    ...And the Amazon saga continues... :-/ The helpful rep that helped me yesterday called me this morning to see if everything was OK. I told her it looked ok and I see the gift card credit. I hadn't ordered the fridge again yet, been busy and on phone for 2 1/2 hours yesterday with Amazon. I...

  • Post in thread: Amazon Sucks Big-Time!

    P>S> I never even got to use Prime because I never received the goods I ordered in the FIRST PLACE. I have waited more than patiently for resolution...almost a month later...still no resolution, as of this moment.

  • Post in thread: Update on the Water Damage

    You know what's really messed up? The slumlord property manager for THAT unit works less than ONE BLOCK AWAY could get access their unit 24/7. These useless eaters above me pretend to work. I think they sell drugs for a living, but I cannot 100% confirm that, but they have loud mouths on the...
  • Post in thread: Need Multimeter Choosing Help :-)

    Thank you. That was helpful!
  • Post in thread: Update on the Water Damage

    Yesterday, (3rd flood), they were told not to use the shower/bath. Since they did not listen to the plumber the first time and have multiple people living in a one bedroom, I doubt they will comply. I may be calling the police today. I have emailed the main property manager, who does not GAF...

  • Post in thread: Solar rumors, need answers

    (Erik, My answer was lacking yesterday due to flood restoration, the full-moon, etc., lol.) I should have said; I will paint you something, or better yet, why not grab yourself some brushes and some paint and start your own collection? :)
  • Post in thread: Update on the Water Damage

    Well...it's too late now. Where were you before to tell me that? I'm not asking for real, NO OFFENSE! It was Christmas. Everyone was celebrating or not working (but not me.) It's OK. I am celebrating now.

  • Post in thread: Wire cutters for 4/0 cables

    I'm sorry, I'm ordering for 4/0, 4 AWG, and 10 Awg. I am on Amazon now and want to order everything I NEED at the best price. I can order the above and what would be the best for the other 2 gauges?
  • Post in thread: Physics of electricity question

    Sometimes I weigh less about an hour or 2 later, sometimes about 2 lbs. less. I think a lot has to do with electrolytes, i.e., sodium/potassium, balance, how much H2O you drink, etc. Sodium retains water (weight) and drinking a lot of water flushes out water from the cells. EDITED
