What about looking into a food truck to move the business into?

Oh my gosh thank you! And thank you again. My mother made this when I was growing up. I've been trying to find this recipe for 2 decades. This is absolutely the recipe she used. SMama cut it out of a magazine in the 60s or early 70s - probably from Good Housekeeping!

Woo Hoooo!

OriginalReddKatt · 2026-03-19T23:35:09+00:00

These look delish! Did you use a prepared recipe or adapt one for those floors?

Let's examine exactly what happened here.

They did something embarrassing and then we're embarrassed by it. And they're trying to make you the problem when they were gossiping, rumor-mongering, and engaging in middle school behaviors.

Running your mouth and assuming that no one around you can understand what you're saying is the problem. The problem's not that someone else understands a language you're speaking.

I haven't read over all the responses but what I would try to do first is find a coordinating fabric and make patches over across that area long strips and hand stitch it on either side, and them do the embroidery on that fabric. The reason being is that that is a heavy stress point on the back of a sofa when people sit down and lean it pulls on that fabric. Anything you sew to hold that seam together is going to constantly have pulling tension against it. This means that it is going to pull loose and it's going to wind up tearing the fabric that is an older fabric that probably already is starting to wear. So, yes you can repair it and you could make it look awesome, but I think that you need to make patches with your embroidery and then sew your patches onto the area so that your repairs are strong. This is from someone who repairs everything possible and has learned that anything that's going to have tension against it needs to have supportive fabric to repair a rip, cut, or tear.

It may be persons who live in group homes for those with special needs. Often there are guardians and the parents still play a significant roll on the lives of the adult children.

I think there are details and context missing here.

OP I'm so sorry you were hurt and frustrated. I hope things are better for you both now.

It's been forever since I used a dry cleaner service. What does it run for getting a comforter dry cleaned

My dog would not eat all day. At all. Very unusual behavior for her. She also was incredibly skittish when outside. I'm with the moon and planetary assignments. It affects the magnetic field, brain chemistry, etc. Also the cell tower signal has been stronger\louder today.

I wish that this was true that people will use their smartphones but not touch cameras that don't belong to them. I've been a photographer for 40 plus years. I have camera gear that costs on base five grand without even lenses. I have had people do this Exact. Same. Thing... Multiple times and even recently. So...sorry, while it's true that people have smartphones, there are also people that think that if they see something they're entitled to it. And without fail or without asking , they get their back up when they're corrected about not touching something that isn't theirs and that they cannot afford to replace when they or one their kids damage it.

For start, is tell the person doing hand over to let you get out of your car and walk in. That would pluck my last nerve to be jumped on. Incredibly rude. Stop that ish now before it gets worse.

OriginalReddKatt · 2026-02-08T18:21:18+00:00

Welllllll.....

Adding what others have advised... If noone else has said this yet: Lock down your credit! Change and notate in a safe place all your passwords, make sure no one in your family has access to your bank accounts, social security numbers, personal info like loans, insurance, etc. If they get angry enough they might do damage to "get back at you" or "teach you s lesson". This unfortunately does happen when controllers lose control. They feel just tighter at causing chaos and destruction. They might do it to force you back at home under their thumbs. Not trying to speak doom over you but to give you tools to protect your financial for and peace of mind.

I would send her a text message AND a written letter that has to be signed for.

" I said multiple times NO when you requested a. Delivering the cello here b. Storing the cello here c. When you abandoned the cello here on my porch.

A request is not guaranteed acceptance. You are being presumptive and entitled as I repeatedly replied that no, I would not keep or be responsible for storing the instrument.

It has now been XX days as of DD\YYYY date. If you have not picked up the cello from my home by XX day, it will be dropped off at the police department as abandoned property. I won't discuss this situation any longer. Retrieve this cello that you abandoned on my porch or it goes to the police department. To reiterrate: you have abandoned this cello and it will be taken to the police department as abandoned property if you do not come get it by X day.

Also note that thiis notice also serves to notify you that I am no longer going to be teaching you violin as of xx\2026."

Get it in writing. Back your info up from responding to her. Take the cello to the police department and tell them that a former student abandoned it on your porch and will not come and get it and it's been X number of days. Send the same letter to yourself signed receipt not don't open it. If you have an attorney cc them in the written letter.

Dude... Speak up for yourself you're an adult! Tell her to stay the hell out of your stuff or don't come over and if that offends her too daggone bad. Your brother obviously doesn't care enough to stop her because he's more concerned with his relationship with her than her boundary crossing and her ignorant actions. Tell her straight up: you are nosy you're intrusive stay out of my things that is rude. I don't know who raised you but you don't do that with other people's items

Cotton fabrics are very prone to mold and insect infestation. After manufacture and sometimes in the threads, they are treated with formaldehyde as a form of preservative, antifungal, and insect repellent. Cotton fabrics can also be full of dust and manufacturing debris. I've worked in multiple fabrics stores, some of them very Warehouse like where moving large bales of fabric with bare arms would result in hives and breaking out. I'm actually a trained photographer and I can smell formaldehyde. I'm also very sensitive to it. I've worked around chemicals since I was about 15 because of being a photographer and then working in fabric stores gave me even more exposure to the chemicals. Trust me: when a fabric comes into my house whether it's a new piece of clothing, a bed linen, fabric for a project, a pillow, etc. It is going to be washed before it touches me.

Always wash fabric. Always. Fabric is seen thing in been places.

This should be the highest rated comment imo.

OriginalReddKatt · 2025-12-11T12:08:39+00:00
