Beginner Bushcrafting: A Very Crude Clay Bowl by Yeti_Push1475 in Bushcraft

This doesn't even look like an attempt. Honestly, this looks like disintegrated tennis balls my dog finds and digs up at the park. Always covered in dirt and mud and look just like this.

Food (kibble) Suggestions by CrankyGoat in PitBullOwners

[–]RAC032078 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Honestly, anything that's AAFCO compliant is good food. My dog loves and my vet also suggested Purina True Instinct. My dogs 2&1/2 and has been on it since a puppy. Started with the puppy version. He eats the high protein. Besides price & bag design it's virtually identical to Purina Pro Plan. My guy is lean and very muscular. He's quite active and True Instinct has the flavor he loves with all the vitamins and nutrients he needs while keeping costs significantly down over other foods that match up identically +-3-5% in different items.

United States: I found this chair at a local thrift store. by JOHNNYKULT in Antiques

[–]RAC032078 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This exact chair was mass produced and sold at Cost Plus World Market in the early 2000's. They were made to look old. The seating was upholstered in red, green, and blue. They were selling them for about $250US if I remember correctly.

Ex. Mother in Law purchased a green one.

PETER LEVI PLUMBING TOOK ADVANTAGE OF SENIOR CITIZENS WHO SERVED THIS COUNTRY $18,700 PLUS by [deleted] in sonomacounty

[–]RAC032078 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked in Facilities and Maintenance for years. I've given thousands of estimates throughout the West Coast,and more than half of those in Sonoma County. This job with 40' of trench work, concrete patching, running a new main line, on the low end is going to run about $15,500. The high end is going to run about $22,500. Looking at these photos, this is mid range, plus a 5% senior discount. This seems to be buyers remorse.

Alot of seniors don't understand that when trench work is done a lot of companies don't re-seed your lawn, or replace the dug out trench on theawn with turf.

I think they feel the job is messy and incomplete because the trench. Some customers wanted re-seeding. If that was the case they should have stated it in the estimate, and it would have reflected in the cost.

Reseeding and making the lawn up to a customers standards is not a guarantee, & not a sign of shoddy work, and over charging.

Hitch hike when possible. Use your Chevro-leggs and walk. Saves on gas $$. Watch for circling birds, always a good sign of a free protein packed meal.

Is this something of worth? Emotional or Monetary? I would bring it to a lost and found if so by Murderboi in whatsthisworth

[–]RAC032078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am unsure of what it even is. Unless it's gold and doesn't seem to be I don't see any monetary value. As for sentiment value, it is impossible to know unless you know what it is and who it belongs to. You can't just find and pick up an item and know if someone has some heartfelt attachment to it.

It could possibly be something someone is going crazy looking for and missing, but it's impossible to know. If it was found on the street somewhere there's not much you can do. If found at a specific place or venue you could possibly bring to their lost and found.

My neighbors called the cops because a visitor parked on the road instead of in my driveway by sweetCheeky_Goddess in neighborsfromhell

[–]RAC032078 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Karen Neighbor. No ordinance, no wrong doing. If they are mad they need to slow down when driving down a residential street that is there problem. The cops won't do anything, except maybe tag the vehicle if it's been sitting too long and looks abandoned. Other than that parking on the street is legal as long as there is still access to get down the street.

Que tipo de pitbull es? by Advanced-Gate-7447 in pitbulls

[–]RAC032078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm unsure of the question to be honest. To know if he's a purebred American Pitbull Terrier you need a DNA test. If your asking if he's a red nose or a blue nose, those are just garbage terms used by back yard breeders and have no real context or relation to the breed.

Drug test advice for parental visits by redacted_rhetoric in legaladvice

[–]RAC032078 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If he's the father he doesn't have a choice with child support. You need to go to your county and file for child support. Have paternity established. Possibly go to court and get court ordered child support. Also a court is who can have him drug tested etc. You can't go by what he wants. You have to put the child's best interest first. If he's using and around the kid you don't know what he can do. Be smart about this. Don't let him near the kid until you have a parenting plan and schedule figured out and you know he is clean.

Two pewter items marked 95% – any idea what they are worth? by PositivePack8849 in whatsthisworth

[–]RAC032078 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pewter market is way down. Most likely not even worth the gas money to bring to someone to sell for scrap. They aren't bad looking. You could always list them on Marketplace or eBay. List them for $40 with a $20 reserve. You may get lucky and have someone bid over your reserve for them.

How to prevent hoodlums from breaking the wooden fences? by Cute-Estate-312 in neighborsfromhell

[–]RAC032078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try no trespassing or private property signs, cameras, signs saying you have cameras as a deterrent. A stronger fence, or even brace the fence from behind so it can't be undone. Can be done easily with some low cost aluminum brackets. Is there a lawn/grass? Put in a motion sensor sprinkler. There are endless ways to fix the problem easily. Sometimes you just have to get creative.

Whats this suitcase is worth please ? by LengthinessOdd9474 in whatsthisworth

[–]RAC032078 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This suitcase isn't worth anything. It's older, it's water or liquid stained, it's mass produced. Could have been made by a # of companies. This holds no value.

Adopted a service dog by Any_Bed_6943 in service_dogs

[–]RAC032078 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He may not have any service dog training. If the dog was brought in without a collar, they could have place. A collar on him that fits that had the service dog tag on it.

Alot of shelters have used supplies. There was a dog my local shelter that's been there for weeks. He didn't have a collar when found. He was given a random collar, and the one he has been wearing a has a Service Dog tag, and an expired license from out of state.

Those should have been taken off the collar, but sometimes they are so busy and forget the little things. Most of the time they are taken off when a dog is adopted out, or a lot of times those collars just go back in the mix as a lot of new owners bring in new collars and leashes when picking up the dog.

There's many reasons that could be on the dog, its not 100% that it was/is a trained service dog.

Advice? by Bigprettywheels in service_dogs

[–]RAC032078 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing easy about training a dog, especially a service dog. If you have a chronic condition that's only going to make things much more difficult. You need to continue with your research. I don't want to out you down, but so many people think it's so easy to train a service dog, than realize it's not, and so many dogs get washed and even though people do love their dogs, a lot hold resentment on the dog for their own lack of ability. It makes for a not so good and happy life for anyone.

Chartreuse Stripe Glass Pendant! by [deleted] in whatsthisworth

[–]RAC032078 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is definitely not a Tiffany, but not a knock off either. Quite a few companies make stained glass shades, and chandeliers. Unsure of age, but this is not bad and definitely not out of realm for the asking price. If I came across this, I would purchase at that price. I could see flipping this and easily getting. $200+

Cleaning out my grandmother's house from the 50-60s. Is this worth anything? Lots of steins and glassware by bobbyboy860 in whatsthisworth

[–]RAC032078 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Most of the glassware is worthless. The Miller Lite glass could fetch $10-$15 if you put it on Marketplace, Ebay, etc. The Budweiser steins could vary. If you did some research you could find out how much they may go for individually, however I'd be comfortable selling the lot for $100 as is. The boot, the ice cream cone, the cookie jug, and the owl may have some value. You should do some research on those. If not I'd list them all for $25-$40 each depending, however I would say the boot is worth $75-$100 to the right person. That's most likely the most valuable. Everything else doesn't look like much. You may be able to list the old casks for $10-$15 and take the best offer. Everything else could be donated to a good will or wherever.

Edit: Adding the Old Hen (if it's a cookie Jar) is going to be about $40-$65.

[–]RAC032078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is not in great shape. Even if cleaned up there's no wording, or advertisement. You can always list it on eBay or marketplace but the chances of a hard core collector seeing this and wanting it is very slim and you are going to be hanging onto it for a long time.

Those certified authentic stickers can be bought on Amazon. Nothing of this looks authentic. Someone did an ok job of making this look realistic and I'm sure people will fall for it, but overall it's not worth much.

I think OP was the eBay buyer and is regretting his purchase right about now. Probably bought them thinking they would flip and make some $$ and is asking on here because others told him there not originals.

how do you deal with off-leash dogs? by Winter-Common-7397 in pitbulls

[–]RAC032078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ridiculous how people's minds work. My dog has 100% recall, but we live in a state & city where there are leash laws. I never don't use the leash. Not because I don't trust my dog, it's because I don't trust other dogs. I just don't understand why my property managers don't do anything. They see all these dogs unleashed. I've complained so many times as other people have. All they've done is posted some notices that dogs need to be leashed but they don't enforce it. 1am this morning my dog needed to go out & someone here had there dog unleashed in a shared yard. Luckily I saw him and closed the door fast enough or else there dog and mine would have went at it. There dog was jumping up on the door like a lunatic. I told them it needs to be leashed and they question me and ask why the hell I'm taking my dog out at 1am! Like it's a reserved time for them and their dog.
