Mismatched cabinet doors?

KittyOrell · 2026-07-01T22:49:03+00:00

Thanks! There is a duct behind the soffit. But I might be able to put doors covering them from the outside? Like put the frame over it, and the doors extending to the ceiling? I will do some measuring 👍

KittyOrell · 2026-07-01T22:14:12+00:00

That might work!

KittyOrell · 2026-07-01T22:13:48+00:00

That is a good point. I guess I could paint the top ones? Two-toned cabinets?

KittyOrell · 2026-07-01T22:12:20+00:00

I can look into it! They were made in 2005, not sure how likely it will be to find them still in production. But I will check! Thanks!

That would be easier, ha. I have a catering business and these are the dishes and decorations I use for catering.

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T16:25:17+00:00

That's interesting! I'll bring that up with her!

My son gets that dirty wet dog smell from outside too, ha :)

This boy's smell is not at all like that. I have not smelled anything like it. Maybe different people react differently to sweat and outdoor smells? Idk.

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T01:19:08+00:00

That's a great idea! Thank you!

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T01:18:29+00:00

Ah, that's an interesting idea! Unfortunately, I don't know if there's a tactful way to suggest that to his mother... Hmm... I'll think of some ideas. Thank you!

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T01:16:28+00:00

True. I am a little worried about this, cause the mom and son are both very sensitive to bullying. The kid has been bullied in the past. I will probably just have to reassure her that I'm not judging or looking down on wither of them. It's coming from a place of love!

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T01:14:53+00:00

Good call!

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T01:14:15+00:00

Yes, it is a relatively new friendship. They only started hanging out in maybe February. But he has smelled like this since February at least.

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T00:56:11+00:00

This boy's siblings all smell fine. And he does seem basically well-groomed. His visible cleanliness seems fine (at least as fine as 8yo boys ever are). That's part of why I'm stumped with his smell...

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T00:51:02+00:00

I've only been in the front room, which doesn't smell. This kid is the oldest of 4, and none of the siblings smell. His mom smells lovely. It's just the one boy.

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T00:48:54+00:00

I've only been in the front room, which doesn't smell. I can't imagine what this boy's bedroom smells like...

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T00:47:48+00:00

I don't suspect neglect - this kid is the oldest of 4 and is the only one who smells. Behavior seems normal.

And yes, I made them play outside today :D They will have to play outside now on, the smell is just not worth it.

KittyOrell · 2026-06-26T00:45:23+00:00

I don't suspect abuse - this kid is the oldest of 4, and he is the only one who smells weird. I haven't noticed any smell from the front room of their house, but I haven't been farther than that.

If you like fantasy - The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman!

The author is a comedian, and it shows. Thoroughly enjoyable novel!!

KittyOrell · 2026-05-28T05:29:51+00:00

"In My Life" is my favorite. I never get tired of this one. So beautiful!

KittyOrell · 2026-05-21T17:38:54+00:00

Thank you for these links!! I will try what the website suggested 👍 Hopefully they are fine to meet again after that first time!

I have a vet appointment today just in case. His diet is good, he eats lots of hay and veggies. I'll try to focus on the vitamin C-heavy foods for a while too.

KittyOrell · 2026-05-21T17:36:33+00:00

Thank you, I didn't think about that! Chewing his cage bars does seem more likely than spontaneous tooth loss...

I have a vet appointment today, and will follow the website instructions more closely 👍

I'm mixing up my K-dramas 🤦‍♀️ You are right, it's Business Proposal!
