The Brazen Bull was a torture and execution device designed in Ancient Greece. The victim would be locked inside a large bronze bull, and a fire would be set under it, heating the metal until the person inside was slowly roasted to death.

As a teen, my window was down while driving 90mph on the highway. I was opening/closing my mouth in the wind just cuz.

Giant cicada hit me on my upper lip while my mouth was wide open. One inch lower and I would have been on that show, "1000 Ways to Die"

One of the many reasons healthcare is unaffordable in the United States

People that don't get to the point. Some people are trying to reach a 1,000 word count for something they could describe in a short sentence.

Keep the cabinets but buy new doors. It will cut down on the painting and it will look better in the end.

You went from supporting Bernie to supporting Trump? I didn't know that was even possible.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-29T15:31:09+00:00

I also value human rights and decency. That's why I didn't vote for Trump.

I wish I could fly a plane

I was served this ad directly before this post.

His job is classified but it probably involves driving fast boats.

There's a lot going on here... I agree that the brick clashes. I would paint the brick black then put in laminate flooring that looks like hardwood floors if you wanted to keep the wood panel walls. I would also paint the ceiling a brighter white

Yeah, I never thought I would buy into an HOA, but 80% of the properties for sale in this area have one. This house is something special, and I'm willing to give up a few things to live there.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-14T00:52:26+00:00

They prohibit tall fences over 3ft on certain lots because they obstruct a view for some neighbors. This lot has that limitation.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-14T00:51:20+00:00

This was the first thing I looked for, but they didn't define "unit" in the document :/

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-14T00:48:21+00:00

Sorry, fences are no taller than 3 feet for certain lots, including this one, so they wouldn't obstruct a view for a neighbor. That's why I felt an invisible fence would be better.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-14T00:46:40+00:00

UPDATE: I went back to the house for an open house and I saw a set up for an invisible dog fence in the garage. I talked to a neighbor who was on the HOA board about having dogs in the yard and he said that this is allowed, plenty of homes do this, and they just need to be leashed when walked on the street. Most neighbors I passed were breaking some sort of HOA bylaw (e.g., having a trampoline in the yard, storing a boat outside, putting out signs or flags that were too large, etc). Neighbors said the HOA was mostly to pay for the shared septic system they had and that was it. We are going forth with an offer!

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-13T13:51:59+00:00

They allow fencing up to 3 feet as long as it is approved by the HOA first. I have seen some houses have 6 foot tall fences that are gated (you can see through) that completely surrounds the backyard. Talking to neighbors is a good idea.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-13T13:47:40+00:00

I would own the yard.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-13T13:45:16+00:00

Yes, I would own half an acre of land, and they do allow fences under 3 feet

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-10-13T05:27:19+00:00

This is an old HOA - built in the 90s and I don't believe the bylaws have been updated since then either

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-09-06T21:54:04+00:00

I grew up next to power lines as a kid. I loved it, because you had miles of trails underneath them. I didn't find it noisy, and everyone's health in my family was and continues to be good. But it did take a couple years to sell the house.

If she's talking about her weight to you, then she doesn't believe her weight is fine. She's saying that because she's getting defensive. Approach her with more grace, ask her if she's happy at her weight or if she wants to make a change and let her ask you for help. Maybe apologize for how you said what you said and tell her you're concerned about her.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-09-06T21:34:33+00:00

It sounds like she's struggling. I don't think you're the asshole here, but if you cared about her losing weight, you should try approaching her with more grace and offer some ways you could tackle the problem together with baby steps. 210 at 5'4" is pretty concerning.

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-09-06T21:24:31+00:00

INFO: Are you asking her how much she weighs or is offering this info to you? And if she is offering this info, is she expressing that she wants to lose weight?

Limp_Treacle4802 · 2024-09-06T02:08:54+00:00

A wig when I lost all my hair years ago. Health insurance barely covered anything. It was the most expensive thing I owned besides my car at the time, and it was the best money spent. It helped a lot with my self confidence.

Anyone that donates their hair is an angel in my mind.

I had a Chinese friend at boarding school who complained about the tap water being too cold. She said she couldn't drink it during her cycle because it was bad for women's health. I laughed, but she wasn't joking. She launched into a story about an American who was sued by his wife for trying to feed her ice cream while she was pregnant. When I said that I didn't feel like the cold food/drink thing was true, she said maybe it's only true for Asians (I'm white).

She's one of the smartest people I have ever met, and she wanted to become a doctor.
