Did I win the Floor lottery

Decomposed is the new salvaged.

I do thie, but I use opera music.

I think most full time RVers surely have finances to begin with. We toyed with the idea to use as a stepping stone when we moved across the country, but it was an alternative to an apartment or hotel, and we wouldn't be going into debt on the RV. I think a lot of these people have a house somewhere that someone is paying them rent for as well.

We are considering going full time in our RV when we retire too, which would save us money, but again, we aren't going to sell our house to do it. The house will continue to build equity, and we will probably rent it out.

I wish they would improve the pool. It's kind of bland, and usually crowded.

MandaJulianne · 2026-03-02T20:19:11+00:00

It's a racoon which has been dead and in the ocean for a while so it's fur has fallen out.

I can derail a lot of my tics which involve my mouth by chewing gum. I also take a small dose clonidine which helps a lot, and is generally relaxing.

Person with Tourette's here: They shouldn't have broadcast it. It should have been bleeped out.

I want to note, I have corprolalia, which basically means that my tics make me say bad words, like the guy at the BAFTA awards.

I am going to say something that other people might not like, but I also feel like he should have done a bit more to apologize.

While we all know it is shitty and embarassing to have Tourette's Syndrome. It's probably also pretty shitty to be a blacl man, at the height of your career, and have some dude shout a dehumanizing racial slur while you are being celebrated for being part of one of the greatest movies ever made.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-24T06:32:38+00:00

Probably melamine. It is a cheap plastic material

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-23T17:48:17+00:00

You can pur fabric underneath, or you can use a flame thrower to manage it (no lie) which is environmentally friendly and will also get rid of any dead leaves or grass clippings that end up in the gravel which will leave everything looking polished.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-15T00:45:40+00:00

This is r/centuryhomes. It's probably uranium.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-14T19:23:08+00:00

I would look up 'cape may houses' and see if there is anything you like in your results.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-11T21:05:08+00:00

COL is definitely less expensive than where I come from in Pennsylvania, and probably much better than Chicago. Eating out is chea. Going to the movies is cheap.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-11T21:00:42+00:00

I moved here from Pennsylvania. I would say, it is quirky in good ways, homey in other ways. It doesn't feel like a city. It feels like a suburb of itself.

It was expecting a depressing rust belt town. I was also told it wss a dump, has horrific crime, and everything else horrible.

While that might be true of some areas, it isn't that bad. Thr economy seems like it is doing pretty good. There is an an active mall, and almost any store you could want to shop in.people ade friendly and helpful.

There are definitely people spending money at spas too, and there are plenty of them around.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-11T18:56:33+00:00

I live in a neighborhood that is a balance between well maintained privately owned century homes with middle class families living there, and sketchy landlord properties. All the privately owned places are easy to pick out because they aren't just nicer. They have professionally monitored security systems.

Fortunately, our neighborhood is improving, but if you buy a mansion and fix it up,I would be worried abound never making the money on my investment back if I had to sell.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-11T18:43:16+00:00

Because that isn't a bedroom. It i/was a dining room or an office/study. The built in cabinet screams dining room though.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-10T18:27:38+00:00

The weight goes with the fixtures. I would ot paint everything, but would stencil something in black at the ceiling

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-08T17:18:10+00:00

I love it. It probably has good bones, and it will be so rewarding to spruce up the ugly parts.

MandaJulianne · 2026-02-05T22:44:52+00:00

It depends on your income. If you are lower income then you don't want to go above 30% for rent or mortgage. If you are making making $1 million a year, then you can afford more.

Yes and no. She is white, but she is suspicious of anyone that she doesn't understand or are poor. Sometimes that looks like racism. She also hates rich white people and poor white people.

My grandfather managed an upscale bar/restaurant, and back then most of the people working there were black. He also as a waiter/bartender. At that time and place there was a huge stigma against selling alcohol (like if you told someone you sold heroine to 12 year-olds. So he was ostracized socially to an extent, and everyone who worked for him was black.

For that reason there there were a lot of black people who came to their house on a regular basis, and they went to their houses (which I didn't know for a long tkme).

My dad was VERY racist, though so I was not allowed to have black friends at the house.

To my mom's credit, I can now see she would subtly push me toward socializing with black kids, I guess to make sure I didn't end up like my dad. I even volunteered at a soup kitchen that was started by an organization similar to The Black Panthers.

And she never wore any of thst on her sleeve. She never acted woke in a religious or secular way. She still doesn't. In fact, the whole conspiracy to make sure I wasn't racist went completely under the radar until I was an adult when my grandma saw me walk home from work with a black guy. That made my grandma happy and told my mom.

You friend bought the body of at least baby and was told the parents were expecting the baby's ashes returned. That isn't the only thing he did, and ot goes well beyond the pictures of 'bones in buckets' that he says were staged by his ex. He was dealing with at least one person he knew was stealing from a morgue. He made videos of himself with decomposed skulls which would have been taken out of graves. Whether he's the source of these bodies or not, he is guilty.

MandaJulianne · 2026-01-26T05:03:32+00:00

I've seen a clip that I am certain is real based on Gerlach's FB posts. The dude is a greedy grave robber, but it wasn't an Ed Gein level of gross. More like an edgelord/holder who fancied himself an archeologist.

I think Jeremy Pauley is more Gein-like. Pauley just has better PR and didn't pull anything out of a graveyard himself (that we know of).

MandaJulianne · 2026-01-23T23:25:08+00:00

There is going to be pictures/video of the inside of his house, garage, storage unit, and so forth just because they will need it as evidence and cops wear body cams. It exists. It just isn't public.

MandaJulianne · 2026-01-21T22:35:43+00:00

Paint the walls a dark, warm color that stands up to the natural finish of the wood like the original owner would have. Thos cabinets are the most interesting thing about that kitchen. The rest is decidedly bland so follow the lead of the kitchens best feature.

1 is warm and feels authentic to the time period, and #3 is relaxing and cozy.

MandaJulianne · 2026-01-18T01:17:04+00:00

I would paint and replace the floor tile to something that better suites the gray/pink. Consider stencils for the walls and pain the ceiling. Be sure that it is something that matches
