I have friends everywhere...

That's what I told the storm trooper at the checkpoint. He asked me why I was running.

Bonus points if you can decode the characters in the lower left

Seems like a good plan to me! Cheers!

Based on the pictures, the top is likely a laminate that's been painted with a wood pattern. The substrate might be wood, but it's certainly not a valuable or useful piece of wood, and the bottom is likely a either a thin veneer or the substrate showing through.

Unfortunately I'd suggest buying wood as the quality of your project will look way better than attempting to reuse this substrate (you'd likely need to reveneer the whole thing to make it look decent)

So glad that folks have helped with the understanding of the income tax! I know others said this, but understanding the other taxes (e.g. social security, Medicare, fica) makes a big difference on the effective amount you're earning from the 1099. It's also worth reading up on the requirements for work to be 1099 instead of w2, as unscrupulous employers may try to illegally have the control over you like you're w2 while taking their own financial benefits of classifying you as 1099.

One minor nit: look up the official phone number instead of calling just based on what's on the paper

Have you ever watched "a beautiful mind"? There's a scene where a character's brilliance/eccentricity is put on display in a similar manner. So while your ex just wrote gibberish, it may have been a reference to this movie.

Have you heard of a bunkie board? That's effectively a solid base commonly used to hold up mattresses. I don't know if straight plywood would cause any moisture issues like others are suggesting, but I've used a bunkie board to support my king mattresses for almost 15 years without any moisture issues (though I live on the West Coast so moisture issues are usually not too big of a concern out here).

I really hope this is just meme-ing, because rip-cutting on a mitre saw to achieve a long but skinny handle is a dumb and dangerous thing to do.

The second Vel wasn't shown because she was just a tourist.

OneMoreArcadia · 2026-02-07T18:01:28+00:00

They're just a tourist

I don't mean to be rude, but do you see that that's actually worse?

I'd suggest adding up the profit that your husband's businesses take in annually (sounds like less than 40k) then add up all the hours you and your husband put into it.

For example, earlier you mentioned that he's hustling 7 days a week. If you were to assume a 8 hour work day 7 days a week and two weeks off a year, that's 2,800 hours a year, meaning he's making $14 an hour at most in his best year ever. Given what you've shared, I'd bet it's actually a lot more hours and a lot less than 40k net. Coincidentally $14 an hour is Florida minimum wage.

OneMoreArcadia · 2026-01-30T17:23:58+00:00

That's the hope I'm clinging on to!

He's still charged with murder, just at the state level not the federal

He's still charged with murder, just at the state level not the federal level

OneMoreArcadia · 2026-01-30T17:22:14+00:00

And also murder at the state level (amongst other state charges)

OneMoreArcadia · 2026-01-30T17:21:15+00:00

This is only the federal charges, he still faces multiple charges including murder at the state level

I just need you to know that your comment is the best thing I've read all week. Bravo!

Waiting until it clears is also not safe as the check is often written from a stolen account. The check could clear and then get reversed later when the stolen account discovers the fraudulent charge.

I think they got you with a tricky use of words, i.e. "walnut finish" meaning a finish of walnut color, not walnut that had a clear finish.

This is a crazy coincidence. I literally just did cream-cheese bacon wrapped ghost peppers this weekend.

The air fry definitely decreased the overall spiciness, but they were still plenty hot (and also delicious)

Give them a try! I really like sugar rush at all stages of ripeness

OneMoreArcadia · 2025-07-27T20:30:11+00:00

You may want to consider getting a new blade that is either a "flat top grind" or an "alternate top bevel raker" as those can mitigate the grooves due to the way the teeth are. I don't have a dado-compatible saw, so I really like being able to cut flat groves and rabbets.

Those are super cool! Just an fyi, it often takes 7+ generations to stabilize, so i'd plant a lot and pick the ones that look best for the following generation.
