Moved here a few years back - the brand new "great for sun" rattan style deck furniture is taking a beating - the strips keep snapping in the summer heat. As I'm looking at replacements, I'd love to hear what others have found holds up well in the harsh sun here? we're also close to the Atlantic, so salt air is a concern. The #1 problem i have with our current furniture is how waterlogged the cushions get 😞 even if we get the same basic style, i HAVE to find better cushions that don't get waterlogged - or feel plastic-y!

So, what outdoor furniture do you have that you like and is holding up?

I like to crochet while doing other things...like conference calls. It's a way for my hamds to stay busy so i can concentrate better - like a more productive fidget spinner. I've found corner to corner crochet to be the absolute best for me because there really isn't the need to count or pay too much attention. You get in a groove and when you hit the end of a row you increase or decrease...and if you mess up it is super obvious much faster than normal stitches 😀

I'll (probably) never be a great crocheter nor will i have the patience for the amazing graph-gans and gorgeous patterns i see posted (and admire greatly!) But i do make a TON of blankets for our foster dogs and i do find the repe

Hi, posting this because I couldn't find the answers myself and ended up calling oral b to find out. 🙃

Costco sells 2 different models of Oralb io electric toothbrushes. One is labeled io7c, one is just "ultimate clean" - neither of those exact models show up on the oral site.

The Oral b io7c IS the Oral b io7. The c refers to the additional contents of the box.

The Oral b io ultimate clean is the io6 version.

In the current (about to expire) deal, the io7c is $60 off, the ultimate clean (aka io6) is NOT on sale, therefore it's actually cheaper to buy the higher model number right now.

Hope this helps someone in the future trying to figure out what model the ultimate clean actuall

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you may have treied/measured out the songesand wardrobe from Ikea for your Litter Robot? Ours will be going in our bedroom so the plastic boxes from Amazon I see recommended won't work... and we have curious dogs, so I'm not loving the idea of a fully open side!

We expect delivery of the robot in a few days. If it looks like this may work, I'll be sure to post the end result!

Here's a link: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/songesand-wardrobe-white-10394558/

Hi all - we just booked a semi-last minute cruise leaving in about 3 weeks (April 21). My husband really loved Chef's Table when we cruised Carnival before, but it's not showing as even a sold-out option in the planner. Anyone have recent experience booking Chef's Table? our vacation planner thought reservations may not open up until closer to the date, but wasn't sure.

THanks!

Howdy - I just found you fine folks and I'm hoping you can help put my mind at ease! TLDR: I submitted my application in parts, and partially before my consolidation was completed. Did I screw myself or is the system "smart" enough to link the parts? Can I un-screw myself if I did mess it up badly?

POST: I recently found out about the temp. expansion of the PSLF program and hopped right on getting my previously-unable-to-consolidate loans consolidated. WOOHOO. that's all set. Here's where I think I started messing up: I submitted the application for forgiveness BEFORE the consolidation was approved which seems to have confused things.

Here's my timeline:

• Feb 25 - consolidation is "

UPDATE: the pop guns only have coke, diet coke, sprite, and ginger ale...however...WE JUST FOUND COKE ZERO!!! Woo-hoo! The Schooner Bar has cans of coke zero. That's the bar between Giovanni's and Chops. Some other bars may have cans, but we haven't found that on any pool bar.

Hi all, we are due to sail out on Brilliance this week (knock on wood!) And I just saw that ship does not have a coke freestyle machine. On Mariner, the freestyle was the only place to get Coke Zero or root beer. Does anyone know what soft drinks are available on Brilliance? I'm debating dropping the soda package or potentially upping to refreshment. Thanks so much!

I can't find this by searching so maybe someone here has an answer. This is mostly hypothetical for us but I'm sure others will have the question now that Delta is having so many breakthrough infections.

For fully vaxxed passengers who have recovered from COVID, can they bring a letter of recovery since you can test positive for some time after recovering from COVID? It is allowed on the South Hampton departures, it looks like, what what about US (specifically FL) departures?

Sorry for the weird question, searching hS not been helpful at all! Our spa dealer (who is off for a few days, or I would ask him) mentioned that the waterfall feature on the hot tub can have "mineral rocks" that can aid in various things like skin and stuff, or just a boost in sanitizer. For the life of me, I can't find anything like that (Google gives jot tub rock/mineral/stone either gets me stone surrounds or frog system - and frog doesn't seem to carry stones for a waterfall). Any suggestions?

Update: we purchased the new Signature Spa hot tub, even though the price went up. Turns out it was the last one in stock, so we lucked out with timing. It should be delivered Friday! Thank you all :-)

Hi all, we are about to pull the trigger and buy our first hot tub. We've narrowed our down to 2 options (mostly based on availability in our area) - they are a new Signature Spa NS-6 or a used Hot Springs 2013 Vista Summit Hot tub. The price is nearly identical ($9k-$10k). The used comes with a 1- year warranty, the new a 2 year.

Normally i would think new would be better, but I'm stressing myself out reading reviews. Do any of you folks have experience with either Spa or brand a

Hi reddit smart people, I'm hoping someone can steer me to the IRS rules on deducting expenses paid for charity. Specifically, can we deduct the cost of replacing flooring destroyed by foster puppies and what about the dedicated space in our home that is solely and exclusively used for fostering? I've tried searching and I'm not finding the guidance, although I've been told it IS deductible (i just want to confirm and find the correct forms!)

Everything is done through a 501(c)3 and I can easily get the documentation, I just want to be extra sure this is legit so we don't get audited/can withstand the audit if we do get one.

For the record: carpet and hardwood replaced due to damage f
