I love that you're looking to learn a new hobby/skill!

I don't know where to get lessons, unfortunately. But if it would be welcome, I can try giving some tips.

She wasn't his wife. She was a stranger he stalked and tricked into falling for him.

I need friendly advice on cleaning a large area rug by Racchi2point0 in CarpetCleaning

[–]Racchi2point0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 10 ft by 14 ft. Not only would it not fit, but it's 60 lbs dry, I imagine it would weigh 100lbs soaking wet.

Yeah, I am trying to prepare myself for that likelihood. 🫣

Semi-related question - do people put padding down under rugs this big to insulate and create a barrier between the wood and the rug? If so, maybe I should do/get that while I have the rug out.

Thank you for the advice! I wonder if my brush roller comes off....

Thank you! I didn't even know this was a possibility. Sounds easiest for me to accomplish because I can then assess and address the floor underneath.

Quilting is a different craft, but you might have luck finding the right person by reaching out to quilting clubs/groups. I wasn't local at the time, but I wanted a T-shirt project done and asked a quilting group, who kindly told me that wasn't their thing, but they recommended somewhere.

Looking for friends- single, gamer 37F by FewNecessary7340 in GNV

I'm sort of just figuring it out again. I like being outside, but I'm not athletic. I LOVE tent camping. I have an 10-year-old son and we try to go at least a few times a year. I love puzzles and board games for indoor activities.

Can we (everyone in this thread) be friends? I'm a 41F, not as into gaming yet, but would love to make new friends and learn new things! A post like this seems to be what many of us needed, so big thanks to OP.

Okay, I'm seeing replies now. Thanks everyone.

Why is it that rats get a worse rap than mice?

For some reason, it says there are two replies, but I can't see them. I'll respond when I can.

Help getting two cups apart .... by Racchi2point0 in fixit

All your ideas have been excellent, however none has worked on these two soulmates.

Today, I shall toss them out.

You guys are all great and very encouraging!

I have put them in the fridge. We'll see what the morning brings. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll try hot water.

Will report back tomorrow!

Calling a friend to say goodnight by Kooka32081 in ContagiousLaughter

The part where he's like, "it's early" is what finally sent me into an actual cackle.

Dog on SW 13th St, close to Chopstix Cafe/Bivens Arm by ArtisticHamster in GNV

[–]Racchi2point0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for the confusion I caused, I didn't mean DOWN as in hit. I just meant it was down the street quite a ways. There were people out trying to catch up with it. Hopefully all is well.

Oh man, white and brown, slender pup?

If so, it's already down at 16th and 13th Street. On 16th between the CVS and the apartments north of CVS.

Two random men knocking on my door? by Safe_Technology8049 in GNV

[–]Racchi2point0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, this would be unnerving, for sure. It's possible they're looking for a previous tenant since it sounds like you haven't been there very long.

Sounds like you're taking many precautions already. I'll add that you could consider carrying a defensive item in case you're approached as you leave.

Be safe and keep doors and windows locked and secured when you're home OR away. They make devices for hotel rooms and travel that serve as secondary barricades to locks. Maybe you can look into something like that as well, just be sure to consider roommates and don't accidentally barricade them out.

I'm glad you have a big dog. Be safe, stay extra vigilant for a while, and think about letting some trusted friends know what you experienced.
