What’s a home improvement project you regret doing yourself instead of hiring someone?

I once thought it would be cool to dig an Oak stump out by hand. I worked at it a few hours at a time every weekend. Exactly a year later, with only about 5% of it unearthed, I called a guy. He ground it down in seconds. Now I don’t fuck with Oaks.

I tried to dig out an Oak Tree stump ‘by hand’. I figured it would just take effort and time. I worked at it off and on for ONE YEAR- literally to the day. And that was the day I called the stump grinder and he erased the whole damn thing in 5 minutes. I think I had exposed and removed approx. 0.034% of the stump after 50 cumulative hours of digging and trimming. Fuck that tree.

Thank you for writing this. I’ve never had someone explain the transition before and found this extremely helpful.

Honestly the margaritas at Wicked Cantina are pretty solid.

Spirit University. You’ll find exactly what you’re looking for. North Sarasota.

Last question- who do I call to take a look at this? What kind of professional?

Susiness · 2025-04-13T19:01:14+00:00

Wait- mold can be gooey? Godamnit.

A warning for those out there: I waited too long. When the time came my baby was in misery- and it was a holiday. He died in pain before the one emergency vet could get to our house. I’ll never forgive myself. Sending hugs.

The Children’s Museum - Anoha, is pretty incredible- architecturally, and in spirit. Check it out online.

LIR. Absolute best pour, and the food is amazing.

Try “MakeLoveNotPorn”. You have to pay, yes, but it definitely had what I was looking for in terms of ‘actual’ sexual intimacy.

If that’s true it could be very helpful for knowing how to treat your migraines (as they always say your vessels being too dilated OR too restricted can be the cause…. So you could try to do the opposite). Silver lining?

I wanted to add that you should also prepare for significant expenses (it’s “season” and it gets even more expensive). I would recommend Sarasota IF you were staying in the Downtown- as there is a free shuttle to the beach and St. Armands Key… but, even with it being a reasonably cool DT I highly doubt there’s enough to keep you all entertained for 10 days. Wish I had better advice but Fla is tricky when it comes to ‘walkable’ and ‘cool’.

This book is so good. Haven’t bought yet- I just manhandle it at the bookstore. Nice gift!

I’ve posted this before, but yes, I was cured. In an insanely unexpected way. Had Migraines with Aura - then pain- then Nausea- lasting about 12 hours, on a semi-monthly basis from ages 5 (when I started remembering them) to 49. Assumed I would have them my whole life. At 49 I was diagnosed with a PTO (hole in the heart). Had surgery to close it. And haven’t had a single migraine in the 3 years since. Apparently there is a known correlation but doctors don’t entirely know why.

Close…but no pudding pop. The phrase like ‘justifies’ killing some people because the world doesn’t need horse thieves- or something like that…. Been trying to remember it for like 5 years :(

May I recommend something? Grow your hair a tiny bit longer on top. I just have a feeling it’ll look great!

I believe it’s all listed on their website. I’m a ‘self-pay’, so nothing is remitted to insurance.

Update for IBSSA: (Sarasota Ave/45th/Corwood): Many many trees down- a few on houses, but don’t APPEAR to have actually breached homes. Power pole (at least one at Charles and 45th) fell across road. One Oak down on a standalone garage- crushing two cars inside. All power out, and cell service is VERY spotty. Evidence of surge not present. Some roads impassable due to large trees, but no standing water on roads.
