I did a bit googling. This guys blog from Springfield apparently repairs typewriters, http://ibmselectric.blogspot.com/2019/07/springfield-mo-typewriter-repair.html

And as weird as it sounds you might talk to some sewing shops with in store repair guys. When I worked at one the repair guy was actually a retired machinist who could fix just about anything. Speaking of which some machinists shops might be good to call. Good Luck!

Nikki Carter helped us buy a home in the height of Covid. We had no choose in the move, and we were under a tight timeline. If we hadn't had Nikki's help we would have been up poop creek without a paddle. She worked hard for us, explained things to us as first buyers. I would easily recommend her. https://nikicarter.exprealty.com/

If you ever move it off Wed. I'd be interested. (Wed. is my VTT game with out state friends) Hope you guys have a great game!

Seconded! From another gen-xer with heavy Goth leanings.

Summer at Karma Salon is amazing, she's the best stylist I've had. She gave me a great hair cut when I needed help after having covid ended up with a LOT off hair breakage. She shaped my new hair-do to work with what I had going on. Now things are growing back and she is doing a great job with my hair. Also very nice, she doesn't mind ideal chatter or she just as good with letting you seat quietly and enjoy your pampering time. 10/10 would recommend!

Go to a couples dance class, learn the Tango! It works for Gomez and Mortica.

That's great story! Have a good one.

Contact the company let them know there is a issue. It's not about getting coupons for tea you won't buy it's about letting them know they have problem. Perhaps they will correct it or won't. I do this anytime I discover a repeated problem. Some companies I can tell don't give a rip, but others do. Example called highland dairy about their shredded cheese packaging with zipper seals that always pulled away form the bag. They called me back asked me bunch of questions about times, batches, and places I bought it. They sent me some coupons, and thought nothing more of it. A few months later long after I forgot about it, the QA guy called me back and thanked me again they told me they discovered which machine/line was malfunctioning due my report. He also sent me more coupons. So some companies do actually give damn.

Check Tractor Supply or other farm stores they often sell it by the gallon.
