Posted November 7, 2018 When you can’t hook up a new electric device because your WiFi is 5Ghz, you add 2.4Ghz, but now Alexa won’t work, the new dishwasher can not be installed until after Thanksgiving, your key FOB battery is dying, and you don’t have any faves scheduled for the near future. 😑 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move as far away from the router as you can (and still be connected) and try to add the device. 2. Try your wifi settings, some routers will let you 'downgrade' to 2.4. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, they do seem like they don't have a long life (mom is on her 2nd or 3rd machine in about 5yrs). Personally, not a fan of Keurig other than in say an office environment: almost every brand of cup tastes the same to me, and not great (Kirkland Pacific Bold is not bad, Whole Foods brand as well). At home, French press and relatively freshly ground coffee (I burr grind a few days worth of coffee at a time and store it in an air resistant container). Drip, Mr. Coffee gets good reviews for the quality of the coffee brewed and would agree: basket (so not working to death the grounds in the point of cone machines [eg. Krups]), good job of getting water to proper temperatures. Can get one for cheap. Add in using a reusable filter to get extra flavor (paper filters also filter out the flavor nuggets), get a good cup of joe in just about same time it takes for Keurig to warm up and brew a cup.

The key with the Keurig taste issues is, you really need to run vinegar through the system a lot more often. At the very least once a month, but any time you notice the taste getting a little bland, run it through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 8, 2018 Let’s attack these problems one at a time. I don’t know this gal Alexa, nor how to connect gigs wizzes, but I am good for the dishwasher. 😃 I’ll never forget the time Circuit City sent 2 geniuses to my home on New Year’s Day to install a new dishwasher as a freebie. I was having a dinner party that night. One of the geniuses pulled himself up using the drain pipe under the sink. He broke off the disposal and sink drain. Getting a plumber on New Years Day was impossible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A dishwasher can be installed in a few hours by someone who has middlin knowledge of plumbing and or handyman capabilities. Ace Hardware will replace the battery in your key fob. Remember, “Ace is the place of the helpful hardware man”. The biggest problem you have that I read here is that there are no faves scheduled to play with. That is a problem and your faves should rectify this situation immediately. Maybe you can find another fave at Ace? Solve 2 problems at once. 😂😂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Denver is fun at Christmas, all lit up and sparkly and such. Jesus would want you to do it, help him celebrate his birthday. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely glad to hear the scuttlbutt is good, will definitely have to check into the flight situation, as i would love to see any one or all of those wonderful ladies again, and I should be able to rest up between now and then, for round 2.😊😊😊 I do hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and gets to stuff something, up to you whether its a turkey or something else that is wonderful to eat😁😁😁 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought the generic brand of Keurig(Hamilton Beach)like 5 years ago, that puppy is still going strong, and I can't live without my vice. I also love doing coffee in a French press. My first world problems is I have to wash my dishes before putting them in my dishwasher. That I have to clean my house myself since I don't have a housekeeper. My phone is cracked, and I am annoyed that I had to buy an otter case to protect it until I can get a new one. My Chinese food tasted like fish tonight, and I drove to pick it up because I was too lazy to cook tonight, but more than willing to drive to get it so I could enjoy the radio on the way. xoxo, Samantha Sheppard 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
