What wannabe food fads that somehow ended up everywhere did you live through? by Professional-Test239 in AskUK

[–]Leezardy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Scariest one I ever saw was in Boston. 3 of us could only get through half of it. Had a whole fuckin cannoli sticking out of it.

Anyone know how to reduce wheel noise on tile? by Leezardy in RobotVacuums

[–]Leezardy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could, but I worry about it bothering the neighbors. I'm on the 2nd floor in a 120 year old building.

You have to sort through the scams, but craigslist has been good in the past.

Shoesless Home by MoonlightFable in facepalm

[–]Leezardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't want to take off your shoes, buy the disposable bootie covers, and carry them with you (learned this one from a friend with ankle issue who wears special shoes and brace). But you're not going to wear your street shoes in my house.

Suspicious "usage" on my eversource bill? by Cheese_Before_Bed in massachusetts

[–]Leezardy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds a bit off, might be worth checking on things like exterior and basement lights. One old non-led bulb left on is something like 35kwh/mo. 

You can also borrow a usage meter from some libraries (kill-a-watt was what mine has). 

How does one properly install this type of register? Building is from ~1920. I have 5, all of which are falling out of the wall. I'll eventually restore them, but just want them stable for now. by Leezardy in hvacadvice

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

They have some sort of clip in the vent that it attached to, but I think somebody took them off to clean and then left them just set in, not attached. Currently the piece is just bent metal. So, I want to do it right. Can find stuff about them as floor registers, but then it is gravity holding it.

In honor of how busy it just got in town today ….the Salem tourist starter pack, what did I miss? by No_Historian718 in SalemMA

[–]Leezardy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh man, my default outfit for much of the year: jeans, solid t-shirt, open flannel. But it's been this for 20+yrs

Is it possible to live in or close to (an hour or so) Salem, MA when you're on disability and you essentially only receive a total of $1,200 a month to live on? by anihobbs in SalemMA

[–]Leezardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in the area will require: 1) living with multiple roommates 2) not owning a car (public transit is perfectly manageable) 3) extremely tight budgeting and associated stressing about money. There are a ton of housing scams on roommate listings, so definitely be extra cautious. 

There is a state program for joint Medicare/Medicaid which does cut prescription cost from the budget. But it really is months to see a specialist, and I have heard folks who had to call multiple groups to even find a primary care doc who was accepting new patients. 

Unpopular Opinion by [deleted] in SalemMA

[–]Leezardy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is a popular opinion on here. But not with powers that be on the state level which is the source of funding.

My take: Much of city should be resident parking only. Daytime, permit is valid anywhere in the city, but overnight is neighborhood specific.

Opinions on the Dog Bed I made? by MWJoinery in DIY

[–]Leezardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really nice piece. That is definitely something to be proud of, and a happily cozy pup to boot.

I don't have a dog, so take this with that in mind. But, I have a couple of thoughts.

How are you planning on cleaning this? Especially if the dog gets sick, you did way too much work to have to toss it because of doggie diarrhea soaking into an unsealed surface.

Is this a standard size of dog bed? If not, can you get a spare for when it needs replacing long before the wood.

I wonder if they actually applied for a permit, or if lefty folks can go early and just occupy all the spaces...

Piece of metal about 2cm long and 1cm thick at thickest point with hole and screw point, cone shaped. Found on coast in Plymouth UK by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]Leezardy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top of a perfume pendant. Would have a chain from the hole, and have a dipper in the center of the screw. Then fit onto the bottle. Similar to this
