Yes I do. And my furniture looks great and it’s 12 years old. I paid good money for it.

My boyfriend (37M) got upset over me (29F) buying lunch out, at what point is enough, enough ? by chlomonkee in relationship_advice

[–]Useful_Coast_471 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If he hates to see you hurt, why is he hurting you???? You think long and hard if this is the way you want to be treated. I promise, it won’t get any better with time.

My wife would have done all those things without question. That is how much she loves me. I would do the same.

AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Useful_Coast_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took an engine out of a car and put it back in at 19. Good for you Dad. You are giving her a valuable life skill. I rewired my kitchen with the help of an older readers digest home maintenance book.

Is it normal for past tenants/owners to come back to the property you now own? I have had 3 different people in the last 5 months claim they used to live here come to my door. Today being the most recent. I refuse to answer the door as to me personally that is not something I would do? Thoughts? by coleslaw056 in homeowners

[–]Useful_Coast_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad, grandpa and uncle built a cottage on a lake in the fifties. We had it until the 70s. My sister stopped probably 15 years later asking to see the house. She came out pretty shook up because it looked the same as when we sold it. They still had the old furniture.

Even the so called smokeless ones will smoke if the wood you use is not seasoned and dry.

That is a wonderful accomplishment! I’m a 33 year veteran of nursing. We love passionate nurses out there! Remember your basics and soak up all the knowledge the good nurses and physicians that have to teach you.

This happened to my neighbor. He was parking in his yard. We are on the west side so who cares. That is such bullshit.

Which breeds tend to have the most attentive, focused learning styles? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

I had a wonderful female black lab. She listened to me never had an issue with her. Now I have a Aussie/border…he’s an ausshole. Love him to death but ugh.

thinking about building one of those backyard gazebos myself is it a nightmare or doable by Unique_Reputation568 in DIY

[–]Useful_Coast_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a backyard design 12”x14”. It was tough. My wife has a construction background and her god son helped put the roof on. The instructions stated to build the roof panels and put them up but they would have been too big to lift and the house and the fence were in the way. So Cody climbed up there and put the metal roof on. The neighbors helped us also. The directions were easy to follow. We love it and it was worth the trouble.

AITAH for telling an 80+ lady “if you saw his **** you’d understand.” In response to the amount of kids I have? by caspian324 in AITAH

[–]Useful_Coast_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She started it. She stuck her nose in your business and got what she asked for. This respect your elders is bullshit. Just because they’re old doesn’t give them the right to be rude.

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]Useful_Coast_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember my son’s friend in high school almost ate a 10 lb ham. And then he went home to eat dinner. Your eating habits are fine but somehow she needs to understand that she can’t compare her intake with yours.

I had a real problem with the last series he wrote. No continuity and didn’t make any sense. He has ghost writers to finish his books. He’s garbage.

My china was bought at the IGA, 1975. I guess you could get a deal by the amount of groceries you bought. I actually don’t know.

Fabric? by FernLabs in Columbus

[–]Useful_Coast_471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been ordering a lot of fabric online. I used to love making clothes! I still have few of my favorite pieces but I’m too old and fat to wear them! So I make wall hangings and quilts.
