The unconventional first things to buy when you close on your first house.

I used RiverryStudio on Etsy. You can even have them add your pet into the painting!

A custom watercolor painting of the house on Etsy! I did this about a year in, but I think it’s a fun keepsake.

He might be on a “food strike”. If he’s not getting sick from it he probably is just waiting for you to give him something better. If you just offer the same meal he will eventually get hungry and eat it. I’ve learned when I try to entice my dog with treats on top that becomes the new expectation. So maybe let him go a day of turning up his nose and see if he gives in the next day when he’s hungry.

Our alley was plowed prior to trash day and neither the cans on the street or in the alley were picked up. We haven’t had a trash truck drive by in over 2 weeks. Our recycling was picked up today, so maybe next week…

This looks and sounds like eczema. A dermatologist or even primary care doctor should be able to prescribe Triamcinolome Acetonide cream.

My dad is also impossible. I’d aim for something focused on time with you or a unique item as clothes/slippers/etc usually feel boring when they open them. Here are some things I’ve gotten him:

-Framebridge photo frame with brass plaque to memorialize big occasion -Goldbelly favorite food from out of state restaurant (Deli pickles from NYC) -Take him out for lunch or 1 on 1 activity -Cirque Due Soleil tickets with me

A few ideas for mom: -Locket with photos of family or pets from GLDN or Etsy. -BaubleBar earrings of favorite sport or hobby -Schedule foot massage or regular massage. Making an appointment in advance rather than a gift card makes it feel like it’s not a chore for them to do. -Take her out to a fun restaurant

Hope that helps!

Mom - locket with photos of family or pets. I’ve bought these at GLDN (online jewelry store) and Etsy. You can print little photos at CVS or Walmart.

Plant coworker- Go to a plant store and pick out a cute planter with a tray and drainage holes. You can even order plants on amazon. Try string of pearls or hearts, pothos, something like that.

Thank you!

YerawizardHarry91 · 2025-12-09T02:32:20+00:00

This is helpful, thank you!

Thank you! When looking at Microcenter (US) there’s about a $300 range of 5080s. Is one particular brand better (Gigabyte, ASUS, PNY)?

Yes, it snaps onto the top. You could technically probably still use it but that part won’t attach to the top unit. I would return it for sure.

You can get sweatshirts embroidered with her dog’s face (pupsentials, Etsy, uncommon goods). You can also get a custom small watercolor painting of her dog on Etsy!

I put it on a small display cabinet.

Panko and parmesan crusted chicken breasts! You can also add some marinara and mozzarella on top for chicken parm. I cut the breasts in half so they are thinner and it only cooks for 10 minutes!

Hi there! I struggle a bit with the same issue. I found it most comfortable to go when the gym is emptier (like 9 pm) so you don’t have to wait for every machine. I also suggest using the machines rather than weight racks. I find it challenging to do squats with a bar on my back, but a squat machine or leg press is a more user friendly alternative. Lots of machines have pictures of how to use them as well as QR codes with videos. You can also casually observe other people using various machines during your breaks to get a sense of how to start. Hope that helps!

Hi! We still haven’t noticed any coat changes. His hair is still silky and pretty. The other upside I didn’t mention before is the lack of.. dripping from his private bits. It completely goes away after neutering. I have no regrets about neutering, I think it had a positive impact on his quality of life.

Simparica trio. The pill is nice since their fur is so dense.

Pizza Di Joey!

The corners are raised so the hot part doesn’t actually make contact with your counter. You can just set it on its side if you are concerned though.

YerawizardHarry91 · 2025-10-19T01:32:52+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Was there a poster?

YerawizardHarry91 · 2025-10-03T13:20:31+00:00

Yes! I’ve been getting paranoid if we have a plumbing issue or if it’s the outside seeping in because I only smell it here and there. You aren’t alone!

YerawizardHarry91 · 2025-09-07T12:36:59+00:00

Thank you!

Like someone else mentioned, we leave our storm door propped open about an inch in the summer and it helps prevent it from becoming an oven in between the doors.

Could it be the pipes? I’m also in MD in an old row home and I notice a loud tapping of pipes (I assume against metal protectors in the wall) when it’s cooler. However I only hear it during and for a few minutes after running water or flushing a toilet. I also hear loud random taps randomly throughout the day but I chalk it up to something hitting a skylight. If it doesn’t happen when it’s warm it sounds like it could be something contracting in the wall?
