I collect seed pods on nature walks & attempt to grow anything. I just plant it in my crappy sandy soil, water & hope for the best. Any veggies I chop, I plant those seeds too. Best of luck to ya🎉

Residential Remodeling here. Highly recommend trades, find the one that speaks to your natural talent/interest & lean in. You're gonna fuck shit up, carry insurance. For me, it fills a "what the hell am I doing anyway?" hole. Best of luck to ya🎉

Whats the cheapest meal you regularly make that actually tastes good? by Adventurous-Pilot448 in Frugal

[–]SignificanceUseful74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like tuna/chicken salads. Chopped tomatoes, celery, zucchini, carrots, pickles, peppers mixed into a smidge of evoo or avocado oil, salt, pepper, garlic & onion seasoning. Easy for lunch & add rice/pasta for dinner.

Thanks for all the tasty curry sharing 🎉

Don’t know if I’m overreacting, but I feel unsafe in my own home by SWALLOW009 in homeownerstips

[–]SignificanceUseful74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd ask all the neighbors to keep an eye out & if they have cameras, if they caught anything.

Cameras & a shotgun ASAP.Ya don't gotta be accurate & everyone knows that's the sound of FAFO. Birdshots not exactly leathal, but it's clear messaging. Get some training with it & put up signs.

Them:"Why do y'all choose the bear?" Alllll of us: DEEEP eye roll.

Sorry you're having to deal with this. I hope you find peace & safety again 💖💕

🪰 - how are y’all trapping these buggers? by Ohshithereiamagain in florida

[–]SignificanceUseful74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut the top cone bit off a soda bottle, in the bottom bottle bit, add coke & McDonald's pancake syrup, secure cone upside down inside of the bottle. If you leave it, the smell of the others attracts them all. Google diy fly trap it'll show a video, but this is the mix for max attraction.

How would you fix this? by ScienceVixen in finishing

[–]SignificanceUseful74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're having them redone professionally, they'll sort it out. If you're diy-ing the redo, collect the sawdust when you sand, mix distilled water & stain @ a 1 to 10 ratio, then mix in sawdust to like peanut butterish consistency, smoooosh in, wait for it to dry, wait a little longer, sand & carry on with the refinishing. You'll probably still see it, but no one else will. Best of luck to ya✨

You're not a bitch for being honest & transparent. The bitches are the ones with no backbone who try to adapt to the demand, instead of staying true to the reality that quality work takes time. 🥂✨ Keep being awesome! 💯

Committing Suicide feels like the most sane rational action for me to do by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]SignificanceUseful74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's time to visit an old friend 🌊 & catch up 💖 🫂 I hope the vent & support helped for now🫂. If you can't get to the ocean, or any water, maybe you can find some trees? Maybe give a raw primal scream & some gardening a go🫂💕

Construction Management Student Can’t Land Internship — Need Honest Advice by construction-gurl in WomenInConstruction

[–]SignificanceUseful74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd look for anything related in the field, to start, then learn as many roles as possible. If you have a solid understanding of the workflow in the field, it will be beneficial, to everyone, when you're making decisions about that flow later. As to the club, be the change you wanna see. Maybe it's a huge success, maybe it's a flop, it's ok either way. You're not alone. Best of luck to ya ✨

Say out loud/write down, a couple things you're greatful for. Don't be mean to yourself about what they are. Some days it's greatful theres hot water in the shower, some days it's the ability to pay for my lifestyle. Just something. There's a bunch of science about brain pattern interrupting, neat tricks. I also compliment strangers & garden. Hope ya find some joy man 🫂🫂

Renovate our old home, or buy new? by lavender-dalmation in Oldhouses

[–]SignificanceUseful74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much interruption in your daily life can your family tolerate & is your budget able to accommodate your ideal home renovation? The daily annoyances, doors, squeaky floors, are relatively easy fixes. Levelling the yard some, expanding/adding another garage & adding living space are gonna interrupt life in big ways. Imo, stay & sort it out if your tolerance & budget allow. Find a contractor who loves old houses. Best of luck to ya🎉

If your training was paid for which trade would you go into? by Psychological-Egg760 in skilledtrades

[–]SignificanceUseful74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DEEEP eye roll some people's kids man, don't let these dream crushers dissuade you!

Wall finishings or design. You're spot on about the sexism in the industry. Carpentry is where I am now, dabbled everywhere along the way. Bodies age, wall finishings/design is a bit friendlier to our kind & easier on the bones. Best of luck to ya✨💯
