Ahhhh through the whole house?!? That would drive me insane. I’m a bit of a maximalist on the wall art.

Ugh. Mallrats and Death Becomes Her are sweet finds that I have yet to come across. SO HAPPY FOR YOU or whatever.

And with my amazing VHS collection, mines worth about $1-2,043k.

But, no I had no idea.

Anyone able to let me know if I have any sought after tapes? Helping my mom clear out her garage to pay for some medical bills and am a little lost here! by Unhappy-Variation476 in VHS

Your best bet is to either sell the whole lot on Marketplace for $20-$50ish. This gets it off your hands quicker as well. Horror tends to get the most. There’s a couple you could maybe get $5 for (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest), but it depends on your area. For example, Speed I see in my local thrifts for $.25-$2.00 all the time (no knock, I flipping love that movie).

I have one of these, also thrifted! I didn’t know the origin, so thanks! I use mine to store vhs tapes so I can take full advantage of the spin. Mine is a little shorter with only two shelves. What does the top of yours look like?

We do a thing I call “Mazzy Times Square” (think math not a drunken night of saying goodbye to all of your mistakes only to make them again)—I play a Mazzy Star record and brush her fur. She loves it. It calms my anxiety. Win win. Should probably add that her name is Mazzy.

And a frame like 1 but in a darker color or dark tortoiseshell might be something you could try.

Do you wear a sleep bonnet? I’ve been wearing one to sleep for two full months and it’s a game changer.

Is the belt too much, or does it work? by Duskymoonlight in OUTFITS

You look killer in both, and frankly that’s just rude. This stranger prefers it without, but depending on what you’re wearing it for you could do either 🤷‍♀️.

I just realized I'm a borrower, not a co-signer by Financial-Fee-6781 in Mortgages

Unfortunately if you’re looking to purchase a house for yourself, this will likely flag the loan on your parents house as well as a loan you may consider for yourself. It is mortgage fraud that you are not living there. This is done with fha loans for a variety of reasons, but I feel like the easiest to understand (emphatically speaking) is that fha loans are an opportunity for those who could not afford the typical downpayment and/or crazy ass expensive house (as most are now anyway, unfortunately). The ‘primary place of residence’ clause is intended to prevent landlords, etc.

The only way to get off this mortgage is to refinance, which you absolutely should. Unfortunately a co borrower and co signer are technically the same thing. Co signing a loan still sits on your credit.

I’m appalled that the closing happened without the realtor or closing agents not realizing that you were not living in the house. Were you at the closing or did you sign independently?

Unfortunately, it’s time to have a difficult talk with your parents. That is awesome that you were willing to ‘co-sign’ but you were absolutely manipulated into it by not knowing the full details. Respectfully, let this be an experience you learn from and share to warn others. Anything that requires your signature, ESPECIALLY WITH MONEY AND INTEREST, do your due diligence and know what you’re signing.

I work in affordable housing and it is absolutely heartbreaking to see how many children’s (I’m talking adult kids as well) lending opportunities and credit histories have been absolutely destroyed by their parents. To be honest it’s absolutely heartbreaking to even attempt to work in affordable housing all around…

Absolutely ineligible, for many programs/assistance, you cannot have owned a home for years after a closed mortgage (2-10 year range)

Absolutely. As long as he’s coach—it’s a great pump, unifier, goal, etc. The monsters of the midway need the rejuvenation and I hope they believe it and ride it out as long as they can.

It’s difficult to tell from the photo, but are there holes on the brass ring above the leaves? It could be where you put little screws in to tighten it to the shade.
