama does not have any great leaders

    In my last colonoscopy my doctor found that I had diverticulitis.  I wonder if a virtual colonoscopy would catch that?

    you could also stick this up your anus and DIY

    Diverticulosis is easily detected by scan. Diverticulitis is the inflammation of the 'pouches'.
