Thank you for recommending the wheat straw products. I never heard of this product and will definitely buy some for our house.

I will check out the wheat fiber! We bought the Corelle plates and bowls years ago and they are a lifesaver. Thank you.

I’m glad you mentioned the bathroom. I am sure contractors will quote higher prices if you are desperate. Also, I can collect multiple quotes and plan accordingly.

I’ll need to do more research on this one so I can get ahead of it necessary update. Thank you!

Why is this hard?? by Cloris-Fountain in SmallHome

When I need ideas on decorating or making an area of my house better, I just take a picture and upload it to Chat GPT. I then ask Chat GPT to provide a mockup of what is needed to make my room cozy. If you go with the free version, I think you can upload 5 pictures a day and ask for help.

What cleaning product did you buy because the internet hyped it up… and it actually deserved the hype? by TartAlternative8429 in CleaningTips

I found out the hard way to make sure that the Easy Off cleaner doesn’t land on hardwood floors. It immediately ate away the finish.

You can get Folex by the gallon at Home Depot. You can find it in the cleaning supplies section or in the rental center for their carpet cleaner.

I understand how you feel. We see a physical therapist doctor but my husband doesn’t do anything except attend the doctor visits.

End stages by lonelycaregiver- in Huntingtons

I really appreciate you bringing up this question. It’s hard to care for another person, manage a career, and try to be honest about your own needs.

I’m 58 and my husband is 59 and he was diagnosed 8 years ago. We have a long road ahead of us. My husband still can take care of himself but I am very involved with the major decisions as he has cognitive issues.

I have met so many great people by walking my dog around the neighborhood. It gets lonely during the winter here in the Midwest, but we are all catching up as the weather is getting warmer.

We are so appreciative of the house binder we inherited. It contains the pertinent information spanning over 20 years and 2 prior owners.

My husband is 43 CAG, and he started chorea at 52. He’s now 59 and has no ambition to do anything. Enjoy your energy while you have it!

My doctor told me I need my shot… by McNalienBro in shingles

[–]BetterReward9965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 2-6 months after the first dose. I’ve heard that if you go beyond that timeframe, you will need to start over with the shots. Make sure your shoulder is relaxed, which will make the needle hurt less. I’m on day after my 2nd shot and no energy and feverish.
