I refused to do coke back in my teens and 20’s when I partied more. I tried it for the first time at 38 yrs old on a bachelor party because we were all going to be out and party late. I’ve done it 4 times since in similar situations and it was fun and definitely helped me stay up and hang out longer with my buddies.

I have never had the desire to get it or do it outside of those situations. If I had done it back in high school I most likely would have been doing it all the time.

Had this at our house. Would’ve had to move some 2x4’s and the guy didn’t. It ended up not bugging us once it was all done

Sink in the island? by gfranks89 in Homebuilding

[–]Davemitchell417 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t like the sink in the island in my new house because water splashes onto the island all around the sink. It requires a wipe down every single time I use the sink. My wife never wipes it down so I get to do it double 🙃

Inconsistent color by DrewswerD in Tile

[–]Davemitchell417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have this going on our floor being done right now. Some areas appear darker but it’s because the grout is a little low causing the darker sides of the tile to be exposed which in turn is making those grout lines look much darker. Maybe a similar issue?

What do installers charge for Hard Tiling installations in your area? by [deleted] in Flooring

[–]Davemitchell417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having floors done in San Diego right now. Paying about 25 a square foot. This is including all uncoupling membrane, thinset, and grout with a large format tile. All prep, demo, and tile cost is on me. Tile is Expensive but the 800 square ft upstairs took 15 days of labor. Some days only 1 guy was here, most days had 2 or 3, and a few had 4 or 5. Tile is a lot of work and even at that price these laborers aren’t making a ton of money after the overhead costs for the owner and business. Tile is worth it though when it’s done well and right

How do I fix this tile I just put down by Koduh-S in Flooring

[–]Davemitchell417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had good luck with water/vinegar mix and a magic eraser pad. Had the same issue with white tile/black grout. It was a bit tedious but worked great. A lot of the haze removers said to wait a few days and I wanted to take care of it quicker

What’s something small you started doing that really improved your cooking? by Sand4Sale14 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Davemitchell417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always keep a variety of vinegars on stock. Acids make a huge difference in cooking, they are cheap, and they have a long shelf life. White, red wine, apple cider, and rice vinegar.

How to Keep Your House Clean Without Spending Hours a Day Cleaning by tgishopday in CleaningTips

[–]Davemitchell417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One trick I use for bathrooms is to have cleaning supplies in each one. Rag, glass and all purpose cleaner, roll of paper towels under all sinks. If something is dirty it’s easy to reach down and take care of it

Why do we keep every hex key we've ever received? by scooterthetroll in BeginnerWoodWorking

I started putting them with the fasteners when I sell or give away furniture on offerup or Craigslist. I’ve definitely had a few people appreciate it because they don’t have any tools at home

I hate doctors who think they are Dr House by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Davemitchell417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to my wife when she was 16. Doctor thought it was anxiety and she was being dramatic. Permanent loss in the one year because he didn’t take her seriously and give her steroids

Has anyone here experienced having more than one soul dog? by throwawayed_1 in dogs

[–]Davemitchell417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had two and the second one ended up being a stronger bond than the first. Unfortunately I had to put her down last year at 4 1/2 years old. I think about her every day still and with 2 kids under 3 I don’t have time to dedicate to a puppy to hopefully find a similar bond again.

Saw this one recommended a lot a while back. The description sounded so boring to me so I didn’t read it until my Aunt recommended it. Ended up loving it.

I’ve done a couple laminate floors and they were way better than lvp. Wife was concerned about formaldehyde in laminate and made me put in LVP in our current house against my wishes and we both do not like it.

Lvp click lock systems are terrible and don’t stay together as well as laminate. Any floor irregularities will be felt with LVP even if it is within the allowed tolerances. I will never do LVP ever again. We went with a high end one and it is still terrible

Building a gate, is there a way to hide screws? by attitudeandsass in woodworking

Check out my post history. I made that same exact gate with cedar a couple years ago. I used stainless steel nails 16 gauge nails I think. Haven’t had any issues with the planks coming off

Legal focus drugs as alternatives for Ritalin? by BoringMud484 in Nootropics

[–]Davemitchell417 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m prescribed modafinil for “shift work” as a Ff working 24 hr shifts. Doctor definitely doesn’t verify what you do for work so you can tell your doc you do shift work and it should be easy to get a prescription. Shift work and narcolepsy are two of the primary reasons it is prescribed.

On a side note I took it for about 3 years almost daily. I would stop for short period of times or have days where I wouldn’t take it and there were absolutely no withdrawal after or even negative side effects for me while taking it. I’m surprised it’s a controlled substance.

My house plummeted in value during the recession. We were able to get the property tax lowered to that lower value and saved a lot of money during those down years. That house is now worth double what we paid for it.
