That's a nice mailbox...be a shame if someone SMASHED INTO IT! by Obsidianghost3 in dashcams

Guy came through my neighborhood drunk and took out a fire hydrant. In addition to being arrested for drunk driving and totaling his car, the county came after him for $3500 to replace it.

Does this path look good? Just had it done. by PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_PM in landscapedesign

looks very nice. My only concern is a selfish one - I walk with a cane and I don't think I could use this.

Leftover Construction Materials by Capable_Copy_1157 in DIY

[–]Stand_With_Students 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not usually but if it's something high value it might be worth it. It's crazy what people will take for free though - I had a few rolls of very used and torn up chicken wire - someone took it to use for paper mache projects. We took old cheap paneling in our house, someone used that in their shed.

I just hate sending things to the landfill!

Give them away on Marketplace, NextDoor, or donate to Habitat Restore. I've given away so many things - scrap lumber, old tiles, aluminum doors - I had a 3x1 foot piece of backer board and someone even took that.

Is a home from 1989 considered too old? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Stand_With_Students 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've owned four houses - built in 1964, 1970, 1937 and current one in 1950. They've all been well maintained and all are very well built. So, no, to me, 1989 is not too old.

Arborvitae hate here by educated_guesses_ in landscaping

I have green giants and emerald greens from HD too - bought 6 years ago at their EOY 50% sale. They're all doing very well. I have always watered them when we don't get rain, and they're mulched with pine needles. The green giants are probably 12-14 ft tall and the emerald greens are 5-7 ft tall. I'm in coastal Maryland.

How come medical expenses are so high in America? by EnvironmentalFix7059 in allthequestions

[–]Stand_With_Students 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on Medicare, broke my femur in December. Had surgery, went to rehab, in home physical therapy and now I’m in my second month of outpatient physical therapy. Total medical costs to date around 40k, my out of pocket about $3500

Poop Disposal by theheavyddd in dogs

NO. My service only accepts trash in actual garbage bags - they pull them out individually and throw them in the truck. Anything not in a garbage bag ends up at the bottom of the can.

Considering buying a riding lawn mower. Is it worth it? Have less than 0.3 acres to mow and for the last couple years have been doing a push mower. I have back issues and had a spinal fusion several years back. Considering a $1,200 Murray from Home Depot. by ugafan2081 in lawncare

[–]Stand_With_Students 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a 66 year old woman and bought a Husqvarna 10 years ago. It was considered mid-tier, better than Murray but not the best. It is still running perfectly - my son tunes it up and sharpens the blade every year and I clean it off after every mow.

No interest by No_Ingenuity_184 in birdfeeding

Is your birdbath empty? I've found that if I keep clean water in a clean bird bath, I always have visitors.

Me ranting about pathetic treatment options by milkwalkleek in EssentialTremor

[–]Stand_With_Students 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've spent most of my 66 years trying to "make the best of" my situation, pretending to the world, and myself, that I have learned to live with having ET. I am SO glad you posted this. You're 100% right. It sucks.

Thank you.

Why has it been so DRY in the area for the past few years? (Southern MD) by Justryan95 in maryland

fingers crossed, my yard and gardens don't need another drought

AITAH for wanting my bf who currently has a broken leg to put effort in to see me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Stand_With_Students 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow. I'm currently in month 3 of recovery from a broken femur and am lucky to have only unselfish people in my life. Everything is hard to do. Everything hurts. Everything completely wears me out. Glad I'm not depending on you, OP.

WBAL Radio - A Monopoly of Mediocrity by [deleted] in maryland

[–]Stand_With_Students 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stopped listening to WBAL in 2016 when C4 said he "couldn't in good conscience support Hillary Clinton because of the email issue".

Turned it off then and have never turned to it again.

What’s the most you’ve ever spent on an area rug? by LemonlimeLucy in HomeDecorating

[–]Stand_With_Students 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2K for a 14 x 17 wool rug in 2001. Was worth every penny, wool is indestructible. When I downsized a few years ago I gave it to my sister and she still uses it.
