Good news guys! When I got home and tackled the sewer cleanout cap problem I saw that with a 3rd or more of the cap missing the cap was bending instead of turning. So I called the plumber and they had a person in the area who came out right away for no extra charge. He sawed the old one off and replaced it. It wasnt that pricey but a but more than I wanted to pay. But it was done, problem solved and I didnt have to think about it anymore.
And then doing a bit of research a little while later I discover that I probably just paid to have my neighbor's cap fixed, not mine.

I shouldn't be allowed to do anything.

If you use LinkedIn at all, I very strongly encourage you to stop immediately.

You should NOT trust any message you receive from any person on Linked In. I wouldn't accept any requests from anyone on it for a while.

Bad guys are spoofing accounts, getting the legit accounts locked (ironically by reporting the good ones as fake - and LinkedIn just shotguns them closed) and using the spoofed accounts to spread badware and find out information about your company.

LinkedIn isn't owning up to this because when they do there will be a lot of people leaving. My CEO just ordered us to block all access to LinkedIn from our corporate network and all LinkedIn messages inbound are marked as SPAM and do not get delivered.


If you have LinkedIn, go into your account and look at messages and connection requests sent and make sure they are all ones you remember sending. Then change your password. I suggest a line from a song. Probably won't matter much, seems that the attackers that got into their password database a few years back never left.

So that invite I received to go work in Lagos, Nigeria on a SAP project might not be legit?

When your check engine light comes on like a week or two before you planned on trading in your car.

You could probably google how to turn that off.

Ooooh! When you overpay on rent! Rant(ish) time: I live in a small town, so you'd expect rent to be cheap, right? Wrong. Some of it is fracking, some of it is dumb people like me needing a place quickly and just taking it. Past year I paid $650/month. I wanted a new place anyway, because I lived in what was essentially a construction zone for a year, and it was obnoxious. So, I looked elsewhere. Meanwhile, my landlord sends an email asking if I was going to stay (in May, when my lease is up at the end of July), and I ignored it until I had a new place...duh. First place I looked at? $405/month, nicer, cleaner. *stares blankly* Oh, and my landlord told me it was going up $25/month because "the place was looking nice". Cool. My apartment is still all wood paneling and formica, but yeah, raise it. Whyyyy not. Anyway, that's my rant. I paid $250/month more than I should've been.

My brother said that AutoZone will check the code for free and can clear it. I'll probably do that right before going in, I guess? I was going to get it fixed, but why waste money on that right before trading it in? It's up for inspection in July too. Thought I'd dump it before those expenses. And I'm a single female who sure doesn't need a soccer mom van.

I remember the days I was paying $650 a month for rent...

/It was 1992 and I was a wet behind the ears university graduate, Jesus Jones was huge on the radio, and the Blue Jays were good.

$650 a month could get you a nice studio apartment in the rapey part of Newark.

I would never mess around with an oil light but a Check Engine is not usually serious. There are some allegations some cars have them turn on after a set amount of time. If AutoZone will check it for free there is nothing to lose, but I wouldn't pay them to fix anything.

I bet you were young and watching the world wake up from history. My first apartment around the same time was $450 and went up $25 every year. It was a dump though. My second one was nice but really small and started at $600 and I think was $700 when we moved out.

Nowadays around here people are paying $1100 - $1200 a month.
