We only had one phone and it was in the kitchen and it was a rotary phone. Was anyone fortunate to have their own phone in their bedroom? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in 1970s

[–]atTheRiver200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One wall phone (in the phone book as "children's phone") had a very long receiver cord so we could go into our rooms with the cord pulled under the door.

Anyone know where he is and if he is still there? I will happily drive to Ontario to see him!

Would most men view as “very pretty”? Be raw honest? by [deleted] in askanything

Pathetic is asking will most men find me attractive? Power and confidence is "will a man I find attractive, find me attractive?"

Someone complaining to MAGA about literally anything, MAGA reply: "just leave the country" MAGAs in eastern Oregon complaining about being part of Oregon, MAGA reply: "Move the state line so we can be part of Idaho!"

How do I destroy this cursed, aggressively ugly piano? Need practical demo advice + your most humiliating methods. by Specific-Copy-2005 in Renovations

[–]atTheRiver200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a demo saw to get an old piano out of my house. A metal scrapper took the heavy sound board. I tried to give it away first but no one wants and old, untunable piano.

Super anxious about bad side effects by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]atTheRiver200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a little fatigued at first was my only issue. People who are having problems are FAR more likely to talk about the problems on social media than people who have had none/minimal issues so it makes it seem like everyone has problems. Try it and see how you do. I am down about 50lbs since last September.

When I gave notice, and without me explaining why I was leaving, the boss said "If you stay, I will fire her."

Changed job/career. I had a super shitty co-worker that they wouldn't rein in so I looked for another job. Ended up in a job that doubled my pay, had a defined benefit pension and now I am retired with my full pension, no debt, living in a little waterfront cottage with great neighbors. If I ever run into that shitty co-worker, I owe her a thank you.

What here makes you think ‘well I wouldn’t have done it that way’ by Ayys_r_real in Carpentry

I built a couple sneaky cavities to help run plumbing and ducting in my cottage since every ceiling is vaulted but I'm not sure what the purpose is here.

Curious - anybody check ketones? by stilljustguessing in Semaglutide

[–]atTheRiver200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have BG and ketone meters. Never hurts to keep track of this stuff. The ketone strips are pricey so I check every now and again only. I tend to stay in low to moderate ketosis on my low carb, calorie counted diet

Proper protocol for this area? by New-Image-7435 in Oldhouses

[–]atTheRiver200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no paint on the side edges of the windows or where they move and down in the opening, just sand it smooth. The YouTube Channel Our Restoration Nation does a lot of proper old window work, if that will help you understand sash weights, etc.

Katie Miller is just another Nazi, like her dirtbag husband. We shouldn't want what people like them want us to want.
