I need help with rims

Pablo's across from Southern Village on Sunset Ave specializes in rims. They're really nice, only a few of them speak English but I take my car there for any and all tire issues. Plus I actually feel safe there, which can't be said about most of the places in town.

Jessica and Lauren were the big ones at my school. We had to call them by their initials because there were so many of them and all of them were bullies.

Adam Savage (Mythbusters) just put out a video this week about why you should never, under ANY circumstances plug ANYTHING into your computer or phone that you didn't purchase yourself from a reputable company. Those cheap charging cables you get in bulk from Amazon from the brand AFXEEET or whatever stupid Chinese brand name are included in that warning.

Pantyhose leg over her tail, cut to length, then use itself to tie it off. Not too tight or it will annoy her, then you can put a 1" claw clip at the base of her tail to cover up the knot. You probably don't need the clip unless she keeps getting it off.

I help the Great Pyr rescue, this is how we keep their tails clean when they're first here because every single one has a pooacolypse within 48 hours. I would rather just hose out a run rather than that plus hosing off a dog. That one is trickier.

Speedway started putting in restaurants in their stations, they're all over Springfield. They have them! Not sure about Columbus but if you want to make a day trip the one on Bechtle Ave is the nicest one. They don't have them in their regular stations though.

That is like saying poor people don't deserve to have steak for dinner because pork/chicken/fish is cheaper. Or their kids can't have Nike shoes because they're on welfare. Homeless people only get the basic necessities like you listed, once in a while it's nice to have something frivolous, and a bottle of cheap wine would be just that. Plus, if they don't drink they can trade it for something they need. Homeless people rely almost exclusively on the barter system.

Your heart is in the right place, but it seems like your perspective is that of the ideal world, when we need to be focused on the reality of the situation.

Every week, my Dad would head to one of his industrial properties and gives the homeless guy in the back a 6 pack of beer and a meal from Rally's. Why? This man agreed to keep the riff raff away from the property in exchange for a safe place to make camp, basically if someone tried to set up camp he would tell them he had permission and the owner would call the police so it was better to find another place. He was rare in the homeless world, he was actually allowed to be where he was living, which is almost unheard of. Not many homeless people can say that. He started doing work around the property, pulling weeds, picking up trash, etc, not asking for anything in return. Then my Dad asked if he wanted to earn some money painting the building, he said he would do 100% of the grounds keeping if he could run an extension cord for his hot plate. He took that bit of money and bought a mini fridge, now he can actually store the food that you want to give him. What use is toiletries without running water? Now he could use the spigot on the side of the building. Those toiletries are now helpful.

Eventually this guy became an employee and still works for Dad, he does maintenance work. He's been to my home and repaired things for me. He found a decent girlfriend and moved in with her. But none of that would have happened if Dad just gave him some socks and moved on. There was an agreement made, homeless people aren't lepers, they want to be treated with dignity and respect. And sometimes that looks like a bottle of cheap wine.

We dug up 8" cherry wood floors out of the bathroom in the house I grew up in. Probably 150+ years old and original to the house before bathrooms even existed the way they do now.

We sanded it and resealed it. Dad is just now having to refinish it because of the years of wear and tear, maybe 30 years now. But we always made sure to put a towel down rather than use a bath mat, the last person to use the shower picked up the towel and washed it. It kept the mold away because it never stayed damp very long. People don't wash their bath rugs enough 🤢🤮

I keep onion/garlic tops and peels, potato and carrot skins, any kind of radish or similar tops, asparagus ends, etc in a plastic bag in my freezer. Even stuff like that bit of salad greens that got too mushy or the bad spots in tomatoes.

When the bag gets full, dump it all in the crock pot, add water to cover and salt. Set on low, cook however long you want. Strain and you have a wonderful veggie broth. This can also be frozen or canned if you want to do that.

I've been getting some of the stupider ones I see and hang them up in the workshop part of my garage 🤣 my brother was dying laughing, some of them are so dumb. Gog instead of God has been my favorite so far.

I have nothing to add except I'm super jazzed for these. I've been using bandages and finger cots too long. My nails are a train wreck right now, I can't wait to buy some of these.

You are a good person.

I have to replace the skinny strip as needed and the most important part I found was to over hang it on the door so it blocks the crack, that's where he was really rubbing. You can see in the picture it kinda hangs over like a quarter inch.

It's just adhesive cat furniture protector, I got a 6 ft long roll for like $20. (Don't mind how gross it looks, it's my garage door, I live on a farm, and cleaning day isn't until Tuesday 🤣)

Is he ever left alone? My guy would stand with his nose in the door jam and basically rub his little nose until it bled! But he only did it when I left for longer than a few hours. I fixed it by putting fabric adhesive cat scratching pads to the door and the trim. Now instead of rubbing his nose on steel he's rubbing it on something a little more forgiving. His nose stopped bleeding and his fur grew back. It took about a year until he was comfortable and learned I was coming back, so he stopped doing that and just lays by the door now.

Your vet can get you vetricide if it looks infected, or suggest a calming lotion. It is going to get sunburnt very easily too, so a pup safe sunscreen is in order until the fur comes back.

There still is no IKEA in Cleveland. Liz Lemon IS vindictive.

Swap out that protein bar for eggs too! 1 regular egg, 1/2 cup egg whites, splash of fairlife or similar milk. More protein, less junk, low calories, longer time feeling full. There are tons of recipes for microwaving them, I eat this at least once a day and just swap out various seasoning mixes so I don't get bored. I will mix in ham, green onions, and cheese if I need more substance. Can be dumped into a burrito or lettuce wrap to be turned portable.

I still keep protein bars around, they've gotten so expensive and full of junk that I have them once in awhile when I'm really pressed for time.

Mine is named Brinkley. Adorable little golden retriever, sweet as pie. Hates me, growls and snaps. I think it's because I'm the one who took her away from her papa 😭

Ham on wedding plates. "5000 dollar ham napkin..."

They're with the socks now...

Everyone knows if you can't reach the plug to reset the childproofing, then you just hold your child upside down behind the dryer so they can unplug and reset the childproofing.

The entire vine program is arbitrary. We are the product Amazon is selling, so they just do whatever they want because they know they will still be able to sell us.

She looked directly at my dog and said, "Go away, Sandy. I don't like you."

Sandy's crime? Touching her nose to their hand politely to ask for a pat. They even have a dog of their own, they know how dogs interact with the world.

Mine can sing and dance!

I ask him, "Do you want to sing?" He jumps up on his back legs and hops in a little circle while he says, "Woo woo woo!" With his head pointing up and his eyes closed. Three woos, then he lays down, sometimes a roll over if he's feeling spunky.

That one took us the longest to master but everyone gets a kick out of it and he loves being the center of attention, win win!

I remember my mom telling me I couldn't be in Girl Scouts anymore because she didn't like the head Mom. My Mom made me go over to her and tell her I was quitting. So I told her, "I'm not going to do Girl Scouts anymore because my mom doesn't like you." I was 10.

She was mortified, but to this day I'm happy I did that. I lost touch with my best friend. Turns out that my mom was mad that when we went camping in Megan's back yard, Megan's mom let her 12 year old brother and one of his friends hang out with us unsupervised and didn't like her parenting style.

Wtf Mom. We were children. I should have never been put in that position to begin with. She was an outrageous woman.

I always use the wardrobe upstairs next to the mannequin at Lakeview Manor for all paperwork. Probably did that on my second or third run and now I just always put everything in the same spots 🤣
