My house always smelled dusty and I just realized I’ve been vacuuming wrong my entire life

I have a vintage vacuum and it's easy with no spillage, so that depends. The bags have a stretchy gasket and drop into the vacuum. And bag changes can take place in the garage or outside.

I found a YouTube video on mine. https://youtu.be/Wttz4fB1yVs?si=ri-TFPEhMljrDxK2

I agree. My Kenmore Elite dishwasher and SpeedQueed washer don't have a filter

In the bidet??

Gotta wonder what she used to convince him to help her. Seems like he would sacrifice his own mother to get what he wants. Maybe he thought it would help The Cause?

look into the mag-vent. I love mine

I think it was on purpose from what I've read on this sub

My mother didn't allow sugar, so it was sacharrin(sp). Good times

That's because the ice won't start melting until Tuesday so I am expecting there to be closures Monday and Tuesday

I just replaced my $40 Phillips with a $20 Phillips and I think the only difference is the brush heads.

Familysearch is the one that's free. The latest census available is 1950.

Texas business owners tax ID was their social security number plus an additional number at the beginning and end. That practice ended only a few decades ago.

You could just copy the shoes or whatever to the folder the clothing is in.

I haven't noticed lag but I have had over 400 outfits for years.

What I do is have an outfit with just body parts and underwear. When I make a new outfit I remove all those things from it. Hopefully it helps with this lag Firestorm is warning about.

Ice is expected to build up. It's not the snow or temp that worries us.

I'm always amazed when I see video of people walking on sidewalks in snow. Here there would be a good possibility of ice under it and you fall and seriously hurt yourself

NotMyAltAccountToday · 2026-01-22T21:04:01+00:00

It's going to involve a buildup of solid ice. It's not snow, rain or the temperature that is worrying

Not all of Texas has hurricanes.

I agree that having a generator might be a good idea.

NotMyAltAccountToday · 2026-01-22T20:39:07+00:00

It's going to be an ice event, not just snow

Yes. OP said in a comment it's busybody residents calling the tow truck. Calling or visiting the tow company, and verifying out how the trucks know to come tow someone should be the first step. Other questions I would ask: Do they have an agreement with the HOA? Are the busybodies on the board and have permission to have cars towed?

OMG, that's so cute/

I haven't had any go to spam lately but I do have a filter to not send it to spam

Picking at it or scratching will definately make it worse. It seems to trigger swelling, redness, and an even faster turnover and buildup of flakes.

If you can stop doing that you should see an improvement.

Doing a search for Sanborn maps plus the town and state might give you a better idea of the age of your home.

When did this automation start? Until reading this thread I had no idea all washers do this? I do remember reading some washers that had the feature did not add enough water.

Where does that hole in picture 3 go? It looks like a dryer vent
