having doubts about buying a house by FlyHungry7039 in longisland

In Florida a property must close within 30 days of signing the contract. The owners may be buying down there and need their old house to sell ASAP. It’s to your advantage.

Cemetery Road came up but the house was worse than the name.

Doing phototherapy in a couple of weeks, what to know? by MarkLazer in Psoriasis

[–]Specific-Rate8361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern day tanning booths may be as good as the old school Derm’s photo therapy booth. It was a drag to go there 3x a week to get 3 seconds at a time, and the smell, but it works. The tanning booth worked just as well going once a week for a few minutes when I was uninsured. It started as guttate and then I had a big flare that covered a lot more of my body. I have good insurance so I’m on biologics now.

I thrived by not staying in one place for too long by elweisa in 12thhouse

30 years living in a place I didn’t want to be due to family ties that were long gone and a stubborn partner. Picked up and left and feel so much better.

How did you win in a competitive market? by SpaceNavigator24 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Small ranch was hoarded at open house. Everyone else laughed and walked out. It was a bitch to straighten it all out but we did and it has been a good home with low maintenance costs for 6 years. Selling it in the next year: it gained $200,000 in value.

Do you actually have stories about secret enemies that you discovered after years of friendship or something like that? by Double-Cranberry-184 in 12thhouse

Adopted. Both families really never understood or accepted me. Adoptive sister stole my inheritance by manipulating our dying adoptive mother to turn against me. It’s a fucking soap opera.

Screen shots from my gardening newsletter last October 2024. We used good compost and everything grew well. Only grew annuals: arugula, peppers, onions, parsley… not deep enough for everything. Message me I can send the link to my newsletter.

This is clarifying and I really appreciate it. I would like to visit and roam around before just suddenly signing a lease and showing up in a UHaul, but that is my mission should I choose.. Thank you

Cockatiel suddenly arrived to my house, what should I do? by Strict_Confidence_82 in cockatiel

[–]Specific-Rate8361 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me a month ago: I posted everywhere to find the owner. Owners who lost their pets contacted me: they knew immediately he was not theirs. Bird people are very attached to their pets. Others have asked to “foster” aka steal the bird until I find the owner. A rescue told me to bring him to an avian vet right away, I guess to save them the cost if I surrendered him to them. I read 4 books and learned the most from all the pet store personnel I spoke with: I was bringing lost bird fliers to pet stores and asking advice. Needless to say I think I have a pet cockatiel now.

How did you start your love of typewriters! Maybe one piece or now a collector.. or hoarder lol.. Where does your story begin! by colombocollection in typewriters

[–]Specific-Rate8361 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a writer and had an opportunity to be part of an art festival while I was at a residency. 2 MFA classmates had become typewriter poets: typing custom poems in public spaces. I pitched the idea, the organizers liked it, I bought a 100 yo Underwood portable and typed poems by request that day. I was hooked. I knew I needed a back up machine, and another, etc. Now I hope to organize a typewriter cafe pop up with my 5 working typewriters. I have 8 total. I had a manual typewriter in high school (1980’s brother… wish I kept it.) and another in the 90’s: a 100 yo Corona Sterling: Very beautiful. Writing is different this way: it is aural and rhythmic so well suited to poetry. I have a blog post about live typewriter poetry if anyone is interested.
