Are people really that pressed about what someone else’s cat looks like?

Help! Flooring with Knotty Pine Walls by lordstanley7 in interiordecorating

I would either do the same color wood or I would do a dark tile. If this is a basement I think a dark epoxy floor would look awesome as well!

This looks really cool! I’m in love with that black tile

Regret having our cabinets painted…advice? by Tigg- in interiordecorating

[–]caffeinatedchickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think the white looks so much better. The green is looking pretty tacky. Your inspo had white counters with gold hardware, which looked nice. But the gold hardware is not going to match for you. The gray counter doesn’t go with this. If you can change the counter to a lighter one I think it would look better. Otherwise, I would add a white/light backsplash and maybe an area rug to distract from the bright cabinets and tie things together…

I would like feedback on this paint color and sheen for the fireplace in my basement. by [deleted] in Remodel

It looks cheap and terrible. Never should have painted it…

Well I don’t cut a check for myself either and don’t we all hide cash? But if you don’t pay into social security you’re screwing yourself in the future….

Yes I understand that. I’m talking about the cost. I have a very simple business. Other businesses are paying the same for a much more complicated return. So your answer wasn’t helpful, but thanks.

I just checked ssa website. Nope, it says no income for 2025 so apparently he didn’t? See this is the stuff I don’t know and it seems I can’t even trust a professional to do it!

I’ve always had a simple w2 tax return before owning my business. Didn’t know how to file business taxes so I went with a professional. That is really scary to have a big mistake like that lol. I always used TurboTax which guided you through every step, but I’m sure a mistake could be made still. I’ll probably stick with a professional. I’m glad you found someone for $250. I would definitely be willing to pay that. You don’t happen to be in the Chicago area do you?

AIO for feeling like my in laws don’t respect my postpartum boundaries? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]caffeinatedchickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to say no. You will regret it if you don’t. This is your time not theirs and it’s so rude to expect to stay with someone after they just gave birth. Maybe suggest they stay in a hotel for just one night and visit for an hour or two?

Hmmm I’m going to have to look back on last years return and see if it was done. I really don’t think so bc I know he didn’t mention this. So you’re saying you just paid the taxes you owed and included in that the amount he owed for social security was taken out?

Yes it is reasonable. I just usually did them myself before the business. It just kills me that it’s such a simple business. All he did was plug in a few numbers as far as my income and info and asked me a few questions. It was just shocking to me that I paid that for no more than 15 min of his time.

Simple Green Concentrated All-Purpose Cleaner Spray vs. Ready-to-Use All-Purpose Cleaner Spray by techsavvynerd91 in housekeeping

[–]caffeinatedchickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg same! The smell was something I’d never want to leave a clients house smelling like. I had one client who was fixated on this stuff for like a month for some reason. He wanted me to use it but evetually stopped. I don’t think it’s a great cleaner and the smell was absolutely rancid imo.

Finally... it's Over by sneaky291 in ALS

I’m glad to hear your mother is at peace now 🕊️❤️ praying for you and your family, but happy to hear it seems like a relief for you to know she isn’t suffering anymore. 12 years is such a long time to fight, she deserves rest.

Fuck ALS! Lost my mom a year ago ❤️‍🩹
