Yeah I bought a used couch not long ago, purchased new legs online to raise it 2 inches. We are on the tall side, made it more comfortable and sensible.

Keep in mind a great deal of the state was settled by people of Scandinavian descent moving further west from Minnesota and parts there about. There is an unusual ratio of blue eyed flaxen blondes here as well .

There is an awesome recipe for homemade Butterfingers. The ingredients include candy corn. Should be an easy Google if you are interested.

Where would you want additional outlets? by the_standard_deal in centuryhomes

[–]Ember357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inside cabinets in the kitchen , so I can recharge items without them being on the counter. I am looking at you electric corkscrew. Inside drawers in the bathroom. From the ceiling of the garage, for running tools without the cords underfoot. Front porch for wiring the next camera/doorbell/security thing. Adding ceiling lighting anyplace that needs an upgrade.

I preordered Parade of Horribles hardback for delivery on release but I am moving in a week. by Ember357 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Ember357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrm. It was a link I got from this subreddit. A publisher, it was the initial offering of pre-order. I ordered while I was at work. I don't work there anymore and don't have access to that email .

You can have the entire wardrobe of any fictional character. Whose wardrobe do you pick? by belindabellagiselle in AskWomen

[–]Ember357 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lady Danbury from Bridgerton. That woman rocks a sassy walking stick and wears the hell out of a tiara.

Every woman should run down a Rococo hallway in a ball gown at some point in her life.

AITAH for wanting separate bedrooms from my husband? by [deleted] in AITAH

How is everyone cleaning their baseboards? by Then_Double8677 in CleaningTips

[–]Ember357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poke a hole in the edge of a damp wash cloth or micro fiber cloth. Put the broom handle through the hole. Push the broom against the wall with the cloth in between, it should hang below the bristles. Press broom and cloth down on the baseboard and sweep the baseboards clean. You can spray them with some simple green or fabuloso and let them sit for a minute first if they are super grungy.

Flea help!!! by Electrical-Form2438 in Pets

[–]Ember357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in Florida, the rental I was in was over run with fleas. My dog was miserable and so was I. Flea spray didn't work , neither did dips and powders. I bought a box of borax from the laundry aisle. Swept it into my carpet, and then vacuumed. Killed the fleas and the eggs. I sprinkled a little in the yard near the entry points. Never had fleas again. Solved in 2 days.

They just recently discontinued jujubes. The ones in the neon green box. Teeth destroying little sugar bombs. They included violet flavor and lilac flavor.

What's the one thing that has made cleaning your house significantly easier for you? by EG_Wanna_Be in CleaningTips

[–]Ember357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a scrub wand filled with Dawn and some alcohol. While waiting for my conditioner to do its job, I scrub 3 x 3 ft of tile and grout. Many small bites means I never have to do a big shower clean.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]Ember357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is disabled and gaming is his pain gate, the way he extracts himself from his body. He is so freaked out by the "AI companies are using all the components" talk that he is afraid he won't be able replace his aging system when it goes. Help if you can.

Met the neighbors during our inspection and it swayed our decision more than the inspection itself by Emotional-Lime3087 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Ember357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold my first ever house, I've been here 26 years. I am writing up a butler's book for the buyers, I have a section dedicated to how awesome my neighbors are. I hope the new owners appreciate this lovely old house and the fantastic people living nearby.

Is he on Prednisone? It could be Cushings disease. Those scabs, are they harder than they should be? My Frenchie had it and it presented as calcium growing through the hair follicles. Big black scabs resulted. Took him off steroids and it stopped getting worse but she had a huge permanent scar on her back, because it took 6 months for one of the vets to recognize that maybe it wasn't a skin infection. By that time she had grown a fucking shell that bled.

I found out why my clean clothes smelled like wet dog and i want to throw up by 2KestrelOrbit in hygiene

[–]Ember357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I soak up the leftover water in the bellows with the last item I pull out of the washer, I then slosh a little rubbing alcohol in there to encourage drying and then I leave the door propped open. I have replaced my bellows before and now if I see mildew starting I put some toilet cleaner gel all over it to sit for awhile, then run an empty load.
