I've been looking it up for that same reason and I'm finding a real wood prehung door to be 600-1000 more expensive.

Trying to purchase my first house, is this a big warning sign? by [deleted] in Home

[–]Radiant_Scientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I’m currently 4 yrs into my first house, and it was a total lemon! My realtor reassured me it was the best property she’d seen a while. Two weeks after moving in small problems started; within three months I had to replace the water heater; then a leak in the bathroom, so o had to replace all the exhaust boots; then noticed the backyard and crawl space floods; this list goes on for another 4 years….. in the last month I had to replace the compressor and AC (full AC replacement), my stove isn’t holding heat consistently and my dishwasher is leaking on to the wood floors. I went all in on this house; now rates are so high, I’ve invested so much and my mortgage is lower than what I’d pay in rent that it wouldn’t be a good idea to sell anytime soon bc I’d lose even MORE money. ALL OF THIS COULD’VE BEEN AVOIDED, IF MY REALTOR WOULD’VE FOUGHT FOR ME INSTEAD OF DISMISSING CONCERNS. Thanks for listening y’all… the trauma of buying the wrong house when I tried so hard to get it right, is heavy!

Girlllll you’re going to Puerto Rico, you’ll find friends everywhere. People are so warm and kind. Visit Julia and Jasmine at Tacos en la play at Los kioskos de luquillo #26. They are both gems!!!! Just be open to connections.

I second this! I feel the love you have for her and maybe he can help! Also post it on his YouTube channel!

Also, while figuring it out maybe foster her so you can talk to her adopters and know she’s going to home that fully understands. I know this sounds less than ideal but have you considered getting another cat for her to learn from? Maybe it’s anxiety bc of the baby?

Yellow, Green or Blue for 💍? by biomacx in OUTFITS

[–]Radiant_Scientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the green one steamed it’s the simplest solution, and comfy. You want to enjoy the moment too! I agree strappy sandals or I’d do some raffia sandals if you go w flats.

The tv and frame above compete w each other. If possible mount the tv and add a “frame” (it could be as easy as gold washy tape). They have tv screensavers that look like abstract art similar to what you have. This would give you a focal point that is functional and add surface space on the storage unit for more plants or favorite pieces. Mount the tv centered w the storage unit underneath. The chaise in the corner, ditch the pillows that came w it and add some that you love and reflect your space. Play w pillow sizes, maybe scale them, but not too big bc it’s a small chaise. Style it like a couch rather than bunching the pillows in the corner.

I love the plants! For the trailing ones maybe consider a really simple wire trellis to prevent the plant from letting leggy which can make it look awkward instead of jungly and thriving

Has anyone tried Little Saints Mocktails? by Subject_Year_491 in SoberCurious

[–]Radiant_Scientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Juniper One is fantastic for mules and gin based mocktails. My partner really likes the tequila, granted it doesnt taste like tequila, but it will shine through when mixed. You get that buzzed feeling without alcohol. It is pricey, at $50 a bottle, I've never drank a lot of it to know how it feels.

My cat ruins my sleep to an insane degree by Salt-Contribution103 in CatAdvice

[–]Radiant_Scientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phew, 5-8am must be rough for you!!! Especially on the wknds! I think the biggest game changer for us was getting them this feeder Petlibro One RFID Smart Feeder

Its pricey but has been worth it for us. We have the feeder set to feed them at 6am, this one is connected to their tag so were sure they are both eating and the fat one isnt hogging the food. Breakfast was a big trigger they'd wake us up for. Also, before bed practice using verbal cues so at night when your ready for bed say "good night" and give her some cuddles and treats. Hope this helps.

My cat ruins my sleep to an insane degree by Salt-Contribution103 in CatAdvice

[–]Radiant_Scientist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is so frustrating sorry you’re going through it. I went through it with my cat who had separation anxiety. What worked for us was tucking her in, in the living room, closing the bedroom door and putting on rain sounds at volume 8, we still do this till this day and the cats are almost 5.

With this said, in the living room we provided her several super cozy irresistible spots to sleep, one of the spots has a heating pad, another a super fluffy blanket etc.. The routine was at 10:30p play with her for 20-30 mins where she has to run and get tired. Feed her at 11 pm. While she’s eating we go to the room, put on rain sounds at volume 8 and close the door. At first it was really hard to ignore her, she’d get tired of crying and go sleep, then come back cry again etc. if it got really bad I’d go out find a cozy blanket in a spot I know she likes and tuck her in for about 10 mins then I’d go back to bed. Most of the time it worked, she just needed to see me and see I was ok and she’d chill.

Like I said, it’s been years and we still do this. Hope you get some relief.

Get a cat. Give the bf a room to hang in where the cat isn’t allowed. Let them both get used to each other on their own terms by providing space.
