I’m not having problems with AdBlock Plus either
It can be your settings.
Well, uBlock Origin seems to be working well, so I’ll stick with it.
Random Question: If you have a freezer in your basement/garage/etc, what goes in your kitchen freezer and what goes in the extra freezer? Trying to decide how to organize. Garage freezer is only steps away from kitchen.
Regarding AdBlock Plus, I had to remove it and reinstall it. It then worked fine.
Garage freezer gets frozen pizza, extra butter, bread, buns, fruit, boxed prepared food (Costco orange chicken, etc.), bags of ice. Our kitchen fridge is side by side so the freezer spaces are small. Inside freezer routinely has ice cream, frozen fruit, salmon burgers, tilapia, etc. Smaller things in general.
Freezer down a flight and down a hallway= frozen desserts from Trader Joe’s. Homemade meatballs, sauce, meatloaf, pizzas, soups, many loaves of pumpkin bread that will be gifts soon, emergency expensive! entrees from our best deli for nights that we are exhausted. Pork chops and tenderloin. Costco steaks and ground beef. Costco prawns and scallops broken down to 1 lb bags (this is great!)
It is very small freezer and now 28 years old. We bought it before S(adopted) joined us so that the family had meals while we adjusted. I figure I am the queen of freezing food! I always make enough for the freezer and our meal. I have learned to cook the pasta I intend to freezer very al dente.
Kitchen freezer has what we call “bento’s” small portions for lunches. ice cream. ravioli. ice! buns rolls scones, and homemade egg mcmuffins. If we have a large amount at dinner I automatically break it down to meals or lunches and it starts upstairs and sometimes ends up downstairs.
H has a new to us food saver --pretty amazing.
AND an entire shelf of frozen garbage such as meat and fish wrappers as our city made the marvelous decision to only pick up garbage once every two weeks. The coyotes love that decision…
Love my food saver.
Just to follow up, we have heat! Made it through the few nights with temps in the teens and Thanksgiving dinner. This is a new treat. Thank you all for the support when I was so worried. xx
This is a first for me: after several decades, we are switching our homeowners insurance coverage to a new company. The new company is requesting a home inspection. Is this common? Anything I should watch out for/do ahead of time to avoid any issues? Thanks!
My second fridge is in the garage, just feet away from the kitchen. I accidentally left the freezer door ajar, so had to throw everything out. Lots of homemade soup, Costco meat all separated and wrapped in small portions, Costco fish, C chicken breasts, fruit, etc. So, for the near future, will try to not buy in quantity.
I haven’t seen the BombaS socks myself, but I sent the kids the holiday pack of 4 pairs each. They looked pretty on line, and I got the idea from CC
@doschicos I haven’t had a home inspection for insurance but yesterday I heard someone speaking about the topic on the radio. She said she looks for pine needles in the rain gutters, debris around the house, dead trees in yard, overgrown brush. For example she advises people that they need to keep carports and areas adjacent to the house free of stuff. She was someone who wrote policies in Paradise area. Not sure if that is what they look for in your area.
Thanks, @mom60. This one is interior, too. I assume they are looking for risks which they didn’t state. They did state it was to provide an accurate estimate for replacement costs. I’m sure it is both.
It is common. In our area, they look at roofs and gutters. However, they will ask the homeowner to call a specialist to provide official “verdict” if they think something is not to their standards.
Just a guess, but I would think they might want to see if you have things like smoke detectors, security system, … to help calculate your premiums.
Our basement freezer gets our garden produce and extra meat from hunting or sales at the store. Extra ice cream and zucchini bread and things like that go there too.
Our fridge freezer has all the things we use regularly, including a serving or two of the things in the basement freezer. They just move upstairs as needed to replace the serving or two we used.
I have a question.
basically, i’ve made my first jewish friend**, and would like to send them our christmas card with our family’s picture on it. (I do say Merry Christmas on my card). — I don’t want to offend in any way, yet I’d like to share our photo, and wish her and her family well this next year. Should i make a separate card for her with Happy Holidays? Send her our card that everyone else gets? Not do anything? I do not want to offend in any way . . .
** I’ve never ran into this before because our midwest town has a very nominal jewish presence. I’m very glad to have met her and learn about her dedication to her faith, and how she is teaching/training her 4 sons; and how hard that is.
@bgbg4us, I would not send her your Christmas card. I would buy a specific Hanukkah card and print your family photo separately to put inside it. I think that the extra effort would be meaningful to your friend (though remembering that Hanukkah is not the religious equivalent to Christmas). If the card said, “happy holidays/happy new year” I’d probably feel differently about it.
@bgbg4us , I’ve never been offended by our Christian friends sending us their Christmas photo card; we get a few every year. That being said, we do appreciate the effort when a friend goes out of their way to send a Chanukah card.
What does annoy me is when people pay no attention to when Chanukah is (yes, it’s confusing when it changes every year). This year it runs from December 2 to 10. I don’t much care for being wished Happy Chanukah long after after the holiday ends.
I also very much appreciate it when friends realize we celebrate other more significant holidays; not that I’d want or expect a card or anything, just some kind of awareness when they occur.
^^^ THANK you marilyn. I’ll make a card right now for her and get it out soon. See, that’s exactly what i wanted to know; and it wasn’t even in my realm of thought.
@bgbg4us, I don’t send cards, but I know my parents used to get Seasons Greetings cards to send to Jewish friends.
I think that buying or making such a card and including your family photo without the Christmas caption would be a gesture she would appreciate, especially as it sounds as if she has confided that she has to work hard at maintaining her family’s Jewish life/identity where you live.
