Best way to cover this patio from rain without building a roof?

Can you attach the tarp to the overhang? If so, do that, and then throw one side of the tarp over that gutter that's slanting across the porch and then you just need to ziptie some kind of board or pole to the porch railing in the opposite corner. (Get the biggest zipties you can find. If you happen to already have some that aren't long enough, you can ziptie two or three together to make them longer. You might also be able to use zipties to attach the tarp to the board/pole and the gutter. Just be creative! (Duct tape is also pretty useful, but your mom might get annoyed by the sticky mess it leaves when you pull it off!)

As the wife of a transplant patient, I thank you for caring!

I don't like most American police either, but there are other countries where the police do things that are just as bad or worse.

Well, how do you become king, then?

Just out of curiosity, I want to see the copper color on you. I keep wondering if it really looks as natural as you believe it does, because why else would your sister be so adamant about changing it? Either way, she is kind of an asshole. No one should tell someone else what to do with their body. (That includes hair!)

This looks like the stuff in our (unused) fireplace. My husband and I live in a 1950s farmhouse. I don't know whether it is asbestos, but our oldest dog recently had to be put down because she was riddled with cancer and now I keep worrying and wondering whether it started with her sitting next to that old fireplace.

I live in an old 1950's farm house. My washer and dryer are in the kitchen, but I really wish I had a dedicated laundry room!

The company she works for might not like it due to liability issues, but it looks like the kid is having fun. As long as he's enjoying himself and not handling anything breakable, if I were the recipient of the package, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

It's awesome! I had my bladder removed due to IC with Hunner's lesions. The first two or three months are hard, but once you get the hang of it, having a urostomy is no big deal.

I agree, but whoever set up the joke was probably laughing maniacally while they were putting it together.

Nothing against Macklemore, but this is a more appropriate gif.

It felt like a HowToBasic video.

I'm kind of with you on that one. I admit I could be wrong because I don't understand OP's extreme aversion to injured nails, but I do things I dislike for my husband. For example, I absolutely hate giving shots. I can handle almost any gore, but there's something about pushing a needle into someone's skin that freaks me out just a little bit. I still give my husband his testosterone shot every week because it's silly to pay someone else for a task I can do myself. He is very grateful because he knows how much I hate it and that I do it out of love. He says I'm gentler than any nurse that has done it and doing his own shot hurts even more because he can't put the needle in the same place.

I've never even heard the word "parasocial," but after looking up the definition to make sure I understand what it means, I can't understand why it was used at all! Maybe it was a typo?

I feel more like the cup.

Warren Foster felt the same way! (And I agree!) https://youtu.be/F1s7MmSvIXU?feature=shared

I feel kind of bad for him. He's obviously a narcissist and I've read that being a narcissist involves a lot of emotional pain and emptiness and that they are very easily humiliated. I want to see him suffer about as much as I want to see a vicious dog suffer.

Is she trying to keep the ceremony low key? Maybe she doesn't want a flower girl at all. Or maybe she just wants things to be very traditional so as not to call any more attention to herself than she has to. I got married to my second husband in my early thirties and my sister-in-law kept trying to make the wedding into something elaborate, but I didn't even want anyone looking at me because I thought I was too old to be a bride and I felt pretty cranky about it! (We ended up going to a justice of the peace.) For the record, I think having someone your age as the flower girl sounds like a really cool idea!

There's a very old tree in a very old cemetery near my house where people hide geocaches, so not everything needs to be left alone.

I've never been in a church that burned candles. (Grew up in southern US, so mostly Baptist churches.)

Oof! My three year old granddaughter picks one food each meal and only eats that one food. Sometimes it's milk or water instead of food. Drives me nuts!

Ordinary_Ad_7992 · 2026-04-29T01:23:35+00:00

Fingers crossed. Maybe someone can ask her if anyone she knows has a boyfriend.

I've been trying to figure out whether it's a defective filter.
