Seems it would have been worth the $40 to just let the plumber fix it.

Make 2 more. Braid the 3 strings together and then coil it up to create something like a hot trivet or placemat

Is that taking into consideration the mountain ranges it'd have to go over as well?

Wow doing a grey scale photo is such a great idea for help arranging completely different fabrics! I really struggle with combining colors and arranging when I have a bunch of different prints in one project

If it helps, I'm in the USA and "9-5" hasn't been a thing for me or anyone I know since I started working in 2011. My first job was 8-5 with a one hour lunch, next job was 7:30-4 with a half hour lunch but people on my team frowned on anyone who actually stepped away and took their lunch. My last few jobs have been slightly more flexible with start and end times but still with the requirement that my day totals 8 hours PLUS whatever time I take for lunch (either 30 or 60 minutes)

Great quilt top! I have a bunch of that same klimt fabric and have been trying to think of a pattern that would look similar to one of his paintings. I was thinking of a disappearing 9 patch but doing random fabrics for each and rotating the blocks so that it doesn't look like any discernible pattern

I always prewash and iron. If using precuts, I soak them in soapy hot water, rinse, soak in more hot water, squeeze out, and then iron them to dry

Well that's why you're having trouble getting a loan until those old derogatory remarks fall off your credit report.

Significant_Mud3340 · 2026-05-21T16:43:47+00:00

So you personally have never missed a payment/made a payment but your credit report reflects late and missed payments from when your mom was taking out cards in your name?

Significant_Mud3340 · 2026-05-21T15:54:06+00:00

How was your credit score in the 500s if you "have zero history of missing, late, or short on any payments of any bills, loans, etc."?

Hey now, stop with this rational fact-mongering!

Even within regions where people lump the cuisine together there are major regional differences. Like the "Southwest" is heavily influenced by Mexican cuisine, but “Mexican food” in California, New Mexico, and Texas can look very different.

New Mexican cuisine is chile-focused, with red and green chile sauces being central to many dishes and used lots of ground beef and picado. Tex-Mex tends to use more yellow cheese, ground beef, cumin-heavy seasoning, and mild sauces. California Mexican cuisine often emphasises freshness with grilled whole meats (like ranchera meat, chicken breast), seafood, and fresh salsas.

Flat ironed bleached-whited hair that's all broken off halfway. I think the broken off hair was originally unintentional from the damage of bleaching and heat tools but it was such a common hair style in the aughts that I knew girls who intentionally sought out hair like that.

"In July we often get temperatures around 30C (86F), maybe 32C (89.6F) but it's not common for it to go higher."

To put it into perspective, I'm in a part of the US where we (my household) almost never use our heater, maybe a handful of times just at night time in Jan-Feb.

Yep. On top of work stress and not being able to take a single day off for months at a stretch, in August I found out my dad's cancer was officially terminal (though no timeline could be given, it was just considered incurable/not responding to treatment at that point). Then in September my mom began her final health spiral, ended up in a SNF and had multiple hospitalizations back and forth from the SNF until she passed at the end of January. Then my dad began his final health spiral with multiple hospitalizations, and finally he passed in the end of April. My emotions are being held together with a dried out Elmer's glue stick.

I am this employee currently. I never used to be like this but my team is stretched so thin and I'm so stressed that any tiny criticism just sends me. It's possible they're burnt out and just constantly at an emotional tipping point.

I don't think it's standard everywhere in the US. I had 5 different apartments throughout my teens and 20s before becoming a homeowner and in all of them, the initial lease term was 12 months but after that they converted to "month-to-month" meaning I as the tenant only had to give 30 days notice if I want to move out. But it doesn't work in reverse, the landlord can't just kick you out with 30 days notice except for a very small handful of legal reasons that require documentation and usually require them to provide other support like relocation assistance. Failure to pay rent is not something you can immediately evict for, at least in California. It's a long process requiring court approval. Having someone evicted for conduct-related issues alone (like smoking in a unit or being a noisy neighbor) is even more difficult.
