Our neighbor regularly orders DoorDash late at night, and most of the orders seem to be getting delivered to our house for some reason.

Tonight a driver told us that his GPS is sending him to our house, and there is a photo of our house.

What do you guys see on the app? Is it a house number? A photo? GPS location?

The neighbors house is across the street from us. We both live on a corner, but my address in on one street and there’s is a different street. Their address is 3971 11th Ave and we are 1002 Main St.

Tonight’s driver was trying to get into our back yard through a 6 ft wooden gate and our dog was going nuts on the other side of the fence.

We have asked our neighbor to r

Thanks in advance for any advice!

We have a Carrier 58MVC080 that was installed around 2010. The inducer motor assembly is making noise, and I assume it's the bearings going bad. Again.

I did some research and it looks like you need to replace the entire assembly. It doesn't look like a hard job, but the best price I have seen for the unit is $1400 from Supply House.

I also believe that this is the second motor to go bad. The date code on it is 2018 and it's the newer design (part number 340793-762).

I'm going to get a few quotes for replacing it, but should I also look at just replacing the rest of the unit? I would expect the basic furnace to last 20 years. The fan works fine, eve

The SpongeBob Special

I picked up this sweet guitar from Goodwill recently. Did you donate it?

Does anybody know the story behind it?

Did I buy someone's art project? Was it hanging in a local bar? Was Death Cab looking to do an underwater album? Did I find Spongebob's favorite axe?

If you can't tell, those are hundreds of sea shells glued onto this poor thing. It weighs over 10 lbs!

I have determined that the underlying guitar is a late 80s cheap guitar, so not really worth restoring. So I will probably donate it to a local aspiring guitar player.

We have been Geico customers for over 10 years, and just got a letter stating they are cancelling one of our cars (but not both) because they think we are using it for commercial purposes.

We have never driven commercially.

The only recent change to our policy was to remove our kid who's now at school (back in September) and this week I dropped our roadside assistance because I realized we have it through our credit card.

Does anybody know why they think we are driving commercially? Is this Ai or Google gone rouge?

Thankfully I’m out of the game and don’t have to explain prices to customers anymore. But if your customers don’t understand why prices are so high right now show them this article.

Basically all the price drivers are moving in the wrong direction. It’s a good analysis.

and find our house didn’t burn down.

It seemed quieter this year up until last night, but it was definitely business as usual last night.

Maybe Washington could ask for ID when selling fireworks?

Or some of y’all could just stop being idiots?

I would reconsider.

We tried last year. We ordered 2 hours ahead with a 5:00 pick up time figuring that would be plenty of time even with the rush.

When I arrived at the restaurant around 5 it was a madhouse with no organization other than customers asking each other “who’s next”.

It took me 30 minutes to get to the cashier only to find out they hadn’t even started our order. They were only starting to cook once the customers arrived. I told them to cancel our order for 7 and went home to heat up some Trader Joe’s frozen food.

Hopefully this warning saves some other families the disappointment we had last year.

Today and yesterday I have smelled sulfur around 9 AM in the Sabin area. I only smell it outside, and just faintly.

Is the mystery smell still going on? Or is this a local issue?

I have a friend with an expired trip permit (hasn’t had time to get to DEQ yet).
