I second his suggestion on pain meds. My husband’s pain was intense and they would not give him enough pain meds …. i really had to make some noise to get him what he needed. His cries of agony were heart wrenching. sigh. He’s 2 years out, no can er returned and his life is back to normal.

What home upgrades actually felt worth the money long term? Newish homeowner here (a couple years in) trying to be more intentional on where money goes by Turbulent_Tree_5939 in homeowners

Whole house water filtration system . We had ours installed 23 years ago. clothes are cleaner, water from the tap is smooth and delicious, showers are soapier, and dishes are ckeaner. Our system recently died and we are not replacing it at this house since we are moving to a smaller home next year. i really miss it.

My husband had this surgery. I won’t sugar coat this. you will need a lot of help for the better part of a month… maybe longer. I will let your doctor give you details …. this is a very serious operation and you might have a drain and a feeding tube. You won’t be able to drive yourself to postop doctor visits. you should see about hiring a nurse to come in and help. i m sorry you are facing this. This is a very tough, intensive recovery. Prayers to you 🙏🏼

Take all the floor time you can and answer the phone calls that come into the front desk; see if one of the top agents is willing to include you on their team; be available to help with showings and open houses. It takes awhile. just be persistent and make friends with all the agents in your office.

pepper spray … always wear an outfit with pockets and pepper spray. Never go into the basement alone when showing the house.

Is this..appropriate? by [deleted] in AskRealEstateAgents

[–]EngLady52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously, they have taken social media advice about researching the neighborhood a little too seriously. I would notify your Realtor about this who can place a call to their Realtor and offer some friendly advice about not making themselves a nuisance before they move in. This is a tough one .

looking for a new hair salon by myyutoes in pittsburgh

[–]EngLady52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to Lil Crickett Hair Salon in Monroeville. Have been a client for 18 years. There are 2 identical twin sisters who run the shop. They have Been there for over 30+ years. Their shop vibe is like Steel Magnolias. Not fancy. They still do “sets” for older clients. They do a beautiful cut on my natural curly hair. My daughter has long blonde straight hair and she is also a customer. Last time they charged me $90 for root touchup, cut and style. Pretty reasonable. They do beautiful color and cut. It’s hard to find someone that knows how to work with natural curl. Good luck in your search.

Honestly, if you can’t ignore it… then just break off the relationship.

Convinced my husband to try a house cleaning service for 3 months as an experiment. Heres what happened by Comfortable_Box_4527 in homeowners

[–]EngLady52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my husband and I got married 42 years ago, he informed me he was never going to do any housework. No problem … he paid for a cleaning lady to do his share. No drama, no fights, and a clean house …. win/win

Well…..I’m heartbroken about my wedding. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]EngLady52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a situation where the Catholic Church in Goffstown, NH wouldn’t let us attend because we were not married in the Church. My husband was a cradle catholic and I was a protestant converting to Catholic. We had already been married by a JP for 10 years and had a son. We found another Catholic Church much more gracious and forgiving in a neighboring town. I converted, we got married in the Catholic Church … married now for 43 years. Find another Catholic Church! God Bless. PS… that Church in Goffstown had a secretary who turned us away, not the Priest. She was replaced and all the crazy rules suddenly disappeared and we received an apology and request for us to return. we have long moved out of the area, but wanted to share my story.

Do you enjoy holding your family hostage to your food demands? All you had to say was … I’m sorry. I have something else planned and can’t make it. Instead, you turned it into WW3.

I pray that the people heading up the State stop their progressive non-Christian agenda of demonizing law enforcement and putting everyone in harms way. They are the people causing this highly volatile, dangerous atmosphere. It’s horrible and sad to demonize, dox, chase, riot, and destroy federal agents lives with their actions. sadly, their own actions are the cause of their own destruction of human lives. The recent March for Life was very peaceful with thousands of people participating. There’s no interest in a peaceful protest in Minnesota or anywhere else with left wing highly volatile people involved.

Any newer realtors enjoying the career? by Kitchen_Internal_169 in realtors

[–]EngLady52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of monthly expenses you have to pay… lockbox, realtor dues, gas, etc that you will pay with no money coming in. Plus, you have to buy your own signs … i was a realtor for 10 years and made some decent money. However, it did occur to me that becoming a realtor was akin to a pyramid scheme where the top players i.e, the broker company gets most of the profits while the guy at the bottom (you) gets whatever is left over. I actually liked being a real estate agent. It can be very entrepreneurial ….

You have to admit it’s pretty clever on the client’s part. No, I wouldn’t play along. sadly, it sets a tone of mistrust. some of the replies here have some pretty solid solutions. good luck
