Yep. I'll never understand the not just a weather board anymore narrative. Folks aren't required to post in non weather threads and I don't understand why it bothers people others find interest in those threads

Fixed the power window on my car myself. Part was $30 on Amazon and labor time took 15mins. Meineke quoted me $750 for the part and hours of hard labor. Could have even saved more for the part I got on Amazon with 1 day delivery compared to cheaper eBay taking a week.

Just plant zoysia and be done with it
 
I was playing around more with the Model archive from the GFS. I was able to plot one of the all-time favorite runs which were notorious for bringing four feet to AL.

Post some of your favorite GFS runs of all time below, so I can work on them in the future.
 
Seemingly had endless rain a few weeks ago in our area. Dry clay now. Are others in the triangle area dusty?
 
Bird man. If you are married I don’t know how. A lady as President Maybe what America needs right now. A down the middle President. Very disappointed you made that comment in political thread. Ladies can be great leaders. Agree to very disagree on my end.
 
On my disabled bro’s bed in my house, we’ve caught 2 adult and just today one baby bedbug the last week or so. He has been bitten repeatedly the last 3 or so weeks. We just had Terminix come do a free inspection, but they couldn’t find the source of the infestation in his room: no other bugs, no fecal matter, etc. I have yet to be bitten or have seen any in any other room. My bro is pretty much bedridden. He has two mattress toppers because he needs them for his back. He’s been living in that room for several years. The baby bug is most concerning.

Any advice? Anyone else here ever had any bedbugs?

My aunt used to live in a flea bag motel. When she started living with my grandma and moved in some old furniture from there, I started mysteriously getting attacked even worse by bites that look like mosquito bites if you really scratch. At first, I think we paid no mind, but then I had a ton of bites after one visit during the winter. That was the hint that they were not mosquito bites. We were very confused about that, thinking that it may be some kind of mysterious allergy that I had. Eventually, during our Christmas 2010, I ended up getting at least two bites on my eyelids (if not more) when I was sleeping in the hotel room. We thought it was the hotel, so we eventually ended up leaving immediately on the day after Christmas (we initially planned on staying for one more full day) and after that, we have not stayed in that hotel since, a couple times staying in different towns, but now we stay in the hotel next to that hotel we abandoned when we go up there. We found out they did have a bird flea infestation I believe.

But as it turns out, the mystery was not totally solved. A few years later, I was in the area for college and started spending weekends at my grandma's place. She suggested I spend nights with her, so I started sleeping on her couch at times. First morning after when I started doing so, I am COMPLETELY covered in bites, when I maybe had a few mosquito bites if any when I came. It was absolutely shocking. Not long after, we figured out that there was a bedbug problem. So, as it turns out, I am affected bigly by bird fleas and bedbugs.

Grandma then has tried desperately since to rid herself of the problem, she has long gotten rid of the furniture that my aunt brought in from that living situation she was in, and has tried very hard to clean and clean. While there have been waves that have been better for me, the problem has never totally gone away. Me and my uncle are harmed the most, we thought it was only us, but then my dad found 20+ bites on himself the recent time we went up there.

Long story short, bedbugs need to be gotten rid of as fast as possible or they may never leave you. I don't have a solution here, but my start would be that all that bedding probably needs to get washed or exposed somehow to the highest heat you can wash/expose them to. It is thought that heat kills them I think. It's tough to do it yourself though apparently.

Thanks for the advice. This is going to be very difficult to handle because my bro is pretty much stuck in his bed.

I had never even seen a single bedbug nor gotten bitten by one (as far as I know) in my entire life! So, I never even thought or worried about them. (Maybe I’ll blame it on 2020.)

We’re suspicious that the origin for these is a home health nurse who had seen him 6-8 weeks ago. She had just been to a patient who had a bad bedbug infestation. It was so bad that she had to first go home and change clothes. We wonder if that’s the origin despite the nurse changing her clothes. Why else would he suddenly have them?
