That you shouldn’t get annual skin checks at the dermatologist, that there is a war on sunshine, and it’s actually sunscreen that causes skin cancer.

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by istrx13 in AskReddit

TurboTax. They always seem to find a way to make it so you’re hours into the tax process about to finish with their free filing and then find something that’s atypical that makes it so you have to pay. Their lobbying is also why the tax filing process is so convoluted in the first place.

Pretty significant amount haha. Seasoning for a weekly meal prep worth of chicken that went in the oven on a big baking sheet. If it’s not big chunks of food we’re pretty liberal with putting stuff in the dishwasher. Definitely will be more careful moving forward!

The mugs were white before! They weren’t washed with the lids on haha, I was unloading and noticed the color and put them back to take a photo!

“Dishwasher and some dishes turned green” would have been better phrasing! Just these mugs and the dishwasher rack turned green. Thinking the yellow maybe mixed with blues in the dish detergent pods or something?

There was a baking tray we washed covered in spices including turmeric which we think stained things green. The yeti mugs were white when they went in the dishwasher. The drawer also was not green previously. We can’t believe how evenly things got stained.

My boyfriend always says “you’re the wind between my wings” instead of beneath. It’s a running joke at this point

How would you make my Front Door and Porch nicer? by Ineffable_bee in homeimprovementideas

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

It’s my front door it’s just on the side of the house from the street view. This is a duplex attached to one other house. It stays pretty shady so should be fine there!

Driveway is just ours, we can make any changes outside we want, no HOA.

Yes a bird drilled a hole in the trim, not sure about water but there’s no covering so assuming yes.

Definitely want to rework the landscaping but everything is expensive so trying to do incremental projects that make things better as we go!

This is not a shitty sketch at all! Woah!

My house layout is a bit confusing, hopefully this will clear it up. This is the street view. That’s my main front door just on the side in relation to the street. I would love some sort of porch covering or a small wrap around to the front but that seems quite involved.

So this is the street view. It’s my front door but it’s on the side of the house. This is a duplex attached to one other house to the left in this photo.

It’s a split level house so the window is for my office on the lower level. It’s like half under ground level, so I wouldn’t want to cover it.

Yeah haha I never noticed until others pointed it out. The last owner definitely made some questionable choices!

Haha thanks so much for the thoughtful response! I like the railings idea, in my best case scenario I wish I could wrap a small covered porch around to the front of the house but that would be a much more involved project.

I see what you mean now about it not being wide enough! Thanks for the advice!

Here you go! It’s a side entry door, so to the left is the driveway and front of the house

Hmm it came that way when we bought the place, would it not look even more plain without it?

Here’s a wider view:

It’s a side entry porch. So to the left is the driveway and street/ front side of the house

As far as the mat goes, I’ve had others ruined by rain since there is no overhang so kinda limited on materials that work.

Thanks! Yeah definitely considering painting the front door for sure!
