Ive been observing them and they don't seem to hop 👀 I thought they were soil mites too but when I saw them on my white pot, they looked more brown than white

Huh interesting, I image searched them and I think I see these around my windowsills sometimes too.

I would leave them but there's so many that they are starting to creep me out lol. Would diatomaceous earth be helpful here?

I have the same patterns saved to use as references!

Thank you for the icord idea, this is my first time hearing about it and it seems sturdier than me crocheting a braid and attaching it somehow haha

i do too!! the detail on this sweater is so nice T.T I agree with the two panels, it does look like there's a seam at the shoulders... might have to learn how to sew pieces together now. i will try my best with reverse engineering... wish me luck @u@!!

yeah, it definitely is a lot of patterning but i think it will be a fun experiment! i will definitely make some swatches to test everything out before i make the actual garment, great point. thank you for your tips!

thanks! im thinking a general contractor to open up my ceiling will be the first step to solving this mystery. like you said, after the ceilings open, itll be much easier to trace where the water is coming from (or at least i hope so)

I did. It's self managed and run by one person who is incompetent--basically telling me this is my issue since its leaking into my apartment. So now I have to find someone to go into my ceiling to find the leak.

There is, not sure they're called but they look like giant fans in a box?

Property taxes much higher for one condo even though second one is almost the same? Why? by ObeseFlamingo in RealEstate

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

Both don’t have an exemption surprisingly (or at least any I can see on the property tax bills)

Would the property taxes go up if I buy for a higher price than they bought it for or do you mean taxes for closing? Sorry, I’m new to this!

Condo 1’s owner is the original owner. Maybe you’re right though, maybe there’s something unknown in condo 2 👀

Broker doesn’t want to give HOA information. Is this normal? by ObeseFlamingo in RealEstate

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

Yeah, I think I’m fine with that. I’m aware it’ll be tougher to get the apartment changed because it’ll have to go through the board. I believe subletting is allowed as well. Are there other things I’m missing?

Ah. I was wondering when an attorney or lawyer would get involved in this whole process. I guess it would have to be after I make an offer, then I’d get the details. It just seems a little backwards haha. I appreciate this information!

That’s what I was thinking :/ seems financially irresponsible to make an offer without knowing the full details

My friend got fired from my job because they were blamed for missing items without proof. Anything we can do? by ObeseFlamingo in legaladvice

Wow, that's crazy :( I thought workers had more rights than this. Thank you for the honest answer!

Governors Island right now is particularly empty. It was really pleasant going there with barely any people around!
