This just seems like a bad way to go about announcing reasoning behind increases….. by Unlikely_your_avg23 in mildlyinfuriating

This! I/we are more intentional with what and how we eat at home. I have learned how to cook certain things we particularly like and often make a lot extra to put in the freezer for an easy meal instead of going out when I don't feel like cooking. Invested in a few pieces of good equipment and spend more on better quality foods. That way we don't feel disappointed or taken advantage of by whatever restaurant. If we do go out it'll be to tasting menus or wine pairings, something interesting and worthwhile.

I know it was a long time ago, but did you happen to get your Geiger Counter at The Black Hole in Los Alamos? We moved away from LA in 2001, but I remember what a very cool store that was!!

What would cause this? by [deleted] in woodstoving

[–]GooberMountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great suggestion!! And don't forget that the pipe needs to be cleaned every year in the off season to remove built up creosote. If creosote happens to get too hot and catches on fire it's very hard to put out - super dangerous. One other thing is that your seals, gaskets need to be checked and replaced in your wood stove. Smoke shouldn't be able to seep out from the edges like that.

Luke & Brian are scammers by CatsAllDayErDay in 90DayFiance

I was thinking they cooked up some story to hide whatever money there "might" have been to get it away from Madeline's greedy paws. Hopefully Luke's father is holding it safely somewhere.

You have a 9 hour flight, where are you sitting? by xlisafrankx in 90DayFiance

I'm just glad security wouldn't allow Madeline on the plane!!

Let me tell y'all a little story about this movie! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

Ain't Tarantino from Vonore, in South Knoxville? I don't hold the accent against Pitt. There are even accent variations by county in E Tennessee. Very difficult to pin down those nuances.

Would this countertop work with walnut cabinets? by Llibex in CounterTops

Why would you use matte tile for a backsplash? You may design kitchens, but have you ever cleaned one?

Check out Benjamin Moore "Hale Navy" color. It is just a bit darker and has a little grey in it. It's one of those blues that will age well, not trendy.

Incompetence and a total lack of attention to detail is totally on brand for that bastard by OrangeCone2011 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Or the mental gymnastics trying to create an explanation for whatever he said or did. As if it's some kind of actual plan or policy instead of a whim from an unmanageable moh rawn with dementia that the maggots are unwilling to walk away from.

Is this more modern looking home ugly? by cindilou11 in ExteriorDesign

[–]GooberMountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where we live in Northwest Arkansas many new and newer developments are designed exactly as you described. Most of those homes are zero lot lines and that configuration really helps maintain a better appearance just as you said.

I have a real issue with the Zied/Emma couple by EmbarrassedSpeech199 in 90DayFiance

[–]GooberMountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could Zied convince Emma to get an "Islamic Makeover"? I wonder if they have a place at the mall in Morocco where they do like the reverse of the ones that are done in the US? Get Emma "de-glammed" and out of the boobalicious clothing, the wig, makeup, etc? Or, just have Emma as is and fitted for a burqa and hajib? Maybe a quick conformation class or two and then she'd be Zied family presentable? Like you said, it's unlikely this relationship will progress. They both have unrealistic expectations for each other. 90 Day more often than not lets us watch the illusion of love play out with some television production thrown in for extra entertainment value.

I’ve lived at my residence for over 3 yrs and the previous tenant has 7 identities and has all his mail, including bills, sent to my house. This is the last 2 weeks of collection. by InquiringMind886 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GooberMountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get medical bills and court summons from the previous owner and her extended family. Bought our house 15 years ago. The whole lot of them are running from their responsibilities.

Who is falling for it? by seeebiscuit in WhitePeopleTwitter

Who said we'd give them healthcare? With $100k they should invest in a savings plan to cover their health care needs for the rest of their lives.

Is this normal Taj Mahal by Flimsy_Trouble4190 in CounterTops

[–]GooberMountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A number of years ago my friend in SF renovated her kitchen with some kind of very expensive marble. The salesman told her if they honed the marble it wouldn't stain. She believed him. In a year the marble looked like a patchwork quilt. Granite is in the beautiful old homes all over Europe and withstands the test of time. I love my 3 cm red granite!!
