Reply to Anyone else still having power issues? by StuntFace
Yup. Power is still out here and has been since Friday morning. Not the greatest Christmas that’s for sure but it could be worse. Hope everyone else who is without power is safe and is doing the best you can.

I am also alone for Christmas. Would love to meet up if y'all are doing something today.

I'm surprised there'd be that many pipe bowls around.

The two flasks came out of different auctions.
The John Clark soda came from a privy in Upper Fells Point a few weeks ago. And the pipes, marbles, and stoppers also came from privies all over the city.

Reply to water cut off? by Bumbleclat
It’s likely your water meter. If you have a wrench, an extension cord and a small portable heater or hair dryer, open your water meter cover in the sidewalk, and drop the heater in there for a while (make sure there is no water in the meter hole.) the meters freeze BEFORE the pipes in your house almost every time because they aren’t insulated and the pipes in your house are. If you have some fiberglass insulation, wrap your meter with it after thawing it. This can prevent it from happening again.

Stay away from big box lessons (guitar center, etc.) The quality of instruction is typically poor and the fees structure of what they charge teachers is predatory and almost exploitation and it definitely degrades the experience.
Go private. It's built for long term relationships and learning.
There's a co-op studio in Cockeysville of private teachers that don't compete with one another for students but also doesn't have that fee structure, so you're getting your money's worth and so is that teacher. Find something like that.

My heating system is oil, my son connected a switch the main electric box to control the heat, kitchen outlets, and the porch light by the generator. Good idea, thank you.

Yea mine was pressing on my nerve as well. I was very close to bedbound for a month or two but staying active as hard as it was definitely saved my mental health lol. Also, I discovered the heating pad made it much worse. So if you’re doing that, opt for ice.

Big/main problem with the herniation is that it’s pressing on my sciatic nerve so I stiffness/limited mobility in one of my legs. I appreciate your input though - none of this is anything I wanted to ever deal with.

That's fair and makes sense. I've seen down here that thankfully it's not just the college-y parts of Fed Hill that are lively. The whole area has bars and restaurants that get reasonable levels of activity from various age groups. I agree that I think it's for the reasons you mentioned - there's more business in general.

It’s tough. It’s impacting my every day life. Wake up all out to wack. Stretch everyday. Can’t be in the car more than 15-20 minutes in the morning. Hour max car ride as a passenger. I’m not “overweight” I could drop say 10lb. I just don’t want to live like this for too long, I want to get back to normal life.

Herniated my L4-L5 in college. I played baseball and refused to get the surgery. The only thing that worked for me was stretching, inversion table and honestly loosing weight and changing my diet. Loosing weight was the biggest game changer. Mine was pretty severe but sticking to a routine it took care of itself over 3-5 years. Will still act up occasionally especially when it’s cold out. But if I were you id do what ever I could to avoid surgery. Surgeons always want to cut.

Peabodys out for winter break I'm sure you can enroll for the spring. My 6 year old son has been taking lessons since the fall.

What in proposing is a little different. Since you basically said infrastructure doesn’t scale with construction, in proposing a tax on new construction that will be used to help fund more infrastructure. This could help solve that problem.
I figure there’s a bunch of “but what about xyz” pushbacks to this suggestion, so a carve out for affordable housing (so the same bill could also serve as part of a financial incentive to build more of it), and maybe a very few additional exceptions might be effective, but definitely applies to commercial and industrial spaces, who use the most electricity by far, and maybe anything that fits the all-too-easily thrown around “luxury” housing term.
Make it green because there’s no reason our tax dollars should be used to build coal plants. Solar & wind are the typical responses there, but probably also things like battery capacity, general electrical infrastructure, and charging stations. And creativity about placement can make a big difference from simply finding fallow land: Ranchers often lease their land out for solar farms, with the panels built high enough that cattle/etc can take shelter under them. Seems a nice 2-for-1. My rooftop will never be big enough for whole home power from solar, but could house a couple panels that contribute to a collective run by the city or my neighborhood and/or a solar water heating system, which is much smaller.
