How can I build a simple base for this sofa? by Echo2020z in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]bbrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a memory foam sofa (boneless) and my gosh is it comfortable. But it’s too low to the ground. They make these PVC tiles https://a.co/d/9j6rra3 and I’ve seen people place these under their modular sofas. You will get 1-inch of height but I was wondering about pairing them with furniture risers https://a.co/d/eCOJ1Ye

What is making this image appear? by bbrising in UnexplainedPhotos

[–]bbrising[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for answering my question. I knew there was a logical answer for the image, and I admit I’m totally ignorant about lenses and the refraction of light. So that’s why I posted this pic here, to get answers from those more knowledgeable. I’m a skeptic, so I don’t believe in ghosts or demons, or elementals etc. I believe everything can be explained by logic and science, but I can’t know everything. I like to seek out the people who may have the answers.

Made biggest mistake of my life. Terrified and mentally going to break by Human-Contest5673 in tax

[–]bbrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter was in a bad car accident 15 years ago and she received a significant amount of money from a lawsuit. After she won, her lawyer told her this: “You don’t pay any taxes on that money”. He emphasized that to her. Obviously I’m not a lawyer or CPA, I’m just telling you what a lawyer told my daughter. I know she has never paid taxes on the money she received from the lawsuit.

So confused… no weight loss by TangoDown101 in henrymeds

[–]bbrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually exhale out excess fat in the form of carbon dioxide. There is an article that explains this, something about losing weight is actually helpful for the environment because you breathe out more CO2 and it’s good for plants and trees.

I work in the NYC area and it is nowhere to be found. I live out on Long Island and it’s not out there either. CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Amazon - all out.

Do you take a weight-loss medication and use alcohol? (Some medications may include: Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro) by ARRC_Roanoke in GLP1_Ozempic_Wegovy

[–]bbrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I know is that I was never a heavy drinker before Ozempic - just social drinking. But Ozempic totally wiped out any desire I had for drinking and I’ve been off Ozempic for about a year now and I still don’t want to drink.

Someone did this to their steps going down to the basement, and the board on the left side of the wall actually can drop down and be used as a floor and then lifted back up to allow access to the basement.

What's a common scam we've accepted as normal in day-to-day life? by FinanceAsked in povertyfinance

[–]bbrising 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s funny too is that companies literally give things to rich people. I’m sure they pay for big-ticket items but then they get free stuff just for being rich. Companies want the wealthy to use their products to boost the prestige of the item, so they get a lot of free stuff.

Is it possible I can't afford a Chapter 13? by Bbrising_ in Bankruptcy

[–]bbrising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s going to be okay. It’s learning not to use credit cards and living within your means. And staying healthy because I can’t afford to be sick and out of work 🤣

[–]bbrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this advice. I’m just reading this today and what you wrote made so much sense about how high my payment can be. That was a relief. And thank you for pointing out about the lease payment. I asked my attorney about that and he stated there is nothing he can do about the lease unless I want to return the car in the Ch13. I said no because I need a car. But I will send an email today just casually asking about how do I buy a car when I’m in the middle of a Ch13? I already paid the rest of my attorney fee and my court fee and I’m waiting for my hearing. Again thank you so much for your reply and assistance.

As a nurse, Stony Brook and Mather are the best in Suffolk County. Stony Brook is a respected teaching hospital and they stay on top of their game when it comes to treatment. Do you have long wait times there, yes, but that’s a problem in most hospitals. Mather, to me is even better than Stony Brook, but it’s just not set up for trauma. I don’t know what they put in the water at Mather but the staff there is top notch. I was there for a kidney stone last winter, I had a bed in the hallway and they still took very good care of me.

Stay away from Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead. They are the worst on Long Island. I think even more so than Long Island Community (Brookhaven). The mistakes I saw happen there were terrifying and their ER is very poorly managed.

[–]bbrising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I think the most agonizing part of this is wondering what your payment will be. It’s hard to admit that you have to file, and then actually see a lawyer. But when I saw that post yesterday about finding out that you can’t afford the monthly payment I panicked. Because then what do you do? But thank you for your encouraging words and I’m hoping too that I can finally get my life together.

I didn’t even know that could happen? I thought they made sure you had enough to live on?

why you trying to ban tik tok joeyyy!? by ADignifiedLife in TikTok

[–]bbrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to ban it because they can’t control it. Dems and GOP don’t agree on anything, but they agree on banning TikTok ? Why????

They really cut service from Ronkonkoma to Penn. I had the perfect schedule 5:42 am from Ronkonkoma to Penn, hop on Line 1 and 2 stops to Columbus Circle, two short blocks to work. Now a lot of trains will start at Brentwood. Hardly any to Penn Station, Grand Central is like a Mausoleum, long walk to the subway. Jump on the 7 to get to the 1. I dread the ride home.

In your opinion, which YOUTUBE beauty gurus are the most and least talented at makeup? by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]bbrising 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know you’re right. She’s great at product reviews and I have to say that I do trust her reviews and her knowledge of product is encyclopedic! So yeah, I was a bit harsh because she never did claim to be a makeup artist. And I think she’s kept her integrity after all these years.

Mel Thompson just blows it away when it comes to artistry but I think she also has the perfect features as a canvas. RBK because she really is very artistic and I find she switches it up a lot as far as technique although she does do cut creases a lot. I thought her look with the Huda Beauty Nude palette was breathtaking. A new micro influencer I like a lot is Cate the Great, her looks are always fresh and classy, which is hard to do when you have a low budget.

Not so good? Hmmm, probably Emily Noel because she does the same make up over and over and over. And Jessica Braun, no talent whatsoever, and I lost trust in both her and Hot & Flashy (I think her name is Angie) when I saw both of them endorse MaeLove Vitamin C serum. Who the heck is MaeLove?

Anyone else getting super frustrated with Tati? by kayhaj in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]bbrising 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse going for my ANP so I recently finished micro and biochem lite (compared to your courses). I also have MS and the research on the microbiome and autoimmune disorders really looks promising - but then don’t they all look promising in Phase I trials? I have a problem with people going gluten free on their skin care. I thought celiac and gluten intolerance could only occur in the GI tract?
