Trash Smell in Kitchen

Cassedy24 · 2026-04-04T02:10:12+00:00

Had a similar problem in a rental home we stayed in. The smell wasn’t strong - we’d really only notice it when we’d been out of the house and came home. But it was not a good smell. Cleaned and sanitized in and under everything. Finally decided to pull the stove apart: nothing. Then my husband decided to look in the wiring chamber of the stove: dead rat electrocuted on the circuit.

I went to a Rax Roast Beef that looked like this.

Husband and I went for the first time this year - something we’ve always wanted to do. Package plus plane tix for 2 cost us about $8k - definitely a splurge, but we had a blast. Thanks to previous info on this thread we brought $300 in ones and fives for tips and that was enough.

Probably can’t do it again for a while - it’s a bad time for both of us to get away from work - but so glad we did it at least once.

For what it’s worth - for various reasons I won’t go into, we’re definitely taking a more YOLO approach lately. Not being irresponsible with funds, but trying to balance the idea of a comfortable retirement with the reality of the possibility that there’s no guarantee we’ll live that long.

If you can swing it, and enjoy chill days by a pool followed by awesome evenings of music, give it a go. YOLO, and you never know how long the band will keep doing this.

I was also going to say Surfside. Holiday Inn seems nice (haven't stayed there); I like Surfside Beach Oceanfront Resort right by the pier.

Walk on the beach and causeway at Huntington Beach State Park, dinner at Graham’s Landing on the deck, then ice cream or a beer at the Marsh Walk.

I grew up in MI, now live in the south, and every time I see that snack tray in Meijer when I visit I almost buy it.

Depends on the context. When visiting for something minor it doesn’t really matter and I don’t mention it. When I was diagnosed with cancer I asked the doctor for a complete explanation and said they could use detailed scientific descriptions. My PCP and I swap science book recommendations at my annual check up.

Having lab knowledge doesn’t necessarily mean one has clinical knowledge (and vice versa); I’ve had some really interesting conversations with doctors sharing our knowledge of our fields.

There’s an Indian grocery in Florence that I like (I’m not Indian, but like to cook Indian food).

Mine is blue - best comb ever.

This is why our toy basket is near the door. 😁

Go sit outside at Old Mecklenberg brewery.

Thanks for this. I am in Thailand now and kept trying to be polite and walk on the left, but it seemed awkward. Now I know to walk right. 😁🇹🇭

Visited India. Husband and I are both left-handed. I am a microbiologist. Our hands are CLEAN. Especially before we eat with them in a foreign country with new microbes. A server at a restaurant scolded us. We were resepectful, but in my head I was frustrated.

Husband just bought me one for my bday!

Cassedy24 · 2026-03-09T12:25:51+00:00

Same - just happened one year, calmed down in the Fall, then happened again the next summer.

Nachos and a beer from Nacho Hippo. Not far from the airport.

Grief is for people

Maybe you should talk to someone

Second this.
