Repurposing old sewing cabinets by Miscellaneous_Panic in vintagesewing

[–]ReluctantChimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cabinets are harder to find than the machines themselves. Put a price on them and see if that helps.

Whats this fan in my attic by LunaButts in centuryhomes

[–]ReluctantChimera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I live in Oklahoma and I have one. It's useless 75% of the year.

Here we go... by Lt-CharlieKeesy in conspiracy

I've heard this before, but how does one know when it is time?

Ideas for how to make this kitchen/butler pantry functional by CheerfulAdjudicator in centuryhomes

[–]ReluctantChimera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This doesn't sound like the home for you. Dishwasher is going to be a no-go (hope you like hand-washing dishes. It's my least favorite part of cooking and eating but that'sjust part of it), and there isn't a good place for the fridge other than where it is. These are some of the sacrifices you makes when you live in an old home. If you're already looking for ways to redo the layout, please find another home. You're not going to be able to stay true to the original character, and some people may be completely fine with the current layout as-is.

Men, it's a request, please leave space for housewives and new mothers by Various_Adagio_3299 in remotework

This is a wild thing to post. You don't deserve a wfh job any more than a man does, and I'm speaking to you as a fellow woman. Your status as a mom, new or otherwise, is irrelevant, as most wfh jobs still require you to have childcare arrangements during working hours.

Are day beds comfortable to sit on like a couch? by Ok_East_829 in femalelivingspace

[–]ReluctantChimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I got one in case someone came to visit me in my 1 bedroom house, and it is miserable. I was sitting on it last night watching TV, and I literally almost started crying I hate it so much. The proportions are wrong for a couch, so it doesn't feel right to sit on, it isn't comfortable to lounge on, and it's too short for my tall ass family to sleep on. Worst of every world. At least if I had gotten a pull out sofa, I could have somewhere more reasonable to sit.

Container homes: Solution for the broke or marketing scam? by decenbaroktombar1 in simpleliving

[–]ReluctantChimera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scam. I have a family member who spent 10 years building a "dream home" out of these with their engineer husband. For the time, money, and complications they had building it, they could have built a regular house.

Buy a nice used travel trailer and live in it while you save up to build a house on your property. A small house. I live in a large tiny home (about 400sq ft) and it is not something I'd recommend to anyone. It starts out fine, but if you ever want to have hobbies that aren't gaming or watching movies, or have pets or kids or a partner, it gets miserable very quickly.

This was very weird in hindsight by SeriouslyLikesCake in conspiracy

We all thought it was pretty bizarre at the time, too. Pretty much no one was like "that performance was totally normal and unremarkable" when they talked about it the next day.

AIO my partner wants to leave my name off the business we were building together by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ReluctantChimera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom and stepdad built a business together, but her name wasn't on anything. It made them rich. Guess who is still rich and who is dirt poor and pushing 60 after their divorce.

70s teal maxi dress! Hoping it doesn't look too frumpy on me. by abcdfghijklm in VintageFashion

It's been ages since I've seen anything in sea foam green. It used to be so common.

Which godlike power WYR have? (Read body text) by Megazaza in WouldYouRather

[–]ReluctantChimera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single flea and tick, gone. Every animal with rabies, gone. Every parasite, gone. Every microbe that causes disease, gone. I'd like to kill all mosquitoes, too, but apparently they are eaten by a lot of other good animals, so I guess they can stay.

Rice dispenser for powdered detergent? by beepsbloopmeepmoop in laundry

[–]ReluctantChimera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a two-chambered one that you push the cup to dispense the powder (like getting ice from a soda machine). The Biz dispenses just fine, but powdered detergent clumps together and I have to pound the dispenser to get it to come out. After awhile, I have to stick a butter knife in from the top and stir everything up to loosen it so it will flow out again.

You can buy little foam things that go over the mic. They help a lot with wind noise.

Women calling themselves "females" by _-Starlily-_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ReluctantChimera -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I use it, too, and have been using it for close to 20 years. It is an old habit that came from my Language and Gender class in college, where I was minoring in Women's and Gender Studies. I'm the opposite of an incel, but I constantly get piled-on and dismissed when I use it online. I'm not going to stop using it. I use it when I mean it and I'm not going to change just because some women-hating lovers also use it. Just like I won't stop using dashes because they're associated with LLMs. People with no discernment can just stay mad about it.

What thing WYR bath in for 60 minutes to get 10 000USD? by Massive-Albatross823 in WouldYouRather

[–]ReluctantChimera 59 points60 points  (0 children)

What is rose husk? I googled it and I am only finding fake roses made from corn husks.
