WordPress Twenty Seventeen Front Page Images Not Showing

I manage a website for someone, using the WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme.  I hadn’t been paying much attention the website until I just added some new content.  I also updated it to use SSL because Google is apparently going to start showing warnings on sites that don’t use SSL. Anyway, everything seemed to be working great until I tried to view the site when logged out.  The first image loaded… Read More »WordPress Twenty Seventeen Front Page Images Not Showing

Moto G6 Play Terrible Cellular Data Reception

I’ll add more details as I get time, but just wanted to quickly share my experiences with the Moto G6 Play. I got the unlocked version and using it on the sprint network was horrible. When outside, it was mostly tolerable, but indoors I was lucky to connect to a website half the time. These are all in areas where my Galaxy S5 had no issues ever. I spent way… Read More »Moto G6 Play Terrible Cellular Data Reception

Jabra Pro 930 for Skype USB Device not Recognized

Short answer:  Try to unplug the headset from the wall outlet and then plug it back in, and then connect to the USB port to the computer. Longer version: So, my wife works from home and I spent a ton of time researching a good option for her to use as a headset that will work with Skype for Business and also allow her to move all throughout the house while… Read More »Jabra Pro 930 for Skype USB Device not Recognized

Zagg InvisibleShield Glass Screen Protector Edges Not Sticking – Fixed!!

See the last paragraph of the post if you want to try to fix your current tempered glass screen protector – the video gives an excellent solution for most people.  Here’s my story of how I figured out why the edges do this (for some people at least) and how to prevent it from happening in the first place: A relative of mine recently got a new iPhone 8 Plus… Read More »Zagg InvisibleShield Glass Screen Protector Edges Not Sticking – Fixed!!

Shakeology Alternatives for Weight Loss – Cheaper Options

Short answer: The best alternative I’ve found so far is at Costco called Orgain USDA Organic Plant Protein with Superfoods Powder.   It is $29.99 for approximately 24 servings, for a price of $1.25 per serving.  The main ingredients that I believe likely contribute to feeling full (which is what is most important for weight loss – for me at least) are protein and fiber.  Each serving has 21 grams of… Read More »Shakeology Alternatives for Weight Loss – Cheaper Options

Garage door remote not working after changed bulb – fixed

Short answer – LED light bulbs frequently interfere with the garage door remotes. Changing to a standard light bulb will fix the problem. Long version:  So after having some service done on my garage (again – I’ll eventually write a post on what happened and what fixed it) our light bulb stopped working. Yes, I tried a new bulb and it still didn’t work. I’ll have to write another post… Read More »Garage door remote not working after changed bulb – fixed

Rheem Furnace Two Blinking Lights – Pressure Switch Open

Thursday October 26, 2017 Yesterday the furnace stopped providing heat.  I’ve had some success troubleshooting in the past, thanks to the internet.  My Rheem furnace has an indicator light that will flash different codes based on what the problem is.  This was a new one – two flashes of the green light followed by a few second pause, then two flashes again, etc.  Looking at the panel schematic, it said… Read More »Rheem Furnace Two Blinking Lights – Pressure Switch Open

Flu shot not covered at urgent care location

I’m irritated.  More than even my usual self.  I have always gone to my local outpatient immediate care center for flu shots and my insurance has always covered them.  Every year.  This year my insurance carrier decided to deny the claim, saying that preventative services provided at an urgent care location are not covered.  They said to review my benefits book for details. I look through my benefits book and… Read More »Flu shot not covered at urgent care location

Bare Root Raspberry Canes – 1 Year Update

I decided rather than doing multiple post updates like last year that I can do one post and just update as I go along.  I just haven’t been sure when I was ready to start.  It probably would have been better to start at the beginning of the summer, but it is probably better to start now rather than waiting any longer. Briefly, I planted bare root raspberry canes the… Read More »Bare Root Raspberry Canes – 1 Year Update

Refinishing a Wood Front Door – Cheap and Easy

I remember shortly after moving in during 2009, during the “restoration” after our basement flooded, one of the repair workers commented that our front door needs to be re-painted. It turns out that the restoration company also does a lot of painting jobs. I hadn’t really paid much attention to how the door looked, as I wasn’t aware of many of the details in our house at that time. We… Read More »Refinishing a Wood Front Door – Cheap and Easy
