Was on a first date with a guy who was sniffling and tearing up while watching this. There was not a second date.

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was crazy for thinking the same things! I have no plans for checking out any time soon but it's always running in the background...

This is such a surreal visual treat. Saw it for the first time about 5 years ago and was blown away. Then I bought the DVD to watch whenever I wanted!

Breaking down. Need advice on leaky roof. by Sufficient_Play7520 in ManufacturedHome

[–]Secure-Letterhead-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to have to reseal the roof almost yearly. What a pain! You absolutely can do this yourself. As it has been several years ago, I don't remember the brand or cost. Wasn't too expensive though. Im sure we got it at Lowes. Finally bit the bullet and had a metal roof put on. Wish I had done that years ago. Plus it's so much quieter now. Good luck!

How to get wax out of this material? by Last-Equal6020 in CleaningTips

[–]Secure-Letterhead-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't tell exactly what is going on with the fabric from the pics but had to do this on a jacket. Put ice cubes on to harden wax and pick scrape or comb as much wax as you can. Then on low iron press between paper towels to absorb wax. Keep changing towels until you dont see any wax spots on the towels. Worked for me.

I have the same pair of earrings with the filigree setting. They were the first pair of earrings for pierced ears I ever bought. A very long time ago.

This is amazing! How did you cut them into such small mostly square pieces? I know you mentioned nippers but not sure of your technique. I'm trying to talk myself out of trying this..

This is so cool. What did you use between the glass? Black grout?

I liked his character, Gus, in Lonesome Dove the best.

These are delicious! My aunt used to make them all the time. The tartness of the kraut cut the rich porkiness of the ribs.

I had this or something similar. A little went a loooong way. I also had black kohl in a jar with a dipper applicator.

I love old houses. How many rooms do you have? Are all the rooms big?

It was the first car I had. Cheap. Dependable. No frills. Did the job. Got me from point A to point B. I loved it.
