This happened a little over four years ago, but I’ve been thinking about it lately.

My wife is an insurance attorney. She had arranged her maternity leave with her employer, but our son arrived three weeks early. After five days in the hospital for the birth and follow-up care, we finally got home with a healthy baby. She was exhausted.

About 30 minutes later, her personal cellphone rang. It was a client of her employer, asking why she hadn’t responded to their emails. The client had found her number on our state bar association’s attorney directory. She tried to explain that she had just given birth and was on maternity leave, but the conversation kept going.

I lost my patience and took

I'm curious if anyone has seen this exact combination of symptoms.

My 2022 XC40 Recharge (2021 build, 41k miles, original TCAM was replaced in 2022) suddenly lost both GPS and its built-in internet connection. I can connect it to my phone’s hotspot, and everything except GPS-dependent apps works. Google Maps times out, Waze shows “No GPS,” and the cellular/connectivity indicator has an exclamation point.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

- Volvo app can still communicate with the car. I can remotely lock/unlock it.

- Wi-Fi works. I connected the car to my phone hotspot and Spotify streams normally, so AAOS itself has working internet over Wi-Fi.

- SOS works. I was able to connect and ha

Puerto Rico just announced its new national team kits, and I need one. They’re made by Stimulus Athletics, a brand I’m unfamiliar with.

I’m usually an XL in Nike, Adidas, and Umbro and an XL or 2XL in most other brands. Does anyone know how Stimulus kits fit?

My brother is getting married later this month, so while he handles the wedding, I’m helping our out-of-town family figure out their plans.

I spoke to one of our cousins, and they’re looking for a good Saturday brunch spot. Any recommendations for a group of 10 or 11 near Windermere or Winter Garden? About half of them are slightly bougie Miami humans, so somewhere nice that takes reservations would be ideal.

I’d like to troll them and send them to Waffle House, but I’d also like them to babysit the next time we’re in Miami for a concert. So it’s gotta be somewhere good.

Any Premier APs not using their free HHN ticket this year willing to check something for me?

We accidentally reserved the wrong date and are trying to switch to Oct. 17. Is anyone able to log in and see if there’s still availability for that night?

We don’t want to cancel our current reservation and then find out that night full, so I’m hoping someone who hasn’t booked theirs yet can check before we risk it.

Thanks!

Every once in a while, I check the FLHSMV presale data to see how the Universal Orlando specialty plate is selling, and I just noticed it has disappeared from the list.

Does that mean it failed to reach the required number of presales and was dropped, or did it succeed and move into the production phase?

I haven’t seen any announcements either way.

I'm looking at a few lenses from the wish-4-vintagecamera on eBay.

They mention that their shipping cost includes tariffs to the US, but I’m not seeing anything in the eBay listing that clearly says duties are prepaid or included.

Before I pull the trigger, wanted to ask:

- Has anyone in the US bought from them since our tariff situation became annoying?

- Did you get hit with customs fees on delivery, or was everything actually prepaid?

- Any general experience with them (accuracy, packing, etc)?

I’ve bought from Japanese sellers, since those state that tariffs are included on the ebay part of the listing, but not from other countries since things have gotten confusing and I'd rath

They say the best ride is the Yee-Haunted Mansion.
