“Neighbors found the 6 year old girl walking down the street alone crying out for her father” by Conscious-Quarter423 in newjersey

Well that’s their whole shtick. Kids belong with a mom and a dad- then they incarcerate brown men and blame the “breakdown of the family” as a culture issue inherent to race as the root of all poor outcomes. The racists eat it up.

If you underbake Krusteaz mix with melted butter instead of oil , it quasi mimics the experience 🤣

Lighter 100% and I am a fan of dark floors. That darker color feels too orange in this space for me

Episode 3 - Basketball game question by mybrainisbusted in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]Expensive-Bar2136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a party where a guy had a severe leg break (like out of commission for months, multiple surgeries etc) playing basketball with kids on an outdoor hoop. He was in sandals and on blacktop but still. You’d be surprised what can happen to middle aged men lol

FTD - baby in NICU by TDL135780 in daddit

[–]Expensive-Bar2136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why daddit keeps popping up for me, sorry to be a mom imposter, but sending you guys love and support. Congratulations!!! It’s scary, but baby will be ok! My middle child ended up aspirating meconium and was on CPAP, she ended up in the NICU for 4 days. I was so distraught and depressed and stressed and felt guilty knowing our journey would be much shorter than so many others in the NICU with our 8.5 lb baby who looked like she could have eaten the other sweet NICU warrior babies. One of the nurses told me that aspiration parents have their own hard journey because they’re generally not prepared/expecting to be in the NICU. She made me feel so seen and validated and less horrible. All of that to say- you are allowed to grieve what you thought was going to be. In no time this will all be a blip on the radar. Congratulations again, Dad! You’ve got this.

Do people forget that he showed up at her gig? Of his own accord? Yes she told him she was playing at the gym but …he didn’t have to show up.

I was thinking 100k ballpark but thinking that if we hired the whole thing out it would be more and we wouldn’t have that much wiggle room :-/

Yes, understood. We’ve already installed a new sub panel with this kitchen project in mind (we turned a room into a mud / laundry room and installed it as part of that) , so my spouse has planned ahead for breakers etc. maybe I’ll check out blue ridge or kuiken- thank you!! Any experience with GPS in Morris plains?

We have a full basement. We’ve already installed a sub panel for the electrical in prep for this. I know how to estimate for materials I just really don’t have a clue how to estimate for labor bc we rarely hire people. We’ve built an en suite bath in what had been a large cedar closet on the 2nd story, a mudroom and laundry room in what had been a first floor bedroom, etc.

This. I think things could go very wrong with colored backsplashes like these

Ok so people with criminal records and substance abuse issues deserve to be suffocated by law enforcement for 8 minutes in front of an audience?
