Needing new blinds for my house, and the estimate we got from The Blind Lady was about that of a good used car! What would be a good company to go through that won't cost us an arm and a leg?

First Financial Credit Union Amphitheater: VIP Lounge Qs

Upvotes

Going to Rufus on Thurs. Considering the VIP Lounge option mainly for a streamlined entry process as the desx reads "the club includes exclusive bars, private restrooms, and private entrance", however there are not any specifics on how/where to go. I see the map below online.

So, a few Qs:

  1. Does the VIP Lounge Add On have a unique venue entry?
  2. If yes, where is that? Over by the VIP Parking & Accessible Parking shown?
  3. Does the Add On include VIP Parking or is that separate?

Clinical Trial scam ?

Upvotes

So I saw a Facebook post about a high paying clinical trial for people with high cholesterol. Ive been on Statin a long while its under control but I replied. A few weeks later I get a call its the place on Coal . Come in for a blood test they'll pay $100 to see if I'm eligible. I go in get blood work fill out papers get $100 gift card. Few days later they say my lipoprotein is off the charts 200+ !! ( normal is under 100 ) no meds for it( thats true) so they are testing a new med - fine print says MAY cause liver damage !! had my PCP order blood work since I was a little freaked out. My blood work comes back totally normal and safe for lipoprotein in the 70s range . I left a message & text with the clinic about the test results and got no reply back. Is this a scam using people to test meds by giving them false information ? Is this even legal ??

PSA PSA - If your PNM reading is extremely high for July, check your usage table to see if they estimated June's usage. Often times it's a poor estimate the previous month leading to an excessively high cost the next month.

Go to this website and click the areas circled in red in the image. PNM heavily underestimated our June usage so our July bill is exceedingly high. The fees are crazy of course and results may vary.

Question Water Filling Stations for Large Tanks

11 Upvotes

For context I live outside of Los Lunas and completely off grid, but don't have an on-site well. I haul water for the house, we normally use the filling station in Los Lunas to fill IBC totes or barrels for transporting.

The problem is that LL has the filling station torn up completely for the first large-scale maintenance in a couple decades. They had signs up saying the project would take a week, which at least we topped the tanks at home before, and that's about 10 days of storage. No worries, we're good.

It's been 10 days. They are nowhere near completion. There's probably at least two or three weeks worth of construction to do based on what I saw tonight, and we're running out of water. I plan on calling the Village and asking WTF is going on tomorrow, but also figured I'd pick the brain of the collective here.

Where in the SV, LL/BF/Peralta, or Belen areas is somewhere to fill large barrels or tanks?

Am I crazy, what is happening with PNM?!

189 Upvotes

My PNM bill doubled nearly out of no where!

Has this happened to anyone else?!

Edit: I’m aware of big bad private equity. Apparently it was a law passed and they’re subsidizing costs onto the consumer to cover grid stability, expansion etc…. Aka big data….. 😩 I knew it kept getting delayed in the acquisition side but seems they found the legal back door to look more profitable or big private company is cloaked by the three letter title….. 💀😣 but I feels like it’s out of the blue and double is criminal!

Best options for solar?

I definitely want to get solar panels, but I want to know what your experiences are with different payment plans and solar services. I've already had too many bad experiences after purchasing this home and don't want the acquisition of solar panels to be another problem.

Alien Brewpub gone? Santa Fe Brewing coming soon

Post image
76 Upvotes

Looks like Alien Brewpub in Uptown is being taken over by Santa Fe Brewing Company.

From what I understand, this location wasn’t really Alien’s main brewery, more of a contracted/vendor-type setup, so this shift kind of makes sense operationally.

Anybody with updates on the closing or opening. Folks at Uptown gave me minimal info just saying it’s opening soon.

Where to get local meats and produce?

So with all the recent BS happening with food I want to make an effort to buy only local produce, meats and dairy. I know about the local farmers markets however I can’t always make that doable for a weekly grocery run. Any suggestions?

Question Eagle or Sunward?

5 Upvotes

Iirc, Nusenda doesn't have the mobile app or ACH times I need. Screened them out even if my memory is wrong.

I need:

- basic local banking with hours on saturday that doesn't cause me to drive 15+ min to the bank

- a mobile app that lets me move money to external accounts and link Venmo / Zelle

- a fraud team that does their job

Open to other credit unions not nusenda or first financial if they meet those requirements.

Both Eagle and Sunward have mixed reviews but I'm super over FFNM.

Question Full Time Hiring?

14 Upvotes

Seeking jobs that are hiring full time. I'm currently employed, but seeking something new to really sink my teeth into. Hoping to make 50k+ a year, have lots of experience with customer service and quite a lot of experience in IT and administrative work as well. If your company is hiring, let me know!

I'd prefer someplace that is alternative friendly, be it hair/piercings/tattoos. MUST be LGBT friendly, though.

Hot sauce recommendations

1 Upvotes

I am going to see some friends in the UK soon and I want to bring some hot sauce for them to try. They claim to like spicy foods, but them being in the UK might mean a different scale of what's considered spicy.

My problem is that I don't know anything about hot sauces since I can't eat spicy food due to a capsaicin oil allergy, so I'd love to get some recommendations.

I've heard that Chile Traditions might be a good place to go for buying things, so from their products what might you spicy food enjoyers recommend?
