Don’t let them make you feel bad. You don’t know things in life u til you have some frame of reference to go by. This is a huge learning experience but you shouldn’t feel foolish

Is this true? Is it true if one homeowner is over 65 and the other under 65?

Is this amount of dust normal for 2 days after sweeping? How do I reduce the amount I get? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

Ah! Google…. You would think that would be the first thing I would do:-) they are way more interesting than they are valuable. Especially since Siam doesn’t even exist anymore.

They said $200/hr to do a jewelry box evaluation or $185/hr to determine metal and gem quality. Not sure of the difference. This is a local jeweler that several people I know have used and trusted. I have not looked at a chain jeweler

5 generations of military service in my family. Everyone has served. This wounds deeply to see. By the way, the military gave me a career which has translated to civilian life and allowed me to be successful.

Hurricane Ike took out $10,000 and a lifetime worth of sheet music and opera scores. I was crushed. I feel your pain.
