I got firstlastname on Gmail and I find it a curse now. There are old people all over the place with the same name that simply can't remember their email address and end up using mine. I have had everything from non profit fun runs in North Carolina to aerial crop photos from Idaho that apparently farmers pay for? It was like a $100 a month service... . Luckily I use first.lastname so I can filter out their emails quickly since they never have the . Occasionally when it's an email from a small company or something like that i send responses but most of it I just junk now.

I just spent the last 2 hours before bed playing Minecraft with my 7 and 5 year old and I ate chicken nuggets for dinner... I may never grow up....

I have cordless blinds and rarely have had any issues and the issues I have had I was able to fix. I once read pull them straight out perpendicular to the window until you feel a pop and then it starts working normal again. I am not sure if that is what you meant by exercising the tension mechanism, but if not that has worked every time for me.

As for if it's the cordless blinds, I have $7 blinds from Menard's, so I am not talking expensive or nice by any means. I assume they are store brand, since they are 27x64 and only $7. 3 kids that kept destroying blinds for one reason or another, so I ended up going cheap and they are going 4 years strong.
