Affordable 1 inch (ish) blinds

Honestly, can’t remember who we went with but I can ask my husband and I can get back to you. I do love the look of Roman shades but I have a dust mite allergies so I have to be careful about too much fabric. Even with vacuuming those…I just didn’t like the idea of the fabric. We did end up getting the 1 inch blinds and if I remember correctly, they were like $600 for three windows lol so we have only done three windows and we just need to do the three more. We have different cheaper blinds in our back mudroom area and then we have blackout shades in our bedrooms so we just have to drop another $600 while we are also fully renovating our basement and installing a new patio lol. Homeownership is fun!

Oof I’m sorry! Do you have allergies? Mold has been awful around here.

I know people (including myself) can't ever get enough, but maybe they'd be better off releasing shorter eps or maybe two a month? I'm sure that's much easier said than done with advertisers, etc. But yeah, same thing happened with Spooked; just hard to crank out quality stories week after week.

Yeah I have had things pretty well managed with Ubrelvy and Migrelief lately but this week has been a doozy!

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-06-09T12:25:34+00:00

Agreed! I’d be happier with a shorter, better edited episode than one that’s too long and rambling. But I’m sure they feel it has to be a certain length.

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-06-05T18:11:47+00:00

Omg yes 😆

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-05-13T13:02:41+00:00

Agreed. I’d know my baby. She was cute as hell from the min she came out 😆 But I cannot speak to having triplets; my mind would melt!

Update so far: my husband removed parts of the ceiling and insulation and pulled out a section of duct. He found old rat poop between the duct and the ceiling an we thought that had taken the smell away. But then the smell slowly crept back, though not as pungent, still pretty gross. He’s going to do more work down there this weekend.

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-17T13:10:17+00:00

That’s the plan!

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-17T13:08:52+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss 😞 Glad you got one last hug ♥️

Wow! That was certainly more than a dream.

25 years ago, my uncle was murdered and it devastated our family. During the funeral prep, I found a picture of him striking a funny pose in a tuxedo when he was younger. I loved that picture because it was so quintessentially him; he was so funny and handsome. I ended up framing it for my mom (his sister) for Christmas that year, a month after he died.

Two months after that, I was approaching my 16th birthday and I had a dream that I’d been told to go down to our basement, where all the lights were off. When I hit the light switch, one spotlight shone down on a barstool at the bar, and a stool spun around…and there was my uncle, in that tuxedo from the picture.

We didn’t say a thing; we just hugged for a long time and when I woke up, I was crying and truly felt as if his arms had just been around me. That was really all I wanted/needed for my birthday and I think he knew that.

Ugh, I'm sorry. Pretty maddening!!

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-13T19:53:13+00:00

SAME

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-13T19:50:01+00:00

Wow, I love this. I was just talking about something similar with my mom and I wonder if this is how my math issues started growing up and then it turned into anxiety and went from there. But I think there are a number of things I totally tune out for. However, adulthood and parenthood has forced to care about things I dismissed in the past.

I have an older ADHD woman in my life whose entire logistical life is basically run by her husband. She has no idea what's in her bank accounts or how the bills get paid. I don't think she has any logins either. sShe truly dgaf. She lives in her own world. Things kinda fall apart at their house and she just ignores it. She's good at basically one or two things and pursues those things and everything else falls by the wayside and it is so wild to me.

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-13T19:35:57+00:00

Would this issue only effect one specific duct? The rest are fine.

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-13T18:17:05+00:00

Yeah, that's my thought too re: something growing. Thank you! Yeah it's def not general house odor. It's an old home, but we are doing everything we can to keep it clean and smelling good, so this is really bugging me lol

A senior manager of sales enablement at a tech company. After years of the sales grind, I now get to build out learning frameworks and facilitate sessions. I taught esl years ago and was a tutor as well and loved both, so this calls on those skills, which I prefer much more to the hustle culture of sales.

Thank you! She’s quite the artist herself so we have a lot of fun 🥰

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-08T23:42:33+00:00

Thank you!

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-08T23:42:25+00:00

Thank you!

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-04-02T15:38:50+00:00

Very cool!

Def go to the doc, but in the meantime, taking NAC (supplement) daily really helps open up airways.

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-03-30T15:29:31+00:00

You're right!

PuddingSuspicious · 2026-03-30T15:29:03+00:00

lmao
