I'm looking for some perspective from people in Al-Anon who have been close to someone struggling with alcohol.

There's a woman I'm very close to who knows she has a drinking problem. From what she has told me, alcohol has become partly a coping mechanism for dealing with a lot of trauma and stress. She grew up with an alcoholic mother and an abusive father, and she's currently involved in an abusive relationship with the father of her small children.

I care about her a lot, and I'm struggling with where the line is between supporting someone and trying to fix them.

She's told me that when she's with me, I bring "peace" to her life. That means a lot to me because I care deeply about her,

Debating between the Foger Switch or the Lost Mary Nera. The Nera gives 2x 12ml pods for 70k puffs (marketing at its finest), Foger is 19ml at 30k puffs. I'm not familiar with either brand, but I like the separate battery system. Foger has way more flavors, but the flavors they each have are good enough choices where I don't think that matters to me.

Any experiences with both? What are you paying for the kits and pods? My local has them at $25 for the kits, $15 for refills.

2012 Limited NA, 120k. I've had the car since November, and while the liftgate will go up with the key fob or the dash button, it doesn't go down. I tried the reset months ago, made no difference.

Originally, I thought the powerlift mechanism was bad, however, if the gate hits something on it's way up, it will go down like it's supposed to.

Is this something simple, or does the acuator/arm need repair or replacement?

I've had my 2012 for about 6 months, and have been wondering if the interior dome light in the far back (above/behind 3rd row) should come on when the liftgate is opened. Nothing in the manual about it. The 2 manual switches on the light work fine, but I'm wondering if there is a bulb between the 2 that may be burnt out. Thanks.

Yesterday, my level 9 Caravan turned into a Foundry when I went to upgrade it. After it finished upgrading, it was still a Foundry, but a level 10. I demolished it, hoping to be able to rebuild a Caravan, but the only buildings it's offering me are foundry, stonecutter, lumberjack, or barracks.

What, if anything can I do? It's preventing me from upgrading my Library, etc., and I don't have a caravan.

About a week ago, my radio stopped displaying song title/artist. It's an older 2012 Ford Flex. I'm on the $99/3yr plan. Is there a fix for this?

Trying to figure out what concert this photo is from. I can't find any images of him wearing this shirt, but I figure it's a good identifier. If it helps, previous owner (Great Aunt) is from St Petersburg, FL, and I know she went to numerous Ringo Concerts, last was the Feb 2015 Sarasota at the Van Wezel(?) arena. TIA!

As the title states. Have a (repeat) customer in PR, but eBay now considers PR as an international location, and they want to charge him $55 for shipping on top of my $15. I don't want to un-enroll from eIS, but I'm thinking there's got to be a workaround for this.

Bought a bunch of pistol stuff from a former FBI agent's widow, but this was in the box. I can't see any identifying marks on it or figure out anything about it. Hoping someone here can tell. It's 6" long and the inner diameter at the edge is roughly 1.25". Thanks.

I don't think I've ever seen this before. Just curious if anyone else has, or has received this in their feedback.

All you sellers that think every buyer is a problem, or even if you're just a new-ish seller, you should watch this
