    So frustrated! (New phone)

    I heard about a similar issue from a person on another board I frequent. It had to do with some VPN setting. If you click on Settings > General > VPN and Device Management > VPN, you will see a list of VPNs currently on your phone. They suggest deleting any/all of them and trying again. Hopefully that will resolve it!

    Credit card/study abroad

    My daughter is attending university abroad. I added her as an authorized user to my Chase Sapphire card. That is what is tied to her Apple Pay. She also has a Wise account which she primarily uses - it's like an online bank. She adds money to it from her US bank account, then moves it to her GBP wallet or Euro wallet as needed. She has a physical debit card for it. It has worked really well for her.

    Ditto to the above posters - always choose to pay in local currency. Your bank or credit card gives the best exchange rate!

    Need a new washer: LG or Electrolux?

    Personally I would fix the old one.  It's so much more reliable than the newer models.

    This has been our stance through the years. Pretty easy to do with YouTube videos! DH has replaced the control panel on both the washer and dryer, and the heating element on the dryer. The recent issue with the washer was the door-lock sensor. DH replaced it and it did great for about 2 months. Now it's throwing the same code throughout the wash cycle. 🤷‍♀️ Will see if he can resolve it....but in the meantime, figuring out what we would replace it with if needed!

    Thank you all for the input!

    Hello Hive! It looks like I am going to be needing a new washer soon....my Kenmore Elite front-loader circa 2004 seems to be on it's last legs. I want to stick with a front-loader and am looking at the LG WH4000 and the Electrolux ELFW7637 or ELFW7537. Anyone out there have any input on these models or brands? Thanks! 😃

    I use this one...really great.  I definitely notice when I skip this in my routine.  When dh and I were in Vegas, I was wandering the aisle at Dillards.  The consultant said if I thought the Perricone was good, I should try this one.  I haven't yet, but might take the plunge this spring.  

    I know this is a Zombie thread, but would love to know what cream you linked since the link doesn't work anymore!

    Or does anyone else have neck cream recs? The turkey-neck situation here is alarming! Help! 🆘😃

    ebags luggage

    I love their packing cubes, too!

     

    I do not have experience with their luggage, but wanted to comment on the sizes. While U.S. airlines allow a 22" carry on, most other airlines do NOT. The limit is 21" and many are very strict about the size (and weight!) If you plan to travel abroad at all, go with the 21"  :001_smile:

    Ditto on Harry Potter. They are so well done! Great use of your credits!

     

    The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton (my fave after The Forgotten Garden. It's on sale, so just buy it & use your credit towards a full price item. Also loved The House at Riverton. Did not love The Distant Hours.)
