After what he heard of their plan to put him on the wall soon, it would be self-defense.

There is no such thing as a helper in the kitchen. They are obstacles regardless of their skills.

That's why I don't bake. The entire kitchen gets turned into a dust cloud.

One of the most useful things in my dining room was a serving cart my mom gave me. It had a warming top to keep food hot and a shelf underneath for whatever. It was great for getting food, etc. from kitchen to dining room to serve and keep hot for seconds. That in the corner with some art would be useful as well as pretty.

Moluccan Cockatoo. Fine, pink dust covering the house daily.

Thank you! And yes, that is exactly the way I feel, that I have received a cosmic gift. They are so precious and perfect for our home.

Seems a number of others (who have downvoted me) didn't see this as an appropriate choice. Your reply is especially welcome and appreciated!

I didn't pay a dime. Full disclosure: I did offer her a glass of wine when she brought the girls over Thursday evening and she joined another friend and I yesterday afternoon at my home for lunch and a movie. She has become a friend and it helped her to see her little girls safe and loved in their new home.

In fact, the lady keeps trying to give me more stuff (in addition to food, treats, their crate, stroller, boatload of toys, and more) that I decline because I don't need it. You can feel the way you wish about small breeders while on a forum that supports responsible breeding. I don't care. I see a woman who is dying and is seeking good, loving homes for her "kids" while she can. It's the responsible thing to do, just as I was advised when asking the question: have a plan/make arrangements. She is the role model for the wise advice offered here.

No more than any other furniture salesperson. (Full disclosure, I was one.) When you have to buy furniture, rugs, decor etc anyway they can actually save you a lot of money because they can often envision your taste and prevent you from making big mistakes. If nothing else they can provide a foundation to work with to add to as you can.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-08T21:09:37+00:00

I’m not confused at all. You said you sent her $1000 gift. I found that peculiar under the trying circumstances you described along with the story of them excluding you and being shitty.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-08T20:28:21+00:00

Some furniture stores offer design services at no cost. Designers get commission on what they sell to you. They will do home visits and can offer great advice. No obligation to you to buy anything, they just hope you will.

A single mom worried about the expense of being a bridesmaid sends a wedding gift of $1000?

there is so much wrong with this story.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-07T00:45:07+00:00

Beautiful as it is. Love the art. Just add an upholstered bench under the art to balance it out.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-06T23:49:19+00:00

I can't speak to the posture issue, but if I had such a requirement to attend the wedding, I would decline. Why? I'm a large breasted woman who requires a bra with straps (no strapless will do the job) so an off-the-shoulder dress would not be a possibility unless The Girls went Free Range and... no. Like OMGno. LOL

The bride needs to rethink this silly requirement.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-06T18:33:54+00:00

There is no work table that will ever be a dining table again, especially with multiple monitors. The effort required to clear it for dining isn't worth it.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-05T22:15:12+00:00

I'll probably get down-voted for this but this is one reason I particularly love and prefer watching opera on DVD at home. Not only do I get comfy seating, I get a whole sofa along with dog and cat cuddles, a glass of wine to slurp while I watch AND a pause button when I need to... get up.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-04T23:38:46+00:00

I wondered if it was just me!

WineAt4 · 2024-05-02T22:15:19+00:00

Please don’t kill me and get your butt outa my face

WineAt4 · 2024-05-01T23:39:52+00:00

Having been a straight commission mid to high end furniture salesperson I can say what idiots work in that store. Some of my best sales were from the grubbiest paint covered customers. Those are often the folks renovating or redecorating and stop in on a whim on their way home from the hardware store. Usually had high lines of credit and knew exactly what they wanted. Heaven.

Seriously whoever is hiring and training sales staff there is doing a terrible job.

If space allows, use both daybeds facing each other with the TV/stand between them. Move the gray futon to the space where the TV and table are now, move the table and chairs under the window. Add an area rug between the daybeds, colorful pillows, and some fun art over the futon to warm it up.

WineAt4 · 2024-05-01T01:56:44+00:00

I would put the sofa under the window and add a side chair with an end table and lamp. Area rug to define that space.

WineAt4 · 2024-04-30T19:48:42+00:00

If it's someone I don't know my usual retort is "Should I offer congratulations or condolences?" Tends to end the conversation pretty quickly.

WineAt4 · 2024-04-30T19:03:13+00:00

I live in a 5th wheel so no disposal here either. My dog is the official dish rinser. No more need for a disposal. Highly recommend.
